Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or
vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Only use batteries approved by Sprint. Using the wrong battery
charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
Using the Charger
To use the charger provided with your phone:
1. Install the phone battery in the phone.
2. Plug the prongs of the adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the desktop
charger and insert the phone into the charger slot.
– or –
Plug the adapter directly into the charger jack on the phone,
if the charger stand is not used. (If the phone is on, the
screen briefly displays a “Charging” notification followed
immediately by a scrolling battery strength indicator. If the
phone is off, the screen displays “Phone off. Battery
charging”.)
4. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the phone from
the charger. (If the phone is on, the battery strength
indicator stops scrolling. If the phone is off, the screen
displays “Phone off. Charge completed”.)
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.
Warning! Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge
itself over time.
