A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a

communicate via a telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone 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.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by
first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this
number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

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

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

R

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the

enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual band/
tri-mode PCS 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 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 44

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

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

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

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. You may not be
able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 45

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 PCS Vision and 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,
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 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 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 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 46

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using
the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your
phone accepts.

roaming experience:

1. Press (Menu) to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings ().

3. Select Roaming ().

4. Select Set Mode ().

5. To select an option, higlight it and press .



PCS Only:

This setting allows you to access the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming
on other networks.



Automatic: This setting seeks PCS Service.
When PCS Service is unavailable, the phone searches for
an alternate system.



Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog
roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint PCS or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned
on.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 47

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.
It also requires you to take an additional step before placing or

you make or receive calls while on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network.

3B: PCS Vision 85

Getting Started With PCS Vision

With your PCS Vision Phone and PCS Service, you are ready to start
enjoying the advantages of PCS Vision. This section will help you
learn the basics of using your PCS Vision services, including
managing your User Name, launching a Vision connection, and
navigating the Web with your PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service,
you're automatically assigned a User name. Then, when you use
PCS Vision services, your User name is submitted to identify you
to the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The User name
is also useful as an address for email and instant messaging, as a
way to personalize Internet services, and as an online virtual
identity.

Your a User name is typically based on your name and a number,
followed by "@sprintpcs.com." For example, the third John Smith
to sign up for PCS Vision services might have
[e-mail] as his User name. If you want a particular
User name, you can visit

www

.sprintpcs.com

and get the name you

want – as long as nobody else has it.

Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User name, that will automatically

become your PCS Vision User name.

Your User name will be automatically programmed into your
PCS Phone. You don't have to enter it.

Finding Your User Name

If you aren't sure what your PCS Vision User name is, you can
easily find it online or on your PCS Phone:



At www.sprintpcs.com: Sign on to your account using your
PCS Phone Number and password. Your User name appears
in the top banner, next to your phone number.



On your PCS Phone: Your User name should appear on your
phone's display screen in standby mode. You can also find it
under the Phone Info option in your phone's main menu.
