Care
Modifying or tampering with the tele-
phone’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty and void your FCC authoriza-
tion to operate it. If your telephone is not
performing as it should, take it to your lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance. If
the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company can ask you
to disconnect your telephone until you
have resolved the problem.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 13, 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 600 mAh battery pack with a connec-
tor that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replacement
battery pack through your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours (see “Connecting and Charg-
ing the Battery Pack” on Page 13).
Note:
To avoid losing memory numbers,
install and begin charging the new bat-
tery pack within 2 minutes.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Cautions:
You must use a replacement battery
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 battery.
Be careful not to short the battery by
touching the connector’s pins with
conducting materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.
Important:
This tele-
phone can use nickel-
cadmium rechargeable
batteries. At the end of a
nickel-cadmium battery’s
useful life, it must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area or call 1-800-843-
7422. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curbside collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
