REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Install-
ing and Charging the Battery,” the bat-
tery should last about one year. If the
battery will not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt,
300 milliamp battery with a connector
that fits the connector in the battery
compartment. You can order a re-
placement battery through your local
Radio Shack store.
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Installing and Charging the Battery”).
1. Slide off the handset’s battery
compartment cover in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect the plug, then
remove the battery.
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and
connect its plug to the pins inside
the battery compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the bat-
tery.
• Be careful not to short the battery
by touching it with conducting
materials, such as rings, brace-
lets, and keys. The battery or con-
ductor might overheat and burn.
Notes:
• If you have trouble replacing the
battery, take the phone to your
local Radio Shack store for assis-
tance.
• To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and
begin charging the new battery
within 3 minutes.
• This product contains a recharge-
able nickel cadmium battery. At
the end of the battery’s useful life,
it must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste
management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal
programs in your area. Some
options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collec-
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers,
recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
