Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone’s Li-Ion 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 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 a Sprint-approved battery 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.
