Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
WAR NI NG
Use only Sprint approved or Nokia approved batteries and
chargers with your Sprint PCS Phone. The failure to use a
Sprint approved or manufacturer approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your Sprint PCS Phone
will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Sprint or manufacturer approved batteries and accessories
can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also
available at

top, then look under Phones & Accessories.

Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) 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 or up to 15 days of
continuous digital standby time.
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

lControlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual-band 6165i
phone by Nokia works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog, 1900
and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works, as well as
detailing the special features that let you manage your
roaming experience.
68Section 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 PCS Nationwide 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.
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
Tip:
PCS Nationwide Network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).
Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will
Note:
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features,
such as Sprint PCS Vision.
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Note:
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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience69
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:
v You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
v Some features that are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing,
are unavailable.
v Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
v There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that are inherant to conventional analog
services today.
v 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.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
Note:
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
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.
70Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
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 passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.
