REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 10, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat-
tery pack does not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
600 mAH battery pack with a connec-
tor that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a re-
placement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
14 hours.
Note:
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and be-
gin charging the new battery pack with-
in 3 minutes.
1. Slide off the cover in the direction
of the arrow.
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on
the battery connector to discon-
nect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack
into the compartment, and refas-
ten the retainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
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 battery
pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector’s
pins with conducting materials,
such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery pack or conduc-
tor might overheat and burn.
If you have trouble replacing the bat-
tery pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
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.
