iCOM BC-119N Desktop Charger Instructions

ATTACHING A DESKTOP CHARGER ADAPTER

There are 2 desktop charger adapter types for the BC-119N. One has a PCB, the other does not.
The non-PCB types require an additional PCB (AD-88). For some versions, a PCB is already installed in the BC-119N
NOTE: The BC-119N may be able to be used with future transceivers. See your transceiver’s instruction manual for the appropriate adapter information.

D For the PCB type

Connect the plugs of an appropriate desktop charger adapter and the BC-119N, then installed the adapter with the screws (supplied with the adapter). For some versions, the desktop charger adapter is already installed.

Installing the PCB type adapter

For types requiring the AD-88:

Install the optional AD-88 to the BC-119N with 4 screws (supplied with the AD-88), then attach a desktop charger adapter to the BC-119N. See the transceiver’s instruction manual for an approved desktop charger adapter.

• Installing the AD-8

• Installing the non-PCB type adapter

NOTE about the 3-pin connector:

The 3-pin connector is necessary only for the LiIon compatible type adapter. When you replace the desktop charger adapter from the Li-Ion compatible type to non-compatible type, fix the 3-pin connector to the bottom of the charger with adhesive tape, to
prevent catching or touching the 3-pin connector’s terminals with the adapter’s electrical parts.

CHARGING

Charging example– AD-106 for IC-F3260 Series

Status indicator

Not lit

| If the battery pack is properly inserted, it may have some problems.

• It is still charging in trickle charge mode when charging a Ni-MH battery pack.

IMPORTANT:

The transceiver MUST be turned 
while charging. Otherwise:

• The battery will not be charged
• The battery life cycle may be

Do not transmit while charging. When you need to transmit, remove the transceiver from the charger, and turn ON the power

SPECIFICATIONS

• Dimensions: 115 (W) ´ 60 (H) ´ 103 (D) mm (projections are not included.) 5 (W) ´ 2.4 (H) ´ 4 (D) inch
• Weight (approximate): 200 g (7.1 oz)
• Charging temperature range: 10˚C ~ 40˚C (50˚F ~ 104˚F)
• Power supply requirement: 12 to 20 V DC or the specified Icom power adapter
• Charging current: 840 mA ±10% (rapid charging) 30 mA ±10mA (trickle charging)
• Electrostatic durability: Air discharge 8 kV Contact discharge 4 kV

All stated specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation

Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom product, if the malfunction is because of:

• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earthquakes, storms, floods, lightnings, or other natural disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive
• The use of Icom product with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.

NOTE:

• After charging is completed, the BC-119N automatically recharges abattery pack when the battery voltage decreases. If the battery pack is often left in the BC-119N for long periods of time, the battery life cycle will be shorter.
• The AD-88 has a temperature detection circuit for the Ni-MH battery. When the battery’s temperature is outside the charging range, the AD-88 stops charging and the status indicator flashes until the temperature returns to within the range

PRECAUTIONS

R DANGER! NEVER charge other than the specified Icom Ni-MH or Li-ion 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! NEVER charge the battery packs in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated vehi- cle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
R DANGER! NEVER place the battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an used battery packing accordance with local regulations.
R WARNING! NEVER 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.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the battery packs during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the bat- tery pack or transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the charger with the power adapter when it is covered by objects that impede heat dispersal.
CAUTION: DO NOT let metal, wire, and so on, touch any internal part of the charger.

ABOUT CE

Versions of the BC-119N which have the “CE” symbol on the product comply with the essential require- ments of the 2014/30/EU directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility and the 2001/95/EC directive for General Product Safety.

CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: 10°C ~ 40°C (50°F ~ 104°F). Icom recommends charging the battery at 20°C (68°F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temper- ature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose thecharger to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT leave the Li-ion battery pack in a fully charged, or completely discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the battery until the battery level becomes middle level.
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.

DISPOSAL

The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging reminds you that in the European Union, all electrical and electronic products, batteries, and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) must be taken to desig- nated collection locations at the
end of their working life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws in your area.
