Using the Travel Charger
When you are ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you
use only Sprint PCS-approved Travel Charger and AC
adapter chargers. To use the travel charger provided with
your phone:
1.
Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
2.
Plug the other end of the travel charger into the bottom of
your phone, with the battery installed.
Charging when your phone is turned on:
The battery icon
is blinking while charging. The
battery icon
stops blinking when charging is
complete.
Charging when your phone is turned off:
The battery icon
is blinking, and the message
“BATTERY CHARGING -Power Off” is shown on the
display while charging. When the battery is completely
discharged, you may wait for several minutes until the
message is shown on the display. The battery icon
stops blinking, and message changes to “CHARGING
COMPLETE--Power Off--” when charging complete.
It generally takes about 3 hours to fully recharge a
completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved
LiIon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it
becomes completely run down.
