REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-
ing the Battery Pack” on Page 7, the
supplied battery pack should last for
several years. When the battery pack
loses its ability to fully charge, replace
the battery pack with a new 3.6 volt,
300 mAh battery pack with a connec-
tor that fits the connector pins in the
battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store.
Follow these steps to install the new
battery pack, then charge it for at least
15 hours (see “Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 7).
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover and unfasten the plastic
strap that secures the battery
pack.
2. Disconnect the old battery pack’s
plug from the pins and remove the
battery pack.
3. Insert the new battery pack in the
compartment and fasten the plas-
tic strap. Then connect the battery
pack’s plug to the pins inside the
compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment
cover.
Important:
Your telephone contains a
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste
management authorities for informa-
tion on recycling or disposal programs
in your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curb-side
collection, drop off boxes at retailers
such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection 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
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
complaint with the FCC.
