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 over 3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (over 1 hour in analog) or over 100 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog).

Navigating and

Note:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and MiniBrowser 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 OK.

The Empty Battery Icon

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. If you plug into a charging device, you can continue your call. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and make sure your battery is adequately charged.

Installing the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:

1. Hold the battery so that the metal contacts on the base

of the battery line up with the metal contacts on the base of the phone.

2. 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.

3. Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone

until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

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

Section 2

24 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone

1. So that no stored messages or numbers are lost, power

off your phone by pressing and holding the key.

2. Press the battery release latch (see illustration) and

slide the battery away from the latch.

3. Lift the battery away from the phone.

Getting Started

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. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information 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.

Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger

When you are ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only Sprint PCS-approved desktop chargers and AC adapter chargers. To use the dual-slot desktop charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the dual-slot desktop charger’s power cord into a

wall outlet.

2. There are three possible charging configurations.

Choose the one that best suits your needs.

䊳 Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the

front slot of the charger.

䊳 Insert a single battery (alone, not attached to the

phone) into the rear compartment of the charger.

Warning!

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

Entering Text

Navigating and

Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone 25

䊳 Insert a single battery into the rear compartment of

your desktop charger, and the phone (with battery attached), into the front compartment.

The LED on the front of the dual-slot desktop charger indicates the following:

䊳 A red light indicates the battery is charging. 䊳 A green light indicates 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 too low, or that there is a poor connection. Make sure the phone is resting in the charger slot.

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

To get the quickest charge for any battery:

䊳 Turn the phone off. 䊳 Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front

slot of the charger.

䊳 Do not put a battery into the rear slot of the charger. 䊳 When two batteries are in the charger, the batteries

charge simultaneously, but charging time increases for both batteries.

䊳 Leaving batteries in the charger once fully charged will

not hurt the batteries.

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page

You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will launch without placing a call. This is because the phone stores recently viewed pages in its’ memory cache. The MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a page that's not stored in the cache.

If the phone has been inactive for a while and a new wireless Internet site has not been requested, the MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection will end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not stored in the phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that you are billed for several network connections within a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize air time charges.

When launching the MiniBrowser, you may see a reminder that MiniBrowser calls will be charged.
