TTY Use With Sprint Service

PQRS

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select 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 wireless service, please call Sprint via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this number:

1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu and press

2. Select Settings > More... > Accessibility > TTY.

WARNING

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.

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Using Call Guard

⽧ Using Data Roam Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band

M520 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming agreements have been implemented. This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Anytime you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ().

Remember, when you are using your phone off the

Tip

Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

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 Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Power Vision, depending on the available network.

Section 2D. Roaming 63

Roaming

If you’re on a call when you leave the network, your

ShiftShift

Note

call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National 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 time.

1. Dial 1 + area code + your wireless phone number.

2. When you hear the voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your voicemail passcode at the prompt and

follow the voice prompts.

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

64 Section 2D. Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Choose from three different settings on your digital dual-band phone to control your roaming experience.

1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu and press

2. Select Settings > More... > Roaming > Set Mode.

3. Select an option and press .

䡲 Automatic to seek service on the Sprint National

䡲 Roaming only to seek a roaming system. The

previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

䡲 Sprint to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network only and prevent roaming on other networks.

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Sprint National 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 Sprint National Network.)

Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.

Note

Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Settings

> More... > Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Read the message and when prompted, select

On or Off.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the

seven-digit number and press .

2. Press to confirm the Roaming rate notification

and complete the call.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Select Answer.

2. Press to answer the call.

Using Data Roam Guard

Depending on service availability and roaming agreements, your phone may be able to access data services while roaming on certain digital systems. You can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming off the Sprint National Network and try to use data services such as messaging.

Data Roam Guard is turned off by default for

Note

domestic calls on your phone. (However, you will have to take an extra step for international calls.)

To set your Data Roam Guard call notification:

1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Settings
