Of course, you can always call us if you need any help. Just press

Function keys.

The following keys perform these functions when pressed during most procedures.

Use the dial to select options and perform actions

indicated on the display. It can be scrolled up or down, or pressed in like a computer’s mouse. The dial also provides quick access to features like the internal phone book.

The message key lets you easily access voicemail messages.

Display indicators.

Different indicators are displayed based on the phone’s operating mode.

If this indicator is not displayed, you are in the Sprint PCS Network. If it is displayed (it may or may not be flashing), you are on another service provider’s network.

The three characters in the upper-left corner indicate the phone book memory location number (for example, L01), recent calls list number (for example, C07) and feature menu number (for example, F01).

Indicates that your Sprint PCS Phone is operating in digital mode. If this indicator is not displayed, either your phone is operating in analog mode or no service is available.

Measures your current signal strength. More lines means more signal strength.

This means the phone is outside service areas. When this is displayed, you cannot use your phone.

Tells you a call is in progress.

Indicates when you have messages waiting.

Shows the level of your battery charge. The more black you see, the greater the charge.

You can move the dial up to scroll through

menu options.

You can move the dial shuttle down to scroll through

menu items.

Push the dial in to select menu items and features.

Using the battery.

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Remember to fully charge your battery as soon as the charge becomes low in order to maximize your talk time and standby time.

Installing and removing the battery.

The battery pack snaps easily onto the back of the phone (bottom end first) for quick installation and removal. Make sure to turn the power off before removing the battery. Otherwise, you could lose stored numbers and messages.

Charging the battery.

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged just by checking the upper-right corner of your phone’s display.

When the battery charge level gets low, the battery sensor will let you know by displaying the screen icon and sounding a tone. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will turn off automatically. If this happens, unfortunately, you’ll lose whatever you were just doing. So watch that indicator and make sure your level is okay.

To charge your battery, you should use the standard AC adapter, or the optional dual port desktop charger, travel charger or rapid charging cigarette lighter adapter. Using unauthorized ones could cause damage. (The AC adapter is described in the next section. For more informa tio n o n th e de sk top ch arg er, travel charger and rapid charging cigarette lighter adapter, see the product user guide for each.)

Charging with the AC adapter.

Turning your phone on and off.

Only use manufacturer-approved chargers and adapters with your Sprint PCS Phone. Using an unauthorized one could cause damage.

1. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

2. Plug the other end into the bottom of your Sprint PCS Phone, with the battery attached.

Charging a completely discharged standard Lithium Ion battery takes up to five hours.

If your phone is turned on, you’ll see “CH” in the upper-left corner of the display. It’s telling you that the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, “FCH” will be displayed in the upper-left corner.

If your phone is turned off, the display will show charging status. “Battery is Charging” or “Charging is Complete” will be displayed.

When you’re ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on, check to see that the charged battery has been installed on the back of the phone or that you have external power (meaning the rapid charging cigarette lighter adapter, hands-free car kit, travel charger or AC adapter). Press for a few seconds until you see “Looking for service” on the screen.

To turn your phone off, press for a few seconds until “Powering Off ” is displayed. Then release . When your phone is turned off, nothing is displayed on the screen (unless you are charging your battery).

Note: If is pressed for less than one second, the phone will not turn off. This keeps your phone from being turned off accidentally.

Standby status.

Standby is the most basic state of the phone. The phone goes into standby status soon after you turn it on or whenever you press

. When your phone is in standby status, you will typically see the banner (that’s the message that’s displayed when you turn on your phone). You’ll also have access to the phone’s directory and features.
