Charging the Battery
Your 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. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you were just working on. 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 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 Travel Charger

1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
2. Plug the other end of the travel charger into the bottom of your
phone (with the battery installed).

changes to “CHARGING COMPLETE-Power Off-” when

run down.
