IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!  
: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC  
DANGER  
SHOCK, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
This manual contains important safety and operating instruc-  
tions for this battery charger. Before you use the battery  
charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings in  
this manual and on the battery charger, the battery, and the  
product that uses the battery.  
: To reduce the risk of injury:  
Warning  
• Charge only nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride  
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries could  
burst, causing personal injury and damage.  
• Unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any  
maintenance or cleaning.  
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified  
service technician when service or repair is required. Im-  
proper reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock  
or fire.  
• Do not use an attachment not recommended or sold by  
RadioShack as this could result in a risk of fire, electric  
shock, or injury to persons.  
: To reduce the risk of damage:  
Caution  
• Do not expose the charger to rain or excessive moisture.  
• Do not operate the charger if it has been dropped or  
damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified service techni-  
cian for repair.  
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug  
— replace them immediately. To reduce the risk of dam-  
age to the electric plug and cord:  
–Make sure the cord is not located where it will be stepped  
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.  
–Disconnect the charger by pulling the cord’s plug rather than  
the cord.

OPERATION  
Always use a battery pack until it can no longer provide the  
necessary power, then recharge it.  
:
Cautions  
• This charger works only with 4.8-volt, 6.0-volt, 7.2-volt  
and 9.6-volt nickel-cadmium/nickel-metal hydride cord-  
connected or cartridge battery packs. Charging another  
type of battery pack could damage the battery pack or  
the charger.  
• Avoid charging fully-charged battery packs. Doing so  
can damage the battery pack or cause it to lose some of  
its storage capacity.  
• Use the charger only in an area that is at room tempera-  
ture (65–80×F). Charging battery packs in hot areas can  
permanently reduce the battery pack’s power capacity.  
To protect battery packs, allow them to cool for 20 min-  
utes before recharging them.  
• Charge only one battery pack at a time.  
CHARGING A CORD-CONNECTED  
BATTERY PACK  
: Connect or disconnect the battery connector only  
Warning  
when the charger’s AC cord is disconnected. Otherwise, the  
battery connector might arc and burn.  
1. Insert the battery connector of the battery pack you want  
to charge into CHARGING JACK.

23-416.fm Page 6 Friday, August 6, 1999 3:08 PM  
Notes:  
• If the connector does not fit, turn it over and try again.  
Do not force it.  
To charge a 4.8-volt cord-connected battery pack,  
plug the small end of the supplied adapter cord fully  
into the battery pack’s connector. Then plug the adapt-  
er cord’s large end fully into the CHARGING JACK.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger’s large compart-  
ment. Make sure that the battery pack makes contact  
with the voltage selector sensor and the two latches at  
the bottom of the compartment.

insertion  
Note: Do not insert a cartridge battery pack while charg-  
ing a cord-connected battery pack, otherwise, the cord-  
connected battery pack will not charge.  
3. Plug the charger’s cord into a standard AC outlet. After a  
few seconds, the charger automatically selects the ap-  
propriate charging current and charging begins.  
Notes:  
• The CHARGE indicator lights when the battery pack is  
charging and automatically turns off when the battery  
pack finishes charging, and flashes if the battery pack  
6
23-416.fm Page 7 Friday, August 6, 1999 3:08 PM  
fails to charge.  
illus of CHARGE indicator  
location  
• If the battery pack you want to charge is a new one or  
has not been used for more than 3 months, leave it in  
the charger for 24 hours, even if the CHARGE indica-  
tor turns off.  
• If the CHARGE indicator flashes, check the battery  
connection. If it still flashes, the battery pack might  
need to be replaced or there might be a short in the  
CHARGING JACK. Try charging a different battery  
pack. If the charger still does not work, disconnect it  
from power and take it to your local RadioShack for  
assistance.  
• The CHARGE indicator lights flash after five minutes if  
a short to the CHARGING JACK is detected.  
4. When the CHARGE indicator turns off, unplug the charg-  
er’s AC cord from the outlet, then disconnect the battery  
pack.

CHARGING A STANDARD CARTRIDGE  
BATTERY PACK  
To charge a standard cartridge battery pack, simply insert the  
CARTRIDGE  
battery pack in the  
compartment, then press it  
down firmly to ensure the battery pack makes contact with the  
metal pins at the bottom of the compartment.  
Caution: Do not force the battery pack. If the cartridge does  
not fit, turn it over and try again.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack AC Universal Charger is an example of su-  
perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions  
will help you care for your charger so you can enjoy it for  
years.  
Keep the charger dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry im-  
mediately. Liquids might contain minerals that  
can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the charger only in normal temper-  
ature environments. Temperature extremes can  
shorten the life of electronic devices, and distort  
or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the charger away from dust and dirt, which  
can cause premature wear of parts.  
Handle the charger gently and carefully. Drop-  
ping it can damage circuit boards and cases and  
can cause the charger to work improperly.  
Wipe the charger with a damp cloth occasionally  
to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemi-  
cals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to  
clean the charger.  
Modifying or tampering with the charger’s internal compo-  
nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its war-  
ranty. If your charger is not performing as it should, take it to  
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
