Battery and Charger
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved
Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through
Kyocera; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They are also
available at
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with two Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
batteries. It allows you to recharge your battery before it
is fully drained.
When the battery level drops to 15%, a pop-up window
warns you that the battery is low. When the battery level
drops to 0%, the device shuts down.
batteries and chargers with your device. The
failure to use a Sprint-approved or Kyoceraapproved battery and charger may increase the
risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.
www.sprint.com.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
䊳 See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the device is off so that you do not lose
any stored numbers or messages.
2. Firmly press your thumbs against the battery cover
and push upward to remove it.
3. Grasp the white pull-tab extending from the battery
pack and pull the battery out of its compartment.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.

Charging the Internal Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off, and you will lose any
information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved
battery charger, desktop charger, travel charger, or
vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
1. Plug the smaller end of the
micro-USB cable into the device’s
charger/accessory jack.
2. Plug the other end of the USB
cable into the wall/USB
charger, and then plug the
wall/USB charger into an electrical outlet.
䡲 A solid red indicator light means the battery is
charging.
䡲 A flashing red indicator light means the battery is low.
䡲 A solid green indicator light means the battery is
fully charged.
䡲 A flashing green indicator light means you have
new pending notifications.
WARNING: Do not remove the battery while it is charging.
14 2A. Device Basics
Always remove the charger from the electrical
outlet first before removing the micro-USB cable
from the device.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down. With the use of the included battery charger, you
can charge a spare battery without its having to be
inserted in the device. See “Using the External Battery
Charger” below.
Using the External Battery Charger
Your device comes with a spare battery and external
battery charger. You can use your device with one
battery while the other one charges, assuring you will
have access to your device where you need it and
when you need it.
To install a battery in the external charger:
1. Holding the charger with the printed logo right side
up, slide the cover to the right until it locks into
open position.
2. Insert the battery contacts end first, making sure
they align with the charger’s contact points.
3. Slide the cover to the left until you hear a click.
To charge the battery in the external charger:
Wall/USB charger
Charge lamp
(red)
Slide switch
DC IN 5V DC OUT 5V
Micro-USB jack
Charger
1. Slide the switch on the charger to the DC IN 5V
position.
2. Plug the smaller end of the micro-USB cable into
the micro-USB jack on the charger.
3. Plug the other end of the micro-USB cable into the
wall/USB charger, and then plug the wall/USB
charger into an electrical outlet.
䡲 The red lamp light is on while the battery is charging.
䡲 The red lamp light goes off when the battery is fully
charged.
Note: If the charge lamp starts flashing red, you may have a
high battery temperature, battery problem, wall/USB
charger problem, or battery charger problem.
To use the battery charger as an external battery:
1. Slide the switch on the charger to the DC OUT 5V
position. (The charge lamp turns green.)
Note: If the green charge lamp does not light up, the installed
battery is not sufficiently charged. Make sure your
battery is fully charged prior to use.
2. Plug the smaller end of the micro-USB cable into
the device’s charger/accessory jack and the other
end into the USB jack on the charger.
䡲 The green lamp on the charger remains on while
charging the battery. (The green lamp will not go off
until the external battery completely discharges.)
䡲 The LED indicator on the device will light red
while charging and it will change to green when
fully charged.

When you have finished charging, slide the switch
on the charger to the
DC IN 5V position to conserve
energy.
Note: After use, make sure you slide the switch to the
DC IN 5V position to prevent battery drain.
It will take much longer to charge the device using the
battery charger than with the AC charger. If you need
the use of your device right away, replace the original
battery with a fully charged battery when your primary
battery becomes discharged.
Tip: You can also charge your battery by plugging the USB
cable into your computer. Simply plug the smaller end of
the micro-USB cable into the micro-USB jack on the
charger and plug the other end into a free USB port on
your desktop or laptop computer. Charging through USB
will take twice the time as the wall charger. Charging from
a computer will take about twice as long as the electrical
outlet.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, backlight levels, Bluetooth, and
GPS use all contribute to draining your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery’s charge:
16 2A. Device Basics
䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 51.
䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 99.
䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On
and Off” on page 122.
䢇 Turn GPS off when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains
your battery. See “Location Settings” on page 53.
䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeated complete
discharging and recharging can reduce the storage
capacity of any battery over time.
䢇 Turn off Automatic application sync. See
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 53.
䢇 Add a Power Control Widget to your Home screen to
deactivate features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
and synchronization and to reduce the screen’s
brightness setting.
䢇 Check running services and close any unnecessary
applications. See “To view and control currently
running services:” on page 62.
Opening and Closing the Device
Your device features dual touchscreens and allows you
to work on two displays at the same time. The lower
display is located beneath the upper display and is
accessed by sliding it open. With both screens open,
you can extend one application across two screens
(Tablet mode) or use them as separate displays in
Simul-Task or Optimized mode. See “Your Device’s
Screen Modes” on page 26 for details.
To open the device:
䊳 Using both hands, slowly slide the upper display in
the direction of the arrow until it locks in tilt position.
Note: When opening the device, make sure you are sliding in
the correct direction.
To make a flat display screen:
1. As you slide the device open, slide the upper
(right) display right until it lies flat.
2. Close the gap between the two displays by
pushing inward until you hear a click.
Device Basics
To close the device:
1. Grasp the right edge of the upper (right) display
and pull it slightly to the right to release the lock.
2. Slide the upper (right) display back to its original
position as shown in the second figure below.
2A. Device Basics 17
Navigating Through the Onscreen Menus
There are different ways to navigate around the
device’s Home screen, menus, and application screens
by using your finger. Here are some tips to move
around your device’s menus and screens:
Using the Touchscreen
Tap
Tap once with your finger to select or
launch a menu, option, or application.
A light tap works best.
Tap and Hold
To open the available options for an
item (for example, a link in a Web
page), simply tap and hold the item.
18 2A. Device Basics
Drag
Tap and hold your finger before you
start to move it. Do not release your
finger until you have reached the
target position.
Slide or Flick
To slide, quickly move your finger
vertically or horizontally across the
screen. To flick, move your finger in
lighter, quicker strokes than sliding.
This finger gesture is always used in a
vertical motion, such as when scrolling
through contacts or a message list.
