Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and MiniBrowser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip!
Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to ensure your levels are OK.
Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 150 minutes of continuous digital talk time (70 minutes in analog) or approximately 150 hours of continuous digital standby time (16 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1. Place the battery in the opening at a 45-degree angle with
the metal contacts at the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down on the battery until the latch snaps
into place.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you’ll lose everything you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use the Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Desktop Charger
When you’re ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Chargers and AC Adapter Chargers. To use the Desktop Charger provided with your phone:
Warning!
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Removing the Battery
To remove your battery follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any
stored numbers or messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up.
3. Remove the battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.
Section 2
1166 GGeettttiinngg ttoo KKnnooww YYoouurr SSpprriinntt PPCCSS PPhhoonnee
1. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the charger
holder and the other end into the electrical outlet.
2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.
A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.
A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon Battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Tip!
Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note:
You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether CDMA or analog cellular), 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 PCS Nationwide Network.
Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog cellular or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Analog Indicator Indicator
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other CDMA Networks
Analog Cellular Networks
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call quality will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web; however, all of your calls are still private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks,your phone will flash
Analog Roam and you will experience the same
quality provided by analog cellular carriers today. Although certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences including:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard on the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog cellular services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog cellular roaming.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you determine
which signals your phone accepts.
Setting the Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control your roaming experience:
1. From the main menu, highlight Roamingand
OK
press .
2. To select an option, highlight it and press .
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the
OK
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When
Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.
Analog Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an
analog roaming system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 500 names into your address book, with each name having up to five phone numbers. That’s 2,500 phone numbers – and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS Voice Command – you can have instant access to all of them.
There are three ways to update your address book:
Choose Sprint PCS Voice Command and receive a fully functional web-based address book where you can create and update your contacts for free at www.talk.sprintpcs.com.
If you don’t have a computer or Internet access handy, you can have Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up phone numbers for you and automatically add them to your address book. Just say, “Call operator,” and we’ll add two names and numbers to your address book for an additional charge.
Simply dial and press and say, “Add
OK
name.” You will then be asked to say the name and number you want to add to your personal address book. Your address book can store up to 20 names at once.
How It Works
1.
Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice Command and created your address book, all you do is press
OK
and press
. You’ll hear a tone followed by the prompt
“Ready.”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a neutral voice,
the name of the person or the number you’d like to call. You can say, “Call Jane at work,” “Call John on his wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up Bob.”
3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind
that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes not only your voice, but any voice, so others can experience the same convenience if they use your phone.

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Note:
Sprint PCS Wireless Web service will not work when roaming off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and may not be available in select affiliate areas.
With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and your wireless Internet-ready phone, you have access to the many wireless features:
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you to
view specially-designed text versions of popular web sites.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail lets you send and receive
e-mail quickly and easily and ensures you will never miss an important e-mail again.
AOL Instant Messenger Service lets you keep in touch
with family and friends via two-way instant messaging.
With Sprint PCS Wireless Web Short Mail, you can use
a person’s Sprint PCS Phone Number to send instant text messages from your Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone to their Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone – and they can send messages to you.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection allows you to
connect to the Internet or your company's network with a laptop PC or hand-held computing device and a

Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates let you receive daily

information updates, including weather, stock quotes and sports scores at the time you choose.
Your phone comes equipped with a MiniBrowser, which allows you to access up-to-the minute information through the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed text versions of popular Internet sites. Browsing the Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your phone is different than using a home computer because the amount of information is reduced (sites usually display only their most critical aspects) and most of the graphics have been removed.
The MiniBrowser connects to the Internet by placing a call. Note that appears on the display whenever a call is in progress, just as with a regular voice call. Service charges vary depending on your service option.
Launching a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser Session
Launching the Browser
To launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser:
Press the Mouse Key right in Standby mode.
- or -
1. From the main menu, highlight Wireless Web and
OK
press .
2. Highlight Launch Browser and press .
OK
The first time you use the MiniBrowser, you'll be prompted to enable the security feature. This automatic process could take 3-6 minutes to complete and it occurs just once. When the process is complete, you're ready to start using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home page is subject to change.
Following the security setup, you'll see the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page. This is the main page for the MiniBrowser and it gives you access to all the sites in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. The next time you use the MiniBrowser, you may not see the home page at first because the MiniBrowser will display the page you were viewing when you last exited the MiniBrowser.

OK MENU
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page
You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will launch without placing a call. This is because the phone stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a page that's not stored in the cache.
If the phone has been inactive for awhile and a new wireless Internet site has not been requested, the MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection will end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not stored in the phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that you are billed for several network connections within a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize airtime charges.
Web Guard
The Web Guard requires you to take an extra step when you launch or exit the MiniBrowser. To change your Web Guard setting:
1. From the main menu, highlight Wireless Web and

Setting up a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection
Getting Started
Your wireless Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone allows you to connect to a laptop PC, hand-held or palm-sized computing device to send and receive e-mail, access the Internet or your company’s network and more, without searching for a wall­mounted telephone jack. In just three steps, you can use your connectivity:
1. First, you’ll need a Sprint PCS Wireless Web
TM
Connection Kit (sold separately). For purchase information, see page 123.
2. Connect your laptop PC to your Sprint PCS Phone by
using the serial data cable. The cable adapter will connect to a hand-held or palm-sized computing device.
3. Finally, take a few minutes to install the Sprint PCS Dialer
software onto your computer using your CD.
For complete details on how to install and use this software, refer to the user guide in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit.
Placing a Call
To place a call while you’re connected to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web:
1. First, make sure the cable is connected properly.
2. Open the Sprint PCS Dialer software or application on
your computer and place the call.
The phone displays the number your computer is calling and a “connecting” message is displayed.
Once the call successfully connects, your phone’s display shows you information on the status of the data call.
Receiving Sprint PCS Wireless Calls
The most popular use for the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection is placing outgoing data/fax calls. But you can also set up your Sprint PCS Phone to receive (host) data and fax calls. Because each phone model is different, the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit doesn't include instructions for how to set up your phone to receive data and fax calls. Here's the procedure to set up your Sprint PCS Phone to receive a (mobile-terminated) data or fax call:
1. From the main menu, highlight Wireless Web and
OK
press .
2. Highlight Connection and press .
3. Highlight Data Only or Fax Only and press .
4. Once you've received the incoming data/fax call, you may

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is on, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to Standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below. To further limit RF exposure, you can limit the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user­programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
You may wish to dial a number other than 911 including “0” or a pre-programmed local number to a particular emergency response department. To save or edit customized emergency numbers, see “Using One-Touch/Two-Touch Speed Dialing” on page 33 or “Using Special Numbers” on page 97.
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks. Check with local service providers.

Note:
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint PCS authorized personnel should service your phone and its accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
Note:
If you really need to use your phone while you’re driving, use a headset, Speed Dialing or Voice Dialing.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving is illegal in some states. Even where it’s not, it can divert your attention from driving. Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
Make sure you know how to use your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
Dial to report serious
119
emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Tip!
Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
Note:
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations
Below deck on boats
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint PCS-authorized service center.
Special note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and voids the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Note:
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint PCS supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body­worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint PCS approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
The highest reported SAR values of the TP5200 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 0.90 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.40 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.73 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.62 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: BEJDB520. More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
Owner's Record
The model number, regulatory number and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment. Record the serial number in the space provided below. This will be helpful if you need to contact us about your phone in the future.

You are charged for completed calls to your Number from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated by either party. You will be charged peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the peak time periods applicable to your Service. You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods applicable to your Service. In addition to these usage charges, you may be charged for recurring monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges, other usage charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory assistance, call completion charges, optional features you select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related charges. Charges for most Services are incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of use rounded up to the next highest minute. You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the Number for each phone or other equipment that our records show you activated, no matter who actually uses or has possession of the phone or other equipment at the time Services are provided.
Voice Command
Sprint PCS Voice CommandSMis an optional service that allows you to place calls by using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command feature.
Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a call completed from your Number using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or activate the TALK or similar keys and end when your call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete another call without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate charge for that call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated. Airtime and applicable long distance charges will be applied to the entire length of a completed call initiated from Voice Command. Using Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice Command address book will incur additional charges. Details on charges for the Voice Command feature can be found in the marketing materials for this feature, by visiting www.sprintpcs.com or by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the charges accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges occurring before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change your Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.

Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to require payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured form of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing you for charges for Services or equipment, you must pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service provider, payments received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied to sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We may charge an additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day that payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked "paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by notifying Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. We may deactivate any Number before you receive notice of termination without liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan (1) your ability to terminate Services before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability to change to another Service Plan before the end of the term may be limited, and may result in a termination or activation fee, (3) you may be required to pay a termination fee, (4) we may not terminate Services without cause before the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause before the end of the term, you may be required to pay a termination fee. No termination fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service Plan within 14 days of activation of your Sprint PCS Phone. During the term we must give each other notice to terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the term, you may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice and we may, subject to this Agreement, terminate Services at any time, with or without notice.

Termination. General.
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you without liability (1) if you breach any provision of this Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges for Services), or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise. If you promptly cure the breach, we may, but are not obligated to, reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges for (a) Services provided before termination of a Number and (b) equipment, regardless of who terminates Services. If Services are terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, (i) the monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination, and (ii) you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes in your Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit before we start Services to your Number, or as reasonably practicable after the limit is imposed. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they are incurred. We may charge an initial ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL service fee, in addition to your recurring monthly service charge. We may suspend Services to your Number without prior notice to you when your account balance reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services are restored when you have paid any past due balance and pay a specified minimum amount to reduce your account balance below your Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount at any time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and the
minimum amount by any method authorized by Sprint PCS. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information about authorized methods of making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls that involve our live customer care services. If we provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis, Services and coverage may be limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even if they exceed the amount of your Account Spending Limit.
Deposits
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time to reflect revised estimated monthly charges based upon your usage. A deposit may not be used to pay any invoice (unless it is used to pay a final invoice) or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of interest on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services are terminated for any reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your deposit toward payment of outstanding charges and return any excess to you at your last known address within 75 days after termination of Services. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the money to you and returns it to us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of return and, during that period, we may charge a monthly servicing fee against the deposit balance. Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one-year period.

Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be obtained through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may not be immediately available in some Sprint PCS affiliate markets. Use of Wireless Web Services requires a wireless data compatible phone or certain other equipment (or both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the phone or other equipment. The Caller ID blocking feature is not available when using Wireless Web Services. For data calls (including Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that are attempted, but not completed, you are charged for the time during which the network attempts to connect the call. You are charged for time spent connected to the Wireless Web or Voice Portal, including time spent browsing on the Internet or Voice Portal and reviewing or scrolling through Internet information on-line while still connected to the Sprint PCS Network. Not all Internet sites can be accessed and you may receive an error message if you attempt to access a site that cannot be accessed through Wireless Web Services. You are also charged for Wireless Web connections to review your Sprint PCS account information. Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal data calls may not be available when you are roaming off the Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are not available to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit basis, you may be limited in the Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services available to you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our website at www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment compatibility information. Specific additional information about Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal Services, including pricing, included minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is available in our standard sales collateral for Sprint PCS Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal Services or at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint PCS is not a
publisher of third party content that can be accessed through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Sprint PCS is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services or other information is provided by third parties and accessible through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Neither Sprint PCS nor its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained through the Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities, or foreign government on Services. We also assess charges associated with regulatory mandates and obligations, such as Universal Service and Enhanced 911 service. If you claim any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document. Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax­exempt document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of the Sprint PCS Network are "roaming" calls. Your Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed and engineered to work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It works on another CDMA PCS provider’s system only when a roaming agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other provider. If your Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint PCS Network) and a wireless analog telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming agreements are in place between Sprint PCS and the other providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place roaming calls "manually" by using a valid credit card. If there is a gap or other

interruption of coverage within a Sprint PCS coverage area that prevents connection with the Sprint PCS network and your dual-mode phone is set to roam automatically when outside Sprint PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a Sprint PCS coverage area. Certain features are not available when roaming. Roaming rates may be different from and higher than the rates you pay for calls within your Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the Sprint PCS Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according to the practices of the roaming service provider. When roaming, you are subject to the limitation of liability provisions and other applicable rules imposed by the roaming service provider.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis. Interruptions caused by your negligent or willful actions, or by failure of equipment or service not provided by us, or by causes beyond our reasonable control, do not qualify for credit. We may provide you with an airtime credit of one minute for a call that is disconnected because of transmission limitations caused by atmospheric, geographic or topographic conditions and that you redial within one minute of disconnection. You must notify us within 24 hours of the disconnection to request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and returned as provided in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of the phones or other equipment. The only warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no liability in connection with the phones and other equipment or for the manufacturers’ acts or omissions.
Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are responsible for all charges for Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen equipment before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to provide evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police report or sworn statement). If the equipment is later found, we may require that you exchange it for another phone or other equipment before we reactivate Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information about automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number + OK, but Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving the information from the calling party.
TTY Access
A TTY (also known as 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. It is not possible to use your phone with a TTY.

ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, RELATED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE CUSTOMER OR BETWEEN THE COMPANY OR THE CUSTOMER, ON THE ONE HAND, AND EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED BUSINESSES OF THE OTHER PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list of qualified people maintained by the AAA. All expedited procedures prescribed by the AAA rules will apply, and each party will bear their own costs and attorney’s fees.
No discovery will be permitted, except that the parties will exchange, thirty days prior to the hearing on their dispute, all documents to be submitted to the arbitrator, including any reports or summaries, and a list of the names and addresses of those persons to be called to testify. Following exchange of this information, the parties may agree to waive a hearing.
The arbitrator will have authority only to award compensatory damages and will not have authority to award punitive damages, lost profits, or other non­compensatory damages. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision must not contain findings of fact or conclusions of law.
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including attorney’s fees.
Notices
You may get our current address for written notice by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. Written notice to you is sent to your last known address in our invoicing records.
