it flat against the back of
the phone with the tab facing up and toward the top
of the phone. Then slide

IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS
• You must fully charge a new battery at least 24
hours before you firs t use it. See “Charging the
Battery” on Page 10.
• Use only the supplied charger and use only
batteries recommended for this phone.
• A new battery’s full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
• When you are not using the charger, disconnect it from power. Do not leave the charger
connected for more than a week, since overcharging coul d shorten the battery’s life.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery discharges itself in about a week.
8
17-110 1.fm Page 9 Wednesday, Ju ly 21, 1999 9: 57 AM
• When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool and dark place.
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not try to open the case.
• You can purchase additional standard or extended capacity batteries through your local
RadioShack store.
• A battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it eventually wears out.
When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is
time to get a new battery.
• Leaving the batt ery in a hot or cold place, such
as in a closed car in the summer or winter, reduces the battery’s capacity and life. Always
try to keep the battery between 59° and 77°F
(15° and 25°C). A phone with a battery that is
too hot or too cold might not work, even when
the battery is ful ly charged, until the battery returns to a normal temperature. Nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) batteries are particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F (–10°C).
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
9
17-110 1.fm Page 10 Wednesday, J uly 21, 1999 9: 57 AM
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental
short circuiting can occur when a metal object
(coin, paper clip, pen, or similar) directly connects the battery’s + and – terminals (the metal strips on the back of the battery), such as
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket
or purse. Short circuiting the terminals might
damage the battery or the object connected to
it.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries must be recycled
NiCd
NiMH
or disposed of properly. They must
not be disposed of in municipal
waste.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Once you install the battery on the phone, follow
these steps to charge the battery using the supplied charger .
1. Insert the charger’s
barrel plug into the
jack on the bottom of
the phone.
2. Connect the charger’s AC plug to a standard
AC outlet. The phone beeps and its battery
charge bar appears and begins to scroll.
10
17-110 1.fm Page 11 Wednesday, J uly 21, 1999 9: 57 AM
Notes:
• You can use your phone during charging,
but charging takes longer.
• For the fastest charging, be sure the phone
is turned off, if you are not expecting a call.
• If the battery is too hot or cold, charging
stops until the battery temperature returns
to normal.
3. The battery charge bar stops scrolling when
the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the
charger from the AC outlet first, then disconnect it from the phone.
Using the supplied battery (fully charged), you
have about 1 hour, 40 minutes of talk time or 21
hours of standby ti m e.
When to Re ch arge the Battery
Your phone displays the battery charge bar whenever the phone is on to keep you informed about
the battery’s power level. The higher the bar, the
more power left in the battery.
11
17-110 1.fm Page 12 Wednesday, J uly 21, 1999 9: 57 AM
You can recharge the battery (as described in
“Charging the Battery” on Page 10) at any time.
However, when your phone gives you these lowbattery i ndications, r echarge the battery as soon as
possible:
• When only a few minutes of talk time remain,
the phone sounds a warning tone and displays
BATTERY LOW
• When the battery charge level is too low for
the phone to operate, the phone displays

DISCHARGING BATTERIES
Rechargeable batteries last longer and perform
better if occasionally allowed to fully discharge.
You can do this by leaving the phone on until the
phone automatically turns off or you can use the
battery discharge feature of any approved accessory available for your phone.
Do not try to discharge the battery by any other
means.

city and in each city where you plan to travel.
• It is possible for a cellular service provider to
be (or have agreements with) Provider A in
some cities and Provider B in others.
HOME TYPE (A or B) — Use this setting if you are
roaming and your home cit y cellular service provider is the same provider type as in the city you have
travelled to (for example, if the company is Provider A in both cities).
NON-HOME TYPE (A or B) — Use this setting if
you are roaming and your home city cellular service provider is the opposite provider type from the
city you have travelled to (for example, the company is Provi der A in your home city a nd Provider B in
the other city).
HOME AREA — Use this setting if yo u do not want
to roam (you can only use the phone within the
area covered by your home cellular service provider).
BOTH SYSTEMS — Use this setting if you want
the phone to use
either
Provider A or Provider B.
The phone uses its home type system when possible and the non-home type system when service is
not available on its home type system.

In some areas, the cellular system’s computer automatically recognizes roaming telephones. In other areas, you must contact the service provider
before it can recognize your phone. The operator
needs to know your telephone number, your
phone’s ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and how
you plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an
additional charge for roaming calls.

SID SCREENING
If two different cellular market areas are located
close to one another, a call designated for t he A (or
B) carrier in one market can sometimes be placed
using the A (or B) carrier located in the other market area. This can result in unwanted roaming and
higher charges.
At the time of activat ion, a code i s programmed i nto
your phone that uniquely identifies your cellular
carrier. To prevent unwanted roaming, your
phone’s System IDentity (SID) screening feature
lets you set your phone to look for your designated
carrier’s code signal each time you place a call, so
the calls you place use
Notes:
• If SID screening is set to ON and the phone
cannot locate your designated carrier’s code
signal, only emergency calls to the emergency
number programmed into your phone can go
through. Other calls will not go through, and
the phone will not roam. appears

SAFETY INFORMATION
TRAFFIC SAFETY
• Do not use a handheld phone while driving a
vehicle. If using a handheld phone, park the
vehicle before taking or making a call.
• Always secure the phone in its holder; do not
place the phone on the passenger seat or
where it c an bre ak loose i n a collis ion or s udden stop.
• Never use a phone alert device that operates
your vehicle’s lights or horn. This is illegal in
most areas.
Remember, always put road safety first!
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
• Remember to follow all special regulations and
always turn off your phone whenever you are
required to do so, or when it might c ause interference or be dangerous.
• Any radio transmitting equipment, including
cellular phones, might interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment might also be subject to i nterference.
• As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, for your safety, only use your phone in
the normal operating position (held to your ear
with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

You might not be able to make emergency calls on
all cellular phone networks or when ce rt ain network
