Radio Shack 0904-211-18801 Safety Instructions, Charging Batteries with Different Capacities

•Do not mix battery types. (Ni-Cd and Ni-MH).

•Do not mix AA and AAA battery sizes.

Note: The charger does not charge if you install two AA or AAA batteries into BAY 2 and leave BAY 1 empty.

3.Lift the prongs of the AC plug until the plug snaps into place. Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet. The plug is polarized to fit in the outlet only one way. The red indicator lights when you are charging Ni-Cd batteries; the green indi- cator lights if you are charging Ni-MH bat- teries.

4.When the batteries finish charging, the indicator turns off. Unplug the charger from the outlet, then remove the batteries or AAA battery adapter(s) from the charger.

Charging Batteries with Different Capacities

The charger can be used to recharge Ni-Cd batteries with capacities greater than 850 mAh and Ni-MH batteries with capacities greater than 1600 mAh. Simply reset the charger to begin a second charge cycle for batteries with larger capacities. For batteries with less capacity, simply remove batteries before the charge cycle is complete, based on estimated charge times in the following chart.

Battery	Battery	Estimated
	Capacity	Charging
Type
	(mAh)	Time
AA	600	5 hr.
AA	700	5 hr., 45 min.
AA	850	7 hr.
AA	1000	8 hr., 15 min.
AA	1500	12 hr., 20 min.

Battery	Battery	Estimated
	Capacity	Charging
Type
	(mAh)	Time
AA	1600	13 hr., 10 min.
AAA	180	3 hr., 35 min.
AAA	550	11 hr.
AAA	600	12 hr.

Note: Batteries will not be damaged by leav- ing them in the charger until the timer turns it off.

To calculate the charge time for your battery, based on its rated capacity, use the following formulas.

•For AA batteries: Charge time in hours = the capacity of your battery × .0082

•For AAA batteries: Charge time in hours = the capacity of your battery × .02
