Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
Your phone warns you with an audible alert when the battery reaches 15% and 5% of its capacity.
When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone plays another alert and then turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Warning: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Charging the Battery
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 any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Motorola desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
