Battery and Charger
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved
batteries and chargers with your device. The
failure to use a Sprint-approved or Samsungapproved 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.
Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved batteries and
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through
Samsung; or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re
also available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 5 hours of
continuous digital talk time.
At 10% of charge capacity, the battery icon blinks.
At 3% of charge capacity, there are only a few minutes
of talk time left, the device sounds an audible alert,
displays a critical charge icon (
), and then turns off.
16
2A. Device Basics
SPH-M900.book Page 17 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:27 AM
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.
䊳
Phone Basics
Installing the Battery
See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose
any stored numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery cover and slide it away from
camera lens.
3. Carefully remove the battery from the device.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
2A. Device Basics
17
SPH-M900.book Page 18 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:27 AM
Charging the 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 Samsung-approved
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
䊳
Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet. The device turns on in with the screen
locked and indicates both its charge state and
percent of charge.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:
18

Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 51.
Turn Bluetooth off when not is use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 113.
Turn Wi-Fi off when not is use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On
and Off” on page 145.
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most
applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each
query drains your battery. See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 171.
Delete the Weather Widget from your Desktop. This
Widget updates information every 30 minutes; each
update drains your battery. See “Adding and
Removing Widgets” on page 26.
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you
have to. See “Flash” on page 107.
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time
reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your device is compatible with select TTY devices.
Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones.
Your device 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.

WARNING: 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 software used by PSAPs. This matter
has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.
