Preparation
2. To connect the new battery pack, line up the slots on the
battery pack with the posts on the keypad, then press down
and slide it forward until the latch clicks.
3. Charge the battery pack for 12 hours before using it.
Cautions:
• Be careful not to short the battery pack by touching it with
conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire because it might
explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
Note: If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the
phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
