The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for

a long period of time.

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides

acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of

times before it needs replacing.

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

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 wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or

Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn

accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure

the antenna is at least

7/16 inch

(

1.5 centimeters

) from your

body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved

accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
