REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat-
tery does not hold a charge (when the
phone is not in use) for more than 2
hours after an overnight charge, re-
place the battery with a new 3.6 volt,
600 milliamp battery with a connector
that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replace-
ment battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge the battery
for about 14 hours (see “Connecting
and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 9).
Note:
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and be-
gin charging the new battery within 3
minutes.
1. Loosen the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bottom
of the handset, and slide off the
cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Lift the battery out of the compart-
ment, then gently pull on the bat-
tery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s plas-
tic connector into the socket in the
compartment and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the bat-
tery.
• Be careful not to short the battery
by touching the connector’s pins
with conducting materials, such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor might over-
heat and burn.
If you have trouble replacing the bat-
tery, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important:
This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery. At
the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling col-
lection centers, and mail-back pro-
grams.
