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 is getting too
low, the battery icon () blinks and the phone sounds a
warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved AC adapter 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 AC Adapter Charger
To use the AC adapter charger provided with your phone:
Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
1.
Insert the round end of the adapter into the AC adapter

TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or
hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate via a telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please
check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that
it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.
When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Service SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

calls on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may
not be able to access certain features.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS
