PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

To install the battery, place the tabs on the bottom of the battery into the slots on the back of the phone (near the bottom). Then move the top of the battery towar d the phone until it locks into place.

To remove the battery, first be sure the phone is turned off. Then gently push down on the battery’s lat ch and lift the battery away from the phone.

IMPORTANT BATTERY TIPS

• You must fully charge a new battery for at least 24 hours before you first use it. See “Charging the Battery” on Page 13.

• Use only the supplied charger and use only batteries recommended for this phone.

• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not try to open t he case.

17-110 5.fm Page 11 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

• A new battery’s full performance is achieved

only after two or three complete charge and dis charge cycles.

• When you are not using the charge r, di sconnect

it from power. Do not leave a battery charging on the charger for more than a week, since overcharging could shorten the battery’s life.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery discharg-

es itself in about a week.

• When a battery is not in use, store it uncharged

in a cool and dark place.

• You can purchase additional standard or ex-

tended capacity batteries through your local RadioShack store.

• A battery can be charged and discharged hun-

dreds of times, but it eventually wears out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shor ter than norma l, it is time to get a new battery.

• Occasionally, allow the battery pack to fully dis-

charge. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge. See “Discharging Batteries” on Page 15.

• Leaving the battery 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

17-110 5.fm Page 12 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

to keep the battery between 41° and 95°F (5° and 35°C). A phone wit h a batter y that is too hot or too cold might not work, even when the battery is fully charged, until the battery returns to a normal temperature. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are particularly limited in temperatures bel ow 14° F (–10°C).

• Use the battery only for its inten ded purpose.

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.

• 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!

NiCd NiMH

Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. They must not be disposed of in municipal waste.

17-110 5.fm Page 13 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Once you install the battery on the phone, follow these steps to charge or recharge the battery using the supplied charger.

1. Insert the charger’s barrel plug into the jack on the back of the supplied stand, then set the phone on the stand with the phone’s keypad facing out.

Or, to charge the phone without the stand (so you can use the phone while it is charging, for example), 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 battery charge indicator bar appears and begins to scro ll .

Notes:

• For the fastest charging, be sure the phone

is turned off during charging.

17-110 5.fm Page 14 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

• If you use the phone while it is charging, charging takes longer.

• If the battery is too hot or cold, charging stops until the battery temperature returns to normal.

• With a new or comp let ely discharged battery, the phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that chargi ng is i n progress.

3. The battery indicator bar stops scrolling when the battery is fully charged. Remove the phone from the charging stand or disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and the phone.

Using the supplied battery (fully charged), you have about 2 hours of talk time or 30 hours of standby time.

When to Recharge th e B attery

Your phone displays th e 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.

You can recharge the battery (as described in “Charging the Battery” on Page 13) at any time. However, when your phone gi ves you these l ow bat-

17-110 5.fm Page 15 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

tery indications, recharge 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

at regular intervals.

• When the battery charge level is too low for the

phone to operate, the phone displays

and sounds a warning

RE-

tone. The phone automatically turns off about 10 seconds later.

Note: The phone does

not

sound low battery warning tones if silent service or vibrate is selected (see “Ringing Option s” on Page52).

DISCHARGING BATTERIES

Rechargeable batteries last longer and perform better if occasionally allowed to fully discharge. Your phone reminds you to discharge the battery with a series of battery advice messages, such as

and

17-110 5.fm Page 16 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

To fully discharge the battery, wait at least 30 minutes after the phone turns off before you connect it to the charger.

ACCESSORIES

A new, extensive range of accessories is available for your phone t hrough your loc al RadioShack store. You can select the accessories that best meet your needs.

Important:

phone manufacturer. Using any other type invalidates any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and might be dangerous.

Here are a few practical rules for accessory operation:

• Keep the accessor ies out of the reach of chil-

dren.

• When you disconnect any accessory’s power

cord, pull the plug, not the cord.

• Regularly check all cellular phone equipment in

your vehicle to be sure it is mounted and operating properly.

• Have only qualified personnel install complex

car accessories.

Use only accessories approved by the

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 can break loose in a collision or sudden 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 regul ations and

always turn off your phone whenever you are required to do so, or when it might cause interference or be dangerous .

• Any radio trans mitting equipment, i ncluding cel-

lular phones, might interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufactur er of the medical device if you have any questions. Other electronic equipment might also be subjec t to interference .

17-110 5.fm Page 78 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

• 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).

• Turn off the phone while getting gasoline (at a filling station). Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or around blasting operations.

• Do not store or carry f lammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as a cellular phone or any of its parts or accessories.

• Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service might be dangerous and could invalidate the phone’s warranty.

• Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-lock braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, and other electronic systems can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

• Turn off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular phones in an aircraft might

17-110 5.fm Page 79 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupts the cellular networks, and is illegal.

Failure to observe these instructions could lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services, legal action, or both.

EMERGENCY CALLS

IMPORTANT!

operates using radio signals, cellular, and land line networks, as well as user-programmed functions. These factors make it impossible to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential communications (such as medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be turned on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

You might not be able to make emergency calls on all cellular phone networks or when certain network services or phone features are set. Check with your local service providers.

This phone, like any cellular phone,

This device complies with Parts 15 and 68 of

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the power does not come on or stay on:

• Make sure the battery is properly installed and

charged.

• Be sure the contacts on the battery and the

charging stand are clean. If they are not, clean them with a soft cloth or penc il eraser.

• The battery charge might be too low for opera-

tion. Check the display and listen for the low battery warning tone.

If the power comes on, but the phone does not work:

• Make sure the antenna is properly install ed and

extended to its fu ll length.

• Check to see if there is an error message on

the display after tu rning it on. If so, contact your local RadioShack store for assist ance.

If the phone displays

• You are out of the cellular service area and you

cannot make calls.

• You have chosen Home Only (see “Setting the

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack CT-600 Lightweight Flip-Style 75Memory Cellular Phone is an example of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. These sugg estions allow you to enjoy this phone for many year s.

• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of children.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids might contai n minerals that corrode electronic circuits.

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving par ts can be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up (to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which could damage the phone’s electronic circuits .

• Do not attempt to open the phone. Non-expert handling of the phone can damage it.

• Do not drop, knock, or sha ke the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

17-110 5.fm Page 83 Wednesday, July 21, 1999 11:06 AM

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,

or strong deter gents to clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap and water solution.

Modifying or tampering with your phone’s internal components could violate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to use it. If the phone or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
