CARE AND MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the Battery

Pack”, the battery pack should last approximately 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 milliampere battery with a

connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment.

Install the new battery pack, then charge the battery pack for about 15

hours.

Note: To avoid losing information stored in memory, try to install and be-

gin charging the new battery pack within 2-3 minutes.

Cautions:

■ You must use a replacement battery pack of the same size and

type, with the proper connector.

■ Be careful not to short the battery pack by touching it with

conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The

battery pack or conductor might overheat and burn.

■ Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire because it might

explode.

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

program in your area.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of dam-

age from surges in telephone line and power line current. This lightning

protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. However, lightning strik-

ing the telephone or power lines can damage your telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that

has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone dur-

ing storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
