Using 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 2.4 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1.3 hour in analog) or approximately 7 days of continuous digital
standby time (15 hours in analog). The battery charges in about 4 hours
using the travel charger supplied with your phone.
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 to the back of the phone, making sure that the
three plastic tabs line up with the corresponding slots on the phone.
2. Gently push the battery down and upward on the phone until it snaps
into place.
Section 2

Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone
Charging 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. 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 gets too low, the battery icon (
a warning tone.
) blinks and the phone sounds
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Travel Charger or Vehicle Power
Adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Adapter
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the travel charger power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Plug the other end of the travel charger into the bottom of the phone,
with the battery installed.
The LED on the phone indicates the following:
ᮣ
A red light with battery animation indicates the battery is charging.
A green light without animation indicates the battery is fully
charged.
ᮣ
ᮣ
A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature
that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor connection. Make
sure the phone is resting in the charger slot.
It generally takes about four hours to fully recharge a completely
discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is
practical to recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
ᮣ
Turn the phone off.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or
digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on
where you’re using your phone.

Tip: Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security 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 PCS Wireless Web.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling
features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, 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 which are standard on the SprintPCS Network,
such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct
international dialing, are unavailable.

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter
an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By
