Entering Text with Onscreen Keyboard

When you activate a field where you can enter text,
numbers, symbols, etc., you can either use the

via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use
this orientation.

Activating the Landscape Keyboard

Although the device will automatically rotate its screen
orientation to Landscape once the QWERTY keyboard

Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones.
Your device 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

PQRS

connector cable.

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 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.

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish
trusted connections between your device and another
Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a
passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while
bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Discoverable.

Your device must be visible to successfully pair
with an external device.

3. Tap Scan devices. (Your device will display a list of

discovered in-range Bluetooth devices, page 77.)

4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.

5. Enter the passkey or PIN code and tap Done > OK.

6. The external device will then have to also accept

the connection and enter your device’s PIN code.

䡲 Once successfully paired to an external device,

appears within the Status area.

Note: Due to different specifications and features of other

Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth­compatible devices.

Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time

process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.

To disconnect a paired device:

Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection
between the device and your Samsung Intercept™, but
retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point
when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no
need to setup the connection information again.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch the

previously paired device (from the bottom of the
page).

3. Ta p OK to confirm disconnection.

– or –
From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold

the name of the previously paired device, and

Disconnect.

select

Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur

automatically if the paired device goes out of range of
your Samsung Intercept™ or it is powered off.

To delete a paired device (unpair):

Deleting a device from your list removes its “connection
record” and upon reconnection would require that you
re-enter all the previous pairing information.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold

the name of the previously paired device (from the
bottom of the page). This opens the connected
device’s menu options.

3. Ta p Disconnect & unpair to confirm deletion.
