REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 12, 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 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 it for about
12 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment, 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, route the battery pack’s
leads into the strain relief slot and
and place the battery pack into the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
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 conductor might
overheat and burn.
• If you have trouble replacing the
battery pack, take the phone to your
local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
Important:
This tele-
phone can use nickel
cadmium rechargeable
batteries. At the end of a
nickel cadmium battery's
useful life, it must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area or call 1-800-843-
7422. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curbside collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
