So that no stored messages or numbers are lost, power off your phone
by pressing and holding
.
2.
Pull the battery lock above the battery toward the top of the phone
and hold it in that position.
3.
Lift the battery away, as shown.
Charging the Battery
Your 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. If your battery level
becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off. 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 is getting too low, the battery icon
blinks and the
phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-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 Desktop Charger
To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:
1.
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger holder and the
other end into the electrical outlet.
2.
Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.
•
A
red light
on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.
•
A
green light
indicates that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
•
A
yellow light
indicates that there is a problem charging the phone.
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown
battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.
If a Travel Charger is used to charge the battery, multi-colored lights are
displayed when the flip is closed. Red, Green, and blue lights are cycled
during the charging process. When the battery is completely charged, all
lights are displayed continuously.
Using the Travel Adapter
The travel adapter allows you to use the phone while the battery is
charging, but this causes the phone to charge more slowly.
1.
With the battery in position on the phone, plug the connector of the
travel adapter into the jack at the bottom of the phone.
2.
Plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
