Battery Pack

Your new Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery pack that is partially charged so you can use it
immediately after you activate,without any hassle. If you have the time, however,you should charge the battery as

soon as possible,to get the most out of it.

Installing your battery pack.

To install your battery,just follow these simple steps:

1. Hold the battery with the label facing down.

2. Lay it on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about a quarter of an inch from
the latch.(The connectors at the base of the battery should line up with the connectors on
the base of the phone.???I didn't know what to call those little metal things in the battery and
on the phone???)

3. Gently slide the battery until it clicks into place.

Turning your phone on and off

When you're ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on,check to see that the charged battery pack has been
installed in the back of the phone or that you have an external power source
(the cigarette lighter adapter or the hands-free car kit). Then, simply press END/(1) until the red light at the top
of the phone is lit. Now you're ready to make a call.

Turning off the phone is just as simple. Press END/(1) for a few seconds.The display will by blank when the
power is off.

.

Taking your battery pack out.

1. First,turn the power off to avoid losing stored numbers and messages.

2. Press the battery release latch on the back of the phone while sliding the battery out.

Charging your battery pack.

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged just by checking the???corner of your phone's
display,where the battery charge indicator is located. When the battery charge level is low,the battery icon will???
and the phone will sound a tone.

If you continue to use your phone without recharged and the battery level becomes too low,it will turn off
automatically. If this happens, unfortunately you'll lose whatever you were just doing. So,watch the indicator and
make sure your level is okay.

To charge your battery, you should use the Sprint PCS desktop charger, travel charger of cigarette lighter adapter

???What does the phone do if the charge is low???

???Is an y of this true for the Samsung phone???

from Samsung.(The desktop charger is described in the next section.
For more information on the travel charger and cigarette lighter adapter,see the product user guide for each.)

Using the desktop charger.

First of all,a few words of wisdom of warning:You should only use the Samsung-approved desktop charger and
AC adapter with this Sprint PCS Phone.Using the wrong one could cause damage.

1. Plug one end of the AC adapter into the charger and the other end into a wall outlet.

2. Insert either the battery pack alone or the phone with the battery pack installed into the slot.

A ???light??? on the charger will let you know the battery is being charged. A ???light???tells you when the
battery is at least 90 percent charged.

If your battery's charge is completely run down,it will take about ??? hours to fully recharge it.
With the Samsung-approved???name of battery type (like lithium ion was for Sony)
battery pack you don't have to completely discharge the battery before discharging it. If you leave your phone
turned on while's in the charger,your battery will take longer to charge.
