Installation
• If the battery pack becomes completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it, place
the handset on the base for about 5 sec-
onds to reset the security access protec-
tion code. If the handset loses power,
leave it on the base to charge the bat-
tery pack.
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period, disconnect its
battery pack. This helps increase the
battery pack’s life.
The supplied battery pack should last about
a year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after 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, place the handset on
the base, and charge the battery for 12 hours
before using it.
Note: To avoid losing numbers stored in
memory, you must install and begin charging
the new battery pack within 2 minutes of re-
moving the old one.
Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it.
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 assistance.
