Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

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 up to 3.25 hours of continuous digital talk time
(up to 1.75 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon
appears. When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left,
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, and vibrate mode affect the

battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip:Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery

before it runs out of power.

Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone – The Basics 16

level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you

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 is getting too low, the low battery icon
( ) appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.

and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Charger

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely
rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf
or hard of hearing, or who have 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 PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer
Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first
dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this
number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY mode on or off:

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings and press .

3. Select Others and press .

4. Select TTY and press . (You will see a message on the display.)

mode. If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to
the headset jack may be impaired.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 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 PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

 Understanding Roaming

 Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

 Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode

SCP-200 by Sanyo works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and
800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features
that let you manage your roaming experience.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off
the Sprint Nationwide 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 Analog Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks

Digital Roam

Analog Networks

Analog Roam

Tip:Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide

PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a

higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be
able to access certain features.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 68

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some
features, such as Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you
can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the
following differences when using analog service:



You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.



Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, such as call waiting, and direct international dialing,
may not be available.



Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming” on the next page.)



There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.



Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need
to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog
roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide 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 Nationwide
PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is

normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you
may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages.
Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically
check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming
service area for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:



Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.

When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.

SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine
which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode
phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings and press .

3. Select Roaming and press .

4. Select Set Mode and press .

5. Select an option from the following and press .



Sprint Only

allows you to access the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.



Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS Service
is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.



Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming system.
The previous setting (Sprint Only or Automatic) is restored
the next time the phone is turned on.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 70

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and
Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges
by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings and press .
