IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains  
important safety instructions for battery charger Cat. No.  
A

.
1. Before using the battery charger, read all the instruc-  
tions and cautionary markings in this manual and on  
the battery charger, on the batteries to be charged,  
and on the products that use the batteries.  
2. Warning: To reduce the risk of injury:  
• Charge only Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries with this  
charger. Other types of batteries might burst,  
causing personal injury and damage.  
• Unplug the charger from the AC outlet before  
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.  
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a quali-  
fied service technician when service or repair is  
required. Improper 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.  
3. 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, disconnect the charger by pulling the plug  
rather than the cord.  
• Do not use an extension cord. Its use could result  
in fire or electric shock.  
• Do not operate the charger if the cord or plug is  
damaged. Have the charger repaired. Never alter  
the provided AC cord or plug. If it does not fit into  
the AC outlet, have a qualified service technician  
install the proper outlet. Improper connection can  
result in an electric shock.  
• Never use the charger as a DC power source for  
any electrical equipment.

OPERATION  
GENERAL CHARGING HINTS  
• It is normal for the batteries to become warm while  
charging.  
• Charge batteries in an area between 32° and 113°F  
(0° and 45°C). If the area is too warm, the batteries  
can permanently lose their ability to charge.  
• Do not try to charge batteries other than those listed  
in this manual, or use procedures other than those  
described in this manual.  
CHARGING BATTERIES  
1. Lift up the cover to open the charging chambers.  
2. Set Ni-Cd/Ni-MH according to the type of the battery  
you want to charge.  
3. To charge two AA, AAA, C, or D batteries of the  
same type (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH), place them into the left  
or the right chamber as indicated by the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) marked inside each chamber.  
6
 
• You can charge two different sizes (AA and D, for  
example) of batteries of the same type (Ni-Cd or  
Ni-MH) in the left and right chambers, as long as  
both batteries in each chamber are the same size.  
• You can charge four AAA, AA, C or D batteries at  
the same time while the 9V battery chambers are  
empty.  
4. To charge a 9V battery, insert it into one of the termi-  
nals inside either chamber. To charge a second 9V  
battery at the same time, insert it into the remaining  
terminal.  
Note: You can charge a 9V battery in one chamber  
and charge another size battery in the remaining  
chamber at the same time.  
5. Insert the plug of the charger into a standard AC out-  
let. CHARGE lights for each chamber containing a  
battery.  
When AAA, AA, C, or D batteries are fully charged,  
CHARGE turns off. (This is the end of the charging  
cycle.)  
Note: The 9V charging channel has no automatic  
turn off feature. Be sure you do not exceed the times  
listed in “Charging Cycle Times” on Page 8, or the  
batteries' capacity could be reduced.

6. When you finish, unplug the charger from the AC  
outlet, then remove the batteries from the charger.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your  
is an  
RadioShack Universal Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Charger  
example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-  
lowing 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 immediately. Liquids might contain  
minerals that can corrode the electronic  
circuits.  
Use and store the charger only in normal  
temperature environments. Temperature  
extremes can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, damage batteries, 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.  
Dropping it can damage circuit boards  
and cases and can cause the charger to  
work improperly.  
Wipe the charger with a damp cloth occa-  
sionally to keep it looking new. Do not use  
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or  
strong detergents to clean the charger.  
Modifying or tampering with the charger’s internal com-  
ponents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate  
its warranty. If your charger is not performing as it  
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-  
tance.
