REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 13, the battery pack
should last about 1 year. If the battery
does not hold a charge for more than 2
hours after an overnight charge, re-
place the battery pack with a 3.6 volt,
300 milliamp battery pack with a con-
nector that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a re-
placement through your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as follows,
then charge the battery for about 14
hours (see “Connecting and Charging
the Battery Pack” on Page 13).
Caution:
Use only a fresh battery of
the required size and type.
Notes:
If you have trouble replacing the
battery pack, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, install and
begin charging the new battery
pack within 3 minutes.
