REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 9, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery does not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours after
an overnight charge, replace the battery
with a new 3.6 volt, 600 milliamp battery
with a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described
below, then charge the battery pack for
about 15 hours (see “Connecting and
Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 9).
Note
: To avoid losing information stored
in memory, try to install and begin charg-
ing the new battery pack within 2–3 min-
utes.
1. Press down and slide off the cover.
2. Gently pull on the battery pack con-
nector to disconnect it, then remove
the battery pack.
3. Plug the new battery pack’s connec-
tor into the socket and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type, with
the proper connector.
• 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
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important:
This phone
can use nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries.
At the end of a nickel-
cadmium battery's useful
life, it must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area or call 1-800-843-7422. Some op-
tions that might be available are: munici-
pal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at
retailers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
