OPERATION
TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4.
The radio’s battery port will accept RIDGID 12 V, 14.4 V and
18 V NiCd battery packs and 18 V and 24 V Li-ion battery
packs. The 18 V Li-ion battery pack is shown.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use the 9.6 V RIDGID slide-mount
battery pack with the job-site radio, as it will not power the
unit.
Place the battery pack in the radio, aligning the raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove in the radio’s battery
port.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured to the
radio before beginning operation.
Depress the latches on both sides to release the battery
pack from the radio.
NOTE:
Leaving the battery pack connected for long
periods of time will drain the battery pack. Always
disconnect battery packs after use.
12 V DC 1-AMP RECEPTACLE
See Figure 5.
The 12 V DC receptacle can be used as a power source
for powering small, low current (less than 1 [one] Amp DC)
devices such as cell phone chargers, CD players, etc.
CAUTION:
Do not connect any devices that require more than
1 (one) Amp to operate. Doing so will trip a self-
resetting function and disable the receptacle.
CAUTION:
Output wiring of the receptacle is center positive.
Make sure the device you wish to connect has a
compatible connector as shown in figure 5.
NOTE: When charging small electronics through the 12 V
receptacle, be sure the battery pack inserted in the radio
is greater than 12 V, or plug the radio into a power supply
using the A/C cord.
WARNING:
Always keep the 12 V DC receptacle covered with
the receptacle cover when not in use. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious injury.
