Section 2A: Your Phone – The Basics 21
Chargingthe Battery
Your phone’s Lithium Polymer battery is rechargeable and
should be charged 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 justworking
on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at
the battery charge indicator located in the upper-rightcorner
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- or manufacturer-approved desktop
charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge
your battery.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
Ared indicator lighton the phone lets you know the
battery is charging.
A green indicator lightlets you know thatthe battery
is atleast 90 percent charged.
Ittakes approximately 3hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved Lithium Polymer
battery, you can recharge the battery before itbecomes
completely run down.
