3.Put the battery pack in the compartment.

4.Replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base, facing either up or down. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when the TALK/ BATT indicator on the handset flashes.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when the handset is on the base even if the battery pack is not properly connected.

Notes:

When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear an error signal. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access- protection code.

Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.

If the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to flash the TALK/BATT indicator.)

If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you recharge the battery pack.

About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the TALK/BATT indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

If the battery pack is completely discharged or the base loses power

while the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to reset the security access-protection code. If the handset lost power, recharge the battery pack.

The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6- volt, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 24 hours.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it (see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4 for additional information on proper battery handling).

If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.

Important: The EPA certified RBRC®Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an

industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1- 800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/ restrictions in your area. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of the company’s commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.
