REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-
ing the Battery,’’ the supplied battery
should last for over 1 year. When the
battery loses its ability to fully charge,
order a 3.6 volt, 300 milliamp battery
with a connector that fits the connector
in the battery compartment. You can
order a replacement battery through
your local Radio Shack store.
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery’’).
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover and loosen the plastic strap
securing the battery. Then discon-
nect and remove the old battery.
2. Insert the new battery in the com-
partment and secure it with the
plastic strap.
3. Slide the battery’s connector onto
the pins inside the compartment.
Caution:
The connector only fits
one way; do not force it. If you
have difficulty sliding the connec-
tor onto the pins, turn it over and
try again.
4. Replace the battery compartment
cover.
Important:
Your telephone contains a
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling
collection centers, and mail back pro-
grams.
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this hap-
pens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone compa-
ny notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of the phone. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so that you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your phone service.
