REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 10, the battery pack should last
about a year. If the battery pack will not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours af-
ter an overnight charge, replace it with a
new 3.6 V, 600 mAh battery pack with a
connector that fits the socket in the bat-
tery compartment. You can order a re-
placement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Follow these steps to install the new bat-
tery pack, then charge the battery pack
for about 14 hours before you use it.
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory on the handset, try to
install and begin charging the new bat-
tery pack within 1 minute after removing
the old one.
1. Slide open the battery compartment
cover and lift the battery pack out of
the compartment.
2. Gently pull on the battery connector
to disconnect it, then remove the
battery pack.
3. Insert the fresh battery pack inside
the compartment, plug its connector
into the socket inside the battery
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 it with conducting
materials, such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery pack or con-
ductor 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.
