“BATTER Y CHARGING -Power Off” is shown on the

20 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the Sprint PCS
R
Nationwide Network. Your newdual-band Sprint PCS Phone
TM
works
anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on
analog cellular and CDMA digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where
competitive wireless service is available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you
manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How RoamingWorks
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 cellular or digital mode. The
following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on
where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Analog
Indicator Indicator
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other CDMA Networks
Analog Cellular Networks
Roaming on Other CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other CDMA networks, your call
quality 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, however , all of your calls are still private and
secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will
experience the identical quality provided by analog cellular
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:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard on the
Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog cellular
services today .
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone for analog cellular roaming.

Using Sprint PCS Voice Command
With Sprint PCS, the first wireless provider to offer
innovative Voice Command technology , reaching your
friends, family , coworkers and teammates has never been
easier – especially when you’re on the go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
You can store all your contact’ s phone numbers, so you
can simply say the name of the person you want to call.
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize
voicemail passwords or try to dial while you’re driving.
You can call anyone in your address book – even if you
don’t remember their phone number .
It’s Easy to Start
Just dial or from your Sprint PCS
TM
to activate the service. You can dial or
Phone
to go through a Sprint PCS Voice Command tutorial
directly from your phone.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 500 names into your address book,
with each name having up to five phone numbers. That’s
2,500 phone numbers – 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:Go to www.talk.sprintpcs.com and receive a
fully functional Web-based address book to create and
update your contacts.
Use an Existing Address Book:Upload your contacts
from Microsoft Outlook
®
, Microsoft Excel®and other
personal information software into your address book for
no additional charge.
Call Directory Assistance: If you don’t have a computer
or Internet access handy , you can have Sprint PCS
Directory Assistance look up phone numbers for you and
automatically add them to your address book. Just say ,
“Call operator ,” and we’ll add two names and numbers to
your address book for our standard directory assistance
charge.
Use Voice Recordings:Simply dial or
and say , “Add name.” You will then be asked to say
the name and number you want to add to your personal
address book. Your address book can store up to 20 V oice
Recordings at once.
How It Works
1.
Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice Command
and created your address book, all you do is press
or . You’ll hear a tone followed by the
prompt “Ready .”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a natural voice,
the name of the person or the number you’d like to call.
For example, you can say , “Call Jane at work,” “Call John
on his wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up
Bob.”
3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind
that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes not only your
voice, but any voice, so that others can experience the
same convenience if they use your phone.
