Radio Shack ET-1106 - Manual (Page 12)

12 Preparation
• The CHARGING/IN USE indicator still lights even when a
battery pack is not installed in the battery compartment.
Make sure the battery is installed before using the phone.
• To avoid damage to the battery pack, always recharge the
handset before battery power grows too weak for LOW
BATTERY to appear on the display.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period of time, disconnect its battery. This helps to increase
the battery’s usable life.
INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY PACK
Your phone requires a 3.6V rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride
battery pack (not supplied) for backup power when AC power is
off. In case of a power failure, you can make and receive calls
for up to four hours with a fully charged spare battery pack. You
can also use the spare battery pack to replace a drained battery
pack in the handset.
Push down the tab of the battery
compartment cover in the base and
open the cover. Then place the
battery pack in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside. Replace the
cover.
