Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your PCS Vision Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.

The battery provides approximately 3.0 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.7 hours in analog) or approximately 288 hours of continuous digital standby time (17 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon appears. 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, PCS Ready Link mode, and browser use affect the battery’s 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.

Installingthe Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1. Place the battery into the space beneath the antenna with the metal contacts at the bottom, facing downward.

2. Gently press down until it’s in place and the battery release latch snaps.

Removingthe Battery

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
