REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Handset Battery
Pack” on Page 12, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the battery
pack does not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a 3.6 volt, 600 mAh battery
pack with a connector that fits the socket
in the battery compartment. You can or-
der a replacement through your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as follows,
then charge the battery for about 15
hours.
Note
: To avoid losing information stored
in memory, try to install and begin charg-
ing the new battery pack within 1 minute.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Remove the battery pack then gen-
tly pull on the battery pack connec-
tor to disconnect it.
3. Plug the new battery pack’s connec-
tor into the socket and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type, with
the proper connector.
Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.
Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching it with conducting
materials, such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery pack or con-
ductor might overheat and burn.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important:
This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel cadmium battery pack.
At the end of the battery pack’s useful
life, it must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management au-
thorities for information on recycling or
disposal programs in your area. Some
options that might be available are: mu-
nicipal curb-side collection, drop-off box-
es at retailers such as your local
RadioShack store, recycling collection
centers, and mail-back programs.
