Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion
(Li-Ion) battery. The standard battery provides up to 3.3 hours
of continuous digital talk time and the extended battery

blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.

your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your
battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically

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-approved battery charger, travel charger,

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (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 , . Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings (

).

3. Select Others ().

4. Select TTY Mode ().

A message is displayed when you enable TTY that says

Note:

“Enabling TTY may impair headset use and non-TTY accessory
performance” press OK to continue.

5. Press the navigation key up or down to select TTY off

TTY+ Hear, TTY + Talk, or TTY Full and press .

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

Note:

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY
devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:

911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications
Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line
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.
