Radio Shack 08A01 Battery Charger User Manual

If the required current does not match this adapter’s current
, do
not use this power bank.
When the batteries are low,
the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off
or flashes. Recharge or replace the batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
If you do not plan to use the charger with batteries for a month, re-
move the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
USING AS A CHARGER
You can charge two or four AA size Ni-MH batteries with this charg-
er.
Notes:
It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging.
See “Specifications” for indoor and outdoor charging tempera-
tures. Cold batteries will not charge fully. If the area is too warm,
the batteries can permanently lose their ability to charge.
Be sure the DC output cord is disconnected from the power
bank. The charger will not operate when the DC output cord is
connected.
1. Lift the battery chamber cover and insert two or four Ni-MH AA
rechargeable batteries into the charging chamber(s) as indi-
cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside the bay’s
chamber.
Note:
To charge only two Ni-MH AA batteries, insert them into
the left (#1) chamber.
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet. The POWER and
CHARGING indicators light.
Notes:
If the CHARGING indicator flashes, a faulty battery or short-
circuit exists, or an alkaline battery is in the chambers.
Replace the battery. If the CHARGING indicator still flashes,
contact your local RadioShack store for assistance.
If the supplied DC cord’s plug is connected to the charger’s
output jack, the charger does not charge the batteries and
the CHARGING indicator does not light. The DC OUTPUT
indicator lights. Once the DC cord is disconnected from the
charger, the charger starts charging the batteries and the
CHARGING indicator lights.
If you have been charging batteries in the left chamber for
over five minutes and you install batteries in the right cham-
ber, the charger does not charge the batteries in the right
chamber.
3. When the batteries are fully charged, the CHARGING indicator
turns off. Unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then remove
the batteries from the charger or you may begin using it as a DC
to DC power bank for your portable device.
CARE
Keep the charger dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the charger only in normal temperature environments. Handle
the charger carefully; do not drop it. Keep the charger away from
dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the charger’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your charger is not performing as
it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
