Phone Basics
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 5.5 hours of
continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of it
s capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes
of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and
then turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2 .
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose
any stored numbers or messages.
2. Slide the cover up and remove the battery from the
phone.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off, and you will lose any
information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop
c
harger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.
Plug the small end of the charger into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet.
A red indicator light means the battery is charging.
A green indicator light means the battery is at
least 90 percent charged.
With the LG and Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
r
echarge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.
