Section 1A: Setting Up Service 3

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need
to do is unlock it.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the activation
card included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.

2. Press Unlock (right softkey).

Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey

text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,

the code is not visible as you type.)

Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits

of either your Social Security number or wireless phone number or try
0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at

1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

messages simply by pressing and holding ,
bypassing the need for you to enter your passcode)

Sprint recommends you enable your voicemail passcode.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

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

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 manufac turer to purchase
the connector cable.

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

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 PSAPs community
are currently working to resolve this.

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

tri-mode LX150 by LG works anywhere on the Nationwide
Sprint 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 69

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Anytime you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are
roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will be
displayed along with the text – Digital Roam – . If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will be
displayed along with the text – Analog Roam – .

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

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

Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a

higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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

Note:If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide SprintPCS Network

and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area where you think SprintPCS Service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnectto the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network.

Roaming

70 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
quality similar to that 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. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:

䢇

You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇

Some features which are standard on the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision,
and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.

䢇

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on
page 71.)

䢇

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

䢇

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.

Note: When usingyour phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.

This is normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your Voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By
using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which
signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual- band phone
to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > SetMode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press .

Roaming

䡲

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

䡲

Sprint Only

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

䡲

Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen
roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to
manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step
before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional
step is not required when you make or receive calls while on
the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Highlight Onor Off and press .

Note: Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you are

roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit

number and press . (You can also initiate a call from
the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)

2. Select Roam Call.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 73

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press . (A message will be displayed notifying you

that roaming charges will apply.)

2. Select Answer.

Note: If the Call Guard feature is setto On, you need to take extra steps to

make and receive roaming calls.

Using Data Roam Guard

When Data Roam Guard is enabled, you will be asked if you
want to continue using your browser or other online
applications when you are in a data roaming area. When Data
Roam Guard is turned off, your phone will establish or
maintain a data connection in a data roaming area without
asking you for permission.

To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Data Roam Guard.

2. Highlight Always Ask or Never Ask Again and press .
