Phone Basics
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Nextel-approved and Motorola-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores, through Motorola,
or by calling 1-888-242-4187 to order. They’re also available
at
www.nextel.com – just click the Accessories link.
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.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, your phone
makes a sound and displays a message. 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 your battery:
1. Make sure the phone is powered off.
2. Slide the release button back until it releases the
battery door.
WARNING
Use only Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use
a Nextel-approved or Motorola-approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your phone overheats,
catches fire, or explodes, resulting in serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
Note:
Long light settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
browser use, and other variables may affect battery life.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
You can purchase a larger battery with a longer battery life, if
needed.
