REPLACING THE

BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connect- ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 8, 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 3.6V, 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 as de- scribed below, then charge it for about

24hours.

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

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 and place the battery pack into the compartment.

4.Replace the cover.

Cautions:

•You must use a replacement battery pack of the same size and type.

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

•Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.

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

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

Important: This product contains a re- chargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the end of the battery pack’s useful life, it must be recycled or dis- posed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste man- agement authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be avail- able are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling collec- tion centers, and mail-back programs.
