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 (the connector fits only
one way), route the battery pack's
leads through the strain relief slot,
and place the battery pack into the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• Use a replacement battery of the
required type (3.6V 600 mAh
rechargeable battery), available
through your local RadioShack
store.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it can explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Swallowing the battery can be fatal.
• Be careful not to short the battery
with conducting materials, such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The bat-
tery or conductor might overheat
and burn.
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.
