Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Antenna Care
Phone Operation

Safety Information

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, 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;
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 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.

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.
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.

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.

Battery Storage and Disposal

Low
To prolong the life of batteries, avoid exposing them 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. 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.

Note: If two or three batteries are loaded in the charging base, the batteries will charge one at a time. The main battery attached to the phone will charge first, the attached auxiliary second, and the battery in the rear pocket last.

Charging Batteries

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.
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, 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.

Pause Dialing

When you call automated systems like voicemail or bank by phone, a recorded message prompts you for PIN numbers, account numbers, etc. Pause Dialing can make using automated systems easy by allowing you to store these numbers in the same memory location as the automated system’s access 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

The pause occupies a one-digit space in your phone’s memory. Once you have entered a string of numbers and pauses (up to 32 digits, including pauses), store the string in the same way you store other entries.
