Nextel Direct Connect® on your Sprint phone offers instant, two-way push-to-talk (PTT) communication between you and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button.

Perfect for get-in get-out conversations such as checking status, getting information, getting directions or coordinating with others — fast. And Call Alert sends a repeating alert to other Nextel Direct Connect subscribers to let them know you want to reach them.

30 Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect

The following Nextel Direct Connect services are available:

䢇 Direct Connect

– Allows two-way radio

communication with other Direct Connect users.

䢇 Group Connect

– Create and manage groups in Contacts, “on the fly” or online to connect instantly with up to 20 other Direct Connect users at the same time.* (Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel or PowerSource phones.)

䢇 TeamDC

– Create a group online that allows nationwide group calling with up to 35 Direct Connect users (with Sprint phones only). With TeamDC, all members can access the most up-todate group list on their phone.

* Later in 2008, users will be able to include Direct Connect

users with Nextel phones in their Group Connect groups.

Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call

For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer Service representative. See See “Activating Your Phone” on page 3.

Register and Activate Direct Connect:

1. Confirm that the Direct Connect feature is currently

activated on your account.

2. Press S > Settings/Tools > Settings > Direct

Connect > Update DC.

䡲 This validates your Direct Connect service with

the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.

3. Verify that Direct Connect is now active:

䡲 The icon should not be visible at the top of the

display.

Important

Note

When the Direct Connect feature is active, both the On/Off and Net Guard features are disabled (

Settings > More... > Data Services).

If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates that Direct Connect is no longer active on your account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with your Direct Connect functionality.

About your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect Number:

䢇 Separate numbers (DC Only) — Your Direct Connect

number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).

䢇 A single number (Mobile+DC) — Your Direct Connect

number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect 31

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

䢇 If the person you are calling has a separate number

for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose

䢇 If the person you are calling has a single number for

both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that 10-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your contacts, choose

32 Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect

DC Only for the phone type.

Mobile+DC for the phone type.

Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks

(*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).

One way to easily ensure that your contact has your correct number is to call them so that they can save your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their contact information. Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call. Also, if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*)between sets of numbers

TTY Use With Sprint 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 service, please call Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first

58 Section 2C. Settings

dialing 771N. Then provide the state TRS with this number:

866-727-4889.

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

WARNING

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 the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new device works

anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on other 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.

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 Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as the browser or Messaging.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National

Note

Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you may 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 phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the

History keeps track of incoming calls, outgoing calls, and missed calls. This section guides you through accessing

and making the most of your History.

History is a list of the last 240 phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls you placed, accepted or missed. History makes redialing a number fast and easy. It is continually updated as new numbers are added to the beginning of the list and the oldest entries are removed from the bottom of the list.

Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and Contacts entry name (if the phone number is in your Contacts). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may only appear once on the list.

History only records calls that occur while the phone

is turned on. If a phone call is received while your phone is turned off, it does not appear in History.

If you return a phone call from the voicemail menu, it does not appear in your phone’s Outgoing Calls list.
