REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 7, 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 new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
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 de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the cover.
2. Unfasten the battery retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, 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, and fasten
the battery 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 the connector’s
pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor 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 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.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
