REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Handset Battery
Pack” on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the battery
pack does not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a 3.6 volt, 600 mAh battery
pack with a connector that fits the socket
in the battery compartment. You can or-
der a replacement through your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as follows,
then charge the battery for about 15
hours.
Note: To avoid losing information stored
in memory, try to install and begin charg-
ing the new battery pack within 25 sec-
onds.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2. Remove the battery pack then gen-
tly pull on the battery pack connec-
tor to disconnect it.
3. Plug the new battery pack’s connec-
tor into the socket and place the bat-
tery pack into the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type, with
the proper connector.
• 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.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important: This tele-
phone can use nickel
cadmium rechargeable
batteries. At the end of a
nickel cadmium battery's
useful life, it must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area or call 1-800-843-
7422. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curbside collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
