few steps to activate your phone.

1. After turning the phone on, press > Web.

(There is no charge to use this service during activation.)

2. Follow the onscreen prompts to update your profile

and activate your phone. A message is displayed when the process is completed.

3. Your phone should power off and then back on. If

this does not occur, press and hold to power the phone off and then press and hold to power the phone back on.

4. To confirm your activation, make a phone call.

Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect 33

Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call

For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer Service representative. See “Activating Your Phone” on page 3.

1. Confirm the Direct Connect feature is currently

activated on your account.

2. Press > Settings > Direct Connect > Update DC.



This validates your Direct Connect service with the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.

3. Verify that Direct Connect is now active:



The icon should not be visible at the top of the screen.

About Your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number:



Separate numbers (DC Only) — Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).



A single number (Mobile + DC) — Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers



If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks

Note

If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates that Direct Connection is no longer active on your account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with Direct Connect functionality.

Important

When the Direct Connect feature is active, both the On/Off and Net Guard features are disabled (

Settings > More... > Data).

(*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose DC Only for the phone type.



If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that 10digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your contacts, choose

Mobile + DC for the phone type.

To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect number:



Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has a Mobile + DC or a DC Only icon, it is a valid Direct Connect number.

–or – Select a contact and press . “DC capable” will

appear below the valid Direct Connect number.

Making and Answering Direct Connect Calls

Making Direct Connect Calls (Phone Open)

You can make a Direct Connect call by entering a Direct Connect number manually or by selecting an entry containing a Direct Connect number in your Contacts or History. (For information on saving Direct Connect numbers to Contacts, see “Saving a Direct Connect Number” on page 48.)

Tip

Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).

One way to easily ensure that your contact has your correct number is to call them so that they can save your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their contact information. Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call. Also, if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*) between sets of numbers.

Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect 35

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 the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming

 Understanding Roaming (page 74)  Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode (page 75)  Using Call Guard (page 76)  Using Data Roam Guard (page 77)

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new dual-band LX400 by
