Press and hold for approximately two seconds.
Once your device is on and finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the device’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your device is unable to find a signal after five minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is activated and your device searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. When a signal is found, your device automatically returns to standby mode.
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.
1.Press and hold until you see the
Phone options window.
2.Tap Power off > OK to turn the device off.
To save your battery or prevent accidental touches, your device automatically turns off the display screen and lock the screen after the time specified for the screen timeout. (See “Changing the Backlight Time Length” on page 44 for details.)

WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved 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.
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 www.sprint.com.
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. The battery provides up to x.x hours of continuous digital talk time.
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.
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.
InstallingtheBattery
See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.
RemovingtheBattery
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.Insert a paper clip or similar object into the slot at the bottom of the battery compartment and lift the battery up to remove it.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

Charging theInternalBattery
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 Micro B 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 a wall outlet.
A solid red indicator light means the battery is charging.
A flashing red indicator light means the battery is low.
A solid green indicator light means the battery is fully charged.
WARNING: Donotremovethebatterywhileitischarging.Always removethe chargerfrom the wall outlet first before removing theMicro USBcable from thedevice.
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 having to be inserted in the device. See “Charging the Spare Battery” below.
Charging theSpareBattery
For added convenience, you can charge a spare battery by using the included battery charger. When your primary battery becomes discharged, a spare battery can extend the battery life of your device.
Toinstallthesparebatteryinthebattery charger:
1.Slide the charger cover in the direction of the arrow until it locks in the fully open position.
2.Insert the battery into the charger unit, making sure the connectors align and gently press down to secure the battery.
3.Close the charger cover until you hear a click.

1.Move the slide switch 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 considered empty. Make sure your battery is fully charged prior to use.
2.Plug the Micro B USB cable into the device’s charger/accessory jack and the other end into the USB jack on the charger.
The LED indicator on the device will turn red while the battery is charging, and then change to green once the charge is complete.

Note: After use, make sure you move the slide switch to “DC IN 5V” position to prevent battery drain.
It will take much longer to charge the device using the battery charger as that is the trickle charge function. We recommend to replace the original battery with a fully charged battery when your primary battery becomes discharged.
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:
Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the Backlight Time Length” on page 44.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning Bluetooth On and Off” on page 83.
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On and Off” on page 101.
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 45.
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.
Turn off Automatic application sync. See “Synchronizing Accounts” on page 46.
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.
Check running services and close any unnecessary applications. See “To view and control currently running services:” on page 54.

Tap once with your finger to select or launch a menu, option, or application.
A light tap works best.
Tapandhold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a link in a Web page), simply tap and hold the item.
Simultaneoustouch
Touch the upper and lower screens at the same time. This is used to launch Compatible Dual-screen applications.
Drag
Tap and hold your finger before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
SlideorFlick
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.
