TELEPHONE PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK

To install the supplied rechargeable battery pack, place it on the battery compartment tracks, then slide it up (to- ward the antenna) until it locks in place.

Note: You must charge a new battery pack at least 24 hours before you use it the first time. See “Charging the Hand- set Battery Pack” on Page 14.

When the handset’s battery pack no longer recharges, replace the battery pack. You can order a replacement bat- tery pack from your local Radio Shack store.

To remove the battery pack, press the tab on the back of the handset, slide the battery pack down (away from the an- tenna) until it stops, then lift it up to re- move it.

Note: The phone uses a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the end of the battery pack’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of proper- ly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authori- ties for information on recycling or dis- posal programs in your area. Some options that might be available are: mu- nicipal curbside collection, drop-off box- es at retailers, recycling collection centers, and mailback programs.
