24 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should
charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. For a quick check of
your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located
in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery
charge gets too low, the battery icon (
) blinks and the phone sounds
a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or
Vehicle Power Adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Single-Slot Desktop Charger
To use the single-slot desktop charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the dual-slot desktop charger’s power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot of the
charger.
The LED on the front of the dual-slot desktop charger indicates the
following:
ᮣ
A red light indicates the battery is charging.
ᮣ
A green light indicates the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
ᮣ
A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature
that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor connection. Make
sure the phone is resting in the charger slot.
It generally takes about four hours to fully recharge a completely
discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is
practical to recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
ᮣ
Turn the phone off.
ᮣ
Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of the
charger.
