From the phone menu, tap the Menu Launcher icon. 2. Select the Options menu and tap Phone Info. Using the Battery Battery Capacity Your 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 4.2 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 250 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog). When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers down. Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 26 Tip: Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to ensure your levels are okay. Installing the Battery Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it: 1. Place the battery on the back of the phone, making sure that the plastic tabs are aligned with the corresponding holes in the phone. 2. Gently slide the battery up until it snaps into place. Removing the Battery To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps: 1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages. 2. Press the battery release latch and slide the battery down. 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’ll lose everything 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. There is also an internal backup battery that saves all the settings in the phone when the regular battery is discharged. An internal backup battery needs to be charged initially for 24 hours. To make sure the internal battery is charged, do not disconnect the main battery from the phone for 24 hours. Note: The internal battery will maintain data for 15 hours. Always use a Sprint-approved desktop holder, travel charger or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 27 Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty. It is vital that you use only the PCS-approved desktop holder specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty. To use the desktop holder provided with your phone: 1. Plug the adapter in the wall and set the phone in the cradle.
A red light on the holder lets you know the battery is charging.
A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature that is too high or low, or that the holder is not plugged in correctly. Please check the holder and the battery. It takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. Connecting the Desktop Holder Your package includes a desktop holder for charging the battery and synchronizing the PCS Phone with a desktop or laptop computer. If you do not plan to synchronize the PCS Phone with a desktop computer, the desktop holder can be used as a battery charger only when the travel adapter is plugged into the desktop holder to supply the power needed to charge the battery. Once the desktop holder is connected to the travel adapter, the battery charger is fully functional. The desktop holder was designed especially for the i500. No other devices can be used.

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 28 Removing the i500 from the Desktop Holder To remove the i500 from the desktop holder, pull the handset towards you and then pull out. DO NOT pull straight up, or damage to the power connector on the bottom of the holder may occur. See the illustration below for proper removal. Note: Before you connect the i500 to the desktop/laptop computer, make sure you install the i500 software drivers from the installation CD. PC System Requirements for the PalmTM Desktop Software To install and operate correctly, the PalmTM software must have the following resources:
Windows® 95, 98, ME, NT, XP, or 2000

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new [dual band/tri-mode] PCS Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on [analog and digital] networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is available. This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience. R

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 51 Understanding Roaming Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone. Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number). Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls. Roaming on Other Digital Networks When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision. Roaming on Analog Networks When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Roaming Indicator Sprint Nationwide PCS Network Other Digital Networks

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming. Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

2H: Personal Organizer 92 Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events
If you change the start date of a repeating event, your phone calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your phone then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your phone creates a new repeating event.
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your phone adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your phone creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed.
If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon. Date Book Menus There are menu commands that are specific to the Date Book. They are:
