Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or contact your cable provider for more information.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Polymer battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 130 minutes of continuous digital talk time.
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 and then powers down.
Tip
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Note
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
WARNING
Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer­approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Your phone’s battery is rechargeable and should be charged 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 upper­right 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- or manufacturer-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Phone Charger
To use the phone charger provided with your phone:
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
Ared indicator light on the phone lets you know the battery is charging.
A green indicator light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

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 Pivot service, please call your cable provider via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new Muziq
TM
by LG®works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Section 1D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 62
Roaming

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, depending on the available network.
Note
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
Note
Unless your Pivot service plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Tip
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Section 1D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 63
Roaming
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1.
Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
