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.

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.

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

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 Indicator Indicator
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital / Analog Networks
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 and 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 and 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.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 59
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls.

This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
