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 overnight charge, replace it
with a new 3.6V, 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 (or online
at RadioShack.com). Install the new battery pack
and charge it for about 24 hours.

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

Dispose of the old battery

Ô NOTE Ô
If you are not sure of
your dialing system,
make a trial call. If the
call connects, leave the
setting as is, otherwise

If your phone system
requires pulse dialing
and you need to send
the standard tones for
certain situations during
a call, you may “switch-

(refer to “Tone Dialing
Switch-over” on page
13).
