Safety Information

Exposure
to Radio
Frequency
Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)

•

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*

•

ICNIRP (1996)*

•

*

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,

Antenna
Care

Phone
Operation

government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and
those standards).

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Normal Position:

Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation:

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

•

Extend your antenna fully.

•

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Safety Information

Caution:

All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if
a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains,
touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical
circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted
current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other
container with metal objects. When the battery is detached from the
phone: your battery is packed with a protective cover; please use this
cover for storing your battery when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:

•

Give full attention to driving–driving safely is your first responsibility;

•

Use hands-free operation, if available;

Batteries

Driving

•

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

•

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their

Electronic
Devices

pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

•

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

•

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the poten­tial for interference.

•

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.

9

Safety Information

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.

Aircraft

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch

OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

10

Safety Information

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; areas where fuel odors are present, i.e. if a gas/propane
leak occurs in a car or home; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.

Blasting
Areas

Potentially
Explosive
Atmospheres

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.

Your Sprint PCS Phone is designed for excellent durability under
normal use conditions. Protect your Sprint PCS Phone from water
damage that could result from spills or excessive exposure to rain.
Never submerge your phone.

Cleaning of this product should only be done with a damp cloth.
The use of chemical cleaners may harm the finish and integrity of
the radio housing and is not recommended.

Introduction to Batteries

Each battery is shipped in an uncharged state with a protective
cover on it. Before you can use your Sprint PCS Phone, you will
need to remove the cover from the battery and charge it.

Battery Covers

It is a good idea to save the protective cover to store and carry the
battery when not in use. The cover prevents objects from
touching the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of
injury or damage from a short circuit.

Using the Internal Charger

There is a battery charger built right into your phone. To make
use of the internal charger, you will need one of the two
available adapters, either an AC Adapter Charger or a cigarette
lighter adapter.

Keep in mind: When the internal charger is in use and the
phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. However,
talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not
charge while the call is in progress.

Low

Getting Started

temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a
good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
Never dispose of batteries in fire.

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Expert Performance (E•P®)Charging System

The E•P system enables your phone’s built-in charger to
communicate with installed batteries and tailor its charging
cycle to optimize performance. If you see

Invalid Battery

when you power up the phone, the built-in charger is not able to
communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. There are
several possible reasons for this message. The most likely one is
that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have
the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use
only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in their protective covers when not in use.

Charging Batteries

Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charging Base

The Dual-Slot Desktop Charging Base’s front pocket can charge
batteries while they are attached to your Sprint PCS Phone, and
the rear pocket can charge batteries separately.

Dual-Slot Desktop Charging Base Indicators

The three LED indicators on the left front of the Dual-Slot
Desktop Charging Base let you know the current state of any
charging batteries. The first light provides information on the
main battery attached to the phone, the second on the attached
auxiliary battery, and the third on any battery loaded in the rear
pocket.

• Red means the battery is charging.

• Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged.

• Green means the battery is charged within 90% of its capacity

and can be used. An additional hour of charging will bring
your battery up to 100% capacity.

Getting Started

• Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot be

charged.

Dual-Slot Desktop Charging Base Times

The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is
affected by a variety of factors, including:

• Temperature Batteries should be at or near room tempera-

ture when charging. To prolong battery life and charge
capacity, avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below

-10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a good idea to take
your phone with you when you leave your car.

• Inactivity New batteries, or batteries that have been stored

for long periods of time, may not charge properly. In these
instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.

• Extended Usage Over extended periods of time, batteries

gradually wear down and require longer charging times.
This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging
time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

Making the Most of Memory

Each phone number is stored in a “memory location”
numbered 01-99. You can arrange your Phone Book for
convenient recall by storing related numbers in groups of ten.
For example, store your ten most frequently called numbers in

®

locations 01-09, then you can use the Turbo Dial
them with the push of a key. You could store business numbers
in locations 10-19, family numbers in 20-29, friends in 30-39,

keys to call

and so on.
You can also store names to help identify phone numbers. If

someone you know has more than one phone number, you
could make the number easy to recall by storing the name with
a descriptive label. Your new phone makes it simple to attach
common labels to names in your Phone Book. See page 43 for
more information.

number. Separate each set of numbers with a “pause”– a special
character that tells your phone to wait before sending additional
numbers.

Storing a Number with Pause Dialing
