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 3.25 hours of continuous digital talk
time (1.4 hours in analog) or approximately 90 hours of continuous
digital standby time (14 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
don’t lose any stored numbers or
messages.

2. Push the battery release latch up and
hold the battery.

3. Pull the battery up and out at a
45-degree angle.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

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 of 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
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery,
you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely
run down.

TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard
of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a
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
first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

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/tri-mode
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 72

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.

Main LCD/Sub LCD Roaming Indicator Analog Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks

Digital Roam

Analog Networks

Analog Roam

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 73

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, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail.
You may experience the following 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, are 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.
