Using and Charging the Battery

Battery Capaci ty

Your Sprint PCS phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The batte ry provides a pproximately 2.9 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog). Approximately five minutes before the bat tery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), soundi ng an audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue to operate the phone w ithout charging, the phone will turn off automatically (after a three to five minute delay). If this happens, y our call will end.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off

the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS phone works anywhere on the Sprint P CS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog and digita l networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is available. This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roami ng experience .

Understanding How Roaming Works

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in ana log or digital m ode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,

Tip:

always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)

You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note: Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling featur es, such as Spr int PCS Wire less Web.

Roaming on An alog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar qual ity provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, su ch as Spri nt PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls.

You will experience a few differences including:

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.

Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network, such as C all Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter

Tip:

an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
