Changing the Battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use only the Thomson Inc.

with this unit.
1. Make sure handset is
OFF (not in TALK mode) before you replace battery.
2. Remove the battery compartment door.
3. Disconnect the battery plug from the jack inside the battery compartment and
remove the battery pack from the handset.
4. Insert the new battery pack and connect the cord to the jack inside the battery

new battery pack. If you do not properly charge the phone, battery performance
will be compromised.
