Introduction.

Congratulations on your purchase of a Sprint PCS Phone. This phone is quite versatile because it lets you make and receive calls in so many places:

þ Anywhere within the nationwide Sprint PCS Network

þ On other select PCS CDMA networks

þ On analog cellular networks (that’s the old

cellular technology)

And although it comes standard with many exciting features, like voicemail, an internal phone book and Call Waiting, it’s still so easy to use. Just follow the simple steps described inside.

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

from your Sprint PCS Phone and we’ll

be happy to help. (In Southern California, 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.

This key lets you do lots of things:

þ To erase one character from the display screen,

briefly press it once.

þ To erase all of them, hold it down for one second.

Press this key to place and receive calls, to access a second incoming call (from Call Waiting) or to initiate Three-Way Calling.

Press this key to disconnect a call. You also can press it to exit out of a menu and return to the phone’s standby display.

þ To back up one menu level when you’re accessing

menu options, press it once.

þ To revert to the standby display, hold it down for

one second.

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.

Power Save mode.

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Power Save feature that will be activated automatically if your phone hasn’t been able to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone will automatically recheck for a signal periodically. To manually force the phone to recheck for a signal, press any key. A message on the display will let you know when the phone is operating in Power Save mode.

Basic functions.

Making a call.

Whenever you make a call, follow these simple steps:

1. First, check to see that your phone is on. If you see the display

indicators on the screen, that means the power is on.

2. Enter a phone number.

3. To place the call, you can either press or press the

dial in twice. (If the phone is locked, the number is restricted or there is another problem, you will see a help message.)

4. When you’re finished with your call, just press to

disconnect.

You can also make calls from your internal phone book (see page 36) or from your recent calls list (see page 49).

Correcting dialing mistakes.

If you make a mistake while dialing a phone number, press

to erase one digit at a time. You can delete the entire number at once by pressing and holding it down for at least one second.

Answering calls.

roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where Sprint PCS has agreements in place with other PCS CDMA service providers, you will be charged the travel rate. If you’re roaming in areas where Sprint PCS has agreements in place with conventional analog cellular providers, you will pay airtime plus long-distance charges, where they apply.

Your phone must be turned on before you can receive calls. When your phone rings, press to answer. You can adjust the ringer volume when you have an incoming call by turning the dial either direction. To disconnect the call when you’re through, press .

Where you can use your phone.

Your Sprint PCS Phone is dual band, which means you can use it to make and receive calls in many places:

þ In any city where Sprint PCS provides service

þ On select PCS CDMA networks (like the Sprint PCS Network)

from other providers

þ On conventional analog cellular networks

When you use your phone in any Sprint PCS Service Area outside your home service area, it’s called traveling. You are charged a simple, flat rate for all travel calls you make and receive. When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, it’s called

Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have roaming agreements in place, you will still be able to make emergency calls to 911 and calls billed to a credit card.

What you’ll see.

You should always check your phone’s display because it will let you know when you’re outside the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in digital mode. The chart below indicates what you will see, depending on where you’re using your phone.

D (Digital Indicator) R (Roaming Indicator)

Sprint PCS Network X Other PCS CDMA Networks X X Analog Cellular X

Analog Roam” displayed)

(“

Regardless of whether you’re using your phone on or off the Sprint PCS Network, you should always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number) when you make calls outside your Sprint PCS Home Service Area

. (This does not necessarily

mean you’ll be charged a long-distance rate.)

Calling experience.

When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your calling experience will be quite similar to what you experience when making calls from within the Sprint PCS Network. Although certain calling features may not be available, your phone calls are still private and secure, and in general, your call quality should be similar to what you experience with the Sprint PCS Network.

When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your experience will be much different. Cellular roaming will be of the same quality provided by cellular carriers today. Although you will still have the convenience of being able to make and receive calls, here are some differences you can expect:

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

and dropped calls.

þ Some calling features that are standard within the Sprint PCS

Network will be unavailable.

þ You will experience the same security and privacy risks

(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional cellular services today.

If you are on the phone when you leave a Sprint PCS Service Area and enter an area where roaming is available (whether PCS CDMA or analog cellular), your call will be dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS provides service, turn your phone off and then on again to speed acquisition of the Sprint PCS Network.

If you need customer service for any reason while using your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, just dial

from your Sprint PCS Phone. However, because you’re outside the Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local service provider’s customer service instead of Sprint PCS Customer Care. To be sure that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care, dial 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Using Caller ID.

This feature tells you who is calling you on your Sprint PCS Phone by displaying their number when the phone rings. If a caller’s name and number are stored in your internal phone book, the corresponding name is also displayed. If you call someone who has this feature, your Sprint PCS Phone Number will be displayed on their phone.

þ Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for

cellular roaming than when you use it on a CDMA network.

To block your Sprint PCS Number from being displayed for a particular outgoing call, just follow these steps:

1. Press .

2. Dial the outgoing phone number and press .

To block your Sprint PCS Phone Number from being displayed on all of your outgoing calls, just call Sprint PCS Customer Care by pressing (in Southern California, press ). Once you have permanently blocked your number, you can release the block for a particular call. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Press .

2. Dial the phone number and press .

Responding to Call Waiting.

If you’re in the middle of a call and you hear a beep, that means you have another call coming in. If you don’t answer the call within 10 seconds, you will be reminded of the incoming call with a second beep. To put the first caller on hold and answer the second call, press and then . Press again to switch back to the first call.

) to call Sprint PCS

Customer Care and have Call Waiting deactivated.

Using Three-Way Calling.

Three-Way Calling lets you talk with two different people at the same time. Simply dial your first number and press . When you have connected, press to put the first caller on hold. Next, dial the second number and press . When you’re connected, press again to begin your three-way call. When you use this feature, you will be charged normal airtime rates for each of the two calls you make.

Using Call Forwarding.

With Call Forwarding, you can have all of your incoming calls forwarded to another phone number – even if your Sprint PCS Phone is turned off. When Call Forwarding is activated, you can still make calls from your Sprint PCS Phone. To activate Call Forwarding, follow these steps:

1. Press .

If you don’t want to be interrupted during a particular call, you can temporarily disable Call Waiting. Just press

before dialing the number. Once you end that call, Call Waiting will be reactivated automatically. If you don’t want to be interrupted during any of your calls, before making any more, press (in Southern California, press

2. Enter the area code and seven-digit phone number to which your calls should be forwarded.

3. Then press . You will hear a tone that confirms you’ve activated Call Forwarding.

To deactivate Call Forwarding, press

. Once again, you’ll hear a tone to confirm

the deactivation.

Redialing calls.

To redial the last call you made from your Sprint PCS Phone, press . When the number is displayed, press again. You also can redial any of your last 10 calls using your recent calls list (see page 49).

1. Select “Features.”

Adjusting volume.

You can adjust the volume during a call by turning the dial. You can adjust the default setting for your phone’s ringer, key beep and earpiece volume using the “SOUNDS” menu.

Your Sprint PCS Phone alerts you when you have a new voicemail message in several ways: by displaying a message on the screen, by sounding five short beeps (if the ringer is turned on), by a flashing backlight, and by displaying at the top of your screen. Your phone will continue to display until you save or erase your new messages. You can have up to 30 new or saved messages and each can be stored for up to 30 days.

The phone book.

Your Sprint PCS Phone lets you store up to 99 names and phone numbers. Each entry can contain up to 32 digits, with an associated name of up to 12 characters. You can access your phone book in two different ways.

3. Scroll and select “Enter Pause.” (Pauses are represented on the phone’s display by “P.”)

4. Enter the number tones to be released after the pause (for

example, a password or credit card number).

5. Dial or save the entered number.

Linking memory locations.

Viewing a number.

Linking is an extension of the pause feature. It allows you to release a series of numbers (such as calling card numbers or passwords). You can link multiple phone book memory locations together when a number is too long to be stored with pauses in a single location (a maximum of 32 digits can be stored in any single location). While dialing the number, you’ll have to press the dial in to release the numbers in the linked memory location.

To insert links:

1. Enter the number to be dialed.

2. Select “Options.”

3. Scroll and select “Enter Link.” (Link dialing is represented on the phone’s display by “L.”)

4. Enter a one- or two-digit number corresponding to a phone book memory location. For example, enter “10” to release all of the numbers stored in memory location number.

If a phone book entry is too long to be displayed in its entirety on the phone’s display, you can view all 32 digits by doing the following:

1. Recall a phone book memory.

2. Select “Options.”

3. Scroll and select “View Number.”

Restricting a stored phone number.

You can restrict a stored phone number so that it can’t be displayed, dialed or erased unless you enter your lock code. To restrict a number, follow these steps:

1. Select “Features.”

2. Scroll and select “Security.”

3. Enter your four-digit lock code.

5. Dial or save the number that you have entered.

4. Scroll and select “Restrict #.”

5. Enter the memory location of the number you want to restrict, or scroll to the appropriate location.

6. Select “Restrict.”

To unrestrict a number, follow the same sequence.

Note: To restrict the entire phone book, select “Restrict All” in step five above.

The recent calls list.

Your Sprint PCS Phone maintains a list of the last 10 numbers for calls you made, accepted, missed or added. This recent calls list makes it easy for you to redial. Old entries will be bumped off the bottom of the list as new ones are added to the beginning of the list. You have two ways to access the calls list:

þ In standby, select “Phone List,” then “Calls List.”

þ During a call or in standby, select “Features,” then “Directory,”

then “Calls List.”

Depending on the operating mode and available features, each entry on the calls list may contain the phone number, name, length of the call and time stamp (when the call occurred). You may see one of the following entries when reviewing a calls list entry:

þ MISSED CALL: Indicates an unanswered incoming call if Caller

ID is available.

þ CALL FROM: Indicates a call you received and answered if

Caller ID is available.

þ CALL TO: Indicates a call you placed.

þ ADDED: Indicates that the number was added using the

scratch pad feature.

Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety.

Keeping tabs on signal strength.

First of all, the voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always be at its best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. (See page 16 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)

Understanding Power Save mode.

If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is too weak, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any time Power Save has been activated.

Understanding how your phone operates.

Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency range of 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz. When your phone is in use, the system handling your call controls the power level.

Radio frequency safety.

In 1991–1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

The design of the Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efﬁcient manner.

Maintaining your phone’s peak performance.

Protecting your battery.

To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and satisfactory service – you should follow these rules:

þ For best reception, extend the antenna fully.

þ Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.

þ Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.

þ Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.

þ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, turn the power off immediately and remove the battery pack. If it is inoperable, you should return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.

Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its accessories. Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.

For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:

þ Only use approved battery packs (model numbers TXBAT0121

and TXBAT0123 for Qualcomm models QCP-2700 and QCP2700F; model numbers QN-S004BPLS and QN-S003BPLH for Sony model CM-B1201SPR) and desktop and travel chargers (model number TXDTCO11O for desktop charger; model number TXTVLO1O4 for travel charger). These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as well.

þ To avoid damage, charge the battery pack only in temperatures

that range from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).

þ Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high

humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

þ Never dispose of the battery pack by incineration.

þ Keep the metal contacts at the top of the battery pack clean.

þ Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the

battery pack.

þ You may need to recharge the battery pack if it has not been

used for a long period of time.

þ Replace the battery pack when it no longer provides

acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it will need to be replaced.

þ Do not store the battery pack in high temperature areas for

long periods of time. Follow these storage rules:

Less than one month: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) More than one month: -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion batteries.

You can return your unwanted Lithium Ion batteries. For the Sony Service Center nearest you, call 1-800-222-SONY. For the Qualcomm Service Center nearest you, call 1-619-651-4028.

Note: In some areas, the disposal of Lithium Ion batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Following safety guidelines.

Using your phone while driving.

Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your attention from the road. Besides that, it is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes ﬁrst.

When using your Sprint PCS Phone in the car:

þ Focus on driving, not talking.

þ Use your hands-free car kit.

If you must use the phone while driving, please use One-Touch Dialing and Speed Dial.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

To operate your phone safely and efﬁciently, you should always follow any special regulations in a given area, and turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using your phone near other electronic devices.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. You should also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turn off your phone in dangerous areas.

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn off your phone before flying.

You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Restricting children’s access to your phone.

Your PCS phone is not a toy, and should not be played with by children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a ﬁre resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Cautions.

Any changes or modiﬁcations to your Sprint PCS Phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any other type will invalidate the warranty.

FCC notice.

The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care.

And last, but certainly not least, vehicles using liqueﬁed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
