1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover.

2.Lift the battery pack out of the compart- ment.

3.Plug the bat- tery pack's con-

nector into the socket in the compartment,

(the connector fits only one

way), replace the battery pack, and replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, place the hand- set either faceup or facedown on the base. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base lights and Total:00 appears.

Note: Be sure the battery is properly con- nected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator flashes when the handset is on the base with the battery not connected.

Recharge the battery pack when Low Bat- tery flashes.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear a beep when you press TALK. Return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access- protection code.

•If the base loses power for 60 minutes while the handset is away from it or the the handset’s battery pack is completely discharged, the security access-protec- tion code might be lost. To reset the

code, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds.

•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg- ing contacts on the handset and base about once a month.

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec- onds and Low Battery flashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you recharge the battery pack.

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery flashes. Oth- erwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

•If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the display.)

•If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period of time, discon- nect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack's usable life.

The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an over- night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 600 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 and charge it for about 24 hours.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it (see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 6 for additional information on proper battery handling).

If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.
