TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your device and TTY device

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.

Battery Usage
Data Saver
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your
battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
● Reduce your backlight on time.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Turn 4G off when not in use
● Turn off Sprint Hotspot (Wi-Fi hotspot) services when not in use. This is one of the
largest drains on your battery as it is not only transmitting a Wi-Fi connection to your
devices but is also doing it while using a 4G connection.
● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will
periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device.
Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the
storage capacity of any battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
Device Settings 57
● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming
your battery resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
● Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
