FEATURES
Your Radio Shack Cellular Battery
Conditioner/Charger uses advanced
technology to charge and condition
various rechargeable cellular phone
batteries — such as Radio Shack 171060/1061/1062, Motorola Micro Tac
and 9800 series, and Nokia 101/232.

from losing its ability to fully recharge,
you must condition it (by discharging it)
about once every 10 times you recharge it. Most battery chargers can
only recharge a battery. Your Radio

then recharge it, increasing your battery's efficiency and durability.
