FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 2.0cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 2.0 cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

Understanding Roaming

In this Section

_ Understanding how Roaming works

_ Understanding the difference Between Roaming and Sprint PCS Network calls

_ Setting your Phone ’s Roam mode

_ Setting and using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS Phone ™ works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog cellular and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where competitive wireless service is available.

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

Understanding how Roaming works

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

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

_ Sprint PCS Nationwide Network -						and			are not displayed.
_ Other CDMA networks - only			displays.
_ Analog Cellular Networks - both					and			display.

Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks

When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call quality will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, however, all of your calls are still private and secure.

Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks

When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will experience the same quality provided by analog cellular carriers today. Although most calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences including:

_ You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls. _ Some features that are standard on the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.

_ There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional

10

analog cellular services today.

_ Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog cellular roaming.

Setting your Phone ’s Roam mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control your roaming experience:

1.From the Main Menu, highlight Roaming , and press, OK or press MENU 4GHI 2.Highlight Set Mode and press OK.

3.Press the scroll keys to display all options. To select an option, highlight it and press OK.

_ Sprint PCS:This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

_ Automatic:This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative system (for example, and analog cellular signal). The phone defaults to this setting at power up.

_ Analog:This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system. The Automatic setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Setting an Alert when roaming charges apply (Call Guard)

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. The following settings apply to Call Guard.

Call Guard

This feature makes it easy to control when you roam by reminding you when you make or receive a roaming call. 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 Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.

To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:

1.From the Main Menu, highlight Roaming and press OK.

2.Highlight Call Guard and press OK or press 2ABC. 3.Highlight Yes or No and press OK.

To Place Roaming Calls with Call Guard On:

1.From the Main Menu, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number. (You can also initiate a call from the Internal Phone Book, Call History, numeric pages or Sprint PCS Wireless Web messages.)

2.A message appears indicating that higher charges may apply to this roaming call. Press 1.-‘ to make the call. To Answer Incoming Roaming Calls with Call Guard On:

11

_ A message appears indicating that higher charges will apply to this call. Press 1.-‘ to answer the call. Remember if the Call Guard feature is set to Yes (On), you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls even if you have selected the Analog Only setting .

Setting the Time and Date in Analog mode

If the time has not been set since the battery was installed and you turn your phone on outside a Sprint PCS Service Area, you are prompted to enter the current time and date when a calendar or time related function is requested.

To enter the time and date when the Set Time and Date menu displays, press the appropriate keys on your keypad.

Fields must be two digits, for example “05:07A 01/01/2001.”

Using the battery

Battery capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained without any long term impact on the battery. The battery provides approximately 3.3 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hours in analog) or approximately 200 hours of continuous digital standby time (20 hours in analog).

The empty battery icon

Two to three minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), sounding an audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone will turn off automatically (after the two to three minute delay). If this happens your call will be ended. If you plug into a charging device, you can continue your call. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and make sure your battery is adequately charged.

Installing the battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:

1.Hold the battery so that the metal contacts on the base of the battery line up with the metal contacts on the base of the phone.

2.Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch from the battery latch.

3.Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into place.

Removing the battery

To remove your battery follow these steps:

1.Power off your phone by briefly pressing the END key.

2.Press the battery release latch (see illustration) and slide the battery away from the latch. 3.Lift the battery away from the phone.

Charging the battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery.

You should charge the battery as soon as possible to begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you’ll lose everything you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, an empty battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger

16

When you’re ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only Sprint PCS-approved desktop chargers and travel chargers. To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:

1.Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet. 2.There are three possible charging configurations. Choose the one that best suits your needs:

_ Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the front slot of the charger.

_ Insert a single battery (alone, not attached to the phone) into the rear compartment of the charger. _ Insert a single battery into the rear compartment and your phone (with battery attached) into the front compartment.

The LEDs on the front of the charger indicate the following:

_ A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.

_ A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.

_ A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor connection. Check the phone to make sure it is properly positioned in the charger. It generally takes about 3 hours to fully recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved Lilon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

To get the quickest charge for any battery: _ Turn the phone off.

_ Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of the charger. _ Do not put a battery into the rear slot of the charger.

_ When two batteries are in the charger, the batteries charge simultaneously, but charging time increases for both batteries.

_ Leaving batteries in the charger once fully charged will not hurt the batteries.
