The Samsung Eco-mark is used to effectively
communicate Samsung’s environmentally friendly
product activities to consumers. With the character ‘e’
from the word, Electronics, and the leaf expressing the
environment, this design presents a bud, the symbol for
new life. The product with this mark means an
environmentally friendly electronic product of
Samsung.

i

Reclaim™ is the first mobile phone in the U.S. built
using “Bio-Plastic” materials extracted from corn. This
biodegradable material makes up 40 percent of the
phone’s casing. The Reclaim™ has trace amounts of
Brominate flame retardant (BFR) and is free of polyvinyl
chloride (PVC), two factors that follow the
recommendations of leading green electronics
advisors. Overall, at least 80 percent of the Reclaim™ is
made up of recyclable materials. Reclaim™ meets
European standards for RoHS compliance, which
means the device has no Cadmium, Mercury,
Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls and
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers.

Creating a saved series of numbers with pauses is

Tip

very useful when entering data into an automated
system. For example, if accessing your bank
information requires dialing a toll-free number,
followed by an account number and then your PIN,
you could place a two-second pause after each
group of numbers to ensure that they would be read
correctly.

2A. Phone Basics 27

numbers after two seconds. (This is indicated with an

h within the number sequence.)

You can have multiple pauses in a phone number

TTY Use With Sprint 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 is compatible with digital wireless
phones. 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 service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first
dialing

For additional technical support you may call

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 software used
by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to
the attention of the FCC, and the wireless
industry and the PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access

Note

icon.

When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio
quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset
jack.
