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.

NOTICE:
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications

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.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new Sprint PCS
Voice Phone A560 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.

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.
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.

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. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Viewing History
You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of
the last 20 phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls you
placed, accepted, or missed. Call History makes redialing a
number fast and easy. It is continually updated as new
numbers are added to the beginning of the list and the oldest
entries are removed from the bottom of the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and
Contacts entry name (if the phone number is in your
Contacts). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may
only appear once on the list.

1. Press Menu (

Using Voice-Activated Dialing
Your phone features voice-activated dialing. You can call up to
20 stored entries by speaking the individual’s or company’s
name into the microphone. Using the voice-activated dialing
option requires that you first program the phone to recognize
the name of the individual or company you are calling.
Tips on recording names
ⅷ
Avoid recording similar names phonetically. If you record a
name similar to one that is already stored in a voice-dial
memory, the phone requests another name.
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
Avoid recording in a noisy place.
Speak clearly and naturally.
Avoid very long or very short names. Names with two to
five syllables are recommended.
ⅷ
If a voice dial entry does not properly connect, you may
need to record the name and number again.
Record Voice Dial tags in a quiet environment and without
the aid of an accessory (for example, a headset or hands-free
car kit).

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 phone 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 phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (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 Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS 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).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ⅷ
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.
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty
service may void the warranty.
Note:
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
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:
SM
2221 or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS 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 radiofrequency
(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.
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.
ⅷ

ⅷ
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, liquid 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.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ⅷ
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery chargers. These
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
ⅷ
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
ⅷ
ⅷ
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
Section 4A: Safety

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.

Cautions
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. Only use approved
batteries and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may
be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.
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.
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

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 Sprint PCS Voice Phone A560
®
by Samsung are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.12 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.737 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head:1.200 W/kg; Body-worn:1.140 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA560. More information on the
phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
