Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

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 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.  
Note:  
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,  
the code is not visible as you type.)  
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four 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 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not the  
account owner (if someone else receives the invoice for your  
Sprint PCS Service), you can get a sub-account password at  
Voicemail Password  
You'll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you  
page 172 for more information on your voicemail password.

PCS Vision or Sprint Power Vision password. This optional  
password may be used to authorize purchase of Premium  
Services content and to protect personal information on  
multi-phone accounts.  
For more information, or to change your passwords, sign on  
to www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer Service at

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger  
Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved  
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use  
a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-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!  
Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories  
can be 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

Battery Capacity  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It  
allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.

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

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.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
In This Section  
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  
A900M 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.  
79

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.  
To check your voicemail while roaming:  
1. Dial 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.

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  
.
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 Only 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.

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 an extra  
step to make or receive roaming calls.

Using Voice-Activated Dialing  
In addition to Sprint PCS Voice Command (see page 225),  
built-in voice recognition software allows you to say  
commands to perform common functions supported by your  
phone. There is no voice training required to use the voice  
recognition feature. You simply say the pre-designated  
command displayed on your screen in a normal tone of voice  
to perform the desired function.  
To activate voice recognition:  
1. Press and hold  
. (The phone prompts you to say a  
command.)  
2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following  
commands:  
Call <Name or #>  
Send Email <Name>  
Send Text <Name>  
Lookup <Name>  
Go To <App>  
Check <Item>  
When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone  
launches the associated application. If the phone does not  
hear a command within approximately eight seconds, it  
deactivates voice recognition without taking any action.

Voice Launch  
Voice Launch allows you to configure how to launch  
Voice-Activated dialing.  
To access voice launch:  
1. Press Menu > Settings > Voice Service.  
2. Select Voice Launch and press  
.
3. Select Talk Key or Talk Key and Flip Open and press  
.
Using Call <Name or #>  
You can voice dial from your phone with a single command by  
saying “Call” followed by a name or nickname (see contact  
list documentations for details) and (optionally) a label stored  
in your contact list, or “Call” followed by a valid phone  
number. You can also say “Call” by itself and be prompted for  
the name or number.  
Calling Contacts Entries  
To place a call using Call <Name or #>:  
1. Press and hold  
.
2. Say “Call” followed by the name and the label for that  
number. For example, say “Call John Mobile.” The phone  
dials the number stored for the contact “John” with the  
label “Mobile.”  
If the location recognized for the name does not have a  
number stored in Contacts, VoiceSignal will play the message  
No number available, John Smith, Mobile,” and then launch  
the Contacts application for that name.  
115  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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. If there are multiple  
numbers stored for the contact, the phone prompts you with  
“Which Number?” and displays a list of options. You can  
select an option by saying it or by using your keypad.  
Calling Nicknames  
Your Contacts list incorporates a field called “Nickname.”  
When you add a nickname to a contact, you can say the  
contact's name or nickname when using the voice features.  
For example, if you have a contact, “John Smith” stored in your  
Contacts list, and you add, “Dad” to the nickname field, you  
can call that contact by saying, “Call John Smith” or by saying  
Call Dad.”  
If your Contacts list contains a name that you have difficulty  
using with the voice features (such as some unusual or  
foreign names), you can add a nickname for that contact that  
spells out the proper pronunciation of that name.  
Tip:  
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)  
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your Contacts list:  
Say “Call” followed immediately by a valid string of digits  
to be dialed, for example, say “Call 555 555 5555.”  
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit  
at a time—1-800 should be pronounced “One Eight Zero  
Zero.”

Adapting Digit Dial  
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no  
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy  
accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty in  
achieving high accuracy with speaker-independent Digit  
Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to  
dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation.  
Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find  
no additional benefit to performing the Adapt Digit  
adaptation.  
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to  
your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on  
your phone unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.  
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently  
misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore the  
system to its original factory setting.  
Note:  
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to  
teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes  
about three minutes.  
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:  
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.  
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.  
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of  
digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the  
recording, you can say or select No when the prompt asks,  
Did the recording sound OK?” You will then be prompted  
to rerecord the sequence.

To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:  
1. Menu > Settings > Voice Service.  
2. Select Digit Dialing and press  
.
3. Select Adapt Digits and press  
to begin. (The phone  
displays the first digit sequence.)  
4. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a  
normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back your  
recording and asks you if the recording sounds “OK.”)  
5. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no  
background noises), say Yes.  
6. If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any problems,  
say No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits  
again.)  
7. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.  
(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the  
recording.)  
8. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat  
the recording process with the next set of digits. (After  
six sets of digits, the phone will ask you whether you  
want to do more adaptation. Answer Yes.)  
9. Repeat steps 6-9 for another six sets of digits. (After the  
sixth set of digits, you will be halfway through the  
session and the phone will ask “More Adaptation?”)  
10. Select OK to continue for six more sets of digits, or press  
for partial adaptation. When you are finished with  
a full session, you will reach a screen that reads,  
Adaptation Complete.”  
118  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
It is recommended that you perform the complete  
adaptation of Digit Dial at least once to achieve the  
maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation is  
performed, you can always return later and resume the  
process from the halfway point.  
Note:  
Resetting Digit Dial Adaptation  
1. Menu > Settings > Voice Service.  
2. Select Digit Dialing and press  
.
3. Select Reset Digits and press  
.
4. Press  
for OK.  
Using Choice Lists  
If your phone is not confident it has recognized a name or  
number correctly, it might display a choice list and prompt  
you with “Call?” followed by the first choice on the list. To  
confirm the choice, say “Yes”, or to hear the next choice, say  
“No.” You can also select the correct choice using your keypad.  
To cancel the command, say “Cancel,” or to say the name or  
number again, say “Repeat.”  
Enabling/Disabling Choice Lists  
You can customize whether the Voice Recognition feature  
displays a list of top voice recognition choices or  
automatically dials the first number without displaying a  
choice list.  
To enable or disable choice lists for Digit Dial:  
1. Menu > Settings > Voice Service.

Multimedia FAQs  
1. Will I know if I'm receiving an incoming call while I'm  
viewing or listening to an audio clip?  
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you  
are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the  
voicemail icon will appear on the screen.  
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it  
will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?  
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing  
of the available clips, with the clip's length appearing  
after the clip's title. In general, a clip's duration will  
depend on the story or content being provided, and can  
be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.  
3. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I  
have my phone?  
As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint PCS  
Network, you will have access to the audio and video  
clips.  
Sprint TV Service does not work while roaming off of the  
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network or where service is  
unavailable.  
Note:  
4. Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?  
It depends on the content provider. Some of the  
channels available through Sprint TV stream live  
content. Others provide media on demand with video  
and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day,  
but that are not “live.”  
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a  
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I  
know it has been purchased?  
The next time you access your media player's Channel  
157

Listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding  
number will appear in the My Channels section.  
6. Why are some channels already preloaded into the My  
Channels section?  
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of  
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels  
automatically appear in the My Channels section of  
your Channel Listings.  
7. If I don't subscribe to Sprint PCS Vision Plan, am I still able to  
view the multimedia clips?  
Yes; for service access charges, please consult your  
Sprint PCS Service Plan or visit www.sprint.com.  
8. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll  
through all the channels in my Channel Listings?  
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You  
can simply press this number to quickly access the clips  
located within that channel.

Tip:  
9. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the  
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?  
This happens when the media player is in the process of  
loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically  
occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network.  
10. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?  
To cancel your Sprint TV Service, visit www.sprint.com and  
sign on to My PCS with your account number and  
password. From this page you have the ability to cancel  
the service and/or any Available Channels to which you  
subscribe.

11. If I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into the  
phone's headset jack, can I close the flip while I am playing  
an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the clip?  
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the  
phone's headset jack, the phone automatically goes  
into “headset mode,” allowing you to close the flip and  
continue playing the clip. (Likewise, if your phone is in  
“headset mode,” a phone call will not become  
disconnected by closing the flip.)  
12. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?  
Yes; while you are playing a clip, you can use the up and  
down navigation buttons to surf to a different channel.  
A small pop-up screen will appear that tells you which  
channel you are watching as well as other channels you  
have access to. Use the navigation buttons to scroll  
through the different channels. Once you find a channel  
that you want to watch, scroll to it and press  
(or  
simply wait approximately three seconds) and the  
channel will begin loading.

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision  
This section will help you learn the basics of using your Sprint  
PCS Vision services, including managing your User name,  
launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with  
your phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you're  
automatically assigned a user name, which is typically based  
on your name and a number, followed by “@sprint.com.” (For  
example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision  
services might have [email protected] as his user name.)  
When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your user name is  
submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint PCS  
Network. The user name is also useful as an address for  
Sprint PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and as  
an online virtual identity.  
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your  
phone. You don't have to enter it.  
Finding Your User Name  
If you aren't sure what your Sprint PCS Vision user name is,  
you can easily find it online or on your phone.  
To find your user name:  
At www.sprint.com. Sign on to your account using your  
phone number and password. To display your user name,  
click on the My Personal Information menu, then click on  
PCS Vision User Name.  
On your Sprint Power Vision Phone. You can find your user  
name under the Phone Info option in your phone's Settings  
menu (Menu > Settings > Phone Info).

message when you launch the session. Though the browser is  
open, you are not currently in an active data session—that is,  
no data is being sent or received. As soon as you navigate to  
another page, the active session will launch and you will see  
the “Connecting...” message.

To change your Net Guard settings:  
Select Menu >Settings > Power Vision > Net Guard.

calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls  
can be made, but the Sprint PCS Vision connection

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.  
235  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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:  
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.  
Never transport or store flammable gas or 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.

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
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 Sprint PCS Online. "Buying the right batteries and  
accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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  
238  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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 A900M are:  
CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 0.920 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.687 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 0.656 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.962 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA900.  
More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC  
Owner’s Record
