FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt­clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 3.6 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog).
Approximately ve 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 ve minute delay). If this happens, your call will end.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
Browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1.
Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch from the battery latch.

2.
Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into place.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.
Getting to Know
Your Phone
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:
1.
Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding so you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2.
Press the battery release latch and slide the battery away from the latch.
3.
Lift the battery away from the phone.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Adapter
Plug the connector of the supplied travel adapter into the serial connector at the bottom of your phone, and then into the AC wall outlet.
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.

Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger
You can purchase the optional dual-slot desktop charger from the local Sprint PCS Centers.
To use the desktop charger:
1.
Plug the desktop charger’s power cord into a wall outlet.
2.
Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the front slot of the charger. Or, insert the battery alone into the rear slot.
The LED on the front of the dual-slot desktop charger indicates the following:
A
red light
A
green light
indicates the battery is charging.
indicates the battery is at least 90 percent
charged.
A
yellow 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 slot.
It generally takes about four hours to fully recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is practical to recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
Turn the phone off.
Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of the charger.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off
the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new Sprint PCS phone works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Indicator
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other Digital Networks
Analog Indicator
Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network, such as Call W aiting, Sprint PCS Wireless W eb and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.
Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter
an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), 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 on again to reconnect to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Analog Networks
Tip: Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog 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 including:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the

It’s Easy To Start
Just dial from your Sprint PCS phone to activate the service. You can also dial to go through a Sprint PCS Voice Command tutorial directly from your phone.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 250 names into your address book and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS Voice Command – you can have instant access to all of them.
There are four ways to update your address book:
On the Web:
