REPLACING THE

BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Con- necting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack should last about one year. If the bat- tery does not hold a charge (when the phone is not in use) for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, re- place the battery with a new 3.6 volt, 600 milliamp battery with a connector that fits the socket in the battery com- partment. You can order a replace- ment battery pack through your local RadioShack store.

Install the new battery pack as de- scribed below, then charge the battery for about 14 hours (see “Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 9).

Note: To avoid losing phone numbers stored in memory, try to install and be- gin charging the new battery within 3 minutes.

1.Loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the handset, and slide off the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2.Lift the battery out of the compart- ment, then gently pull on the bat- tery connector to disconnect it.

3.Insert the new battery pack’s plas- tic connector into the socket in the compartment and place the bat- tery pack into the compartment.

4.Replace the cover and tighten the screw.

Cautions:

You must use a replacement bat- tery of the same size and type.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire because it might explode.

Do not open or mutilate the bat- tery.

Be careful not to short the battery by touching the connector’s pins with conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor might over- heat and burn.

If you have trouble replacing the bat- tery, take the phone to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.

Important: This product contains a re- chargeable nickel-cadmium battery. At the end of the battery’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of prop- erly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be available are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling col- lection centers, and mail-back pro- grams.
