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 Welcome to Sprint brochure 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).

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 Sprint PCS Phone number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

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.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 1.8 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the batter y 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

To install the LiIon battery:

To install the battery, you must first remove the phone battery cover. To remove the battery cover, turn the phone upside down, press the release button down, and push the battery cover away.

Tip:

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

TTY UseWith Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, 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.

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.

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.

Note:

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

 Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

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

band/tri-mode VI-125 by LG works anywhere on the 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.

Roaming

Page 80

70 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

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

Roaming on Other 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 Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available , 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 Nationwide PCS Network.

Note:

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Tip:

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Page 81

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71

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 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:



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, Sprint 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. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 72.)



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



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 using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Roaming

Page 82

72 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint PCS Phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the

voice prompts.

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



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.
