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.sprint.com – click on the Shopping tab at the
top, then look under Phones & Accessories.
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS 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 Sprint PCS Phone. The
failure to use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-
approved battery and charger may increase the risk that
your Sprint PCS Phone will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
Bluetooth, 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.
