24 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should
charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. 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 gets too low, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds
a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or
Vehicle Power Adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong bat tery charger could cause damage t o your
phone and void the warranty.

To use the single-slot desktop charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the dual-slot desktop charger’s power cord into a wall outlet.
2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot of the
charger.
The LED on the front of the dual-slot desktop charger indicates the
following:
䊳A red light indicates the battery is charging.
䊳A green light indicates the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
䊳A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature
that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor connection. Make
sure the phone is resting in the charger slot.

discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is
practical to recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
䊳Turn the phone off.
䊳Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of the
