REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in "Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack" on Page 9, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat-
tery pack will not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6 V,
300 mAh battery pack with a connector
that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replace-
ment battery pack through your local
RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as de-
scribed here, then charge the battery
pack (see "Connecting and Charging
the Battery Pack" on Page 9).
Note: To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, try to install and be-
gin charging the new battery pack
within about 2 minutes.
1. Press down and slide off the
handset's battery compartment
cover as shown.
2. Gently pull out the battery connec-
tor to disconnect it, then remove
the battery pack.
3. Insert a fresh battery pack and
insert its connector into the socket
inside the battery compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery 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 bat-
tery pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching it with conduct-
ing materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.
