To charge a 9-volt battery, simply
connect it to the battery terminal
attachment. The 4 indicator
lights.
Close the cover. The charger can
only charge one 9-volt battery at a
time.
Caution: The charger does not
automatically turn off when charg-
ing a 9-volt battery. For a full
charge of 9-volt batteries, remove
high-capacity Ni-Cd batteries
(such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-
299) after 7–8 hours, standard-
capacity Ni-Cd batteries (such as
Cat. No. 23-126) after 4 hours,
and Ni-MH batteries (such as Cat.
No. 23-526) after 5 hours. The low
charge rate for 9-volt batteries
prevents damage if one is left in
the charger too long.
Note: If both indicators flash, at
least one of the batteries you are
trying to charge is bad (needs to
be replaced).
6. After each charge, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet and
remove the batteries from the
charger.
ILLUS
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack 1-Hour Ni-Cd/Ni-
MH Battery Charger is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help
you care for the charger so you can
enjoy it for years.
• Keep the charger dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-
uids can contain minerals that cor-
rode electronic circuits.
• Use and store the charger only in
normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can
shorten the lift of electronic de-
vices and distort or melt plastic
parts.
• Handle the charger gently and
carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can
cause the charger to work improp-
erly.
• Keep the charger away from dust
and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
• Wipe the charger with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it look-
ing new. Do not use harsh chemi-
cals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean your charger.
Modifying or tampering with the charg-
er’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and invalidate your charg-
er’s warranty. If your charger is not
performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
