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 pack does not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a 3.6 volt, 600
mAh battery pack with a connector that
fits the socket in the battery compart-
ment, such as Cat. No. 23-193. You
can order a replacement 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. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
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. Lift the battery pack from the com-
partment and gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it
from the socket.
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.
