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. The battery provides up to 5.8 hours of continuous digital talk time.

At 20% of charge capacity, the battery icon is displayed ( ). At 3% of charge capacity, there are only a few minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert, blinks, and displays a critical charge icon ( ), and then turns off.

Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power

WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved

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

Installing the Battery

䊳 See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2.

Removing the Battery

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose

any stored numbers or messages.

2. Press the battery cover and slide it towards the

camera lens and slide the cover off.

3. Carefully remove the battery from the phone.

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.

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

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.

WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion

battery as you can be burned.

charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet. The phone turns on with the screen locked and indicates both its charge state and percent of charge.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and other functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

䢇 Reduce your Backlight on time. See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 40.

䢇 Reduce the screen Brightness. See “Adjusting the

Screen's Brightness” on page 41.

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 104.

䢇 Disconnect from Web services that are not in use

(Facebook

, MySpace®, Twitter®, etc.) See “3C.

Entertainment” on page 150.

Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge, can over time reduced the storage capacity of any battery.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. 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.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings >

General > TTY. (An informational message will be

displayed.)

2. Touch OK.

3. Touch TTY OFF to turn TTY mode off.

– or – Touch any of the following to enable the feature:

● TTY Full, TTY + Hear, or TTY + Talk.

WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline 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 software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)

You can use your phone’s built-in automatic speech recognition (ASR) software to dial a phone number in your Contacts or to launch phone functions. All you have to do is to talk into the phone, and ASR will recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.

Command.

– or – Press and hold .

The screen displays and says “Say a command.” The phone prompts you to say the name of the command you want to use. To complete your task, simply follow the voice prompts.

Available ASR commands include:

䢇 Call <Name or#> to call an entry in your Contacts

list or a spoken phone number. (See “Making a Voice Call With Speech to Action” on page 82.)

䢇 Send Text <Name or #> to launch text messaging

on your phone and specify a recipient for a new message. (See “Sending a Message” on page 84.)

find the most likely matches and display a list of up to three names or numbers. You will hear “Did you say…” followed by the name or number. You can confirm by saying “

Yes .” Say “No” to change the selection.
