Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
It is vital that you use only the Sprint-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.
