Using Key Guard

The Key Guard feature helps avoid accidental key presses
without blocking incoming calls or messages. Key Guard is
disabled when you receive an incoming call and is
automatically reactivated when the call is completed.

1. Press for Main Menu.

2. Press for Key Guard.

3. To di sab le Key Guard, press and hold for at least

two seconds.

Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 3.8 hours of continuous
digital talk time (up to one hour in analog) or up to eight
days of continuous digital standby time (up to 15 hours in
analog).

The Empty Battery Icon

Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level
gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let
you know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ),
sounding an audible alert and displaying a warning
message. If you continue to operate the phone without
charging, the phone will turn off automatically (after a
three to five minute delay). If this happens, your call will
end. If you plug into a charging device, you can continue
your call. Be sure to monitor the battery strength icon and
make sure your battery is adequately charged.

Section 2

22 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone

Installing the Battery

Your phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps
to install it:

1. Place the battery on to the back of the phone, making

sure that the three plastic tabs line up with the
corresponding holes on the phone.

2. Gently push the battery down on the phone until it

snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

Getting Started

2

To remove your battery for charging, or for another reason,
follow these easy steps:

1. So that no stored messages or numbers are lost, power

off your phone by pressing and holding the key.

2. Press the battery release latch and slide the battery away

from the latch.

3. Lift the battery away from the phone.

Charging the Battery

Your phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should
charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin
using your phone.

Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone 23

Warning :

Using the wrong battery
charger could cause
damage to your phone
and void the warranty.

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 indicator located in the upper­right 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 the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel
adapter or vehicle power charger to charge your battery.

Travel Adapter

Tip :

The Travel Adapter is not
compatible with any other
Samsung product.

The travel adapter is used to recharge the phone using a
simple plug in located at the bottom of the phone. When
the travel adapter is plugged in and charging the phone,
the phone displays a charging light and the battery icon
starts to blink. The phone can still be used while it is
plugged into the travel adapter, but this will cause the
phone to charge more slowly. To quickly charge the phone,
turn the power Off.

Section 2

24 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone

Using the Single Desktop Charger

When you are ready to charge your battery, it is vital that
you use only Sprint PCS-approved desktop chargers and AC
adapter chargers.

1. Plug the single desktop charger’s power cord into a wall

outlet.

2. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the

front of the charger.

The LED on the front of the phone indicates the following:

䊳 A red light indicates the battery is charging.
䊳 A green light indicates the battery is at least 90

percent charged.

䊳 A orange light indicates that the battery is operating

at a temperature that is too high or too low, or that
there is a poor connection. Make sure the phone is
resting in the charger.

It generally takes about three hours to fully recharge a
completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved
LiIon battery, it is practical to recharge the battery before it
becomes completely run down.

Getting Started

2

To get the quickest charge for any battery:

䊳 Turn the phone off.
䊳 Plug the phone with the battery attached into the

travel adapter.

䊳 Leaving the phone plugged into the travel adapter

fully charged will not harm the battery.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you are off the

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS Phone
works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on
analog cellular and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where
competitive wireless service is available.

This section explains how roaming works and the special features that allow you

Tip :

Remember, when you are
using your phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers
using 11 digits (1 + area
code + number).

Note:

You will pay a higher per­minute rate for roaming
calls.

Understanding How Roaming Works

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen will always indicate when you
are off the Sprint PCS Network, and whether your phone is
operating in analog cellular or digital mode. The following
chart indicates what will be displayed dependent upon
where you are using your phone.

Tip :

If you are on a call when
you leave the Sprint PCS
Network and enter an
area where roaming is
available (whether CDMA
or analog cellular), your
call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area
where you think
Sprint PCS Service is
available, turn your phone
off and then on again to

Network.

28 Understanding Roaming

Analog Cellular Networks

Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks

When you are roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your
call quality will be similar to the quality that you receive
when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You
may not be able to access certain calling features, such as
the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, but all of your calls are still private
and secure.

Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks

When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will
experience the identical quality provided by analog cellular
carriers today. Although some calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls. You will experience a few
differences:

are added to the beginning of the list and the oldest entries
are removed from the bottom of the list.

Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available)
and Internal Phone Book entry name (if the phone number
is in your Internal Phone Book). Duplicate calls (same
number and type of call) may only appear once on the list.

you are calling.

Tips on recording names

䊳 Avoid recording similar names phonetically. If you

record a name similar to one that is already stored in a
voice-dial memory, the phone requests another name.

䊳 Avoid recording in a noisy place.
䊳 Speak clearly and naturally.
䊳 Avoid very long or very short names. Names with two to

five syllables are recommended.

䊳 If a voice dial entry does not properly connect, you may

need to record the name and number again.

Programming the Phone for Voice Dialing

Programming your phone for voice activated dialing is
easy. The phone provides voice prompts and screen displays
to guide you through the recording process. To program the

Press for Record. The phone will prompt you to
say the name you want to program.

3. Wait for the beep and then say the name. For best

results, use names with at least two syllables, or use
both a first and last name. The phone stores the name
as a “first” sample, and then prompts you to say the
name again.

4. Respond to the prompt by repeating the name after the

beep exactly as you did the first time. The phone stores
the name as a second sample and then requests the
phone number.

5. Enter the phone number on the keypad.
