FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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.
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone
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 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 - A and R are not displayed.
_
Other CDMA networks - only R displays.
_
Analog Cellular Networks - both A and R 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

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.

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.

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
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
END
key.
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
know
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.
