digital talk time (1.5 hours in analog) or approximately 240
hours of continuous digital standby time (17 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: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and

browser use 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

䢇 A green light on the desktop charger indicates the battery

is at least 90 percent charged.

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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) by first dialing
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

. Then provide the

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.

䊳 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off

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 MHz digital
networks are available.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 45

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether
your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following
chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using
your phone.

Roaming Indicator Analog Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network

Other Digital Networks

Analog Networks

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the 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 digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making
calls on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may
not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 46

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 PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, 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 features which are standard on the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
PCS Vision, 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you
can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by
dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press
when you hear your greeting and enter your passcode 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 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.

This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 88

Activating Voice Recognition

Voice recognition allows you to say commands to perform
common functions supported by your phone. There is no voice
training required to use the voice recognition feature. You
simply say the pre-designated command displayed on your
screen in a normal tone of voice to perform the desired
function.

To activate voice recognition:

1. Press the navigation key left.

2. The phone prompts you to say a voice command. Wait for

the beep and then say one of the following commands:

䢇 Digit Dial

䢇 Name Dial

䢇 Voice Memo

䢇 Phone Book

䢇 Browser

䢇 Play Games

When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone
launches the associated application. If the phone does not hear
a command within approximately eight seconds, it de-activates
voice recognition without taking any action.

Note: If you want to use a different button to activate voice recognition,

press

for Launch Pad. On this menu, you can change

button assignments, including the button used to launch "Voice Dial,"
which is the voice recognition application.

Digit Dial

Digit Dial allows you dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North American
phone number by speaking the number naturally, without
pausing between the digits.

Tips for using Digit Dial:

䊳 Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.

䊳 When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say

each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 89

䊳 The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not
recognize numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800."
Instead, say "one-eight-zero-zero."

䊳 The phone recognizes only valid 7 or 10 digit North

American phone numbers.

䊳 If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly

when you are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to
your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for
some speakers. See the section "Adapting Digit Dial" for
details.

To place a call using Digit Dial:

1. Activate voice recognition by pressing the navigation key

left. The phone prompts you for a command.

2. Say Digit Dial. The phone prompts you to say the number.

3. Say a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number

naturally and clearly.

Note: If desired, you can say the number "1" before the number. This is not

required, the call is made both ways.

4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the
correct number, say "Ye s." You can also select the correct
number from those displayed on the screen by pressing

on the correct number. The phone will then dial the

number.

5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an
incorrect number, say "No." If there are other alternatives,
the phone will prompt you with the next one. You can
also press the navigation key up or down to select the
correct number from the Choice List, and then press
to dial.

Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make

sure that the number is a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number,
and then say the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still
doesn't understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.
