Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
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.
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.sprint.com. – click the Accessories tab.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery
than can be recharged before it is fully drained. The battery
provides up to 3.5hours 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.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use 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.
