standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only beltclips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm.
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The
use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.

standby mode.
In power save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint 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 3.6 hours of
continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately
168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in
analog).
Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level gets
too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you
know by blinking an empty battery icon (), sounding an
audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue
to operate the phone without charging, the phone will turn off
automatically (after a three to five minute delay). If this
happens, your call will end.
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 Sprint PCS phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these
steps to install it:
1.
Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the
battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch from the battery latch.

2.
Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it
snaps into place.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint 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. 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 gets too low, the battery icon
() blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel
charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.
Getting to Know
Your Phone
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for another reason,
follow these easy steps:
1.
Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding so
you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2.
Press the battery release latch and slide the battery away
from the latch.
3.
Lift the battery away from the phone.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Adapter
Plug the connector of the supplied travel adapter into the serial
connector at the bottom of your phone, and then into the AC
wall outlet.
When the travel adapter is plugged in and charging the phone,
the phone displays a charging light and the battery icon starts to
blink. The phone can still be used while it is plugged into the
travel adapter, but this will cause the phone to charge more
slowly. To quickly charge the phone, turn the power off.

Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger
You can purchase the optional dual-slot desktop charger from
the local Sprint PCS Centers.
To use the desktop charger:
1.
Plug the desktop charger’s power cord into a wall outlet.
2.
Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the front
slot of the charger.
Or, insert the battery alone into the rear slot.
The LED on the front of the dual-slot desktop charger indicates
the following:

❿
A

indicates that the battery is operating at a
temperature that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor
connection. Make sure the phone is resting in the charger
slot.
It generally takes about four hours to fully recharge a completely
discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery,
it is practical to recharge the battery before it becomes
completely discharged.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
❿
Turn the phone off.

Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of
the charger.

❿
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your

Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint 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 Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the

Tip: Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint 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 PCS Network. You may
not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS
Wireless Web.
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 Sprint PCS Wireless
