Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your 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 3 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1.3 hours in analog) or approximately 8 days of continuous digital
standby time (15 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
Follow these steps to install your phone’s LiIon battery:
1. Place the battery in the opening in the back of the phone 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, 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 up.
3. Remove the battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics 19
Charging the Battery
Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable LiIon 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 working on when the phone turned off. 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 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
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 indicates that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, it is okay to
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
