SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. To ensure proper and reliable operation, please place the
chargers on a flat and stable surface.
2. Charge only approved rechargeable Li-ion batteries for
RCA Portable Radios. Unapproved batteries may fail or
rupture, possibly causing personal injury and/or damage.
3.
Use of unauthorized accessories may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or personal injury.
4. Pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
chargers in order to prevent damaging the plug and cord.
5. Do not use the charger if it has been broken or damaged,
as it may cause fire or personal injury.
6. Do not connect any metal or electrically conductive
materials to the contacts in the charging holders; this may
cause electric shock, personal injury or damage.
7. Do not, under any circumstances, disassemble the chargers
or attempt to replace any components. Disassembling the
charger may result in damage to the charger and may
cause risk of further damage, electric shock or fire. Charger
warranty is void if the charger has been disassembled by
unauthorized personnel.
8. To reduce the risk of damage or electric shock, disconnect
the charger from the power source before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
1. This charger is not suitable for outdoor use. Use only in
dry, clean conditions.
2. Connect the equipment only to an approved power supply
of the correct voltage (as specified below).
3. The receptacle to which this charger is connected should
be close and easily accessible.
4. When using a charger, the ambient temperature around
the power supply equipment must not be above 104°F
(40°C) or below 23°F (–5°C). Chargers are designed to
charge only within the listed temperature range. (Battery
capacity will decrease under extreme temperatures.)
5. If the battery has not been used for long period of time,
charging will be required to restore the battery to its
original capacity.
6. Output voltage from the power supply must not exceed
the charger voltage rating.
7. Make sure the power supply cable is located where it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to water,
damage, or mechanical stress.
8. Battery life will be reduced if the radio is on when placed
in the charger.
9. Batteries should not be left in a charger for prolonged
periods, i.e. 3 day weekend, as this will reduce the life of
the battery.
10. When not in use, disconnect the charger’s power supply
cord from the electrical receptacle.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Battery charger requires an RCA DC power supply. The
charger is only warranted when used together with RCA
power supplies. Unexpected behavior may result if non-RCA
power supplies are used with this product.
