REPLACING THE

BATTERY

If you follow the instructions in “Charg- ing the Battery,” the supplied battery should last about a year. When the battery loses its ability to fully charge, order a 3.6-volt, 300-mAH battery with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery through your lo- cal RadioShack store.

Install the new battery as described below, then charge the battery (see “Charging the Battery”).

1.Use a screwdriver to remove the screw on the battery compartment cover on the back of the handset, then press down on the cover and slide it off.

Note: The connector fits only one way. Do not force it.

4.Align the screw hole on the bat- tery compartment cover with the screw hole inside the battery com- partment.

5.Tighten the screw about halfway. Then press down and slide the cover up to lock it in place.

2.Gently pull on the battery connec- tor to disconnect it, then remove the battery.

3.Plug the battery wire connector into the socket inside the compart- ment, and place the battery inside the compartment.
