Charging the Power Pack THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THEFACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OFTHE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.The radio charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

1. Insert the plug of the power adaptor into the radio charger as shown in Figure 1. Insure

that the charger plug is correctly aligned with the radio socket before pushing to fulldepth.

2. Plug the power adaptor into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. NOTE: Do

not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC.

3. Slide the power pack into the front of the unit as shown in Figure 2. Make sure the power

pack is fully seated in the port and let the pack charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6hours.

4. The red charger light on the radio face (Figure 3) will light indicating that the charging

process has started. Important Charging Notes1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If thepack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged. Yourpower pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting touse it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.

2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or above

105°F (+40,5 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the power pack.Longest life and best performance can be obtained if power packs are charged whenair temperature is about 75°F.3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.4. If the power pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to alight switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5 °C) or above 105°F (+40,5 °C). (4) Check to see that the red charging indicator light is lit on the face of the unit. (5) If the receptacle,surrounding temperature and charging indicator light are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or send the power pac and radio charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobswhich were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using pack in a depleted condition.6. The power pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times duringnormal usage. There is no need to run the pack down completely before recharging.Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging.7. The exposed charging contacts of the radio charger can be accidentally shorted byforeign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steelwool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from radiocharger cavities. Unplug radio charger before attempting to clean it.Maintenance StageThe trickle charge feature of the radio charger allows the power pack to remain in thecharger and ready for use. With the power adaptor connected to standard householdcurrent, the red charging indicator light will glow constantly. The radio charger will keep thepower pack fully charged. A power pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of thecharger. Using the Radio (Figure 4) With the power adaptor connected to standard household current or a fully charged powerpack inserted into the charging port of the radio charger:1. Turn the On/Off Volume Control knob (I) clockwise to turn the radio on. 2. Turn the AM/FM Selector knob (J) to select an AM or FM station. Extend the antenna if theradio is tuned to an FM station. If reception is poor, fully extend antenna and rotate in alldirections until reception improves. For AM stations try rotating the radio.3. Turn the Station Selector knob (K) to change station frequency.Important Radio Notes1. The radio will run up to 12 hours on a single charge using an 18 volt power pack.(BDRC18) NOTE: The radio charger is an 18 volt only product (BDRC18) and will not accept power packs of different voltages.2. Reception will vary depending on location and strength of radio signal.3. AM reception will most likely be clearer when powered by a battery.Carrying the Radio ChargerFigure 5 illustrates the recommended way to carry the radio charger.Wall MountingThe radio charger can be hung on a vertical surface using the key hole mounting slots (C)shown in Figure 6. Mounting hardware should be installed 6 inches (152.4mm) apart. CAUTION: Mount radio charger to a surface that will safely hold the weight of radio charger, drill and both batteries. Avoid mounting or storing your radio charger in the following areas:• Areas that children can reach.• High traffic areas.• Humid or moist areas.• Areas subject to constant vibration.• Areas not well ventilated or dusty.• Areas exposed to direct sunlight or near appliances that generate heat.Accessory StoragePull out storage trays (H) are located on the bottom front portion of the radio charger. Thesecompartments are convenient for storing small items such as drill and screwdriver bits.Service NotesThis product is not user serviceable. There are no user serviceable parts inside theradio/charger. Servicing at an authorized service center is required to avoid damage to staticsensitive internal components.To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance andadjustment should be performed by certified service centers or other qualifiedservice organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
