䊳 To turn your phone on, press O for approximately three
seconds.
While your phone is powering on, you will hear the startup tone
and see the Sprint logo on your External or Main display (depending
on whether the flip is open or closed). When your phone finds a

At this point, you are ready to make and receive calls.
If your phone is off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,

more information about Roaming, please see Section 2D,
“Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard” on page 72.
If necessary, enter your four-digit lock code and press K.
Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either
your Social Security number or PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of
these work, call PCS Customer Solutions at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
Turning Your Phone Off

a Power Save feature is automatically activated. In Power Save mode,
your phone searches for a signal every 3 minutes. You can also
initiate a search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your
phone is turned on). When a signal is found, your phone
automatically returns to standby mode.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
15 Section 2A: Your PCS Phone: The Basics
Your Phone’s Battery
Your phone is designed to use only Motorola original batteries and
accessories. We recommend that you store batteries in their
protective cases when not in use.
Battery Capacity
Your PCS Phone has a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) rechargeable battery.
Recharge the battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides
approximately 240 minutes of continuous talk time (210 minutes in
CDMA 2000 and 85 minutes in analog) or approximately 190 hours
of continuous standby time (310 hours in CDMA 2000 and 15 hours
in analog).
Note:
Tip:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode affect
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before
it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
Before you can use your phone, install and charge the battery:
1. Remove the battery from its protective case.
2. If the phone’s battery door is already in
place, push the door release latch down
and remove cover.
3. Insert the battery, printed arrow first, into
the battery compartment and push down.
4. Insert the ridge at the bottom of the
battery door into the base of the phone,
then push the door down and snap it into
place.
Section 2A: Your PCS Phone: The Basics16
Charging the Battery
Your 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 working on. For a quick check
of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator
in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the
battery charge is getting low, the battery icon () blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Motorola-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 Travel Charger
1. Plug the travel charger into your
phone with the release tab facing up.
2. Plug the other end of the travel
charger into the appropriate electrical
outlet.
3. When your phone indicates Charge Complete, press the release
tab and remove the travel charger.
Note:
When you charge the battery, the battery power level indicator in the
upper right corner of the display shows how much of the charging
process is complete.
It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely
discharged battery. We recommend that you recharge the battery
before it becomes completely discharged.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
17 Section 2A: Your PCS Phone: The Basics
Battery Use
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact
or short-circuit the battery terminals. To maximize your battery’s
performance:
䢇 Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and battery chargers.
The phone warranty does not cover damage caused from using
non-Motorola batteries and/or battery chargers.
䢇 New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
may require a longer charge time.
䢇 Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when
charging.
䢇 Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or
above 45 °C (113 °F). Always take your phone with you when
you leave your vehicle.
䢇 When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it
uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
䢇 Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times.
This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and notice a
decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time, then it is
probably time to purchase a new battery.
䢇 The more you talk on the phone or use phone features (like
sending text messages), the less standby time your battery has.
The rechargeable batteries that power this phone
must be disposed of properly and may need to be
recycled. Refer to your battery’s label for battery
type. Contact your local recycling center for proper
disposal methods.
Caution:
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
Section 2A: Your PCS Phone: The Basics18

personalize its appearance. Matching front and back cover sets are
