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.

Phone Basics

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.
