Using the Battery

Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows
you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery
provides approximately 2.5 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1 hour in analog) or approximately 216 hours of continuous digital
standby time (15 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds
an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip : Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to
install it:
1. Place the battery on the back of the phone, making sure that the
plastic tabs are aligned with the corresponding holes in the phone.
2. Gently push the battery down until it snaps into place.
Removing the Battery

easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers
or messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up and pull the battery away from the

Charging the Battery
Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge
the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level

warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel adapter or vehicle
power adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.

specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories
could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.
To use the travel adapter provided with your phone:
1. Plug the adapter in the wall and the other end into the power
interface adapter on the bottom of the phone.

battery is charging.
