A QUICK LOOK AT YOUR CHARGER
SELECTING THE RIGHT
ADAPTAPLUG
™
ADAPTER
An Adaptaplug adapter allows you to match the size and polarity of
your portable device’s DC input jack.
One Adaptaplug adapter, of your choice, comes with the power
bank when you purchase it. Other sizes are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Adapter Compatibility
The power adapter’s output voltage setting must be exactly the
same number as the voltage your portable device requires. Also, the
power adapter’s current must be equal to or more than the current
your portable device requires.
1. Set the output selector switch to the correct setting for your por-
table device (3/4.5/6/7.5/9VDC).
2. If the power jack on your portable device is marked , align
TIP
on the power cord with
+
on the Adaptaplug.
If the power jack is marked , align
TIP
on the power cord
with – on the Adaptaplug.
Important:
• Your portable device must be rated 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9VDC (see
“Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2).
• Plugging the adapter into a portable device that has different
ratings could damage the portable device or the adapter.
• Be sure to set the correct tip polarity. Incorrect tip polarity can
damage the portable device or the adapter.
USING AS AN AC TO DC ADAPTER
1. Disconnect the charger from AC power to change the output
voltage selector.
Caution:
Do not change the

setting while the
charger is connected to AC power. Doing so could damage the
charger.
2. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to rotate
3/4.5/6/7.5/9V
to the
desired output voltage.
3. Insert the supplied DC output cord’s plug into the charger’s DC
output jack.
4. For devices which require 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V DC power, connect an
Adaptaplug adapter to the output socket of the supplied DC
cord, taking care to orient the plug for proper polarity. Then
insert the other end of the Adaptaplug into the device’s power
jack.
5. Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet. The POWER and
DC OUTPUT indicators light.
If the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off when the charger is in
use, the output current is beyond specifications and the over-
load/short circuit protection is activated. Disconnect the charger
from AC power then from the device. Check the current require-
ment of your portable device.
If the required current is within specification
(See “Adapter
Compatibility” on Page 2), wait for at least 10 seconds before
reconnecting the adapter. Reconnect the adapter to the device
first, then to AC power. If the indicator still flashes or turns off,
the power bank or your portable device may be defective.
If the required current does not match this adapter’s current
, do
not use this power bank.
USING AS A DC TO DC CONVERTER
You can use the power bank as a DC to DC converter to power de-
vices which require 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V of DC power.
You must insert four Ni-MH AA batteries into the chambers or the
power supply will not provide DC power to the device you want to
power.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh, fully charged batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
1. Follow Steps 2–4 under “Using as an AC to DC Adapter” to con-
nect the DC cord to the charger.
2. Lift the battery chamber cover and insert four fully charged
rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries into the battery chambers as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside each
bay.
3. Close the battery chamber cover. If the cable is connected to
the DC output jack, the DC OUTPUT indicator lights.
To conserve power when the charger is in standby, always discon-
nect the DC cord from the charger.
If the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off when the charger is in use, the
output current is beyond specifications and the overload/short circuit
protection is activated or the batteries might be low. Disconnect the
DC cord from the charger and check the current requirement of your
portable device (see “Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2).
•
If the required current is within specification
(see “Adapter Com-
patibility” on Page 2), wait at least 10 seconds. Reconnect the
DC cord to the charger, then to the device. If the indicator still
flashes or turns off, the power bank or your portable device may
be defective.
