REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 11, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack will
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6V, 600 mAh battery pack that
has a connector which 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 here, then charge the battery
pack for 24 hours.
Note:
To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and begin
charging the new battery pack within
about 2 minutes.
1. Press down and slide off the hand-
set’s battery compartment cover.
2. Gently pull out the battery connector
to disconnect it, then remove the
battery pack.
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and plug
its connector with the flat side up
into the socket inside the battery
compartment. The connector fits
only one way.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• Use only a replacement battery
pack of the required type (3.6V, 600
mAh rechargeable battery pack).
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack with conducting materials,
such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery pack or conductor might
overheat and burn.
Important:
This phone’s
battery pack uses 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.
Warnings:
• Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn
or bury it.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack. Swallowing battery parts can
be fatal.
