• Unplug the charger from the AC outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service
technician when service or repair is required. Improper reas-
sembly 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.
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, dis-
connect 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 connec-
tion can result in an electric shock.
• Never use the charger as a DC power source for any electri-
cal equipment.

General Charging Hints
• It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging.
• Charge batteries in an area between 60.8° and 86°F (16°
and 30°C). Cold batteries cannot charge fully. If the area is
too warm, the batteries can permanently lose their ability to
charge.
