REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 12, the battery pack
should last about a year. If the battery
pack will not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6 V, 300 mAH
battery 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 as de-
scribed below, then charge the battery
pack for 14 hours before you use it.
Note:
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and be-
gin charging the new battery pack
within 1 minute after removing the old
one.
1. Remove the screw from the bat-
tery compartment cover on the
bottom of the handset, then press
down and slide off the cover.
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect it, then remove
the battery pack.
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and
plug its connector into the socket
inside the battery compartment.
4. Replace the cover and secure it
with the screw.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery 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 bat-
tery pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching it with conduct-
ing materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.
Important:
This product contains a re-
chargeable 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 man-
agement authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be
available are: municipal curb-side col-
lection, drop-off boxes at retailers such
as your local RadioShack store, recy-
cling collection centers, and mail-back
programs.
