Cautions:  
• Always plug the AC or DC adapter  
into  
the  
conditioner/charger  
before you plug it into a standard  
AC outlet, and always unplug it  
from the outlet before you unplug  
it from the conditioner/charger.  
1. Press down on the battery’s lock-  
ing tab.  
• Never connect power to the condi-  
tioner/charger when you are not  
using it to charge or condition a  
battery.  
2. Push the battery toward the right  
until it slips out of the mounting  
guides.  
Using Standard AC Power  
REMOVING AN  
ADAPTER  
To power the conditioner/charger from  
standard AC power, connect the sup-  
plied AC adapter’s barrel plug to the  
DC 12V-24V  
conditioner/charger’s  
jack.  
Then plug the other end into a stan-  
dard AC outlet.

Caution: The supplied AC adapter  
supplies 13.5 volts DC and delivers up  
to 1000 mA. It has a center positive  
plug which properly fits the conditioner/

You can power the conditioner/charger  
from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter  
socket using the supplied DC power  
cord.  
Caution: The supplied DC power cord

are recharging.  
You can charge a nickel-cadmium or  
nickel-metal hydride rechargeable bat-  
tery by selecting either a slow-charge  
for a complete and long-lasting charge,  
or a quick-charge so you can begin us-  
ing it more quickly.

• Charging time also varies depend-  
ing on the battery’s voltage condi-  
tion. Old batteries take longer to  
fully charge.  
To quick-charge the battery, press  
QUICK/SLOW so the red QUICK

To ensure the batteries are ready  
to use at any time, the conditioner/  
charger continuously charges the  
battery with a 20–30 mA trickle  
current after the batteries are fully  
charged.

CONDITIONING A  
RECHARGEABLE  
BATTERY  
REFRESHING A FULLY  
DISCHARGED BATTERY  
Some rechargeable batteries that are  
not used for a long time can lose their  
ability to be recharged due to the crys-  
tallization of the electrodes inside the  
battery. Your battery conditioner/  
charger lets you refresh this type of  
battery, which is almost the same as  
conditioning it.  
To prevent your battery from losing its  
ability to fully recharge, you must con-  
dition it (by discharging it) about once  
every 10 times you recharge it.  
Follow these steps to condition (dis-  
charge) a rechargeable battery.  
CONDITION  
1. Press  
to discharge  
Note that when a battery has fully dis-  
charged, its voltage might be too low to  
start the conditioning process and you  
the remaining power in the bat-  
tery. The yellow CONDITION LED  
lights and the conditioner/charger  
beeps once.  
CONDI-  
might need to repeatedly press  
TION  
until the yellow CONDITION LED  
lights.  
Note: To switch to the recharging  
mode before discharging is com-  
plete, remove the battery from the  
conditioner/charger and reinstall  
it. The conditioner/charger beeps  
once and automatically switches  
to the charging mode.  
When discharging is complete,  
the yellow CONDITION LED turns  
off. The conditioner/charger auto-  
matically starts charging, and the  
red CHARGE LED lights.  
2. If necessary, press the battery’s  
release latch at the left side, then  
push the battery toward the right  
to remove it.  
3. Disconnect power if you do not  
want to discharge another battery.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack Cellular Battery Conditioner/Charger is an example of superior  
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your con-  
ditioner/charger so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the conditioner/charger dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediate-  
ly. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir-  
cuits.  
Handle the conditioner/charger gently and carefully. Dropping it can  
damage the circuit boards and can cause it to work improperly.  
Use and store the conditioner/charger only in normal temperature en-  
vironments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the conditioner/charger away from dust and dirt, which can  
cause premature wear of parts.  
Wipe the conditioner/charger with a damp cloth occasionally to keep  
CLEANER  
it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or  
strong detergents to clean it.  
Modifying or tampering with the conditioner/charger’s internal components can  
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your conditioner/charger is  
not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

3. If the fuse is blown, remove it and  
replace the fuse with a new one of  
the same size and rating.  
REPLACING THE DC  
POWER CORD’S FUSE  
If the battery conditioner/charger does  
not work using vehicle battery power,  
check the fuse in the DC power cord. If  
the fuse is blown, replace it with a 3  
Amp, 250V fast blow fuse (such as Ra-  
dio Shack Cat. No. 270-1009).  
4. Grasp the two ends of the fuse  
holder, align the cigarette-lighter  
plug’s tab with the slot, then push  
them together and twist them  
clockwise until they lock in place.  
Caution: Do not use a fuse with a  
higher rating.

tab aligned with the slot  
Follow these steps to check a fuse and  
replace it, if necessary.  
1. Disconnect the DC power cord  
from the cigarette-lighter socket.  
2. Grasp the two ends of the fuse  
holder, twist them counterclock-  
wise, then pull the ends apart.
