battery level drops to approximately 1%, 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.
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. Press and hold the back cover
latch with your thumbnail and
slide the cover down with the
other thumb to remove the cover.
3. Lift the battery up and remove it
from the device.
Tip: Hook your fingernail under the tab at the top left side of
the battery to facilitate removal.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
Charging the 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
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
䊳 Plug the flat end of the charger
into the device’s charger/
accessory jack and the other
end into an electrical outlet.

Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, backlight levels, and 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:
䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” and “Changing the Key
Backlight Time Length” on page 38.
䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 77.
䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On
and Off” on page 98.
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 39.
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 40.
16 2A. Device Basics
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. See “Adding an Item” on page 21.
䢇 Check running services and close any unnecessary
applications. See “To view and control currently
running services:” on page 49.

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology
that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free
car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers,
and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication
range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off.
Bluetooth operates in three modes:
䢇 On: Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect
other Bluetooth devices but other devices cannot
detect your device.
䢇 Discoverable: Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can
detect other Bluetooth devices and other devices
can also detect your device for 120 seconds.
䢇 Off: Bluetooth is turned off. Information cannot be
sent or received when Bluetooth is turned off.
Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and
reduce your available usage times. It is recommended
that if you do not need it active, turn it off. It is also
recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within
locations that prohibit its use.
To turn Bluetooth on:
1. Touch > > Settings > Wireless & networks.
2. Touch the Bluetooth field to select the feature. (A
check mark indicates this feature is enabled.)
When active, appears on the status bar.
3. To make your device discoverable, touch

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
Paired Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish
trusted connections between your device and another
>
Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a
passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while
bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch
Discoverable. Your device must be visible to
successfully pair with an external device.
3. Touch Scan for devices. Your device will display a

OK.
5. The device will be paired when it enters the same
passkey.
Note: For car kits, enter “0000” or “1234.” If it does not work,
consult the Bluetooth devices documentation.
Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetoothcompatible devices.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passkey again.
