warranty.

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargable 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. To check your phone’s battery level, look at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen . Fewer bars mean less charge. If the battery charge gets too low, the phone sounds a warning tone and displays a message.

Always use the manufacturer-approved Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Desktop Charger or

Adapter Charger

1.Plug one 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.

A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.

A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged. It is safe to remove and use your phone at this point.

It generally takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely run-down battery. With the Lilon (1300mAh) battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
