Charging
precautions
NEVER connect two or more chargers
at the same time.
Charging may not occur under temper-
atures of 10°C (+50°F) or over temper-
atures of 40°C (+104°F).
When using BC-119: If the charge
indicator flashes orange, vehicle bat-
tery voltage is low and charging is
not possible. Check the vehicle bat-
tery voltage in this case. If the charge
indicator flashes red, there may be a
problem with the battery pack (or
charger). Re-insert the battery pack
or contact your dealer.

be charged approx. 300 times. Charge
the battery pack before first operating
the transceiver or when the battery
pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to be able to charge the bat-
tery pack more than 300 times, the fol-
lowing points should be observed:
1. Avoid overcharging. The charging pe-
riod should be less than 48 hours.
2. Use the battery until it becomes al-
most completely exhausted under
normal conditions. We recommend
battery charging just after transmitting
becomes impossible.
