REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 10, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack will
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace the
battery pack with a new 3.6 V, 300 mAh
battery pack with a connector that fits the
socket in the battery pack compartment.
You can order a replacement battery
pack through your local RadioShack
store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge the battery.
(See “Connecting and Charging the Bat-
tery Pack” on Page 10).
Note:
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and begin
charging the new battery pack within 1
minute.
1. Press down and slide off the hand-
set’s battery pack compartment
cover downward.
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery pack connector to discon-
nect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment, and refasten the
retainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.
Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching it with conducting
materials, such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery pack or con-
ductor might overheat and burn.
If you have trouble replacing the battery,
take the phone to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
Important:
This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery’s useful
life, it must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management au-
thorities for information on recycling or
disposal programs in your area. Some
options that might be available are: mu-
nicipal curb-side collection, drop-off box-
es at retailers such as your local
RadioShack store, recycling collection
centers, and mail-back programs.
