Section 2A: Your SprintPCS Phone – The Basics 23
Chargingthe Battery
Your SprintPCS Phone’s LiIon 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 justworking
on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at
the battery charge indicator located in the upper-rightcorner
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 desktop 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.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
䊳Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
䡲Ared indicator lighton the phone lets you know the
battery is charging.
䡲A green indicator lightlets you know thatthe battery
is atleast 90 percent charged.
Ittakes approximately 3 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you
can recharge the battery before itbecomes completely run
down.
