Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should
charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all
the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your
phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon (
) blinks and the phone sounds a
warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Charger or Vehicle Power Adapter to
charge your battery.
Warning!
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Charger
To use the AC adapter charger provided with your phone:
1.
Plug the AC adapter charger into the electrical outlet.
2.
Insert the round end of the adapter into the port on the left side of the
phone. (Make sure the battery is installed.)
䊳
A beep lets you know the adapter is attached to the phone.
䊳
As the phone charges, the battery icon continually displays a
progression from empty (
) to full (
).
It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is okay to
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides approximately 150 minutes of continuous digital talk time
(70 minutes in analog) or approximately 150 hours of continuous digital
standby time (10 hours in analog).
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 every 30 seconds and then powers down.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
