Notes On Recharging - Radio Shack 43-143 Owner's Manual

The Basics
Notes on Recharging
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, LOW BATTERY
flashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you
recharge the battery pack.
• If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge
the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light
the display.)
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping
the handset off the charger until LOW BATTERY flashes on
the display. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset
about once a month.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period,
disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack's
usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. If the
battery pack does not hold a charge for more than two hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 750
mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery pack through your local
RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack and charge it for
about 15 - 20 hours.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the battery pack is properly
connected before charging. The CHARGE indicator
lights when the handset is on the charger.
WARNING:
• Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and
properly.
• Do not burn or bury it. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
• Danger! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by
an incorrect type.
