Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Using the Battery

Turning Your Phone ON

■ Press for approximately two seconds to turn your phone On.

Once your phone is ON, it displays “Searching for Service” or “Entering
PCS Service” which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Standby mode –
the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and
receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found,
your phone automatically returns to Standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for PCS Service
by pressing any key (when your phone is turned ON).

Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when

you are in an area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone OFF

■ Press for two seconds until you see the powering down

animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is
charging).

Battery Capacity

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 [xx] hours of continuous digital talk time
([xx] hours in analog) or approximately [xx] hours of continuous
digital standby time ([xx] hours in analog).

When the battery reaches [xx]% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone
sounds an audible alert 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 watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install
it:

1. Place the battery so that the tabs on the end align with the slots at the

bottom of the phone.

2. Press the battery down until it clicks into place. Make sure that the

battery is properly installed before switching the phone on.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:

1. So that no stored messages or numbers are lost, power off your phone

by pressing and holding .

2. Pull the battery lock above the battery toward the top of the phone

and hold it in that position.

3. Lift the battery away, as shown.

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
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off. For a quick check
of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator
located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the
battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.

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

Using the Desktop Charger

To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger holder and the

other end into the electrical outlet.

2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.

• A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.

• A green light indicates that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.

• A yellow light indicates that there is a problem charging the phone.

It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown
battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.

If a Travel Charger is used to charge the battery, multi-colored lights are
displayed when the flip is closed. Red, Green, and blue lights are cycled
during the charging process. When the battery is completely charged, all
lights are displayed continuously.

Using the Travel Adapter

The travel adapter allows you to use the phone while the battery is
charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.

1. With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the

travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of
hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by
telephone.

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

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Solutions
first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means

landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
