THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that
you stop using your charger.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack
may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
Your charger is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable
FCC requirements.
OPERATION
Power the charger using the supplied 12V, 700mA AC adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies
12V DC and delivers at least 700 mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
charger's DC 12V 700MA jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these spec-
ifications could damage the charger or the adapter.
