Battery Capacity  
Using Your Phone’s Battery and  
Charger  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)  
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is  
fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.5 hours of  
continuous digital talk time.  
Use only Sprint-approved or Samsung-  
approved batteries and chargers with your  
phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or  
Samsung-approved battery and charger may  
increase the risk that your phone will overheat,  
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious  
bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
WARNING  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery  
icon (  
) blinks. When there are approximately two  
minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible  
alert and then turns off.  
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate  
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce  
the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Note  
Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved batteries and  
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through  
Samsung; or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also  
available at www.sprint.com.  
Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and  
charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Before Making Your First Direct  
Connect Call  
For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it  
must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer  
Service representative. See “Activating Your Phone” on  
page 3.  
About Your Direct Connect Number  
Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for  
your Direct Connect number:  
Register and Activate Direct Connect  
1. Separate numbers (DC Only) — Your Direct Connect  
number is a unique number (not your wireless  
number). It will be made up of three sets of digits  
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).  
1. Confirm the Direct Connect feature is currently  
activated on your account.  
2. Press Menu > Settings > Direct Connect > Update DC.  
This validates your Direct Connect service with  
the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.  
2. A single number (Mobile + DC) — Your Direct  
Connect number is the same as your wireless  
number (for example, 555-555-1234).  
3. Verify that Direct Connect is now active:

If the person you are calling has a single number  
for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use  
that 10-digit phone number to make Direct

asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this  
number in your contacts, choose Mobile + DC for  
the phone type.

numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to  
tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-  
digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens  
(for example, 555*555*1234).  
Tip  
Making and Answering Direct  
Connect Calls  
Making Direct Connect Calls (Phone  
Open)  
One way to easily ensure that your contact has your  
correct number is to call them so that they can save  
your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their  
contact information. Remember you will need all  
digits of the number to make a successful call. Also,  
if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for  
Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*)  
between sets of numbers.  
Tip  
You can make a Direct Connect call by entering a  
Direct Connect number manually or by selecting an  
entry containing a Direct Connect number in your  
Contacts or History. (For information on saving Direct  
Connect numbers to Contacts, see “Saving a Direct  
Connect Number” on page 56.)

Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display  
Screen  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode (page 84)  
Using Call Guard (page 85)  
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  
(
) along with the text – Digital Roam – .  
Using Data Roam Guard (page 86)  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the  
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using  
11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive voice calls when you’re  
off the Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band  
Z400 by Samsung® works anywhere on the Sprint  
National Network and allows you to roam on 1900 and  
800 MHz digital networks. This section explains how  
roaming works as well as special features that let you  
manage your roaming experience.  
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 Sprint Power Vision,  
depending on the available network.  
Direct Connect calls are not possible when you are  
roaming.

Using Automatic Speech  
You can use a voice dial tag to automatically dial a  
phone number in your Contacts. (A voice dial tag is a  
command you record and use to place calls without

Your phone’s Voice Services let you place calls using your voice,  
store voice reminders, and record memos right on your phone.  
This section includes easy-to-follow instructions for  
using voice-activated dialing and managing voice  
memos.  
2. Follow the voice prompts and recite the entry’s  
voice dial tag into the microphone.  
Record your commands in a quiet environment and  
without the aid of an accessory (for example, a  
headset or hands-free car kit).

the number you wish to call. For example, say “Call  
John Mobile.” The phone dials the number stored  
for the contact “John” with the label “Mobile.”  
2. Say “Call” followed immediately by a valid string of  
digits to be dialed, for example, say “Call 555 555  
5555.”  
3. If the correct number is repeated, say “Yes” to dial  
the number.  
If the location recognized or the name does not have a  
number stored in Contacts, your phone will play the  
message “No match found,” and then return you to the  
previous screen.  
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak  
one digit at a time—1-800 should be pronounced “One  
Eight Zero Zero.”  
If a name has only a single number, or if you know the  
name but are not sure which number to call, say “Call”  
followed by the name only. For example, say “Call John.”  
If the name is recognized and there is only one number  
for the name, your phone immediately places the call.  
Training Mode  
Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice  
characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high  
accuracy with their word recognition, so the Train  
Mode, with its Adapt Voice feature allows users to  
dramatically improve the phone’s accuracy by  
retraining of the onboard recognition software.  
If there are multiple numbers stored for the contact, the  
phone prompts you with “Please Choose?” and displays  
a list of options. You can select an option by saying it or  
by using your keypad.  
(If you are satisfied with the voice recognition system's  
accuracy, you don't need to use the Train Mode.)

Tips for using the Train Mode:  
using a normal tone of voice.  
Use the Adapt Voice feature in a quiet place.

continue to display the same information  
onscreen.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to  
speak.  
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

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.  
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 or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems 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.  
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.  
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
Note  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also

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  
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the  
air.  
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.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
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.  
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
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:  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
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.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-Z400 has an  
M4 rating.  
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  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
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 invoice.

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within  
30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about  
hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov,  
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements  
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil  
(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is  
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight or Keypad  
Light.  
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press  
.
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

Body-Worn Operation  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
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.  
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is  
at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when  
transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may  
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
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  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web  
site at www.fcc.gov.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
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  
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  
Measurements (NCRP).

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.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.
