REPLACING THE

BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connect- ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 11, the battery pack should last about one year. If the battery pack will not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6V, 600 mAh battery pack that has a connector which 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 here, then charge the battery pack for 24 hours.

Note: To avoid losing phone numbers stored in memory, try to install and begin charging the new battery pack within about 2 minutes.

1.Press down and slide off the hand- set’s battery compartment cover.

2.Gently pull out the battery connector to disconnect it, then remove the battery pack.

3.Insert a fresh battery pack and plug its connector with the flat side up into the socket inside the battery compartment. The connector fits only one way.

4.Replace the cover.

Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it.

Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Swallowing battery parts can be fatal.
