Section 2A:Your Sprint PCS Phone – The Basics 21
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
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 up to 3.5
hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 1.8 hours in
analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
To install the battery, you must first remove the phone
battery cover. To remove the battery cover, turn the phone
upside down, press the release button down, and push the
battery cover away.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
