2 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

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 activation card included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

Setting Up Service

1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.

END

2. Press Unlock (right softkey).

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.

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).

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

WARNING

Use only Sprint approved or manufacturer 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

www .sp rin t.co m – click on the Shopping tab at the

top, then look under Phones & Accessories.

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 210 minutes of continuous digital talk time (up to 90 minutes in analog) or up to 168 hours of continuous digital standby time (up to 20 hours in analog).

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 powers down.

Note:

Tip:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

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

20 Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics

Installing the Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1. Remove the phone’s back

cover.

2. Insert the battery into the

opening on the back of the phone and gently press down until it is in place.

Phone Basics

Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics 21

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint or manufacturer approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

䊳 Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s

charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.

䡲 A red indicator light on the phone lets you know the

battery is charging.

䡲 A green indicator light lets you know that the battery

is at least 90 percent charged.

It takes approximately 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

TTY Use With 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

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 PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

⽧ Understanding Roaming

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Controlling 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/tri-mode

VI-290 by Motorola® works anywhere on the Nationwide

Sprint 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.

60 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam –.

Tip:

Note:

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

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will 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.

Note:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61

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:

䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,

fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇 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.

䢇 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you

are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 74.)

䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

䢇 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 an analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

62 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

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.

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.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 63

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual- band phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press .

䡲 Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

䡲 Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.

䡲 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.

64 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Highlight On or Off and press

Note:

Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit

number and press .

2. Select Roam Call ().

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press . (A message will display notifying you that
