Important Information Regarding
the Local Serial Connection
For the i330 to properly HotSync with another computer, it must be setup
to connect using the Local Serial option in the HotSync configuration
settings. If this option is not selected, the i330 will not connect to the
other computer. The cable that connects the two devices was designed to
connect to a USB connector, thus allowing easier installation. It does not
however use a USB connection to HotSync the two devices together. The
devices still use a Local Serial connection to transfer and receive data. To
properly configure this option, see "Perform a HotSync the First Time" on
page 150.

Using the Battery
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 2.5 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1 hour in analog) or approximately 96 hours of continuous digital
standby time (14 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

phone at a 45 degree angle.
Charging the Battery
Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge

becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you’ll lose
everything you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s
battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon () blinks and t he phone sounds a
warning tone.
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: The internal battery will maintain data for 15 hours.

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 takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.
Connecting the Cradle
Your package includes a cradle for charging the battery and
synchronizing the Sprint PCS Phone™ with a desktop or laptop
computer. If you do not plan to synchronize the Sprint PCS Phone™
with a desktop computer, the cradle can be used as a battery charger only.
