Battery Installation and Charging
Install the battery as shown below. For best performance, charge the
handset for at least 16 hours before use. When not in use, place the handset
in the telephone base or charger. See page 32 for battery operating times.
1. If the battery compartment cover is on the handset, press the
indentation and slide the cover to remove.
2. Plug the battery securely into the plug inside the handset battery
compartment, matching the color-coded label.
3. Place the battery with the label THIS SIDE UP facing up and the wires
inside the battery compartment.
4. Align the cover flat against the battery
compartment, then slide it towards the center
of the handset until it clicks into place.
5. Charge the handset by placing it in the
telephone base or charger. The CHARGE
light is on when the handset charges.
n Notes:
• When the screen shows LOW BATTERY, the backlight is off.
• If the handset will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove
the battery to prevent possible leakage.
• To purchase replacement batteries, visit your local RadioShack store or
go to www.RadioShack.com.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Placing rechargeable batteries in the trash can be harmful to the
environment. Instead, recycle old rechargeable batteries at your
local RadioShack store free of charge. RadioShack participates
in the RBRC© battery recycling program, and is committed to
preserving the environment and conserving natural resources.

your telephone on a wall, use the provided wall bracket to connect with a
standard dual-stud telephone wall mounting plate. If you do not have this
mounting plate, you can purchase one from your local RadioShack store or
www.RadioShack.com. You may need professional assistance to install the
mounting plate.
