Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Turning Your Phone ON

To turn your phone on, press for a few seconds.

Once your phone is ON, it displays “Looking for Service” indicating that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Standby mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to Standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned ON).

Tip : The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when

you are in an area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone OFF

Press for a few seconds until you see the powering down animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).

Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 2.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 216 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and

browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip : Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to

ensure your levels are okay.

Installing the Battery

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

1. Place the battery on the back of the phone, making sure that the

plastic tabs are aligned with the corresponding holes in the phone.

2. Gently push the battery down until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers

or messages.

2. Push the battery release latch up and pull the battery away from the

phone at a 45 degree angle.

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2A: Your PCS Phone - The Basics 22

Charging the Battery

Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can 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 upperright corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon (

) blinks and t he phone sounds a

warning tone.

Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel adapter or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

It is vital that you use only the Sprint-approved Travel Adapter specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.

To use the travel adapter provided with your phone:

1. Plug the adapter in the wall and the other end into the power

interface adapter on the bottom of the phone.

䊳 A red light and animated battery icon on the phone lets you know the

battery is charging.

䊳 A green light on the phone lets you know the battery is at least 90

percent charged.

It takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

Other Digital Networks

Tip : Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide

PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

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

dropped calls.

䊳 Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

Section 2: Understanding Your Phone

2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 43

䊳 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you should periodically check your voicemail box for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.

䊳 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)

that exist with conventional analog services today.

䊳 Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for

analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.

This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your 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 one of the three different settings (Automatic, Analog, and

Sprint PCS) to control your roaming experience:

1. Press for Main Menu.

2. Press for Settings.

3. Press for Roaming.

4. Press for Set Mode.

5. Press the navigation key up or down to select Automatic, Analog, or Sprint PCS.

6. Press to Save.

䊳 Automatic: This setting seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is

unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.

䊳 Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming

system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

䊳 Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint Nationwide

PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls. 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 Nationwide PCS Network.

To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:

1. Press for Main Menu.

2. Press for Settings.

3. Press for Roaming.

4. Press for Call Guard. Wait briefly until a message prompt

displays and then disappears from the display screen.

5. Press the navigation key up or down to select On or Off.

6. Press to Save.

䊳 If active, an extra step is required to make or take roaming calls. 䊳 If inactive, no extra step is required to make or take roaming calls.

Note: Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are

roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To Place Roaming Calls With Call Guard On:

1. From the main menu, dial the eleven-digit number. (You can also
