Powering Your Cb Radio; Using The Ni-Mh Battery Pack - Radio Shack 21-1679 A User Manual

Powering Your CB Radio

You can power your CB radio from one of these four sources:
• The rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack
• Eight AA batteries (not included) using the supplied battery
case
• AC power using an AC-to-DC power supply (not included)
• Vehicle power using a DC power cord (not included)

Using the Ni-MH Battery Pack

Charge the Ni-MH battery pack (using the supplied AC charger)
for about 18 hours prior to using it for the first time. Afterward,
it takes 14-16 hours to charge the battery pack when it is fully
discharged.
You can charge the battery pack while it is installed or removed.
But the CB radio does not work during charging.
To charge the battery pack:
Connect the AC Charger to the
CHG Jack, then plug it into an AC
outlet. The CHARGE Indicator
lights red and charging starts.
Note: The supplied AC charger
is for charging only, not for
directly powering the CB.
To install the battery pack:
Slide the battery pack onto the
CB radio until it clicks. The battery
pack fits onto the CB radio only
one way. Do not force it.
To remove the battery pack, slide
the battery pack in the arrow
direction while holding up the
latch.
