CHANGING THE CIGARETTE
LIGHTER ADAPTER’S FUSE
If the charger does not work using vehicle
battery power, the charger’s fuse might be
blown. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a
1.5 Amp fast-blow fuse.
Note: Before you replace the charger’s fuse,
make sure the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter fuse
is not blown.
1. Unscrew the knurled nut from the
cigarette lighter plug on the adapter.
2. Pull out the adapter’s tip and fuse.
3. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 1.5
Amp fast-blow fuse.
Caution: Using a slow-blow fuse or a
fuse with a higher current rating might
damage the charger or your
rechargeable battery.
4. Replace the knurled nut.
Caution: Do not use pliers to tighten the
nut. Use only your fingers to ensure you
do not overtighten it.
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. If your
charger is not performing as it should, take it
to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
