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

To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 24
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
phone at a 45 degree angle.

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 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.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 25
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.
It is vital that you use only the PCS-approved desktop charger specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.
To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the adapter in the wall and set the phone in the cradle.
A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent
charged.
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. When the cradle is plugged into a wall outlet, the battery charger is fully functional.
Note: Before you connect the i330 to the desktop/laptop computer, make
sure you install the i330 software drivers from the installation CD.

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Indicator
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

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 Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.
Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 45
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you should periodically check your voicemail box for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.
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.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network and enter 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 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.
This behavior is normal for analog operation.

quickly view or sort the entries.
Define the contacts to include in the Speed Dial and Voice Dial list.

Creating an Address Book Entry

An Address Book entry is the name, address, and phone information you are keeping for a person or business. You can create these entries on your phone, or you can use the Palm Desktop software to create entries on your computer.

The pauses are entered into the Address Book entry and the number is dialed just like any other.
There are two different types of pauses. They are:
Hard Pause (P) - When the number is called, the phone pauses and
waits at the hard pause. You must tap “Talk” when the next set of programmed numbers is to be dialed. To enter a “P” for a hard pause, tap and select Hard Pause.
Timed Pause (T) - When the number is called, the phone pauses for
two seconds before the next series of numbers are dialed. You can add as many “T” pauses as necessary to get the correct length of pause. To enter a “T” for a timed pause, tap and select Timed Pause.

Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events

If you change the start date of a repeating event, your phone
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your phone then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating
event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your phone creates a new repeating event.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2H: Personal Organizer 85
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g.,
from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your phone adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm,
private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your phone creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed.
If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event
(e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon.
