Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 18
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, replace the battery, or to access your phone’s 
ESN (electronic serial number), you must first remove the phone 
back cover.
To remove the back cover, turn the phone upside down, press the 
release button down, and push the back cover away.
To install the Li-Ion battery:
1. Insert the battery into the cavity at a 45-degree angle with its 
metal contacts aligned with the phone’s metal contacts.
2. Press down gently until the battery snaps into place.
Note:
Before removing the cover, always switch off the power and disconnect 
the charger and any other device. Avoid touching electronic components 
while changing the covers. Always store and use the device with the 
covers attached.
