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 4.2 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1 hour in analog) or approximately 250 hours of continuous digital
standby time (15 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.

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 25

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 slide the battery up until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these
easy steps:

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers

or messages.

2. Press the battery release latch and slide the battery down.

Charging the Battery

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 the 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.

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

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 26

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 holder specifically
designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage
your phone and invalidate your warranty.

To use the desktop holder provided with your phone:

1. Plug the adapter in the wall and set the phone in the cradle.

䊳 A red light on the holder lets you know the battery is charging.
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 holder is not plugged
in correctly. Please check the holder and the battery.

It takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.

Connecting the Desktop Holder

Your package includes a desktop holder for charging the battery and
synchronizing the PCS Phone with a desktop or laptop computer. If you
do not plan to synchronize the PCS Phone with a desktop computer, the
desktop holder can be used as a battery charger only when the travel
adapter is plugged into the desktop holder to supply the power needed to
charge the battery. Once the desktop holder is connected to the travel
adapter, the battery charger is fully functional. The desktop holder was
designed especially for the i500. No other devices can be used.

Understanding Roaming

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:

䊳 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and

dropped calls.

䊳 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.

䊳 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 51

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.

䊳 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)

that exist with conventional analog services today.

䊳 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.

also requires you to take additional steps before placing or answering a
roaming call. These additional steps are not required when you make or
receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are

roaming with Call Guard enabled.

Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events

䊳 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.

䊳 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.

䊳 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.

䊳 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.

䊳 If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event

(e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon.
