TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer  
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by  
first dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means  
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and  
landline 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.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal  
strengthinyourarea. Yourphoneinformsyouof thecurrentsignal  
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.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a

UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
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 0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in  
digital mode.  
KnowingRadiofrequencySafety  
The design of your 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  
updatingANSI’s1982standardforsafetylevelswithrespectto  
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).

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.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission  
before using the phone near medical equipment.

TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible  
interferencewithaircraftsystems, theU.S. FederalAviation  
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.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
Toavoidinterferingwithblastingoperations, turnoff yourphone  
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that  
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use  
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its  
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion  
or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are  
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

Acknowledging Special Precautions  
and the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
ThephonemaycauseTVorradiointerferenceif usedinclose  
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 (such as propane or butane)  
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).  
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection  
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn:  
Publication Sales Division.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved  
inthisdocumentcouldvoidyourwarrantyforthisequipment, 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  
accessoriescausedamageoradefecttothephone.  
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-WornOperation  
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 that the antenna is at least 1.9 cm  
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones  
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  
torememberisthateachphonemeetsstrictfederalguidelines.
