REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-
ing the Battery,” the supplied battery
should last about a year. When the
battery loses its ability to fully charge,
order a 3.6-volt, 300-milliamp battery
with a connector that fits the connector
in the battery compartment. You can
order a replacement battery through
your local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery”).
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover on the back of the handset
as shown. Loosen the plastic
strap securing the battery.
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect the plug, then
remove the battery.
3. Insert a fresh battery and connect
its plug to the pins inside the bat-
tery compartment. Secure the bat-
tery in place with the plastic strap.
4. Replace the cover.
Important:
Your telephone contains a
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling
collection centers, and mail back pro-
grams.
