technician when service or repair is required. Improper reas-  
sembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

RadioShack as this could result in a risk of fire, electric  
shock, or injury to persons.  
Caution: To reduce the risk of damage:  
• Do not expose the charger to rain or excessive moisture.  
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or  
been dropped or damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified  
service technician for repair.  
To reduce the risk of damage to the AC plug and cord, dis-  
connect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord.

cal equipment.  
OPERATION  
General Charging Hints  
• It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging.  
• Charge batteries in an area between 60.8° and 86°F (16°  
and 30°C). Cold batteries cannot charge fully. If the area is  
too warm, the batteries can permanently lose their ability to  
charge.

Notes: If the red or green indicator flashes during these steps, at  
least one of the batteries is bad (needs to be replaced).  
1. Insert up to 4 AAA, AA, C, or D batteries into the battery  
chambers, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)  
marked inside each chamber.  
To insert a 9-volt battery, connect it to the terminals inside  
the chamber.  
2. Plug the supplied adapter’s barrel plug into the jack on the  
back of the charger. Plug the other end of the adapter into a  
standard AC outlet.  
Caution: The supplied AC adapter supplies 12 volts and  
delivers at least 600 mA, and its plug fits the charger’s AC  
12V 600 mA jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these  
specifications could damage the charger or the adapter.  
3. To discharge AAA, AA, C, or D batteries, set CHARGE/DIS-  
CHARGE to DISCHARGE. The green indicator(s) light. When  
the batteries are fully discharged, the green indicator(s) turn  
off.  
Notes:  
• You can discharge/charge pairs of AAA, AA, C or D bat-  
teries while the other chambers are empty. You cannot  
discharge/charge different types of batteries (AA and D,  
for example) at the same time.
