A
Twin Char
g
er for Startac Cellular Phones
Your RadioShack Twin Charger for Startac Cellular Phones lets you
charge or discharge lithium ion, nickel-metal hydride, or nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries for Motorola Startac cellular
telephones. You can keep the phone with a battery installed in the
front chamber and a spare battery in the rear chamber, so you always
have the power you need to stay connected.
The charger has these benefits:
Battery Condition Detection — automatically detects whether the
battery is discharging, charging, or fully charged.
LED Charging/Discharging Indicator — lets you see the battery’s
condition at a glance.
Short Circuit, Peak Voltage, and 61/2-Hour Maximum Time
Protection — uses three different circuits to protect the battery in the
rear slot from being damaged during charging or discharging.
Caution: Do not use any Lithium Ion battery other than one that is sold
by RadioShack or manufactured by the original phone manufacturer.
OPERATION
Note: You might need to remove the holding plates before recharging
some phones.
1. Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the charger's DC
13.5V jack, then plug the adapter's AC plug into a standard AC
outlet. The CON and BATTERY indicators light in red and the
PHONE indicator lights in green for about one second.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies at
between 12V and 18V DC and delivers at least 1 Amp.
Its center tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit
the charger's DC 13.5V jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the charger or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the charger before you
connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the
charger.
2. To charge a battery that is installed in a cellular phone, place the
phone in the charger's front chamber.
3. To charge an additional battery, place it in the rear chamber and
press CON (Condition). The charger starts discharging the battery,
then automatically starts charging when the battery is discharged
completely. The indicators light as follows:
CON — lights during discharging.
PHONE — red while charging a battery in the front chamber. The
phone's display indicates when the battery is fully charged.
Note: The first time you place a phone which requires more than
150 mA in the front chamber, the PHONE indicator lights in green
for about 2 minutes (longer if the phone’s power is on), then lights
in red.
BATTERY — red while charging a battery in the rear chamber;
green when the battery is fully charged.
Notes:
• When a battery is installed in the rear chamber, pressing CON
reverses the process to discharge (if the battery is charging) or
charge (if the battery is discharging).
• The charger stops charging automatically if the battery cannot be
charged to a minimum working voltage. If this happens, replace
the battery with a new one of the same type.
• Do not store the battery in the charger for more than one week.
