911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline 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.

The document display environment brings new levels of satisfaction to your browsing and document viewing experience by supporting popular file formats from your desktop environment in their native form without any conversion.

The interface also allows you to navigate your documents by simply touching your stylus to the screen, and then panning documents or zooming in or out to view every detail of your documents.

To pan (or “scroll”) to a different part of the document, simply stroke your pen across the screen in the direction you would like the page to move. To pan the page up, touch and hold your pen somewhere near the middle of the screen and draw a line towards the top, and then take your pen off the screen. You can do this repeatedly so that you can view any size document.

Further, you can “throw” the document across the screen, and it will continue moving after you have released the pen. This gives you time to start another stroke. This inertia can be used to save time while you pan around the document.

You can also zoom the size of the document, so that more or less of it is visible on the display. The tap-andstroke gesture for this is to tap your pen briefly near the middle of the

There is a menu of options available for Picsel Browser by tapping the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. Using the menu, you can open new documents, adjust the screen, configure the settings for Picsel Browser, or exit from the application.

Views

There are four main views in Picsel Browser that allow you to choose the documents you want to view. These can all be selected from the main browser menu.

Document View

At the heart of the Picsel Browser is the Document view. This is where you can see documents. You can pan (scroll) and zoom to read whichever part of the document you like. You can also move between the pages of longer documents by stroking your pen along the bottom of the screen, as if you were turning the pages of a book. You can also rotate the document view between “landscape” and “portrait” formats to suit your reading style.

Folder View

The Folder view allows you to explore documents stored on your device or memory cards, as you would on a desktop computer. You can look inside folders for more documents, or you can reorganize the ordering and appearance of the list using special options on the menu.

History View

The History view shows all of the documents you have looked at in the past. You can use this to remember where you've been or to return to the pages without finding an individual file again. You can also adjust the amount of time the history is recorded for, or delete everything from it by using Preferences.

Applications & Tools

Section 2F: Using the Phone’s Applications and Tools 87

Bookmark View

The Bookmark view allows you to keep a note of your favorite documents and Web sites so that you can return to them easily. You can add a document to this list using the menu option in the Document View, and can remove them using the option in the Bookmark view. There are also special options on the menu to sort the bookmarked documents into a convenient order.
