REPLACING THE BATTERY
PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting
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 bat-
tery 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, then charge it
for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compart-
ment, then gently pull on the battery
connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s connector
into the socket in the compartment,
place the battery pack into the compart-
ment, and replace the cover.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it.
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 conductor might over-
heat 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 re-
chargeable batteries. At the
end of a nickel-cadmium bat-
tery’s useful life, it must be re-
cycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county, or state
hazardous waste management authorities
for information on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area or call 1-800-822-8837.
Some options that might be available are:
municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes
at retailers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs.
