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 2 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately 5 minutes of
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
