REPLACING THE BATTERY

If you follow the instructions in "Charging the Battery," the battery
should last for several years.  If the battery will not hold a charge for
more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace the battery with a
new nickel-cadmium battery.  You can order a replacement battery through
your local Radio Shack store.

Follow these steps to replace the battery.

1.  Press down and slide off the handset's battery compartment cover.

2.  Pull up the wire restraining latch.  If the latch is difficult to
    grasp, use the edge of the battery compartment cover or another non-
    metallic object to lift it enough to pull it up.

3.  Gently disconnect the battery's connector from the handset, then
    remove the battery from the battery compartment.

4.  Insert a fresh battery into the battery compartment.  Insert the
    battery connector's plug into the jack inside the compartment.

5.  Lift the wire restraining latch up over the battery, then hook it to
    the plastic lip above the battery to secure it.

6.  Replace the cover.

Important:  After you replace the battery, you must charge it for about 24
            hours before you use the phone.

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 it with
           conducting materials, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.  The
           battery or conductor might overheat and burn.

NOTE:  If you have trouble replacing the battery, take the phone to your
       local Radio Shack store for assistance.
