Care and Maintenance
REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Installing 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 the battery pack with a new 3.6 volt,
270 milliamp battery pack. You can order a replacement battery
pack through your local RadioShack store.
Follow the directions in “Installing and Charging the Battery Pack”
on Page 9 to install and charge the new battery pack.
Cautions:
² You must use a replacement battery pack of the same size and
type.
² Dispose of the battery pack promptly and properly. Do not bury
or burn it.
² Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic parts.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Important: This product contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium
battery pack. At the end of the battery pack’s useful life, it must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-side collection, drop-off
boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling
collection centers, and mail-back programs.
