Phone Basics
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone’s Li-Ion 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 battery charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
ᮣ Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
power interface connector and the other end into an
electrical outlet.
Ⅲ A red indicator light on the phone lets you know the
battery is charging.
Ⅲ A green indicator light lets you know that the battery
is at least 90 percent charged.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved
Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes
completely run down.
Warning!
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to
your phone and void the warranty.
