Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack

Dual-Bay FAST Charger for GMRS/FRS

2-Way Radios. This charger works with

these RadioShack GMRS/FRS radios:

21-1902, 21-1903, 21-1904, and 21-1905.

Your dual-bay fast charger enables you to

charge a pair of GMRS/FRS radios

simultaneously. Rechargeable AA/AAA,

Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries are fully charged in

about 2 hours (50–120 minutes).

FEATURES

Charging indicators — the LED indicates

the charging status.

• Blinking Green: Charging

• Green: Fully Charged

• Red: Stand-by

Automatic cut off — when batteries are

fully charged, the charger stops

automatically. A safety timer provides extra

protection against overcharging.

Over current protection — constant

current charge in all charging stages.

Auto current selection — automatically

changes the charging current according to

the capacity of the batteries resulting in

quick and efficient charging.

OPERATION

1. Insert the supplied adapter into the

12.8V power jack on the back of the

charger. Then, plug the other end of the

adapter into a standard AC outlet.

2. Select one pair of the supplied adapters

that corresponds with the FRS radio

that you want to charge (21-1902/1903/

1904/1905). Insert the adapter into the

charging bay first, then insert the

corresponding FRS radio into the

charging bay. The green LED blinks to

indicate that the batteries are charging.

You can use this charger to charge Ni-

Cd and Ni-MH batteries of different

capacities. The charging time depends

on battery capacity. After the batteries

are fully charged, the LED stops

blinking and lights a steady green. The

following chart lists estimated charge

times.

CARE

Keep the charger dry; if it gets wet, wipe it

dry immediately. Use and store the charger

only in normal temperature environments.

Handle the charger carefully; do not drop it.

Keep the charger away from dust and dirt,

and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to

keep it looking new.

NOTES

• Fully discharge Ni-Cd batteries before

charging. Repeated partial discharging and

recharging may shorten battery life. This

does not apply to Ni-MH batteries.

• It is normal for batteries to become warm

while charging.

• If the LED changes to RED after several

seconds, the radio may not be inserted

firmly.

• For batteries with a capacity of less than

600mA, the charging time may be less than

50 minutes and the batteries can be warmer

(than batteries with a capacity greater than

600mA) during charging.

• Use only the supplied adapter. Use of other

adapters may damage your charger.

• If dead batteries, non-rechargeable

batteries, or batteries installed in the wrong

direction are detected, the LED changes to

red and stops charging. When charging two

radios, if one of the radios is turned on, both

radios enter the slow charging mode and

may not be fully charged after hours of

charging. For the fastest charge, turn both

radios off.

• Never attempt to charge any batteries other

than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

• Only charge batteries of the same type and

capacity. Do not mix new and old batteries or

batteries of different types or capacities.

• Charge batteries in a location that is

between 50°F and 86°F (10°C and 30°C). If

the location is too cold, the batteries cannot

be fully charged. If the location is too warm,

the batteries may be damaged permanently

and lose their ability to charge.
