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 other countries, you can use it as a battery charger for Nickel-Metal Hydride (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:

Overload/Short Circuit Protection — protects the charger and batteries from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.

Charging Protection — detects battery charge status and stops charging when the batteries are fully charged.

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.

Three LED Status Indicators — let you know if the power bank is charging, receiving power or providing DC output.

Your charger is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable FCC standards.

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for your charger. Before using the charger, read all the instructions and

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.

Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair is required. Improper reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

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.

Cautions: 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.

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 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.

FCC STATEMENT

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this charger not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

SELECTING THE RIGHT

ADAPTAPLUGADAPTER

An Adaptaplug adapter allows you to match the size and polarity of your portable device’s DC input jack.

One Adaptaplug adapter, of your choice, comes with the power bank when you purchase it. Other sizes are available at your local RadioShack store.

Adapter Compatibility

The power adapter’s output voltage setting must be exactly the same number as the voltage your portable device requires. Also, the power adapter’s current must be equal to or more than the current your portable device requires.

1.Set the output selector switch to the correct setting for your portable device (3/4.5/6/7.5/9VDC).

2.If the power jack on your portable device is marked , align TIP on the power cord with + on the Adaptaplug.

If the power jack is marked , align TIP on the power cord with – on the Adaptaplug.

Important:

Your portable device must be rated 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9VDC (see “Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2).

Plugging the adapter into a portable device that has different ratings could damage the portable device or the adapter.

Be sure to set the correct tip polarity. Incorrect tip polarity can damage the portable device or the adapter.

USING AS AN AC TO DC ADAPTER

1.Disconnect the charger from AC power to change the output voltage selector.

Caution: Do not change the 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V setting while the charger is connected to AC power. Doing so could damage the charger.

2.Use a flat-blade screwdriver to rotate 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V to the desired output voltage.

3.Insert the supplied DC output cord’s plug into the charger’s DC output jack.

4.For devices which require 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V DC power, connect an Adaptaplug adapter to the output socket of the supplied DC cord, taking care to orient the plug for proper polarity. Then insert the other end of the Adaptaplug into the device’s power jack.

5.Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet. The POWER and DC OUTPUT indicators light.

If the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off when the charger is in use, the output current is beyond specifications and the overload/short circuit protection is activated. Disconnect the charger from AC power then from the device. Check the current requirement of your portable device.

If the required current is within specification (See “Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2), wait for at least 10 seconds before reconnecting the adapter. Reconnect the adapter to the device first, then to AC power. If the indicator still flashes or turns off, the power bank or your portable device may be defective.

If the required current does not match this adapter’s current, do not use this power bank.

USING AS A DC TO DC CONVERTER

You can use the power bank as a DC to DC converter to power devices which require 3/4.5/6/7.5/9V of DC power.

You must insert four Ni-MH AA batteries into the chambers or the power supply will not provide DC power to the device you want to power.

Cautions:

Use only fresh, fully charged batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

1.Follow Steps 2–4 under “Using as an AC to DC Adapter” to connect the DC cord to the charger.

2.Lift the battery chamber cover and insert four fully charged rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries into the battery chambers as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside each bay.

3.Close the battery chamber cover. If the cable is connected to the DC output jack, the DC OUTPUT indicator lights.

To conserve power when the charger is in standby, always disconnect the DC cord from the charger.

If the DC OUTPUT indicator turns off when the charger is in use, the output current is beyond specifications and the overload/short circuit protection is activated or the batteries might be low. Disconnect the DC cord from the charger and check the current requirement of your portable device (see “Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2).

If the required current is within specification (see “Adapter Compatibility” on Page 2), wait at least 10 seconds. Reconnect the DC cord to the charger, then to the device. If the indicator still flashes or turns off, the power bank or your portable device may be defective.
