REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in "Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack" on
Page 9, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 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 as de-
scribed below, then charge it for about
24 hours (see "Connecting and Charg-
ing the Battery Pack" on Page 9).
Note: To avoid losing memory numbers,
install and begin charging the new bat-
tery pack within 1 minute.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack's con-
nector into the socket in the com-
partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery,
take the TAD to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
• Be careful not to short the battery by
touching the connector's pins with
conducting materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery
pack or conductor might overheat
and burn.
Important: This product contains a re-
chargeable
nickel-cadmium
pack. At the end of the battery pack's
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
