REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in "Connecting and Charging the Battery
Pack" on Page 9, the battery pack should last about one year.  If the
battery does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace the battery with a new 3.6 volt, 600 milliamp battery with
a connector that fits the connector in the battery compartment.  You can
order a replacement battery pack through your local Radio Shack store.

Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge the battery
for about 14 hours (see "Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack" on
Page 9).

1.  Loosen 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.  Gently pull on the battery connector to disconnect it, then remove the
    battery.

3.  Insert the new battery pack's plastic connector into its socket and
    place the battery pack into the compartment.

4.  Replace the cover and tighten the screw.

    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.

    Notes:

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

    To avoid losing phone numbers stored in memory, try to install and
    begin charging the new battery within 3 minutes.

    Important:

    This product contains a rechargeable nickel cadmium battery.  At the
    end of the battery'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:
    municpal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as
    your local Radio Shack store, recycling collection centers, and
    mail-back programs.
