The Basics

•If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the display.)

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until LOW BATTERY flashes on the display.

Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

•Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset about once a month.

•If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life.

•The supplied battery pack should last for 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, 800 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 15 - 20 hours.

WARNING:

•Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly.

•Do not burn or bury it. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

•Danger! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
