REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If you follow the instructions in “Charg-
ing the Battery” on Page 8, the sup-
plied battery should last about one
year. When the battery loses its ability
to fully charge, you should replace it
with a new one (available at your local
RadioShack store).
Install the new battery as described
below, then charge the battery (see
“Charging the Battery” on Page 8).
1. While lifting up on the battery
compartment cover’s latch on the
back of the handset, pull the cover
up to remove it.
2. Pull and lift the tab on the battery
restraining strap to remove it.
3. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect it, then remove
the battery.
4. Place the new battery inside the
compartment.
5. Connect the battery’s wires to the
connector in the compartment.
Note: The battery’s connector fits
into the connector inside the com-
partment only one way. Do not
force it.
6. Replace the restraining strap and
the cover.
Caution: Your telephone contains a
rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.
At the end of the battery’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop off boxes at retailers, recycling
collection centers, and mail back pro-
grams.
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. The phone
company normally attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company noti-
fies you as soon as possible and advis-
es you of your right to file a complaint
with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this telephone. The
phone company normally notifies you
of these changes in advance, so you
can take the necessary steps to pre-
vent interruption of your phone service.
