Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
The phone function’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The following chart indicates what
you’ll see depending on where you’re using your device.
Roaming
Indicator
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your device off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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 the phone function off and
on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode
Your PCS Device allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your device
accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from two different settings on your device to control your roaming
experience:
1. Tap Options on the Tools menu.
2. Tap General tab.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while
on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.
Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and
Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,
you will 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. Tapwhen 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.

charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming
charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls.

connection, see page 130.
Once connected to the email server:
New messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder,
Messages in the device Outbox folder are sent; and

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
®
ActiveSync
If you use ActiveSync®, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
, POP3, or IMAP4:
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync
The folders you create and the messages you move will then be
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the
Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family
for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and
copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages
while away from your computer.
If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created,
the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies
on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see
that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them
from the server. While this eliminates duplicate copies of messages, you
will no longer have access to messages moved to folders created
anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to
you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your
device or computer.

device was designed to give you.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 169168
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your device informs you of the current signal
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.
The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a
building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your device is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your device is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by
pressing any key. When a signal is found, your device returns to Standby
mode.
Understanding How Your Device Operates
Your device is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use
your device, the system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your device complies with updated NCRP standards
described below.
In 1991-92, 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 hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Device Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Don’t use the device if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and
remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a SprintStore or
call PCS Customer Solutions for service.
Note: For the best care of your device, only Sprint authorized personnel
should service your device and accessories. Faulty service may void
the warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Device
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Device While Driving
Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your device in the car:
Get to know your device and its features, such as speed dial
and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your device within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
stationary or before pulling into traffic.

SAR Information
Specific Absorption Rate
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested when being worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.56W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
U.S. Food and Drug Administration - Center for Devices and Radiological
Health
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems
are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority
to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health
hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,
FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the
type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
188 4A: Safety
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 189
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working
group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Commission
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions
about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can
get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with
built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These
types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency
energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the
user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA
and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety
limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the
studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had
been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so
as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use
wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results of such
studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between
them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three
years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide
reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,
but 10 or more years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between
the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors
develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of
