SELECTING THE RIGHT

ADAPTAPLUG™ ADAPTER

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.

Device’s Rating	Adapter’s Maximum
	Output Current
3, 4.5, or 6VDC	1000mA
7.5VDC	800mA
9VDC	660mA

1.Set the output selector switch to the correct setting for your por- table 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 over- load/short circuit protection is activated. Disconnect the charger from AC power then from the device. Check the current require- ment 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 de- vices 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 con- nect 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 discon- nect 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 Com- patibility” 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.
