8:aregr!:gNickel-Cadmium
Your walkie-talkie's CHARGEPl jack is
designed for use with Radio Shack's
walkie-talkie nlck®l-cadmium battery
charger (Cat. No. 21-516).
Cautions:
• Use only Pladio Shack's battery charg-
er (Cat. No. 21-516) with the walkie-
talkie's CHAPIGEPl jack. Using a-
different charger to charge the nickel-
cadmium batteries might damage
your walkie-talkle.
• Do not connect the battery charger to
the walkie-talkle'8 POWEB jack. Do-
ing so might damage the charger.
•Do not connect anythlng to the
CHABGEPl jack when you have in-
stalled non-rechargeabl© batteries.
Doing so might damage your
walkie-talkie.
New nickel¢admium batteries come ful-
ly discharged. To charge nickel-
cadmium batteries, turn off the walkie-
talkie's power and connect the charger
to the CHAPGEP jack. It takes 16 to 18
hours to charge fully dlscharged batter-
ies. You cannot operate the walklertalkie
while you charge battorles.
Warning: Never try to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries. They become
very hot and mlght explode.
Charging Hint:
Nickel¢admium batterles last longer
and deliver more power lf you occasion-
ally let them discharge completely. To
do so, simply use the walkie-talkie until
the BAIT indicator lights. Then, fully
[9charge the batteries. If you do not let
nickel-cadmium batteries discharge,
they lose the ability to use their full pow-
er capacity.
Using AC Power
You can power the walkie-talkie from
AC power using an optional 12-volt pow-
er supply (Cat. No. 22-120).
Caution: using a different power sup-
ply might damage your transceiver or
the power supply.
1. Make a power cable, using a 3.5 mm
power connector plug (available at
your local Pladio Shack store). Be
sure to wire the plug with the tip
positive.
2. Connect the leads from the plug to
the + and - terminals on the power
supply.
3. Turn on the power supply and use
a voltmeter to be sure that you have
correctly wired the plug. Then, turn
off the power supply.
4. Insert the plug into the walkie-talkie's
POWER jack.
Caution: Do not connect this power
supply to the CHAPIGEP jack. Doing
so might damage the walkie,tall(ie.
5. Turn on the power supply.
6. When you finish using AC power,
turn off the power supply. Then, dis-
connect the p.ower supply's plug
from the POWEB jack.
