available on your PC with those found on your phone. This one-for-one match is done by using Sprint’s Music Manager application found on your CD-ROM in the box.

Features of Your Phone

Congratulations on the purchase of your phone. The UpStage
TM
is lightweight, easy-to-use, and reliable, and it also offers many significant features and service options. The following list previews some of those features and provides page numbers where you can find out more:

receive calls while on the Sprint National Network and to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where Sprint has implemented roaming agreements (page 117).
Two LCD screens make it easier to use the features of both

Press and release on your wireless phone.
Once your phone is on, the Phone Display screen may display a “Searching” screen, which indicates your phone is searching for a signal from Sprint.

.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power

Using Your Phone’s Charger

UpStage does not have a user-accessible battery compartment.
Note:
If a future technical issue ever arises surrounding the battery (charge time, usage, or a dead battery condition), please contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.
Sprint- or manufacturer-approved accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at
www.sprint.c om.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a pre-installed Lithium Polymer battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 2.5 hours of continuous digital talk time.
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 and then powers down.
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
Note:
Bluetooth, and browser use will affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
Tip:
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Charging the Battery
Your phone’s internal Lithium Polymer battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
It is recommended that you charge your battery for at least
Tip:
six hours before first using your phone. This guarantees you begin using your phone with a fully charged battery.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically shuts 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 upper-right corner of your Main LCD or at the upper-left of the Phone Display screen.
If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved travel charger or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

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

Your phone is capable of supporting a memory storage media known as a microSD™ memory card (TransFlash™ card). This card is the newest standard of flash memory specifically designed for use with ultra-small mobile phones and other devices. It is ideal for storing media-rich files such as music, videos, and photographs in your phone.
The in-box contents come with a 64MB memory card.
Note:
The maximum storage size for this media card is 2 GB.

The following is an overview of the Navigation Pad’s layout for menu access and selection:
Left Softkey (upper-left) allows you to select softkey
actions or menu items corresponding to the bottom left text on the display screen.
Right Softkey (upper-right) allows you to select softkey
actions or menu items corresponding to the bottom right text on the display screen.
Menu Key (upper-center) allows you to access the main
menu, use both the Up and Down keys to move focus up or down by a single row or entry with each touch.
Left/Right Keys allow you to move focus left or right by a
single entry or menu at a time with each touch.

Tip:
lighter the touch the better the response. Pressing or tapping the pad harder will not increase its responsiveness.
The Navigation Pad recognizes tapping and sweeping (horizontally and vertically). For continuous menu scrolling, a sweep and hold action must be used. If the Navigation Pad is too sensitive you can adjust its sensitivity level by going to Menu > Settings > Sensitivity. Please note: this device does NOT respond to circular finger movements!
Phone Basics
Section 2A: Phone Basics 43

Navigating the Main Menu Using the Touch Pad
The Navigation Pad can also be used to scroll through menu options in a manner similar to most laptop touchpads (with the exception of diagonal movement). Using a single press (tap) of the Up/Right/Down/Left areas of the pad allows a user to navigate within a menu, a single entry at a time.
It is important to note that since the pad is touch sensitive, single presses are sufficient to navigate through the menu options. Inexplicably exiting from a menu or returning to a previous menu item can be due to inadvertent pressing of one of the corner functions (Back, Left Softkey, or Right Softkey).
Navigation Pad sensitivity settings can be changed by
Note:
navigating to Menu > Settings > Sensitivity.

Example 1: If you wanted to open the main menu and then access the Settings screen:

using the Grid view, the default menu selection is Missed Alerts. If you're using List view, Web is the default.)
