Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your SprintPCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. Itallows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous
digital talk time (up to 3 hours in analog).

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

Note: Long backlightsettings, searching for service, vibrate 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 itruns out of power.

Installingthe Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1. Place the battery into the

space beneath the

battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically
turns off and you will lose all the information you were
currently 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
appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.

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

disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that
it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connectvia a special cable that plugs into your
phone’s headset jack. If this cable is notprovided with your
TTY device, contactyour TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.

When establishing your SprintPCS Service, please call Sprint
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing

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 equipmentor software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
