1. Press and hold E to turn the phone on.

2. Press (right soft key). (See page 14-17 about soft keys.)

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. For security purposes, the code is not

either your Social Security number or PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If
none of these work, call PCS Customer Service Solutions at 1-888-211­4PCS (4727).

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your PCS Phone are automatically transferred to

greeting, record your name announcement and choose whether to
activate One-Touch Message Access (a feature that lets you press one key to

Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

Your 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 3.5 hours of continuous talk time or
approximately 10 days of continuous standby time.

When there are approximately 5 minutes of talk time left, the blank
battery icon blinks, the warning message appears on your display screen,
and the phone sounds an audible alert.

When the battery is completely drained, the warning message appears
and the phone sounds an audible alert again. Thirty seconds later, the
phone powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, game

use 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.

Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install
it:

1. Push the lock button in direction A to unlock the battery cover. Grasp

Charging the Battery

Your 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
gets too low, the blank battery icon starts blinking, and the phone sounds
a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint-approved travel charger, the optional desktop charger
or the optional vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

Warning!: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

1. Open the External Connection Terminal cover of your phone.

2. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

3. Plug the other end of the travel charger into the bottom of your phone,

with the battery installed.

The battery icon blinks and LED lights red while charging. When
charging is complete, the battery icon lights and LED turns green.

䊳

Charging when your phone is turned off:

LED lights red while charging. When charging is complete, LED turns
green.

With the phone switched off, it generally takes about 150 minutes to fully
recharge a completely run-down battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon
battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.

Note: When charging be sure the battery is in the unit.

Note: When using the travel charger, ensure that metallic straps or

accessories do not come into contact with the travel charger electrical
plug. Fire, electrical shock, injury, malfunction or damage could occur.
