Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

WARNING

Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer; or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at

www.sprint.com – click the Accessories

tab and then click Sprint Accessories.

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.4 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,

Note:

browser use, and other variables may affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Using the Charger

To use the phone charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the phone charger into a wall outlet.

2. Plug the other end of the phone charger into the charger

jack at the bottom of your phone (with the battery installed).

WARNING

911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends thatTTY 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 equipmentor software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
