Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your PCS Vision 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 3.0 hours of
continuous digital talk time (1.5 hours in analog) or approximately
96 hours of continuous digital standby time (22 hours in analog).

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.

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

To install the LiIon battery:

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:

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

Charging the Battery

Your PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon 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 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 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
