Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

䡵 Press the power button on top of your phone for

2 two seconds to turn on your phone.

Once your phone is on, it displays “Searching for service” that
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your
phone finds a signal, it automatically enters the standby mode—
the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin
making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.
When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to the
standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a
search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is
turned on).

Tip : The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when

you are in an area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone Off

䡵 Press for a few seconds until you see “Goodbye” on

the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery charger is connected).

Using the Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your 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 approximately 3 hours of continuous
digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 12 days of
continuous digital standby time (1 day in analog).

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 12

When the battery charge is getting low, the “Battery low. Please
recharge” message is displayed on your screen, and the phone
sounds a warning tone. When the battery has become too weak
to operate your phone, the message “Switching off. Please
recharge” is displayed on your screen.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode

affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery, replace the battery, or to access your
phone’s ESN (electronic serial number), you must first remove
the phone’s back cover.

Note: Turn the phone off before removing the phone cover.

To remove the back cover, press the release button, press your
thumb against the thumb grip, and slide the entire back cover
up and over the whip antenna.

To install the battery:

1. Insert the battery at a 45-degree angle with the label side

facing up into the cavity on the back of the phone. The
metal contacts must be aligned with and connected to the
metal prongs.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 13

2. Press down on the battery until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored

numbers or messages.

2. Remove the back cover by pressing and holding the release

button, pressing your thumb against the thumb grip, and
sliding the entire back cover up and over the whip antenna.

3. Pull upward on the lower end of the battery with your

finger tip and remove the battery from the phone at a
45-degree angle.

Charging the Battery

Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should
charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using
your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level
automatically turns off and you will lose all the
information on which you were just working. For a
quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the
battery charge indicator located in the right side of your
phone’s display screen.

becomes too low, your phone

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

Warning! Only use batteries approved by Sprint. Using the wrong battery

charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Using the Charger

To use the charger provided with your phone:

1. Install the phone battery in the phone.

2. Plug the prongs of the adapter into an electrical outlet.

3. Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the desktop

charger and insert the phone into the charger slot.
– or –
Plug the adapter directly into the charger jack on the phone,
if the charger stand is not used. (If the phone is on, the
screen briefly displays a “Charging” notification followed
immediately by a scrolling battery strength indicator. If the
phone is off, the screen displays “Phone off. Battery
charging”.)

4. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the phone from

the charger. (If the phone is on, the battery strength
indicator stops scrolling. If the phone is off, the screen
displays “Phone off. Charge completed”.)

It takes approximately 4 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.

Warning! Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery

connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge
itself over time.

TTY Access With PCS Service From Sprint

A TTY (Text Telephone), also known as a TDD (Teletype Device
for the Deaf), is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf or 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 Nokia phone is
equipped with a universal 2.5mm accessory jack that can be
used to connect the cable of a “cellular ready” or “cellular
compatible” TTY/TDD device to your phone. If this cable was
not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call

Customer SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications

PCS
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 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.

the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new
dual-band/tri-mode PCS Phone works anywhere on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other
networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with
other carriers and in limited areas where 1900
networks are available.

This section explains how roaming works and explores special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

MHz digital

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 40

Understanding Roaming

Roaming Indicator on the Display Screen

The roaming indicator on your display screen lets you know
when you’re off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
You can set your roaming mode to Sprint only, analog only, or
automatic, which then allows your phone to automatically
select the roaming mode when Sprint service is not available.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the enhanced Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive
when making calls while on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide

Network. You may not be able to access certain calling

PCS
features, such as PSC Voice Command or call waiting.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some calling features will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will
experience a few differences:

䊳 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out

and dropped calls.

䊳 Some calling features that are standard on the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, and
direct international dialing, are unavailable.

䊳 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to
the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While
roaming, you should periodically check your voicemail box
for new messages by dialing 1+area code+PCS

Phone

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 41

Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter
your pass code at the prompt.

䊳 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

䊳 Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your

phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the enhanced Sprint Nationwide

PCS

Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether
digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again
to reconnect to the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When you are using your phone in analog mode, the handset may

feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Setting Your Phone’s Roaming Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By
using the system menu’s roaming options, you determine
which signals your phone accepts. You can choose from three
different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode phone.

To set the mode:

1. Press Menu, scroll to Settings, and press Select.

2. Scroll to Roaming and press Select.

3. Scroll to Set mode and press Select.

4. Scroll to your preferred mode and press Select.

䊳 Sprint: Lets you make and receive calls on the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming.

䊳 Automatic: Searches for alternative wireless networks

when PCS Service is not available.

䊳 Analog only: After activating Analog only, your phone

operates in analog mode until you turn off the phone.
When turned on, your phone defaults to Automatic
mode.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 42

Controlling Roaming Charges Using

Guard

Call

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when
roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage
your roaming charges by reminding you when you make or
receive roaming calls. It also requires you to take additional
steps before placing or answering a roaming call. These
additional steps are not required when you make or receive
calls while on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS

To turn the Call Guard feature On or Off:

1. Press Menu, scroll to Settings, and press Select.

2. Scroll to Roaming and press Select.

3. Scroll to Call guard and press Select.

4. Highlight On or Off and press Select.

Note: Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are

roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To place a roaming call with Call Guard On:

1. From the standby mode, enter an 11-digit phone number

(1 + area code + number) .

2. Press . (The message “Roaming rate applies. Place call?”

䊳 Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent

on the speaker's voice.

䊳 You must say the name exactly as you said it when you

recorded it.

䊳 Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice

tags and use them in a quiet environment.

䊳 Very short names are not accepted. Use longer names and

avoid using similar names for different numbers.

Note: You must say the voice tag exactly as you recorded it. This may be

difficult in, for example, a noisy environment or during an emergency. You

the aid of accessories (hands-free device) to avoid capturing unwanted
sounds. Unwanted sounds may cause your phone not to recognize your
voice tag when you attempt to use voice dialing.
