REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 10, 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 new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh bat- tery 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 as described be- low, then charge it for about 24 hours (see “Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 10).

Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, in- stall and begin charging the new battery pack within 2 minute.

1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover.

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

3.Insert the new battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment, place the battery pack into the compart- ment.

4.Replace the cover.

If you have trouble replacing the battery, take the answering system to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.

Cautions:

You must use a replacement battery 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 battery.

Be careful not to short the battery by touching the connector’s pins with con- ducting materials, such as rings, brace- lets, and keys. The battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.

Important: This product can

use nickel-cadmium re- chargeable batteries. At the end of a nickel-cadmium

battery’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of

properly. Contact your lo-

cal, county, or state hazardous waste man- agement authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area or call 1-800-843-7422. Some options that might be available are: municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling col- lection centers, and mail-back programs.
