Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On



To turn your phone on, press and hold for approximately
two seconds.

Once your phone is on, you may see “System Searching,” which
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone
finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s idle
state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found,
your phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for

turned on).

Using Your Phone’s Battery

battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 215 minutes of continuous
digital talk time (up to 100 minutes in analog) or up to 180 hours of
continuous digital standby time (up to 20 hours in analog).

When the battery uses 95% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone – The Basics 12

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser

use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You
should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using
your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information 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.

Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or
vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Warning!

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone
and void the warranty.

Using the AC Charger

To use the AC Charger provided with your phone:



Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger jack on
the bottom of the phone and the other end into an electrical
outlet.



A red indicator light on the status LED lets you know the
battery is charging.



A green indicator light lets you know that the battery is at
least 90 percent charged.

It takes approximately 140 minutes to fully recharge a completely
drained battery. With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery,
you can recharge the battery before it completely drains.

manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

 Understanding Roaming

 Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual band/ tri-mode Sprint PCS

Vision Phone works anywhere on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and
800 MHz digital networks where we've implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 57

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off
the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your
phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your
phone.

Roaming Analog

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +
number).

Roaming on Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may
not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 58

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command,
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 features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, 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
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number. Press when
you hear your greeting then enter your pass code at the prompt.



There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.



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 then
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
Sprint 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.
