Display icons: What they tell you

Display icons are all the graphic symbols that show up on your display screen. In short, they tell you what’s happening with your Sprint PCS PhoneTM. See below for a description.

Signal

No Service

In Use Roaming

Messages

Vibrate Analog

Battery

Measures your current signal strength. The more lines there are, the stronger the signal.

This means the phone is outside a service area. When this is displayed, you cannot use your phone.

Tells you a call is in progress.

If the icon is not displayed, you are on the digital Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. If it is displayed, you are on another service provider’s network.

Indicates you have messages waiting.

Indicates the vibrate feature is set to ON.

Indicates the phone is roaming on an analog cellular network.

Shows the level of your battery charge. The more black you see, the more power you have left. When the charge is low, this icon blinks and an alert tone is sounded. You will lose what you are doing.

Using the battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. Remember to fully charge your battery as soon as the charge becomes low in order to maximize your talk and standby times.

Installing and removing the battery

The battery snaps easily onto the back of the phone (bottom end first) for quick installation and removal. Make sure to turn the power off before removing the battery. Otherwise, you could lose stored numbers and messages.

Charging the battery

You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by checking the upper-right corner of your display screen. When the battery charge level gets low, the phone will beep and the battery icon will blink. A warning will also appear on your screen prompting you to recharge your battery. If the battery level gets too low, the phone will turn off automatically. A series of alert tones will sound just before the phone turns itself off. If this happens, unfortunately, you’ll lose whatever you were just doing. So watch that indicator and make sure your battery charge level is okay.

To charge your battery, you should use the standard AC adapter, or the optional dual-slot desktop charger or cigarette lighter adapter.

Note: Use only SANYO-approved accessories. Using unauthorized accessories may cause damage.

Charging with the AC Adapter

Use only approved adapter, with your Sprint PCS Phone.

1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.

2. Plug the other end into the bottom of your Sprint PCS Phone, with the battery attached.

Charging a completely discharged standard Lithium Ion battery takes up to three hours.

If your phone is turned on, the icon on the display will blink while charging. The icon will stop blinking when charging is complete.

If your phone is turned off, the icon on the display will blink and “BATTERY CHARGING —Power Off” will show on the display while charging. The icon will stop blinking when charging is complete.

When the battery is completely discharged, you may wait for several minutes until “BATTERY CHARGING” will show on display.

Using Your Phone: Basic operations to place and receive calls

Turning your phone on and off

When you’re ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on, check to see that the charged battery has been installed on the back of the phone or that you have an external power (ie; the cigarette lighter adapter, hands-free car kit or AC adapter) with the battery installed. Then, simply press 5 seconds and the banner is displayed. Once signal has been found, you’re ready to make a call.

POWER

. When your

phone is turned off, nothing is displayed on the screen.

Note: If

POWER

is pressed for less than one second, the phone will not turn off. This keeps your phone from being turned off accidentally.

Standby mode

Standby mode is the most basic state of the phone. The phone goes into Standby mode soon after you turn it on or whenever you press

END

. When your Sprint PCS Phone is on but no call is in progress,

the phone is in Standby mode.

When your phone has acquired service, the greeting banner will be displayed along with the date and time when in digital mode. The menu options will be displayed on the lower half of the screen. This is known as the Standby display or Standby mode. While in the Standby mode, press or of the Navigation key to highlight the menu option you wish to select, or enter a phone number using the keypad.

Power Save mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Power Save feature that will be activated automatically if your phone hasn’t been able to find service after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the phone’s battery char ge is conserved. The phone will automatically check for a service periodically. To manually prompt the phone to check for a service, press any key. A “Power Save” message on the display will let you know when the phone is operating in Power Save mode.

Making a call

Whenever you make a call, follow these simple steps:

1. First, check to see that your phone is on. If you see the display

indicators on the screen, that means the power is on.

2. Enter the phone number you’re calling.

Where you can use your phone

Your Sprint PCS Phone is dual-band, which means you can use it to make and receive calls in many places:

In any city where Sprint PCS provides service

On other CDMA networks and conventional analog cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented roaming agreements.

When you use your phone outside the digital Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, it’s called roaming.

If you’re in an area where Sprint PCS has implemented roaming with CDMA or conventional analog cellular providers, you will pay the roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where they apply.

Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have a roaming agreement in place, you will still be able to make (but not receive) calls using a credit card. This is called manual roaming.

What you will see

You should always check your phone’s display because it will let you know when you are outside the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and whether your phone is operating in analog cellular or digital roaming mode.

The chart below indicates what you will see, depending on where you’re using your phone.

(Analog Indicator)

(Roaming Indicator)

Sprint Network Other CDMA Networks

(“Digital Roam” displays.)

Analog Cellular Networks

(“Analog Roam” displays.)

Regardless of whether you are using your phone on or off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, you should always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number) when you make calls. (This does not necessarily mean you’ll be charged a long-distance rate.)

Calling experience

When you use your phone on other CDMA networks, your calling experience and call quality will be similar to what you experience when making calls from within the digital Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Although certain calling features may not be available, your phone calls are still private and secure.

When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your experience will be different. Analog cellular roaming will be similar to the quality provided by conventional analog cellular carriers today. Although you will still have the convenience of being able to make and receive calls, here are some differences you can expect:

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

Some calling features such as Caller ID and the message waiting indicator that are standard within the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network may be unavailable.

You will experience the same security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and phone number cloning) that exist with conventional analog cellular services today.

Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for analog cellular roaming than when you use it on a CDMA network.

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

If you need Sprint PCS Customer Service for any reason while using your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, dial 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Sprint PCS periodically implements new roaming agreements. To ensure your phone is able to roam everywhere Sprint PCS has roaming agreements, stop by a Sprint PCS Center periodically for a free roaming software upgrade. For a complete list of roaming cities, visit our web site at www.sprintpcs.com.

Setting your phone’s mode

Three different settings on your phone allow you to control you’re roaming experience. See page 46 for more details.

Call Guard

This feature reminds you when you are making or receiving a roaming call so you can control your roaming experience. See page 47 for more details.

User Options During a Call (In-call state/status)

During a call your phone provides you with access to all the menu items you have in the Standby mode. You will also notice two additional menu items or in-call options. The two in-call options (Mute, and three-way call) appear on your screen immediately after your call is connected. To select one of the two options simply highlight the option you wish to select and press

(See page 30 for detailed instructions on using Three-Way Calling.)

The voice quality of your Sprint PCS PhoneTM will always be at its best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception may be better near a window.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. (See page 7 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)

Understanding Power Save mode

If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal cannot be found, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually by pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any time Power Save has been activated.

Understanding how your phone operates

Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency range of 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz. When your phone is in use, the system handling your call controls the power level.

Radio frequency safety

In 1991–1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

The design of this Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.

Maintaining your phone’s peak performance

To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and satisfactory service – you should follow these rules:

For best reception, fully extend the antenna.

Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.

Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, turn the power off immediately and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, you should return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.

Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its accessories. Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.

Protecting your battery

For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:

Use only SANYO-approved batteries and AC adapter, cigarette lighter adapter, and desktop charger.

These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as well.

To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).

Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts at the bottom of the battery clean.

Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long period of time.

Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it will need to be replaced.

Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. Follow these storage rules:

Less than one month: -4˚F to 131˚F (-20˚C to 55˚C) More than one month: -4˚F to 95˚F (-20˚C to 35˚C)

Driving

Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states and countries. For your safety, become familiar with the laws and regulations for your area, and pull off the road and park if you need to make a call.

If you must use the phone while driving, purchase and have installed the optional hands-free car kit or the headset.

Disposal of Lithium Ion batteries

This product contains a Lithium Ion battery. Please ensure that disposal of this battery is in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell may explode. Do not open or puncture the battery; the released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin.

This substance also can be toxic if swallowed.

Following safety guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always follow any special regulations in a given area, and turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using your phone near other electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS telephones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. You should also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turn off your phone before flying

You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Restricting children’s access to your phone

Your phone is not a toy, and should not be played with by children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Turn off your phone in dangerous areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of any vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Cautions
