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-mAH battery with
a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery through your lo-
cal RadioShack store.
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery”).
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the
screw on the battery compartment
cover on the back of the handset,
then press down on the cover and
slide it off.
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect it, then remove
the battery.
3. Plug the battery wire connector
into the socket inside the compart-
ment, and place the battery inside
the compartment.
Note: The connector fits only one
way. Do not force it.
4. Align the screw hole on the bat-
tery compartment cover with the
screw hole inside the battery com-
partment.
5. Tighten the screw about halfway.
Then press down and slide the
cover up to lock it in place.
6. Fully tighten the screw to ensure
the best water seal.
