REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in "Con-
necting and Charging the Battery
Pack" on Page 12, the battery pack
should last about one year. If the bat-
tery does not hold a charge for more
than 2 hours after an overnight charge,
replace the battery pack with a 3.6 volt,
300 mA battery pack with a connector
that fits the socket in the battery com-
partment. You can order a replace-
ment through your local RadioShack
store.
Install the new battery pack as follows,
then charge the battery for about 18
hours (see "Connecting and Charging
the Battery Pack" on Page 12).
Notes:
• If you have trouble replacing the
battery pack, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
• To avoid losing phone numbers
stored in memory, install and be-
gin charging the new battery pack
within 3 minutes.
1. Remove the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bottom
of the handset, and slide off the
cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Gently pull on the battery connec-
tor to disconnect it from the
socket, then remove the battery.
3. Plug the new battery pack's plas-
tic connector into the socket and
place the battery pack into the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement bat-
tery pack of the same size and
type.
• Do not burn or bury a battery
pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching it with conduct-
ing materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
or conductor might overheat and
burn.
