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
24 hours.
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 as shown.
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 refasten the
retainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
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.
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.
