■ 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 the
power OFF while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
• Use the specified chargers (BC-150, BC-119N and BC-
121N). NEVER use another manufacture’s charger.
• Use the supplied AC adapter (BC-147A/E or BM-95V) for
the BC-150. NEVER use another manufacture’s adapters.
NEVER connect DC power to the battery case when in-
stalling alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage
the transceiver.
D Recycling information (U.S.A. only)
The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-
8837 for battery recycling options in your area or
contact your dealer.
■ Battery caution
CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the
charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals
or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and
water can easily get into it.
NEVER incinerate used battery pack. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to
the transceiver.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),
new battery pack must be purchased.
