Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

ࡗ

Understanding Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new digital dual-band

A580 by Samsung® works anywhere on the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other 1900

and 800 MHz 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.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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 ( ).

Remember, when you are using your phone off the

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using

11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Tip:

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note:

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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

However, you may not be able to access certain features, such

as Sprint PCS Vision or Sprint Power Vision.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your

call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you

think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and

on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

Note:

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

time.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your Sprint PCS 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.

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.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your digital dual-

band phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press

Ⅲ

Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an

alternate system.

Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming

system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is

restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Sprint allows you to access the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on

other networks.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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. 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Highlight On or Off and press

Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you

are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

Note:

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit

number and press

2. Select Roam Call (

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press

2. Select Answer (

If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra

steps to make and receive roaming calls.

charges apply for accessing the available network.

General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

ⅷ

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or

liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn

the power off and remove the battery.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece

of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,

bending, or sitting on it.

Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly

approved in this document could void your warranty for

this equipment and void your authority to operate this

equipment.

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized

personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure

to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to

Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee

connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon

any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical

emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks

or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.

Check with your local service provider for details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a

hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to

specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint

Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-

Tip:

2221 or by dialing #222 on your phone.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special

regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is

forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)

signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately

shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine

if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also

check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been

added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as

pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded

from external RF signals.

Section 4A: Important Safety Information

Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Note:

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible

interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to

use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of

interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is

in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in

a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios

should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF

devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially

explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could

generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily

injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.

They include:

ⅷ

Fueling areas such as gas stations.

Below deck on boats.

Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such

as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ⅷ

Any other area where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or

explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains

your phone or accessories.

Note:

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could

hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase

your Sprint PCS Invoice.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid

Device

Your Sprint PCS® Phone has been tested for hearing aid device

compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing

devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,

humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than

others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of

interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their

mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may

be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.

Phones that have been rated will have an “M3” or “M4” rating on the box.

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone A580 by Samsung has an M3 rating.

Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is

the better/higher of the two ratings.

Note:

The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between

your phone and hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level

of immunity of your hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.

The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to

experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid

devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare

professional for the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least

an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing aid and your

phone to determine probable usability:

ⅷ

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a

combined rating of six for “best use.”

Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even

those not labeled M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that

works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience

interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.

With the Sprint® 14 Day Risk Free Guarantee you may return the phone

within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With

Sprint PCS Vision Phone A580 by Samsung®

To further minimize interference:

ⅷ

There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the

telecoil setting.

ⅷ

Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the

minimum time interval:

1. Press Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight.

2. Select Main Display or Keypad and press

3. Select the minimum time setting (8 seconds) and press [menu/ok].

Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded

antennae may produce more interference.

ⅷ

Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.

Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s

performance.

ⅷ

Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless

phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.

It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve

counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries

with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.

Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint PCS®

Phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and

accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of

your phone. Use only Sprint- or manufacturer-approved

batteries and accessories found at Sprint Stores or

through your phone’s manufacturer, or call

1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at

www.sprint.com – click the Wireless link under Personal, and

then click Accessories under Shop the Sprint PCS Store

166

Section 4A: Im portant Safety Information

Online. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the

best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.

ⅷ

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in

temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C

to 45° C).

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high

humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

ⅷ

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used

for a long period of time.

ⅷ

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides

acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of

times before it needs replacing.

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest

Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,

the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned

on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use

your phone, 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 phone 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).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a

handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case,

holster or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint-approved

accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at

www.fcc.gov.

168

Section 4A: Im portant Safety Information

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy

absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring,

and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone

emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict

laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be

substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a

variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone

design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each

phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a

variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a

substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values

between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR

values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for

use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the A580 are:

CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.671 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.11 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 1.33 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.647 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.

FCC ID number: A3LSPHA580.

More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC

Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
