REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-
ing the Battery,” the supplied battery
should last for several years. When the
battery loses its ability to fully charge,
order a replacement battery through
your local RadioShack store. Follow
these steps to replace the battery, then
charge the new battery according to
the instructions in “Charging the Bat-
tery.”
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover and loosen the plastic strap
securing the battery. Then discon-
nect the old battery’s plug from
the pins and remove the battery.
2. Insert the new battery in the com-
partment and secure it with the
plastic strap. Then connect the
battery’s plug to the pins inside
the compartment.
3. 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 you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of
your phone service.
