WARNING:

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Charging the Battery

Your phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery upon opening the package. Being aware of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically shuts off and you may lose information. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located on the top display screen.

There is also an internal backup battery that saves all the settings in the phone when the regular battery is discharged. An internal backup battery needs to be charged initially for 24 hours. To make sure the internal battery is charged, do not disconnect the main battery from the phone for 24 hours.

Note: A battery indicator also exists on the LCD screen. Both

indicators are a correct measurement of battery power.

If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone. The phone may power down to conserve battery power to maintain the phone’s data.

Note: Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger,

travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Desktop Charger

To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet.

2. Remove the serial connector rubber plug from the bottom

of your phone.

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

䊳 A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is

䊳 A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90

percent charged.

䊳 A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a

temperature that is too high or low, or that the charger is not plugged in correctly. Please check the charger and the battery.

It generally takes about three hours to fully recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved Lilon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Note:

If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data.
