Using Your Phone’s 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 4.5 hours of continuous digital talk
time (2.5 hours in analog) or approximately 140 hours of continuous
digital standby time (23 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, PCS Ready

Link mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip:Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery

before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

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

1. Place the battery into the space
beneath the antenna with the metal
contacts at the bottom,facing
downward.

2. Gently press down until it’s in place
and the battery release latch snaps.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure the power is off so that you

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

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone

and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

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

your phone (with the battery installed).

changes to “CHARGING COMPLETE-Power Off-” when
charging is complete.

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely

special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

R

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band PCS Phone
works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you
to roam on other networks where we’ve implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers.

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

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 63

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 whether your phone is
operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other/Analog 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 digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain features, such as PCS Vision.

Note: PCS Ready Link service is not available in roaming areas.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 64

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks,you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, may be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail.
You will experience a few differences:



You are more likely to experience static,cross-talk, fade-out,and
dropped calls.



Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, such as call waiting,PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link,
and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.



Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear
your greeting and enter your passcode at the prompt.



There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.



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.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 65

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using
the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your
phone accepts.

control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

2. Highlight Settings and press .

3. Highlight Roaming and press .

4. Highlight Set Mode and press .

5. To select an option,select it and press .



This setting allows you to access the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.



Automatic. This setting seeks PCS Service. When
PCS Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.



Analog. This setting forces the phone to seek an analog
roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic)
is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 66

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming
charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming
charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls. It
also requires you to take an additional step before placing or answering
a roaming call. This additional step is not required when you make or
receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Highlight Settings and press .

3. Highlight Roaming and press .
