- Check damaged parts before further use. A part that has been damaged should be checked carefully to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Do not use the unit if it does not function properly.
- Before using radio charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) radio charger, (2) power pack, and (3) product using power pack.
- To reduce the risk of injury, charge only 18 volt Black & Decker Power Packs. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture or snow.
- Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or Injury to persons.
- To reduce risk of damage to adaptor plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting from radio charger.
- Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
- An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used for indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

DO NOT incinerate power packs even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
- A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25 - 35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

Battery Cap Information
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
Battery Cap
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coils, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Charging the Power Pack
THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The radio charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
- 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 full depth.
- 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.
- 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 6 hours.
- The red charger light on the radio face (Figure 3) will light indicating that the charging process has started.
Important Charging Notes
- After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully charged. Your power pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
- DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40^ (4.5^) or above 105^(+40.5^) . 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 when air temperature is about 75^ .
- While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
- 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 a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger to a surrounding air temperature of 40^ (4,5^) or above 105^ (+40,5^) . (4) Check to see that the rod 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 pad and radio charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
- The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using pack in a depleted condition.
- The power pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging.
- The exposed charging contacts of the radio charger can be accidentally shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel, wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from radio charger cavities. Unplug radio charger before attempting to clean it.
Maintenance Stage
The tickle charge feature of the radio charger allows the power pack to remain in the charger and ready for use. With the power adaptor connected to standard household current, the red charging indicator light will glow constantly. The radio charger will keep the power pack fully charged. A power pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger.
Using the Radio (Figure 4)
With the power adaptor connected to standard household current or a fully charged power pack inserted into the charging port of the radio charger:
-
Turn the On/Off Volume Control knob (I) clockwise to turn the radio on.
-
Turn the AM/FM Selector knob (J) to select an AM or FM station. Extend the antenna if the radio is tuned to an FM station. If reception is poor, fully extend antenna and rotate in all directions until reception improves. For AM stations try rotating the radio.
-
Turn the Station Selector knob (K) to change station frequency.
Important Radio Notes
-
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 packs of different voltages.
-
Reception will vary depending on location and strength of radio signal.
-
AM reception will most likely be clearer when powered by a battery.
Carrying the Radio Charger
Figure 5 illustrates the recommended way to carry the radio charger
Wall Mounting
The 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 Storage
Pull out storage trays (H) are located on the bottom front portion of the radio charger. These compartments are convenient for storing small items such as drill and screwdriver bits.
Service Notes
This product is not user serviceable. There are no user serviceable parts inside the radio/charger. Servicing at an authorized service center is required to avoid damage to static sensitive internal components.
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by certified service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
