CT-356 Cellular Phone w/40 Number Memory 
(170-1070)                 Batteries                  Faxback Doc. # 34404


INSTALLING THE BATTERY

1.  Place the battery flat against the back of the phone with the metal
    contacts facing down, toward the bottom of the phone.

2.  Slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into
    place.

To remove the battery:

1.  Turn off the phone.

2.  Press and hold the latch at the top of the battery and slide the
    battery down and off the phone.


CHARGING THE BATTERY

Follow these steps to charge the battery using the supplied charger.

1.  Install the battery on the phone.

2.  Insert the charger's barrel plug into the jack on the back of the
    stand, then set the phone on the stand with the phone's keypad facing
    out.

    Or, to charge the phone without the stand (so you can use the phone
    while it is charging, for example), insert the charger's barrel plug
    into the jack on the bottom of the phone.

3.  Connect the charger's AC plug to a standard AC outlet.

    The battery charge indicator bar appears and begins to scroll.

    NOTES:  For the fastest charging, be sure the phone is turned off
            during charging.

            If you use the phone while it is charging, charging takes
            longer.

            If the battery is too hot or cold, charging stops until
            the battery temperature returns to normal.

4.  The battery indicator bar stops scrolling when the battery is fully
    charged.  Remove the phone from the charging stand or disconnect
    the charger from the AC outlet.

    Using the supplied battery (fully charged), you have about 2 hours
    of talk time and 26 hours of standby time.


BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR

The battery charge indicator, B, shows the battery charge level.  The
higher the bar, the more power is left in the battery.

When only one segment of the bar appears, the battery is almost fully
discharged.


IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS

  You must fully charge a new battery at least 24 hours before you first
  use it.

  Use only the supplied charger and use only batteries recommended
  for this phone.

  A new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
  complete charge and discharge cycles.

  When you are not using the charger, disconnect it from power.  Do not
  leave the battery connected to the charger for more than a week, since
  over-charging could shorten the battery's life.  If left unused, a
  fully charged battery discharges itself in about a week.

  When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool and dark
  place.

  The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.  Do not try to
  open the case.

  You can purchase additional standard or extended capacity batteries
  through your local Radio Shack store.

  A battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
  eventually wears out.  When the operating time (talk time and standby
  time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to get a new
  battery.

  Leaving the battery in a hot or cold place, such as in a closed car in
  the summer or winter, reduces the battery's capacity and life.  Always
  try to keep the battery between 59 degrees and 77 degrees F (15 degrees
  and 25 degrees C).  A phone with a too hot or too cold battery might
  not work, even when the battery is fully charged until the battery
  returns to a normal temperature.  Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries
  are particularly limited in temperature below 14 degrees F (-10 degrees
  C).

  Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

  Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.

  Do not short circuit the battery.  Accidental short circuiting can occur
  when a metal object (coin, paper clip, pen, or similar) directly
  connects the battery's + and - terminals (the metal strips on the back
  of the battery), such as, when you carry a spare battery in your
  pocket or purse.  Short circuiting the terminals might damage the
  battery or the object connected to it.

  Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly.  They must not be disposed of in municipal waste.


DISCHARGING BATTERIES

Rechargeable batteries last longer and preform better if allowed to
fully discharge occasionally.  You can do this by leaving the phone
on until the phone automatically turns off or you can use the battery
discharge feature of any approved accessory available for your phone.

Do not try to discharge the battery by any other means.


RECHARGING BATTERIES

When the battery power is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain,
the phone sounds a warning tone and displays BATTERY LOW at regular
intervals.

When the battery charge level is too low for the phone to operate, the
phone displays RECHARGE BATTERY and sounds a warning tone.  The phone
automatically turns off about 10 seconds later.

NOTE:  If silent service is on, the phone does not sound the warning
       tones.
