. Battery charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack
must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF
while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
BC-190/BC-119N/BC-121N : +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
BC-152
The Li-Ion battery
• Use the specified chargers (BC-152, BC-190, BC-119N and BC-
121N). NEVER use another manufacturer's charger.
• Use the specified AC adapter for each charger.
• NEVER use another manufacturer's AC adapter.
Recommendation:
Charge the supplied battery pack for a maximum of up to 10
hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd batteries in that
it is not necessary to completely charge and discharge them to
prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the battery in inter-
vals, and not for extended periods is recommended.
