Using the B a t t e r y

Battery C a p a c i t y

Your Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™i s equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 3.75 hours of continuous digital talk time (one hour in analog) or approximately 200 hours of continuous digital standby time (25 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 every 30 seconds and then powers down.

I n s t a l l i n g the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon b a t t e r y. Follow these steps to install it:

1 . Place the battery in the opening at a

45-degree angle with the metal contacts at the top, facing downward.

2 . Gently press down on the battery until the

latch snaps into place.

N o t e :

Long backlight

settings, searching

Ti p :

Be sure to charge

your phone’s

battery and watch

your indicator

to ensure your

levels are OK.

Page 28

Getting to Know your Sprint PCS Phone 19

R e m o v i n g the Battery

To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:

1 . Make sure the power is off so that you don’t

lose any stored numbers or messages.

2 . Press the battery release latch down. 3 . Remove the battery from the phone at a

45-degree angle.

C h a r g i n g the Battery

Your Sprint 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 l o w, your phone automatically turns off and you’ll lose everything 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 p h o n e ’s display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use the Sprint PCS- approved Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge your battery.

Wa r n i n g !

Using the wrong

battery charger

could cause

damage to your

phone and void the

Page 29

20 Getting to Know your Sprint PCS Phone

Using the Desktop Charger

When you’re ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only Sprint PCS-approved desktop chargers and AC adapter chargers. To use the desktop charger provided with your p h o n e :

1 .

Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger holder and the other end into the electrical outlet.

2 . Insert the the phone (with the battery

installed) into the slot. The battery status icon blinks during charging.

It generally takes about 2 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved Lilon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Understanding Roaming 23

Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks

When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call quality will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCSWireless Web, however, all of your calls are still private and secure.

Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks

When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will experience the same quality provided by analog cellular carriers today. Although certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless We b , may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences including:

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

Some calling features that are standard on

the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.

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

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog cellular r o a m i n g .

A u t o m a t i c : This setting seeks Sprint PCS

Service. When Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative s y s t e m .

Analog Only:This setting forces the phone to

seek an analog roaming system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Setting an Alert When Roam Charges Apply (Call Guard)

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. The following settings apply to Call Guard.

Call Guard

This feature makes it easy to control when you roam by reminding you when you make or receive a roaming call. It also requires you to take additional steps before placing or answering a roaming call. These additional steps are not required when you make or receive calls while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.

However, if the time has not been set since the battery was installed and you turn your phone on outside a Sprint PCS Service Area, you are prompted to enter the current time and date.

To enter the time and date when the Set Time and Date menu is displayed, press the appropriate keys on your keypad. Fields must be two digits, for example “05:07a 01/01/99.” To toggle between AM and PM, highlight A M / P M and press .
