Getting Started With PCS Service

Determine if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you received your device in the mail or purchased it at a Sprint Store,
the phone probably has been activated. If your phone is not activated,
please refer to the Start Here Guide included with your device.

Activating Your Phone

To activate your phone, follow the directions in the Start Here Guide that
was included with your device. Or visit

http://activate.sprintpcs.com and

activate your phone online.

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your PCS Phone are automatically transferred to
voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will
want to set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your
PCS Phone is activated.

To set up voicemail:

1. Make sure the phone is on. See “Turning the Phone ON and OFF” on

page 72 for details.

2. If the dialer screen is not displayed, activate the dialer screen by

pressing T on the device.

3. From the dialer screen, tap and hold 1 for two seconds.

4. Follow the system prompts to create your pass code, record your

greeting, record your name announcement, and choose whether to
activate One-Touch Message Access (a feature that lets you press one key to
access messages and bypasses the need for you to enter your pass code).

Note: The voicemail setup process may vary in certain Affiliate areas.

LED for charging

It takes approximately three hours to finish charging a battery that has
only enough power for data backup, but not enough for operation.

Section 2: Understanding Your Device

20 2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics

Note: Charge the battery at an ambient temperature in the range from

0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F). Depending on the operating conditions of the
device, charging may be interrupted even when the ambient temperature
is lower than 35°C (95°F).

Note: If the ambient temperature becomes too high during charging, the

Charging LED lights red and charging is interrupted. Charging is
automatically restarted when the ambient temperature becomes
appropriate.

Note: The battery may not be properly charged at low temperatures

(less than 0°C/32°F) in winter. If this is the case, charge the battery in a
warm room.

Note: If the device is used as it is just after purchase or after the device

is left without being charged for an extended period of time, the
remaining battery power may not be correctly indicated. Before using
the device, be sure to charge the battery until the LED for Charging turns
green.

Note: When the device has been connected with the AC adapter or

placed on the cradle, incoming calls do not cause vibration, even with
vibration on.

Note: As the battery nears a full charge, the LED for charging may turn

green and orange alternately.

Section 2: Understanding Your Device

Battery Life

The main battery has a limited service life. Repeated charging and
discharging of the battery will result in a gradual decrease in the
charging capacity of the battery. If a fully recharged battery operates the
device for a much shorter period than before, this indicates the end of
battery life. When battery life is over, replace the battery with a new one.

The life of the main battery can vary, depending on how the device is used
and ambient temperatures.

Tip: Unlike NiCad and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, charging the main

LiIon battery with some amount of power remaining hardly reduces the
maximum allowable operating time.

Note: Do not use the device at too high a temperature. The battery life

will become shorter than when used at normal temperatures.

Note: For safe disposal options of your Lithium Ion batteries, contact

your nearest Sprint-authorized service center.

Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the

disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Battery Operating Time

The main battery allows approximately 2.5 hours of continuous talk
time, approximately seven days of continuous standby time, or
approximately 12 hours of continuous PDA operation time.

Note: The maximum continuous talk time, standby time, and PDA

operation time are affected by backlight settings, service searching,
vibrate mode, game use, and browser use.

Note: The maximum battery operating time varies, depending on how the

device is stored and on ambient temperatures. Charging or using the
battery at low temperatures (less than 0°C/32°F) can cause a significant
reduction in the maximum operating time because of the characteristics
of a Lithium Ion battery. The standard maximum operating time is
restored when placed under room temperature conditions (25°C/77°F).

Section 2: Understanding Your Device

22 2A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics

Extending the Maximum Battery Operating Time

You can use the following methods to extend the maximum operating
time of the main battery:

䊳

Decrease the screen brightness. For the setting method, see “Adjusting
the Screen Brightness” on page 44.

䊳

Set the device so that screen brightness is automatically lowered when
the main battery is consumed. For the setting method, see “Selecting
Backlight Settings” on page 97.

䊳

Place the device into the power saving (low speed) mode. For the
setting method, see “Adjusting Power Settings” on page 100.

䊳

Set the device so that the LED does not blink when the alarm is set. For
the setting method, see “Selecting Sounds & Notifications Settings” on
page 96.

䊳

Switch off the sound function that produces various sounds, including
beeps generated at the time of key entry and tapping. For the setting
method, see “Selecting Sounds & Notifications Settings” on page 96.

Tip: When connecting to a personal computer, use the AC adapter to

conserve LiIon battery strength.

Section 2: Understanding Your Device

232A: Your PCS Phone – The Basics

Data Backup Time

When both the main battery and the backup battery are completely
discharged, data stored in the device will be lost. Immediately after the
battery icon indicates the low level or a warning message appears,
connect the AC adapter to charge the battery.

䊳

Data will be kept for approximately five days after the main battery is
discharged to such an extent that the device cannot be switched on.

䊳

The main battery and the backup battery discharge slowly even when
they are not used. The batteries will be completely discharged when
they are not used for an extended period of time.

䊳

It is strongly recommended that you save the device’s data on a
personal computer or a memory card. For the method of backing up
data, see “Backing Up Data” on page 179.

Note: When the device is left with a USB cable or a card connected, the

backup time may be reduced. When not using the device, remove
peripheral equipment from the device.

Note: If the device is left with the battery discharged for an extended

period of time, the battery life may be shortened. Recharge the battery
every three months, even not when using the device for a long period
of time.

TTY

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of
hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by
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.

Use the following procedure to make a setting for TTY:

1. Tap , then Settings. On the Personal tab, tap Phone, then the TTY

tab on the bottom.

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.
