Antenna
The antenna on your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™
provides maximum reception without the inconvenience of
extending or retracting it.
WARNING -- CHOKING HAZARD -- ANTENNA MAY
BECOME DISLODGED
Attempting to remove or repeated twisting of the
antenna will loosen the materials securing it into
place and may reduce the child restraint nature of the
antenna. Once the antenna is loosened or removed,
only an authorized Sprint PCS Representative can restore
the antenna’s original integrity. Do not attempt to remove
or twist the antenna.
Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. The number of bars in the
Signal Strength icon informs you of the current strength. The
more bars, the stronger the signal.

Getting to Know Your Phone
Battery Capacity
Your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ is equipped with a
Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately
3.25 hours of continuous digital talk time (60 minutes in
analog) or approximately 130 hours of continuous digital
standby time (15 hours in analog).
Note: Long backlight settings affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there is about one minute of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers
down.
If the battery’s charge is completely run down, it takes 2 to 3
hours to fully recharge. It is not necessary to let the battery
completely run down before recharging.
To charge your batteries, use only Sprint PCS-approved charging
accessories.
Using the AC Adapter
To charge the battery, plug the AC Adapter into a standard wall
outlet and connect it to the phone via the I/O Connector on the
bottom of the phone. Alternatively, you can place the phone in
the charging cradle provided with your phone and connect the
AC Adapter to the back of the cradle.
The Battery Charge Status icon flashes during charging. When
the battery is fully charged, the battery icon stops flashing.

page 75), closing the Flip will also end the call.
Roaming With Your Sprint PCS 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 PCS CDMA networks and conventional analog
cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented
roaming agreements.
Note: When using your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ in
Analog Mode, the handset may feel warm due to the higher transmission
power requirements. This behavior is normal for the analog operation.
. If the phone is in Active Flip Mode (see
.
10
Using Your Phone
When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, it’s
called roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where agreements are
in place with PCS CDMA or conventional analog cellular providers,
you will pay the roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where
they apply. (See “Display Icons” on page 7 for network indication
icons.) Always dial using 10 digits (area code + number) when
calling from outside your Sprint PCS Home Service Area.
(See “Roaming” on page 49.)
Note: In areas where roaming agreements are not in place, you may still
be able to make (but not receive) calls using a credit card. This is called
manual roaming.
Setting Your Phone’s Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ allows you to control your ability to
roam. (See “Set Mode” on page 49.)
Calling Experience
When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your
calling experience and call quality will be quite similar to what you
experience when making calls within the Sprint PCS 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. 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.
11
User Guide
• Some calling features (such as Caller ID and voicemail
message indicator) that are standard within the
Sprint PCS Network may not be available.
• You will experience the same security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional
analog cellular services today.
• Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for
cellular roaming than when you use it on a PCS CDMA
network.
If you’re on your phone and leave a Sprint PCS Service Area, your
call will be dropped. When reentering a Sprint PCS Service Area
while on a roaming call, turn your phone off and on again to
acquire Sprint PCS Service.
If you need customer service for any reason while using your
phone outside the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, just dial 611
from your Sprint PCS Phone. However, because you’re outside the
Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local service provider’s
customer service instead of Sprint PCS Customer Care. To be sure
that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care, dial 1-888-211-4PCS.
