Using and Charging the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS 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 2.9 hours of
continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately
168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in
analog).
Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level gets
too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you
know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), sounding an
audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue
to operate the phone without charging, the phone will turn off
automatically (after a three to five minute delay). If this
happens, your call will end.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
Browser use affect the battery's talk and standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to charge your phone's battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these
steps to install it:
1.
Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the
battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch from the battery latch.
2.
Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it
snaps into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:
1.
Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding <End> so
