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

angle.

Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone – The Basics 15

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

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).



Charging when your phone is turned on:

The battery icon appears on the display while charging.
The battery icon turns to when charging is complete.



Charging when your phone is turned off:

The battery icon appears, and the message “BATTERY
CHARGING--Power Off--” is shown on the display while
charging. When the battery is completely discharged, you
may wait for several minutes until the message is shown on
the display. The battery icon turns to ,and the message
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.

telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard
of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.

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.

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

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

 Understanding Roaming

 Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode

PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and
800 MHz digital 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 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 68

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: Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, 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. However, 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 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69

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,PCS Ready Link, and PCS Voice Command,
will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to PCS Service, you may notice some
of the following differences when using analog service:



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



Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,such as call waiting, PCS Vision,
PSC 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. (See “Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming” on the next page).



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



Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need
to recharge it more often 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 phone may feel warm. This is

normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 70

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you
may 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:



Dial 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number.

When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,voicemail
notification will resume as normal.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

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

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode
phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings and press .

3. Select Roaming and press .

4. Select Set Mode and press .

5. Select an option from the following,and press .

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.



unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.



the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network:the onscreen roaming icon and
Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges
by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)
