REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charg- ing the Battery,’’ the supplied battery should last for over 1 year. When the battery loses its ability to fully charge, order a 3.6 volt, 300 milliamp battery with a connector that fits the connector in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery through your local Radio Shack store.
Install the new battery as described below, then charge the battery (see “Charging the Battery’’).
1.Slide off the battery compartment cover and loosen the plastic strap securing the battery. Then discon- nect and remove the old battery.
2.Insert the new battery in the com- partment and secure it with the plastic strap.
3.Slide the battery’s connector onto the pins inside the compartment.
Caution: The connector only fits one way; do not force it. If you have difficulty sliding the connec- tor onto the pins, turn it over and try again.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this hap- pens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance no- tice is not practical, the phone compa- ny notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a com- plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of the phone. The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so that you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup- tion of your phone service.
