User manual ICOM BC-137

[. . . ] INSTRUCTIONS BC-137 BATTERY CHARGER Thank you for purchasing the BC-137 BATTERY CHARGER. [. . . ] Make sure battery and charger contacts are always clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge. Avoid overcharging--batteries must be removed from the BC-137 to stop charging. Use the batteries until they become almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. If your batteries 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), new batteries must be purchased. NOTE: When charging with a DC power supply (13. 8 V) and the ambient temperature is near 0°C (+32°F), in some cases the charging LED may go out. 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 PACK CHARGING BP-209 or BP-210 only CP-1, CP-17L or OPC-515L Check orientation.
