damp, or dusty areas, which can damage electrical and
mechanical components. Avoid prolonged exposure to
temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or in excess of 35°C
(95°F).
䢇
Do not drop, shake or throw the phone or charger.
Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards and
the battery pack.

Do not use the phone in the vicinity of volatile gases.
Leave the area before using the phone. Failure to leave
the area can result in the risk of fire or an explosion.
䢇
Do not disassemble or modify the phone, charger, or
battery. Incorrect modifications, reassembly, or
tampering may result in malfunction or personal injury.
Handling the Phone
䢇
Do not use the phone while operating a vehicle.

Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 3.5 hours of
continuous digital talk time (up to 1.5 hours in analog).

icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service and vibrate mode
affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip:Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery

glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery
charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and
the phone sounds a warning tone.

TTY Use
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 wireless service, please call your
service provider 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:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
It is recommended 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 Understanding Roaming
⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
network available to you. Your new dual band PLS7000 by
UTStarcom works anywhere on the network available to
you and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 MHz
digital networks where roaming agreements have been
implemented with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Roaming
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the network available to you. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you
are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will
display along with the text – Analog Roam – .
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the network available to
you, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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 network available to you. However, you
may not be able to access certain features.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you and
enter an area where roaming is available , your 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 available to you.
68 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 may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to network service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
䢇
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇
Some features which are standard on the network
available to you, such as call waiting and direct
international dialing, may be unavailable.
䢇
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you may not receive notification until you
return to the network available to you. (See “Checking
for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 72.)
䢇
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping
and cloning) that exist with conventional analog
services today.
䢇
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.
Roaming
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the network available to you, 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 period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the network available to you, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.
70 Section 2D:Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your wireless phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can
determine which signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band
phone to control your roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings ().
3. Select Roaming ().
4. Select Set Mode ().
5. Highlight an option.
䡲

allows you to access the network available to
you only and prevents roaming on other networks.
䡲
Automatic seeks network service. When network
service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
䡲
Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Home or Automatic)
is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
6. Press Select( ) to assign the desired option.
Roaming
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71
Controlling Roaming Charges Using
Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the network available to you: 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 network available to you.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings ().
3. Select Roaming ().
4. Select Call Guard ().
5. Highlight On or Off and press Select ().
Note: Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are
roaming with Call Guard enabled.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-
digit number and press . (You can also initiate a
call from the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)
2. Select Roam Call ().
72 Section 2D:Controlling Your Roaming Experience
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press . (A message will appear notifying you that
roaming charges will apply.)
2. Select Answer ().
Reminder: If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra
steps to make and receive roaming calls.
