CHARGING
The TSTAK™ CONNECT RADIO can charge
only DEWALT® DCB series 10.8V/18V Li-
ion rechargeable battery packs including
DEWALT® XR FLEXVOLT Battery packs up
to 9Ah. Use of any other battery pack or any
non-rechargeable batteries may create a
risk of injury or fire. Be sure to read all safety
instructions before using this appliance for
charging your battery pack.
IMPORTANT CHARGING
NOTES
1. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when temperature is between 18°C and 24
°C. DO NOT charge the battery pack below
4.5 °C, or above 40.5 °C. This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become
warm to the touch while charging. This is
a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing
the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed or an
uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about
half the rate of a warm battery pack. The
battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and
will not return to maximum charge rate
even if the battery pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:
a. Make sure power source is working by
plugging a different appliance to the same
source;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights;
c. Move the charger and battery pack
to a location where the surrounding air
temperature is between 18°C and 24 °C;
d. If charging problems persist, take the
battery pack and charger to your local
service center.
5. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE to use the pack under
these conditions. You may also charge a
partially used pack with no adverse effect
on the battery pack.
6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, grinding dust,
metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or
any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from charger cavities. Always
unplug the charger from the power supply
before attempting to clean.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in
water or any other liquid.
WARNING
: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any
liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
shock may result.
WARNING
: Burn hazard. Do not submerge
the battery pack in any liquid or allow any
liquid to enter the battery pack. Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery
pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.
CAUTION
:
Danger of explosion if battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
CHARGING A BATTERY PACK
The TSTAK™ CONNECT RADIO includes a
large storage compartment. This compartment
also stores and protects the AC/DC power
adaptor when not in-use.
1. Open the compartment to take out the
AC/DC power adaptor (see Figure 1 and
Figure 3).
2. Plug the charger AC/DC power adaptor into

TSTAK™ CONNECT RADIO power-in port
before inserting the battery pack.
The Mains Adapter indicator LED will light
in red.
3. Open the appliance cover by releasing its
locking latch.
