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 2.9 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 168 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.

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

2. Gently slide the battery up until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

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

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.

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

To use the travel adapter provided with your phone:

1. Plug the adapter in the wall and the other end into the power

interface adapter on the bottom of the phone.

䊳 A red light and animated battery icon on the phone lets you know the

battery is charging.

percent charged.

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.

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 43

䊳 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.

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.
