Storing

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can
be burned.

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note:

Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In

some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business
trash may be prohibited.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.
When you use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to
0.2 watt in digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996,
the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
