Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

War nin 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.sprint.com – click the Wireless link under

“Personal,” and then click Accessories under “Shop the Sprint PCS Store Online.”
