Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. The standard battery provides up to 3.3 hours of continuous digital talk time and the extended battery provides up to 5 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note:	Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
	mode, and browser use affect the battery talk and standby
	times.


Tip:	Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
	charge the battery before it runs out of power.
