information you were just working on. For a quick
check of your 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-approved or Samsung-approved
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.

Using the Phone Charger

䊳 Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s

charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet.

TTY Use With Sprint Service

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text

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 service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first
dialing
with this number:

. Then provide the state TRS

866-727-4889.

WARNING

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 the
PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as data services, depending on
the available network.

Note

Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped
in an area where you think Sprint service is available,
turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
network.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network,
you may not receive on-phone notification of new

services such as messaging.

Data Roam Guard is turned off by default on your

Your phone features built-in Bluetooth technology, allowing you
to share information more easily than ever before. Bluetooth is

a short-range communications technology that allows
you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth
devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and
Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and
wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range
is usually up to approximately 30 feet.

84 Section 2I. Bluetooth

By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is turned off.
Turning Bluetooth on makes your phone “discoverable”
by other in-range Bluetooth devices.

To turn Bluetooth on:

1. Press Menu > Bluetooth > On/Off.

2. Select On and press to enable Bluetooth.

To turn Bluetooth off:

1. Press Menu > Bluetooth > On/Off.

2. Select Off and press to disable Bluetooth.

Bluetooth Status Indicators

The following icons show your Bluetooth connection
status at a glance:

– Bluetooth is hidden.

– Bluetooth is active and enabled.

– Bluetooth is connected to a device or

transferring data.

Using the Bluetooth Settings Menu

To access the Bluetooth Settings menu:

1. Press Menu > Bluetooth.

2. Set your Bluetooth options.

䡲 Select Visibility > Always Visible, Visible for 3 min, or

wireless ear jack. When an incoming call is received,
the ringer can be heard through the headset instead
of through the phone. The call can then be received
by pushing a button. While using the phone, you can

Section 2I. Bluetooth 85

use the headset instead of the phone by pushing a
button on the headset, the same as inserting a jack
into the phone. Increase or decrease the volume by

wireless car kit. Incoming calls ring to the hands-free
headset or device. Calls can be received by pressing
a button on the headset or device. For dialing, four
functions are supported: recent call dial, voice dial,
speed dial, and number dial. Increase or decrease
the volume by using the volume key on the side of
the phone.
