REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect- ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 13, the battery pack should last about one year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a 600 mAh battery pack with a connec- tor that fits the socket in the battery com- partment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local Ra- dioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de- scribed below, then charge it for about 24 hours (see “Connecting and Charg- ing the Battery Pack” on Page 13).
Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, install and begin charging the new bat- tery pack within 2 minutes.
1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover.
2.Lift the battery pack out of the com- partment, then gently pull on the battery connector to disconnect it.
3.Insert the new battery pack’s con- nector into the socket in the com- partment, place the battery pack into the compartment.
4.Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.
