REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the 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 new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. You can order
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
14 hours.
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and begin
charging the new battery pack within 3
minutes.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment, and refasten the
retainer strap.
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.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
Important: This product contains a re-
chargeable nickel cadmium battery. At
the end of the battery pack’s useful life,
it must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or state
hazardous waste management authori-
ties for information on recycling or dis-
posal programs in your area. Some
options that might be available are: mu-
nicipal curb-side collection, drop-off box-
es at retailers such as your local
RadioShack store, recycling collection
centers, and mail-back programs.
