Rapid Charging - Icom IC-E80D Instruction Manual

Rapid charging

The optional BC-139 provides rapid charging of the battery pack.
D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regular
charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (charging
indicator on the BC-139 blinks orange about 10 sec. after
the battery pack is installed in BC-139).
• The desktop charger, BC-139, can only charge BP-217 bat-
tery packs. Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH cannot be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a
problem with the battery pack or charger. If this occurs, try
charging the battery pack alone, without the transceiver,
or try using the standard (non-rapid) charger. Contact your
dealer if you have problems charging a new battery pack.
• The optional CP-12L and OPC-254L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the
[DC 13.5V] jack in this case.
NOTE: If the charging indicator blinks orange for 10 sec.
or more with the battery pack installed in the transceiver,
try charging the BP-217 alone. You can also try charging
the BP-217 alone using the standard (non-rapid) battery
charger.
