Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint 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 3.6 hours of continuous digital talk time
(1 hour in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous digital
standby time (15 hours in analog).
Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to
operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an
empty battery icon (
), sounding an audible alert and displaying a
warning message. If you continue to operate the phone without
charging, the phone will turn off automatically (after a three to five
minute delay). If this happens, your call will end.
