Charging the Battery
Your Sprint 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 PCS-approved Desktop Charger, Travel 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 Desktop Charger
When you are ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only
Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Chargers and AC Adapter Chargers. To use
the Desktop Charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger holder and the
other end into the electrical outlet.
2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.
䊳
Ared light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.
䊳
A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent
charged.
It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is okay to
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Getting to Know

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint 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 150 minutes of continuous digital talk time
(70 minutes in analog) or approximately 150 hours of continuous digital
standby time (10 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds
an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode 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.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to
install it:
1. Place the battery in the opening at a 45-degree angle with the metal
contacts at the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down on the battery until the latch snaps into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging, or for any other reason, follow these
easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or
messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up.
3. Remove the battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual band Sprint PCS Phone
TM
works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to
roam on analog and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where
compatible wireless service is available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.

Roaming
䊳
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today.
䊳
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter
an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call
is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel
warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By
using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your
phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control
your roaming experience:
1. From the main menu, highlight Roaming and press .
2. Highlight Set Mode and press .
3. To select an option, highlight it and press .
䊳
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS Nationwide
Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
䊳
Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternative system.
䊳
Analog Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming
system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint PCS
Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while
on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling
features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality
provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features,
such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make
and receive calls. You will experience a few differences:
䊳
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.

Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network,
such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct international

Call Directory Assistance: If you don’t have a computer or Internet
access handy, you can have Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up
phone numbers for you and automatically add them to your address
book. Just say, “Call operator,” and we’ll add two names and numbers
to your address book for our standard directory assistance charge.
䊳
Use Voice Recordings: Simply dial and say, “Add name.”
You will then be asked to say the name and number you want to add to
your personal address book. Your address book can store up to 20
names at once.
How It Works
1.
Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice Command and created your
address book, all you do is press . You’ll hear a tone followed
by the prompt “Ready.”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a natural voice, the name of
the person or the number you’d like to call. For example, you can say,
“Call Jane at work,” “Call John on the mobile phone,” “Call 555-1234”
or “Look up Bob.”
3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind that Sprint PCS
Voice Command recognizes not only your voice, but any voice, so that
others can experience the same convenience if they use your phone.
