TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

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 via a telephone.

Your phone is compatible with selected 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
Service Solutions

SM

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. From the Standby mode, press .

2. Press .

3. Highlight Save Phone# and press .

4. Highlight Accessibilityand press .

5. Select TTY On or TTY Off and press .



Press (right softkey) during step 5 above for instruction.

Note: When you connect TTY devices, your phone will display in

TTY mode.

Note: 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.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off

the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new
dual band/tri mode PCS Phone works anywhere on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam virtually
anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is
available.

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

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 PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will
be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. You will experience a few differences:



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



Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.



Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by
dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press
when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at the
prompt.



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



Your battery needs recharging sooner 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 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 handset may feel

warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

(1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on 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 enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may
not be able to access certain features,such as PCS Vision.
