Using Your Phone’s Battery

Battery Capacity

Your PCS 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 4.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (2.5 hours in analog) or approximately 140 hours of continuous digital standby time (23 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately five 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.
