Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging, or for another reason,
follow these easy steps:
1.
Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any
stored numbers or messages.
2.
Press up on the battery release latch and hold the battery,
then pull it up and out at a 45-degree angle.
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. If your
battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically
turns off and you will lose all the information you were just
working on. 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 the Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Charger,
Travel Charger or Vehicle Power Adapter to charge
your battery.
