Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Phone Basics

WARNING

Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to
use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
battery and charger may increase the risk that your
phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through your
phone’s manufacturer, or contact your cable provider for
more information.

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The battery provides up to 3.6 hours of continuous digital
talk time.

When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,

Note:

browser use, and other variables may affect battery life.

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Section 1A: Phone Basics 13

phone at a 45-degree angle, making sure to line up the
gold contacts. Gently press down until the battery
snaps into place.

2. Install the protective cover by lining up the tabs at a

45-degree angle, and gently press down until the cover

Section 1A: Phone Basics 14

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be charged
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 ( ) appears
and the phone displays a warning message.

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

Phone Basics

WARNING

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

Using the Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

2. Plug the other end of the travel charger into the

charger jack on the side of your phone (with the
battery installed).

⽧ Using Data Roam Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new KATANA™ by Sanyo

works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows
you to roam on 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where
roaming agreements have been implemented.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Roaming

Section 1D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 80

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint

Tip:

National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).

Unless your Pivot service plan includes roaming, you will

Note:

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Sprint National Network. However,
depending on the network available where you are roaming,
certain features may not be available.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National

Note:

Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an
area where you think network service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Roaming

Section 1D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 81

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you
will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will
need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages
if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of
time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

When you return to the network, voicemail notification will
resume as normal.
