code is not visible as you type.)

Tip:

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either
your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If
none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS

Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

To turn your phone on:

 Press .

Once your phone is on, it displays “Information: Sprint / CDMA
system start” 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).

Tip:

The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you

powering down animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. The standard battery provides up to 3.0 hours of continuous
digital talk time in CDMA mode and up to 3.5 hours of continuous
digital talk time in GSM mode.

The extended battery provides up to 4.7 hours of continuous digital
talk time in CDMA mode and up to 5.2 hours of continuous digital
talk time in GSM mode.

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:

Tip:

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

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 Li-Ion 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 Sprint PCS Phone - The Basics 19

Removing the 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 Phone’s Li-Ion 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

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecom­munications device that allows people who are deaf or 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 supports
digital wireless transmission. 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
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press . (A brief

explanation of TTY Mode will display.)

2. Press to continue.

3. Press key up or down to select Enable TTY or Disable TTY

Note:

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:

Section 2B: Controlling Your Phone’s Settings 48

In TTY Mode when your headset is plugged in, your phone will display
the TTY access icon.

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected
to the headset jack may be impaired.

911 Emergency Calling

Sprint 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.

 Understanding Roaming

 Setting Your Phone’s CDMA Roam Mode

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While in CDMA mode, your new

digital quad-band Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other 1900
and 800 MHz CDMA digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers. While roaming internationally
in GSM mode with a SIM card installed, you can make and receive calls
on compatible 900 and 1800 MHz GSM digital networks.

This section explains how CDMA roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience. For more
information about roaming internationally in GSM mode, see Section
3D: Sprint PCS International Roaming on

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61

page 177.

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 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

in GSM Mode)

Tip:

Note:

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network (in CDMA mode), always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number). For more information, see page 177.

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

Roaming on Other CDMA Digital Networks

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

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 62

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network in
CDMA mode, 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 in CDMA mode:

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 Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.
