The Basics
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 base until LOW BATTERY ashes on the display.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset
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 2 hours after
an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh
battery pack with a connector that ts 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 15 - 20 hours.
WARNING:
Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and
properly.
Do not burn or bury it. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Danger! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by
an incorrect type.
