Selecting a Location
Select a location for the base that is near an accessible AC
standard wall outlet and away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls, ling cabinets, wireless
intercoms, alarms, room monitors, and other cordless
phones.

Installing the Charger
You can power the charger
using the supplied 9V,
210 mA AC adapter.
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
t the charger’s DC IN 9V jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specications could damage the
handset or the adapter.
Connecting/Charging the Battery
The phone comes with a rechargeable nickel metal
hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack. The supplied battery pack
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
www.radioshack.com.

Before using your phone, you must install the battery
pack, and then charge it for about 15-20 hours.
1. Press down and slide the
battery compartment cover off.
2. Plug the battery pack’s
connector into the socket

About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base or charger until LOW
BATTERY stays lit. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its
ability to fully recharge.
If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack’s usable life.
If you have trouble installing the battery pack, take the
handset to your local
