Once your phone is on, it displays “Looking for service...” which
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone
finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s idle
state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found,
your phone automatically returns to standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for
PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).

UsingYour Phone’s Battery and Charger
BatteryCapacity
Your PCS Vision 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 3.0 hours of continuous digital
talk time (1.7 hours in analog) or approximately 288 hours of
continuous digital standby time (17 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon
appears. When there are approximately two 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.
InstallingtheBattery
ToinstalltheLiIonbattery:
1. Place the battery into the space beneath
the antenna with the metal contacts at
the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down until it’s in place and
the battery release latch snaps.
RemovingtheBattery
Toremoveyourbattery:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you
don’t lose any stored numbers or
messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up and
hold the battery.
3. Pull the battery up and out at a 45-degree
angle.
Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone – The Basics

ChargingtheBattery
Your PCS Vision 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 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 low battery icon
(
) appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved 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.
UsingtheTravel Charger
Tousethetravelchargerprovidedwithyourphone:
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).

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery,
you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely
run down.

TTY UseWith PCS Service From Sprint
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard
of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a
special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by
first dialing
. Then provide the state TRS with
this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.
