Recharging the Battery Pack
If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call,
Low Battery flashes.
When this happens, you cannot make a
call until you recharge the battery
pack.
!
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.)
About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
charger until
Low Battery flashes on
the display. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging
contacts on the handset and charger
about once a month.
If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period, disconnect the
battery pack. This increases the battery
pack’s usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last
for about a year. If the battery pack
does not hold a charge for more than
two hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh
battery pack with a connector that fits
the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery
pack through RadioShack. Install the
new battery pack and charge it for
about 15–20 hours.

IMPORTANT
!
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before
you try to charge it. The
CHARGE indicator lights
when the handset is on the
charger, even if the battery
pack is not connected.

WARNING
o
Dispose of the old battery
pack promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury it.
There is a risk of explosion
if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to
the instructions.
