REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con- necting and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 12, the battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack will not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6 V, 300 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 the battery pack for 14 hours before you use it.
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers stored in memory, try to install and be- gin charging the new battery pack within 1 minute after removing the old one.
