Battery and Charger
Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through
Kyocera; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They are also
available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with two Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
batteries. It allows you to recharge your battery before it
is fully drained. The battery provides up to x.x hours of
continuous digital talk time.
When the battery level drops to 15%, a pop-up window
warns you that the battery is low. When the battery level
drops to 0%, the device shuts down.
Installing the Battery

any stored numbers or messages.
2. Firmly press your thumbs against the battery cover
and push upward to remove it.
3. Insert a paper clip or similar object into the slot at
the bottom of the battery compartment and lift the
battery up to remove it.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved
batteries and chargers with your device. The
failure to use a Sprint-approved or Kyocera-
approved battery and charger may increase the
risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.
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 device’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.
14 2A. Device Basics
Charging the Internal Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off, and you will lose any
information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Kyocera-approved
battery charger, desktop charger, travel charger, or
vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
1. Plug the Micro B USB cable
into the device’s charger/
accessory jack.
2. Plug the other end of the
USB cable into the Wall/
USB Charger, and then
plug the Wall/USB Charger into a wall outlet.
ⅢA solid red indicator light means the battery is
charging.
ⅢA flashing red indicator light means the battery is
low.
ⅢA solid green indicator light means the battery is
fully charged.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down. With the use of the included battery charger, you
can charge a spare battery without having to be
inserted in the device. See “Charging the Spare
Battery” below.
Charging the Spare Battery
For added convenience, you can charge a spare
battery by using the included battery charger. When
your primary battery becomes discharged, a spare
battery can extend the battery life of your device.
To install the spare battery in the battery charger:
1. Slide the charger cover in the direction of the arrow
until it locks in the fully open position.
2. Insert the battery into the charger unit, making sure
the connectors align and gently press down to
secure the battery.
3. Close the charger cover until you hear a click.
WARNING: Do not remove the battery while it is charging. Always
remove the charger from the wall outlet first before
removing the Micro USB cable from the device.
2A. Device Basics 15
Device Basics
To charge the spare battery using the battery charger:
1. Move the slide switch to the “DC IN 5V” position.
2. Plug the Micro B USB cable into the micro-USB
jack on the charger.
3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Wall/
USB Charger, and then plug the Wall/USB Charger
into a wall outlet.
ⅢThe red lamp light is on while the battery is charging.
ⅢThe red lamp light goes off when the battery is fully
charged.
To use the battery charger as an external battery:
1. Move the slide switch to the “DC OUT 5V” position.
(The charge lamp turns green.)
2. Plug the Micro B USB cable into the device’s
charger/accessory jack and the other end into the
USB jack on the charger.
ⅢThe LED indicator on the device will turn red while
the battery is charging, and then change to green
once the charge is complete.
Note: If the charge lamp starts flashing red, you may have a
high battery temperature, battery problem, Wall/USB
Charger problem, or battery charger problem.

Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, backlight levels, Bluetooth and
GPS use all contribute to draining your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery’s charge:
ⅷReduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 44.
ⅷTurn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 83.
ⅷTurn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On
and Off” on page 101.
ⅷTurn GPS off when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains
your battery. See “Location Settings” on page 45.
ⅷDo not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeated complete
discharging and recharging can reduce the storage
capacity of any battery over time.
ⅷTurn off Automatic application sync. See
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 46.
ⅷAdd a Power Control Widget to your Home screen to
deactivate features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
and synchronization and to reduce the screen’s
brightness setting.
ⅷCheck running services and close any unnecessary
applications. See “To view and control currently
running services:” on page 54.
Note: After use, make sure you move the slide switch to “DC
IN 5V” position to prevent battery drain.
It will take much longer to charge the device using the
battery charger as that is the trickle charge function. We
recommend to replace the original battery with a fully
charged battery when your primary battery becomes
discharged.

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology
that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free
car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers,
and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication
range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Turning Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off.
Bluetooth operates in three modes:
ⅷOn: Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect
other Bluetooth devices but other devices cannot
detect your device.
ⅷDiscoverable: Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can
detect other Bluetooth devices and other devices
can also detect your device for 120 seconds.
ⅷOff: Bluetooth is turned off. Information cannot be
sent or received when Bluetooth is turned off.
To turn Bluetooth on:
1. Press Home > Menu > Settings >
Wireless & networks.
2. Tap the Bluetooth check box to turn on. (A check
mark indicates this feature is enabled.) When
active, appears on the status bar.
3. To make your device discoverable, tap
Bluetooth settings, and then tap the Discoverable
check box to enable other Bluetooth devices to
detect your device for 120 seconds.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
Paired Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish
trusted connections between your device and another
Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a
passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while
bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Note: Your device is visible for up to 120 seconds (two
minutes). This value appears as a countdown within
the Discoverable field.
2I. Bluetooth 85
Bluetooth
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Discoverable.
Your device must be visible to successfully pair
with an external device.
3. Tap Scan for devices. Your device will display a list
of discovered in-range Bluetooth devices.
4. Tap a device you would like to pair with, enter a
passkey, if necessary, and tap OK.
5. The device will be paired when it enters the same
passkey.
To disconnect Bluetooth devices:
1. Press Home > Menu > Settings >
Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.
2. Under the Bluetooth devices section, tap and hold
the connected device.
3. On the options menu, tap Disconnect.
To unpair Bluetooth devices:
1. Press Home > Menu > Settings >
Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.
2. Under the Bluetooth devices section, tap and hold
the paired device.

Disconnect & unpair (when connected).
Note: Some devices may be paired by tapping Pair when the
option is available.
Note: If you’re asked for a passcode and you’re not sure what
it is, try “0000” or “1234.” If neither of these works,
consult the Bluetooth device’s documentation.
Due to different specifications and features of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth-
compatible devices.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passkey again.

Wi-Fi
About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a term used for certain types of wireless local
area networks (WLAN). These device types use an
802.11 wireless specification to transmit and receive
wireless data.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing
and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These
WAPs can either be open (unsecured) as within most
hot spots, or secured (requiring knowledge of the
router name and password).
Turning Wi-Fi On and Off
By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off.
Turning Wi-Fi on makes your device able to discover
and connect to compatible in-range Wi-Fi networks.

1. Press Home > Menu > Settings
>
Wireless & networks.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi field to activate the feature. (A check
mark indicates this feature is enabled.) The device

you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a
voicemail, you will see on the screen.
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated
time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing
it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a
listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s
duration will depend on the story or content being
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a
few minutes.
3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have
my device?
As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint

video clips.
Note: The first time you access a channel, the system will

4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?
It depends on the content provider. Some of the
channels available through Sprint TV stream live
content. Others provide media on demand with
video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout
the day, but that are not “live.”
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel
for a monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation?
That is, how do I know it has been purchased?
The next time you access the channel, you bypass
the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the
available content.
6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able
to view the multimedia clips?
Yes. For service access charges, please consult
your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I
see the word “loading” at the bottom of the
screen?
This happens when the device is loading the data
necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when
there is heavy traffic on the network.
8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?
To cancel your Sprint TV service, visit
www.sprint.com and sign on to My Sprint with your
account number and password. From this page,
you have the ability to cancel the service or any
channels to which you subscribe.
9. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing
a clip?

different channel. You will see a small pop-up
screen that tells you which channel you are
watching as well as other channels that you have
access to. Once you find a channel that you want
to watch, scroll to it and tap (or simply wait

personnel should service your device and accessories. Failure
to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
4A. Important Safety Information 127
Important Safety Information
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access
to Your Device
Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check
with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Device While Driving
Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety
always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any
special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Turning Off Your Device Before Flying
Turn off your device before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your device while
the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in
the air.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also
dial # 2 2 2 on your device.
Note: Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the device near medical equipment.
128 4A. Important Safety Information
Turning Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your device off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your device
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
ⅢFueling areas such as gas stations.
ⅢBelow deck on boats.
ⅢFuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ⅢAreas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ⅢAny other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device or
make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.
Using Your Device With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your Orange has an M4
and T4 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains
your device or accessories.
4A. Important Safety Information 129
Important Safety Information
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.)
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil
(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to
interference noise from wireless phones and should have
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of
your hearing aid and your device to determine probable
usability:
ⅷAny combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
ⅷAny combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
ⅷAny combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.
Should you experience interference or find the quality of
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. (A restocking
fee may be applied to exchanges. Visit www.sprint.com/returns
for details.) More information about hearing aid compatibility
may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and
www.accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Device
To further minimize interference:
ⅷSet the device’s display and keypad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time interval:
1. Press Home > Menu > Settings > Display >
Screen timeout.
2. Tap the minimum time interval setting (15 seconds).
ⅷPosition the device so the internal antenna is farthest from
your hearing aid.
ⅷMove the device around to find the point with least
interference.
Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing
aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,
there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi)
used in this phone that have not been tested for use with
hearing aids.
130 4A. Important Safety Information
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ⅷRecently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your device. Use only
Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they’re genuine and safe.
ⅷIn order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
ⅷDon’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
ⅷNever dispose of the battery by incineration.
ⅷKeep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
ⅷDon’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
ⅷThe battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
ⅷIt’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.
ⅷDon’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
ⅢLess than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
ⅢMore than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can
be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business
trash may be prohibited.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Device Operates
Your device is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals. When you use your device, the system handling your
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
4A. Important Safety Information 131
Important Safety Information
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your device complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of
research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August
1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by
the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or
Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 0.866 inches (2.2 centimeters) from your
body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Other
accessories used with this device for body-worn operations
must not contain any metallic components and must provide at
least 0.866 inches (2.2 centimeters) of separation between the
antenna and the user’s body.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website
at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in
SAR values between different model phones do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
132 4A. Important Safety Information
The highest reported SAR values of the Orange are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.65 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.58 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.36 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.38 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines.
FCC ID number: V65M9300.
More information on the device’s SAR can be found from the
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
