Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you received your SCP-200 by Sanyo in the mail or purchased it at a
Sprint Store, it probably has already been activated. All you need to do is
unlock your phone.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Start Here Guide

1. Press to turn the phone on.

2. Press Unlock(left softkey).

Note:To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey text that

appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s display screen. Softkey
actions change according to the screen you’re viewing and will not appear if there is no
corresponding action available.

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the code is not

visible as you type.)

Tip:If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your Social

Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If none of these work, call
Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

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 affectthe

battery’s talk and standby times.

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

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

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.

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

⽧ Understanding Roaming

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode SC P-200 by Sanyo works

anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint 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
Nationwide 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 Analog Indicator

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network
Other Digital Networks

Digital Roam

Analog Networks

Analog Roam

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

䢇

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

䢇

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

䢇

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

䢇

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

䢇

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 Nationwide 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 SprintPCS Service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint 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 Nationwide Sprint 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:

䊳

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

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

Setting Your 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 Modeand press .

5. Select an option from the following and press .

䡲

Sprint Only

allows you to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

䡲

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

䡲

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
Nationwide Sprint 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings and press .

3. Select Roaming and press .

4. Select Call Guard and press .

5. Select On or Off and press .

(You can also initiate a call from the Contacts directory, Call History,
or Messaging.)

2. Press or (or press Options [right softkey] and highlight
