Phone Basics
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories
can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also
available at
www.spr in t.c om – click the Wireless link under
“Personal,” and then click Accessories under “Shop Sprint PCS
Online.”
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) 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.
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.
Warning!
Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use
a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your phone will
overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service and vibrate
mode affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
