Page 23: Inserting The Battery
Inserting the Battery WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk of your device overheating, catching fire, or exploding, which may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Page 25: Charging The Battery
Charging the Battery The battery comes with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process and activate your phone. After activation, we recommend charging your device for three and a half hours to give it a full charge. See “Maximizing Battery Life” on page 18 for tips on maximizing the life of your device’s battery.

Page 27 Using a Sprint Charger Adapter If the connector on your Sprint-approved 1 Amp AC charger or vehicle charger doesn’t fit into the connector on the bottom of your device, use the included Sprint charger adapter. WARNING: Use only with 1 Amp AC chargers distributed by Sprint for your device. Using any unapproved AC charger may destroy the AC charger and cause a fire.
Page 28: Maximizing Battery Life
Maximizing Battery Life You can increase the life of your device’s battery by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your device. Charge your device whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus being charged after it is fully drained.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls Wireless phones such as the one on your Centro device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Page 358 Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

You can do this in many ways, including the following: Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground.
