Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

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

Welcome to Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press and hold

for a few seconds to turn the

phone on.

2. Press Unlock (

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 Sprint PCS Phone

number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call

Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your

Sprint PCS Phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1. From standby mode, press and hold

Message Access (a feature that lets you access

messages simply by pressing and holding

bypassing the need for you to enter your pass code)

voicemail account, Sprint recommends you enable your

voicemail pass code.

Sprint PCS Account Passwords

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your

personal account information, your voicemail account, and

the last 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 www.sprint.com.

Voicemail Password

You'll create your voicemail password (or pass code) when

you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on

page 198 for more information on your voicemail password.

Sprint PCS Vision Password

Samsung, you may elect to set up a Sprint PCS Vision Password.

Premium Services content and to protect personal

information on multi-phone accounts.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

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 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.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press Menu (

2. Select Settings (

3. Select Others (

) to access the main menu.

4. Select TTY Options (

A message is displayed when you enable TTY that says

911 Emergency Calling

IMPORTANT

NOTICE:

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency

calls by other means, including Telecommunications

Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and land line

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

Vision^SMMultimedia Phone MM-A880 by Samsung 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.

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

such as Sprint PCS 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.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network, 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 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.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS 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. 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.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using

Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are

roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the on-

screen 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. Press Menu (

) to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings (

3. Select Roaming (

4. Select Call Guard (

5. 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. Press to confirm Roaming Rate.

New Features

Your MM-A880’s voice recognition feature lets you perform

many of your phone's functions using just your voice. If you

have used VoiceSignal voice recognition on previous

Sprint PCS Phones, please review the following list of

enhancements.

ⅷ

Natural one-step commands - Instead of a series of

“Call Maria Work”: Dials the work number stored for

the contact entry Maria.

“Call 555-555-5555”: Dials the specified number.

ⅷ

One-step voice access to text messaging - The “Send Text”

command lets you use a single voice command to launch

the phone's text messaging client and specify a recipient.

For example:

Ⅲ

“Send Text to John”: Opens the text message client

and addresses the message to the mobile number

of the contact entry “John”.

ⅷ

One-step access to applications and menus - You can access

applications and common menus by saying “Go To”

followed by the application or menu name.

For example:

Ⅲ

“Go To Calendar”: Launches the “Calendar”

application.

Ⅲ

“Go To Downloads”: Displays the “Downloads”

menu.

commands:

Ⅲ

Call <Name or #>

Using Call <Name or #>

You can voice dial from your phone with a single command by

saying “Call” followed by a name or nickname 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.

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,

VoiceSignal 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 Contact 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 contact 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 contact 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 contact 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 fr equently mis-

recognizing 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 3 minutes.

Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

ⅷ

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 re-record the sequence.

To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:

1. Press Menu (

) to access the main menu.

2. Select Settings (

3. Select Voice Service (

4. Select Digit Dialing (

5. Select Adapt Digits (

) and press

to begin. (The

phone displays the first digit sequence.)

6. 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.”)

7. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no

background noises), say Yes.

8. If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems,

say No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits

again.)

146

Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services

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

9. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.

(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the

recording.)

10. 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.)

11. Repeat steps 6-9 for another six sets of digits. (After the

sixth set of digits, you will be half-way through the

session and the phone will ask “More Adaptation?”)

12. 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.”

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 half-way point.

Note:

Using Choice Lists

If VoiceSignal 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

displays a list of top voice recognition choices or

automatically dials the first number, without displaying a

mobile number or an email address, VoiceSignal chooses the

recipient, VoiceSignal prompts you with “Say the name.” Say

the name of a person in your contact list and, optionally the

type of number.

Multimedia FAQs

1. How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from

Sprint PCS Video Mail?

Multimedia Service lets you access high-quality video and

audio clips provided by external sources. Video Mail lets you

capture, upload and share videos that you personally create

with your phone's built-in camcorder.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Multimedia Service does not work while roaming off of the

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network or where service is

unavailable.

Note:

Section 2K: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player

191

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

5. 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.”

6. 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

Listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding

number will appear in the My Channels section.

7. Why are some channels already pre-loaded 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.

8. 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 see option “C” in

question 2 above.

9. 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.

When entering the specific channel number, channels 01 - 09

do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access

channel “07,” just press the “7” key.

Tip:

10. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the

word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?

192

Section 2K: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player

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

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.

11. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?

To cancel your Multimedia 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.

12. If I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into

the phone's headset jack, can I flip the phone closed

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 flip the phone closed and continue

playing the clip (likewise, if your phone is in “headset mode,”

a phone call will not become disconnected by flipping the

phone closed).

13. 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

With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service,

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 Sprint PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision 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

Sprint PCS Vision 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 Sprint PCS Vision

Sprint PCS Vision Connection Status and Indicators

Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your

Sprint PCS Vision connection through indicators which

appear at the top of the screen. The following symbols are

used:

Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is active (data is

being transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will

blink to indicate data transmission. Incoming voice

calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls can

be made, but the Sprint PCS Vision connection will

terminate.

is being sent or received). Though not currently active,

when dormant the phone can restart an active

Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is

learning how the phone works and how to care for it. This

section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help

you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.

Section 4A: Safety

247

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

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. Any time 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 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 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

248

Section 4A: Safety

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

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.

ⅷ

Blocking the internal antenna located in the upper right corner

will reduce signal performance.

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized

personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty

service may void the warranty.

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

Tip:

1-800-974-2221 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.

250

Section 4A: Safety

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:

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, 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.

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:

Ⅲ

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

Ⅲ

-4° F to 113º 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.

252

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

thatmay be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones

have been rated. Phones that are rated will have the rating on the

box. Your MM-A880 by Samsung has an M3 rating.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the

user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens

to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to successfully

use a phone that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid

compatible. Trying the phone with your hearing device is the best

way to evaluate it for your personal needs. Should you experience

interference when using your MM-A880 by Samsung with your

hearing device, Sprint suggests you promptly return the phone 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. Sprint further

suggests you experimentwith multiple phones (even those not

labeled with an M3 or M4) while in the retail store to find the one

thatworks best with your hearing device.

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:

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of

interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health

professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The

254

Section 4A: Safety

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

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

interference noise from wireless phones.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With

Your MM-A880 by Samsung

One way to minimize interference is to set the phone’s Display and

Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.

To ensure the minimum interference for your Main Display’s

backlight, follow these steps:

1. Press Menu (

Acknowledging Special Precautions and

the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close

proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop

using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.

Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must

comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a

copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269,

Attn.: Publication Sales Division.

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, antennas 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

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 Website

at www.fcc.gov.

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.

256

Section 4A: Safety

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

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 Vision Multimedia

Phone MM-A880 by Samsung® are:

AMPS mode (Part 22):

Head: 1.48 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.479 W/kg

Sprint PCS mode (Part 24):

Head:1.38 W/kg; Body-worn:0.546 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.

FCC ID number: A3LSPHA880. More information on the phone's

SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
