REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 10, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 milliamp battery
pack with a connector that fits the socket
in the battery compartment. You can or-
der a replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours (see “Connecting and Charg-
ing the Battery Pack” on Page 10).
Note:
To avoid losing memory numbers,
install and begin charging the new bat-
tery pack within 1 minute.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect 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 fasten the re-
tainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery,
take the TAD to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
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 battery.
• Be careful not to short the battery by
touching the connector’s pins with
conducting 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 avail-
able are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
