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 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.
Note:
To avoid losing redial memory
and the security code, begin charging
the new battery 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.
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 bat-
tery's useful life, it must
be recycled or disposed
of properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area or call
1-800-843-7422. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
