Battery and Charger

WARNI NG:

Sprint-approved or Motorola batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through Motorola; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also available at

www.sprint.com

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.

Your phone warns you with a audible alert when the battery reaches 15% and 5% of its capacity. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone plays another alert and then turns off.

Use only Sprint-approved or Motorola batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or Motorola 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.

2A. Phone Basics 11

Phone Basics

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip:

Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

䊳

See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2.

Removing the Battery

Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.

Remove the back cover by pulling up from the notch at the bottom, and then remove the battery from the phone.

WARNI NG:

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

Charging the Battery

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 any information you were just working on.

12 2A. Phone Basics

Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

䊳

Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.

With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
