Radio Shack 08a01 User Manual

Multi-Voltage Power Bank and Charger  
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.  
Your RadioShack Multi-Voltage Power Bank and Charger combines  
an AC to DC power adapter, charger, and DC to DC converter to  
provide a portable power supply. Whether you are at home or in oth-  
er countries, you can use it as a battery charger for Nickel-Metal Hy-  
dride (Ni-MH) AA batteries or an AC to DC adapter with AC power  
input ranging from 90V to 240V. When traveling, you can install four  
Ni-MH AA batteries and the DC to DC converter provides voltages of  
3/4.5/6/7.5/9V to your portable DC device. Its features include:  
cautionary markings in this manual, on the charger, on the batteries  
to be charged, and on the products that use the batteries.  
Warnings: To reduce the risk of injury:  
• Charge only Ni-MH batteries with this charger. Other types of  
batteries might burst, causing personal injury and damage.  
• Unplug the charger from the AC outlet before attempting any  
maintenance or cleaning.  
Overload/Short Circuit Protection — protects the charger and bat-  
teries from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.  
• 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.  
Charging Protection — detects battery charge status and stops  
charging when the batteries are fully charged.  
• Do not use an attachment not recommended or sold by  
RadioShack or this could result in a risk of fire, electric shock,  
injury to persons, or damage to personal property.  
Safety Guard Timer — automatically stops charging after 4 hours  
to prevent battery overcharging.  
Reverse Polarity Protection — protects the charger and batteries  
from damage due to incorrectly installed batteries.  
Cautions: To reduce the risk of damage:  
• Do not expose the charger to rain or excessive moisture.  
Three LED Status Indicators — let you know if the power bank is  
charging, receiving power or providing DC output.  
• 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 ser-  
vice technician for repair.  
Your charger is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable  
FCC standards.  
• Do not use an extension cord. Its use could result in fire or elec-  
tric shock.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or  
shock hazard, do not expose this product  
to rain or moisture.  
• Do not operate the charger if the cord or plug is damaged. Have  
the charger repaired. Never alter the provided AC plug. If it does  
not fit into the AC outlet, have a qualified service technician  
install the proper outlet. Improper connection can result in an  
electric shock.

not use this power bank.  
CARE  
Keep the charger dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and  
store the charger only in normal temperature environments. Handle  
the charger carefully; do not drop it. Keep the charger away from  
dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new.  
When the batteries are low, the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off  
or flashes. Recharge or replace the batteries.  
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not  
burn or bury them.  
Modifying or tampering with the charger’s internal components can  
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your  
FCC authorization to operate it. If your charger is not performing as  
it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.  
If you do not plan to use the charger with batteries for a month, re-  
move the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy  
electronic parts.

the CHARGING indicator does not light. The DC OUTPUT  
indicator lights. Once the DC cord is disconnected from the  
charger, the charger starts charging the batteries and the  
CHARGING indicator lights.  
• If you have been charging batteries in the left chamber for  
over five minutes and you install batteries in the right cham-  
ber, the charger does not charge the batteries in the right  
chamber.  
3. When the batteries are fully charged, the CHARGING indicator  
turns off. Unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then remove  
the batteries from the charger or you may begin using it as a DC
