Installing the Charger

Insert the supplied AC
adapter’s barrel plug into
DC IN 9V jack on the
the
bottom of the charger. Route
the cord through the strain relief slot and plug the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 210 mA. Its
center tip must be set to positive and its plug must

does not meet these specications could damage the
handset or the adapter.

The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel metal

should last for about a year. If the battery pack does not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight
charge, replace it with a new 3.6 volt, 750 mAh battery
pack with a connector that ts the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store or online at
