Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

WARN IN G

Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved 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.

Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at

www.sp rin t.c om

– click the Wireless link under Personal, and then click Accessories under Shop the Sprint PCS Store Online.

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 190 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.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,

Note:

and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and

Tip:

charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Phone Basics

Page 34

Installing the Battery

To install the Li-Ion battery:

Remove the phone’s back cover.

Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone and gently press down until it is in place.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s Li-Ion 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. A flashing red indicator light means that the battery is low (for indicator light location, see page 11). 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- or manufacturer-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Page 35

Using the Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

䊳

Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet. A flashing green indicator light means the battery is charging.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by 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 Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing

711N

the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

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.

⽧

Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new C290 by Motorola®

works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 59

Page 74

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam –.

Remember, when you are using your phone off the

Tip:

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Unless your Sprint PCS service plan includes roaming, you will

Note:

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Note:

Network and enter an area where roaming is available, 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

60 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Page 75

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

䢇

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇

Some features that are standard on the enhanced Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

䢇

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 62)

䢇

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

䢇

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.

When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may

Note:

feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61

Page 76

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you will 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:

Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

62 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Page 77

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roam ing menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

Pressr > Settings > Roamin g > Set Mode.

To select an option, highlight it and pressr.

䡲

Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

䡲

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)
