22 Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion
(Li-Ion) battery. The standard battery provides up to 3.3
hours of continuous digital talk time and the extended
battery provides up to 5.0 hours of continuous digital talk
time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, and other factors may affect the battery talk and
standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
