Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

 Press .

Once your phone is On, it displays “Looking for Service” which indicates 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 Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned On).

down animation on the display screen.

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

Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone - The Basics 19

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. It provides up to 4 hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 1.5 hours in analog) or up to 9 days of continuous digital standby time (up to 17 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 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 watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone at

an angle, making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the battery is inserted into the matching slot in the phone.

2. Press down until the battery snaps into place.

Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone - The Basics 20

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery:

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 completely.

3. Using the side tabs, pull the top of the battery away from the

phone and remove.

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged 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 will lose all the information 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 is getting too low, the battery icon (

) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint PCS-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.

Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone - The Basics 21

Using the Desktop Charger

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

To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:

 Plug the outlet from the desktop charger in the wall. Place your

phone into the desktop charger, making sure that it fits securely. If properly connected, you should see the charging lights.

 A red light on the desktop charger indicates that the battery

is charging.

 A green light on the desktop charger indicates that the

battery is at least 90 percent charged.

 A yellow light on the desktop charger indicates that there is

a problem charging the phone.

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

If a Travel Charger is used to charge the battery, multi-colored lights are displayed when the flip is closed. Red, Green, and blue lights are cycled during the charging process. When the flip is open, an animated battery icon is displayed on the screen. When the battery is completely charged, all lights are displayed continuously, or if the flip is open, the battery animation is stopped and the battery icon is displayed with all full bars.

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 PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing

Sprint PCS recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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 TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode

Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.

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

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 57

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

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

Roaming Indicator

Analog Indicator

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network

Other Digital Networks

Analog Networks Analog Roam

Tip:

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note:

Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 58

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

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

dropped calls.

 Some features which are standard on the enhanced

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on

page 59.)

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

that exist with conventional analog services today.

 Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will

need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.

Note:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Nationwide 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 PCS Nationwide Network.

When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 59

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

When you return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 60

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 can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Press .

2. Highlight Settings and press .

3. Press for Roaming.

4. Press for Set Mode.

5. To select an option, highlight it and press .

 Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When

Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.

 Roaming Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an

analog roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint PCS or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

 Sprint: This setting allows you to access the enhanced Sprint

PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Note:

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press .

2. Highlight Settings and press .

3. Press for Roaming.

4. Press for Call Guard.

5. Highlight On or Off and press . (A message confirming your

choice will display briefly.)

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 standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit

number and press . (You can also initiate a call from the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)

2. A message is displayed indicating that roaming rate applies.

Press

to place the call.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press . (A message will appear notifying you that roaming

charges will apply.)

2. Press to accept and answer the call.

Reminder:

If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls, even if you have selected the Analog setting (see page 60).
