Using the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. Use only approved batteries and
chargers. Ask your local Samsung dealer for
further details.

align with the slots at the bottom of the phone.

2. Press the battery until it clicks into place. Make
sure that the battery is properly installed
before switching the phone on.

Removing the battery

Getting started

and holding the END key until the power-off
image displays.

2. Slide the battery lock towards the top of the

The service light on the phone flashes and an
alert sounds. When the system locates
services, the greeting message displays along
with the time and date. You can now place and
receive calls.

If the phone is out of service, the No Service

you cannot place and receive calls. You can try
again later when service is available.

3. When you wish to switch off the phone, press
and hold the END key until the power-off
image displays.

WARNING!

Do not switch on the phone when mobile phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.

Using the soft keys

Your phone offers a set of functions that allows
you to customize and use it. These functions are
arranged in menus and submenus, accessed using
the two soft keys. Each menu and submenu allows
you to view and alter the settings of a particular
function.

Your phone’s modes

Standby mode

Standby is the most basic state of your phone.
The phone goes into Standby mode after you turn
it on or whenever you briefly press the END key.
When your phone is in Standby mode, you will
typically see the greeting message and the current
time and date.

Press the END key at any time to return to
Standby mode. Be careful; if you are on a call
when you press the END key, the call disconnects
and the phone returns to Standby mode.

pressing the OK key and selecting from the
Contacts list.

Pause dialing

When you call an automated system, like a
banking service, you are often required to enter a
password or account number. Instead of manually
entering the numbers each time, you can store
the numbers in your Contacts, separated by
pauses.

There are 2 kinds of pauses that can be entered
on your phone:

P pause

•
sequence until you press the SEND key.

T pause

•
sequence for two seconds and then
automatically sends the remaining digits.

Storing pauses in a Contacts entry

To store a number in your Contacts that contains
pauses:

1. In Standby mode, enter a phone number you

want to store, such as the bank’s teleservice
phone number.

DTMF (Dual tone multi-frequency) number that
follows the pause.

For a 2-second pause(s), your phone transmits
the number that follows the “T” pause two
seconds after the connection.

“Sending DTMF” flashes on the display and the
transmitted tone sounds.

Adjusting the volume during a call

During a call, if you want to adjust the earpiece
volume, use the Volume keys on the left side of
the phone.

The image on the display shows all 8 levels; the
more bars, the higher level.

In Standby mode, you can also adjust the keypad
tone volume using these keys.

Answering a call

When somebody calls you, the phone alerts you
by ringing and blinking the service light.

If the caller can be identified, the caller’s phone
number, or name if stored in your Contacts,
displays.

There are 2 ways to answer a call depending on
your setting in the

Using caller ID

This feature tells you who is calling you by
displaying the caller’s number when the phone
rings. If the name and number are stored in your
Contacts, the corresponding name is also
displayed. If you call someone who has this
feature, your phone number displays on her/his
phone.

Call forwarding

This network feature allows you to forward
incoming calls to another phone number, even
while your phone is turned off. Activating Call
forwarding does not affect outgoing calls made
from your phone.

Note

: Contact your service provider to activate Call

forwarding.

Call waiting

Call waiting lets you receive a second call during a
conversation. Your phone notifies you of a waiting
call by beeping and displaying “Call waiting.”

Your network provides you with the option of
turning the Call waiting feature on and off, if you
have subscribed to the service. Call waiting is on
by default in the phone. If you choose to have a
undisturbed conversation, simply turn off the
feature for the current call.

Note

: If you do not respond to a Call waiting

notification, the phone will forward the call to
voice mail server or another number that you
have specified. Contact your service provider
for more information.

Note

: Contact your service provider to set up the

Caller line identification service.

Call functions

Three-way calling

This feature enables you to conduct conference
calls with 2 separate people at the same time. The
phone records both of them into the Outgoing
calls log and you are billed air time for each of
outgoing calls separately. Contact your service
provider to activate Three-way calling.

To place a Three-way call:

1. During a conversation, press the SEND key.
The phone places the other person on hold.

2. Enter the phone number for the third person,
and then press the SEND key. The phone dials
the third person.

3. When you are connected to the person, press
the SEND key again to begin your three-way
call.

If one of the callers (not you) hangs up, you and
remaining caller stay connected. If you initiated
the call and you hang up first, all 3 participants
are disconnected.

Entering text

At many times when using your phone, you will
need to enter text, such as when storing a name
in Contacts, creating your personal greeting, or
scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone using
your phone’s keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

T9 English mode

Getting the Most Out of Your
Reception

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on
the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you
of the current signal strength by displaying a number of
bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a
building, being near a window may give you better
reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes
of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically
activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability; you can also check it yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is
activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a
signal is found, your phone returns to Standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits
radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone,
the system handling your call controls the power level.
This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in
digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.

65

Health and safety information

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed
this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the
FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.

• Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

• Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain
or liquid spills.

If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the
power off and remove the battery.

Note

: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint

authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Faulty service may
void the warranty.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic
Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from
wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating systems
and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or their representative
to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF signals.

Note

: Always turn off the phone in health care

facilities and request permission before using
the phone near medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a

regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane
is in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone off when in a blasting area or in other
areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be
turned off. Construction crews often use
remotecontrol RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare,
your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include:

• Fueling areas such as gas stations.

• Below deck on boats.

• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

• Areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

• Any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Note

: Never transport or store flammable gas,

liquid or explosives in the compartment of
your vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your
Sprint PCS Invoice.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out
of your battery’s performance.

• Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery
chargers. These chargers are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
chargers voids your warranty and may cause
damage.

• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only
in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).

• Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or
in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

• Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery
clean.

• Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery.

• The battery may need recharging if it has not
been used for a long period of time.

• It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. It can be
recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.

• Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas
for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these
storage rules:

Less than one month:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries,
contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note

properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in
household or business trash may be prohibited.

Note

: For safety, do not handle a damaged or

and the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

Note

:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used
in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC
can require you to stop using the phone if such
interference cannot be eliminated.

Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protections Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.:
Publication Sales Division.

Cautions

Changes or modifications made in the radio phone, not
expressly approved by Samsung, will void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers.
The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex
piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster
or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint
approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

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

.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user
of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does
not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
phone models are tested at their highest value in
strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the
level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety
of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets
strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.

Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit estabilished by the FCC.
Tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g. at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC. The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head: 1.39W/Kg, Body-worn:

0.862 W/Kg.

For body worn operation, this model phone has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
when used with a Samsung accessory designated for
this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.

None-compliance with the above restrictions may
result in violation of FCC RF esposure guidelines.
