from any AC power source worldwide. Great for traveling!
12–24 VDC Wide DC Input Range — lets you charge the battery in ei-
ther a car or large truck with a 24V DC system. Switches from 12V DC
to 24V DC automatically.
Over-charge Protection — when the battery is fully charged, the
charger automatically switches to trickle charging to avoid overcharg-
ing.
Convertible Charging Outlet and Cables — let you easily charge
your cellular phone at home or on the road.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting AC Power (100–240 VAC)
To charge the battery using AC power, connect the supplied AC cord’s
small plug to the charger’s
AC INPUT socket, then connect the AC
cord’s larger end to a standard AC outlet. The green power indicator
lights.
Note: The supplied AC cord’s two-bladed plug is suitable in the USA
and Canada. For use in other countries, your local RadioShack store
offers a variety of adapters.
Connecting Vehicle Power (12–24 VDC)
To charge the battery using a vehicle’s DC power, connect the sup-
plied DC cord’s barrel plug to the charger’s
DC INPUT socket, then con-
nect the DC cord’s cigarette-lighter plug to the vehicle’s cigarette-
lighter socket. The green power indicator lights.
Note: The adapter automatically adjusts for 12V or 24V systems.
Connecting a Motorola Rechargeable Battery
If your cellular phone is a Motorola StarTAC model, connect the sup-
plied flat-plug cable labeled
FOR MOTOROLA STARTAC to the cellular
phone’s battery charging socket, then connect the cable’s RJ11 plug
to the charger’s
TO PHONE socket.
Connecting a Nokia Rechargeable Battery
If your cellular phone is a Nokia model, connect the supplied barrel-
plug cable labeled
FOR NOKIA 5110/6110 to the cellular phone’s battery
charging socket, then connect the cable’s RJ11 plug to the charger’s
TO PHONE socket.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
When the connection is completed, the charger starts charging the
battery. Consult your cellular phone’s owner’s manual for directions re-
garding your specific phone and how to tell when it is charged.
REPLACING THE DC POWER CORD’S FUSE
Your charger’s DC power cord’s cigarette lighter plug uses a 1.5A
250V fast-blow fuse to protect the charger from being damaged due to
overload. The fuse blows when the load current exceeds 1.5 Amp.
Should this happen, replace the fuse with the same type fuse (avail-
able at your local RadioShack store).
Important: If you are using a DC power cord other than the supplied
one, be sure the cigarette-lighter plug has a protective fuse with the
same specifications and polarity.
