Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the activation card included with your phone.

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock ().
Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey
text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone's display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you're viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
Tip: If you can't recall your lock code, try using the lastfour digits of either
your Social Security number or wireless phone number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211­4PCS (4727).

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
A TTY (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 Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer Service 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. Select Menu > Settings > Others > TTY.
2. Read the message and press Next().
3. Select Disable or Enable and press .
4. Select Enable to turn TTY mode on.
- or ­Select Disable to turn TTY mode off.

Note:In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

connected to the headset jack may be impaired.
WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends thatTTY 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.

Roaming Help (page 70)
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual band/tri-
mode CDM-120 works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Page 77
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 65
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with the text - Digital Roam -. If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with the text - Analog Roam - .
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS service plan includes roaming, you will pay a
higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming o n digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note:If you're on a call when you leave the Nationwide SprintPCS Network
and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think SprintPCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide SprintPCS Network.
Roaming
Page 78
66 Section 2D: Controlling 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 Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:
You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk, fade-out, and dropped calls.
Some features which are standard on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See "Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming" on page 67.)
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
Page 79
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you will 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 period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Using Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard.
