PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER charge non-Icom Li-ion
rechargeable batteries. Never charge or use
an alkaline, dry cell, third-party, or counterfeit
battery packs or charger adapter. Otherwise, a
fire and/or explosion may occur.
R DANGER! KEEP battery packs away from
fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or
explode. Dispose of an used battery pack in
accordance with local regulations.
R WARNING! NEVER modify the charger and/
or power adapter. This may cause a fire hazard
or electric shock.
R WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery
packs. They could cause a fire.
R WARNING! Occasionally observe the battery
pack condition while charging. If any abnormal
condition occurs, discontinue using the battery
pack.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery packs in
areas with extremely high temperatures, such as
near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated vehicle,
or in direct sunlight. In such environments,
the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the battery packs
(with/without the transceiver) into the charger if
it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery
charger terminals or damage the charger. The
charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery packs
during a lightning storm. It may result in an
electric shock, cause a fire or damage the
battery pack or transceiver. Always disconnect
the power adapter before a storm.
CAUTION: DO NOT let metal, wire, and so on,
touch any internal parts of the charger.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery in
conditions of extreme cold (under 15°C, 59°F),
or extreme heat (over 40˚C, 104˚F).
The battery may heat up or rupture if charged
out of the specified temperature range.
Additionally, battery performance or battery life
may be reduced.
Thank you for choosing this Icom product.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and
completely before using this product.
The BC-214N was designed
multi charger
to charge Li-ion battery packs.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the charger with the
power adapter when it is covered by objects that
impede heat dispersal.
USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose the
charger and the power adapter to rain, snow or
any liquids.
Always place the charger in a secure place to
avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized person.
USE only specified accessories. Using third
party or counterfeit may result in a fire hazard or
electric shock.
KEEP the charger away from TV sets or radios
to prevent interference.
MAKE SURE battery and charger contacts are
always clean. Otherwise, battery packs may not
be charged properly.
Be careful of the battery pack's temperature—
when the battery pack is extremely cold, the
charger cannot charge the pack.
When the charger is not in use, disconnect the
power adapter from an AC outlet. The power
adapter consumes power when connected to the
AC outlet.
When the operating period becomes extremely
short after full charging, the battery pack has
reached the end of its life and a new battery
pack must be purchased.
An appropriate desktop charger adapter must be
purchased separately to charge different Icom
battery packs.
NOTE: If your battery packs seem to have
no capacity even after being fully charged,
completely discharge them, then fully
charge them again. If they still do not retain
a charge (or very little), a new battery packs
must be purchased.
