Using Your Phone’s Battery
Battery Capacity
Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
The standard battery provides approximately 3.3 hours of
continuous digital talk time (1.5 hours in analog) or approximately
360 hours of continuous digital standby time (18 hours in analog).
The extended battery provides approximately 5.4 hours of
continuous digital talk time (2.4 hours in analog) or approximately
580 hours of continuous digital standby time (29 hours in analog).
When the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, camera/camcorder mode,
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.
