Using the Battery and Charger  
Battery Capacity  
Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.  
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.  
The battery provides approximately 3 hours of continuous  
digital talk time (1.5 hours in analog) or approximately 240  
hours of continuous digital standby time (17 hours in analog).  
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 powers down.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and  
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the  
battery before it runs out of power.  
Installing the Battery  
Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps  
to install it:  
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the  
phone, making sure the plastic tab on the back is inserted  
into the matching slot in the phone.

battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns  
off. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at  
the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of  
your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too

Using the Desktop Charger  
It is vital that you use only the PCS-approved Desktop Charger  
specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized  
accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your  
warranty.  
To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:  
Plug the outlet from the desktop charger in the wall. Place your  
phone into the desktop charger, making sure that it fits  
securely. If properly connected, you should see the charging  
lights.  
A red light on the desktop charger indicates the battery  
is charging.  
A green light on the desktop charger indicates the battery  
is at least 90 percent charged.  
A yellow light on the desktop charger indicates there is a  
problem charging the phone.  
It takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown  
battery.  
If a Travel Charger is used to charge the battery, multi-colored  
lights are displayed when the flip is closed. Red, Green, and  
blue lights are cycled during the charging process. When the  
flip is open, an animated battery icon is displayed on the  
screen. When the battery is completely charged, all lights are  
displayed continuously, or if the flip is open, the battery  
animation is stopped and the battery icon is displayed with all  
full bars.

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  
SM  
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service  
(TRS) by first dialing  
. Then provide the  
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

connected to the headset jack may be impaired.  
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.

Experience  
In This Section  
Understanding Roaming  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard  
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off  
R
the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new  
dual band/tri mode PCS Phone works anywhere on the enhanced  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other  
networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with  
other carriers and in limited areas where 1900 MHz digital  
networks are available.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special  
features that let you manage your roaming experience.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re  
off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether  
your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following  
chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using  
your phone.  
Roaming Indicator  
Analog Indicator  
Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Analog Networks  
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area  
code + number).  
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
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 enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may  
not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
46  
   
Roaming on Analog Networks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a  
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although  
some features, such as PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will  
be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access  
voicemail. You will experience a few differences:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out,  
and dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the enhanced  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,  
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are  
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you  
can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by  
dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press  
when you hear your greeting and enter your passcode at the  
prompt.  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and  
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.  
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your  
phone for analog roaming.  
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog),  
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think  
PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to

roaming calls.

to use voice recognition to perform phone functions and how to  
record and manage voice memos.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services

Activating Voice Recognition  
Voice recognition 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 the navigation key left.  
2. The phone prompts you to say a voice command. Wait for  
the beep and then say one of the following commands:  
Digit Dial  
Name Dial  
Voice Memo  
Phone Book  
Browser  
Play Games  
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 de-activates  
voice recognition without taking any action.  
Note: If you want to use a different button to activate voice recognition,  
press  
for Launch Pad. On this menu, you can change  
button assignments, including the button used to launch "Voice Dial,"  
which is the voice recognition application.  
Digit Dial  
Digit Dial allows you dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North American  
phone number by speaking the number naturally, without  
pausing between the digits.  
Tips for using Digit Dial:  
Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.  
When saying a number, speak at a normal speed and say  
each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
89  
       
The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five,  
six, seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not  
recognize numbers such as "one eight hundred" for "1-800."  
Instead, say "one-eight-zero-zero."  
The phone recognizes only valid 7 or 10 digit North  
American phone numbers.  
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly  
when you are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to  
your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy for  
some speakers. See the section "Adapting Digit Dial" for  
details.  
To place a call using Digit Dial:  
1. Activate voice recognition by pressing the navigation key  
left. The phone prompts you for a command.  
2. Say Digit Dial. The phone prompts you to say the number.  
3. Say a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number  
naturally and clearly.  
Note: If desired, you can say the number "1" before the number. This is not  
required, the call is made both ways.  
4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the  
correct number, say "Yes." You can also select the correct  
number from those displayed on the screen by pressing  
on the correct number. The phone will then dial the  
number.  
5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an  
incorrect number, say "No." If there are other alternatives,  
the phone will prompt you with the next one. You can  
also press the navigation key up or down to select the  
correct number from the Choice List, and then press  
to dial.  
Note: In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make  
sure that the number is a valid 7 or 10 digit North American phone number,  
and then say the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still  
doesn't understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.

Enabling/Disabling Digit Dial Choice Lists

5. Press the navigation key up or down to select Yes or No  
and press  
.
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.  
Important: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently  
mis-recognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its  
original factory setting.  
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach  
the system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3  
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.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
91  
   
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  
2. Press  
3. Press  
for Settings.  
for Voice Dial.  
for Adapt Digits.  
4. The phone displays the first digit sequence. When you are  
ready to start recording, press . The phone prompts  
you to say the first sequence of digits.  
5. 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."  
6. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes, and no  
background noises), say "Yes." If you need to re-record the  
digits to fix any problems, say "No." The phone then  
prompts you to say the digits again. Wait for the beep, and  
then record the digits again. Repeat this step until you are  
satisfied with the recording.  
7. 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."  
8. Repeat steps 4-8 for another six sets of digits. After the  
sixth set of digits, you will be half way through the session  
and the phone asks “More Adapatation?”. Select OK to  
continue for six more sets of digits, or press  
for  
partial adapation. When you are finished with a full  
session, you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation  
Complete.”  
Note: 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.

names are spelled correctly. Name Dial automatically voice-  
activates every contact in your Phone Book without the need to  
record or "train" names before using them. With Name Dial you  
can dial any person in your Phone Book by saying that person's  
name.

the phone automatically dials that number.  
4. If the name that you spoke has more than one number  
associated with it, the phone displays the different  
locations (home, work, etc.) and asks you which one to  
dial. Say one of the following locations:

quality images without using too much memory. The zoom  
feature is available using the navigation key.

images. You can save the most images in memory using this  
setting. The zoom feature is available using the navigation  
key.

camera. These settings allow you to customize how the camera  
operates when taking pictures.  
The settings are:

the images that are saved in memory. No one can review the  
images without entering a password.

completely. The shutter sound is heard when you take  
a picture.  
Quality: The quality allows you to select between Fine and

Getting Started With PCS Vision  
With your PCS Vision Phone and PCS Service, you are ready to  
start enjoying the advantages of PCS Vision. This section will  
help you learn the basics of using your PCS Vision services,  
including managing your User Name, launching a Vision  
connection, and navigating the Web with your PCS  
Vision Phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service,  
you're automatically assigned a User Name. Then, when you use  
PCS Vision services, your User Name is submitted to identify you  
to the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The User  
Name is also useful as an address for PCS Mail, as a way to  
personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.  
A User Name is typically based on the customer's name and a  
number, followed by "@sprintpcs.com." For example, the third  
John Smith to sign up for PCS Vision services might have  
[email protected] as his User Name. If you want a particular  
User Name, you can visit www.sprintpcs.com and get the name  
you want – as long as nobody else has it.  
Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User Name, that will automatically  
become your PCS Vision User Name.  
Your User Name will be automatically programmed into your  
PCS Phone. You don't have to enter it.  
Finding Your User Name  
If you aren't sure what your PCS Vision User Name is, you can  
easily find it online or on your PCS Phone:  
At www.sprintpcs.com: Sign on to your account using your  
PCS Phone Number and password. Your User Name appears  
in the top banner, next to your phone number.  
On your PCS Phone: Your User Name may appear on your  
phone's display screen in standby mode. You can also find it  
under the Phone Info option in your phone's main menu.

PCS Short Mail or ESPN Top News. When this occurs, you may  
not see the "Connecting as..." 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.

PCS Vision Connection Status and Indicators  
Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your  
PCS Vision connection through indicators which appear at the  
top of the screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your PCS Vision connection is active (data is being  
transferred). Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail;  
outgoing voice calls can be made, but the PCS Vision  
connection will terminate.  
Your PCS Vision connection is dormant (no data is being  
sent or received). Though not currently active, when  
dormant the phone can restart an active connection  
quickly; voice calls can be made and received.  
Your phone is not currently able to access PCS Vision  
service features.  
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current  
PCS Vision connection. To launch a connection, see

Navigating the Web  
Navigating through menus and Websites during a PCS Vision  
session is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some  
tips for getting around:  
Softkeys  
When browsing the Web, the bottom line of your phone's  
display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are shortcut  
controls for navigating around the Web, and they correspond to  
the softkey buttons directly below the phone’s display screen.  
Depending on which Websites you visit, the labels on the  
softkeys may change to indicate their function.  
To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an  
additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey  
button, select the menu items using your keypad (if they’re  
numbered) or by highlighting the option and pressing  
.
Scrolling  
As with other parts of your phone's menu, you'll have to scroll  
up and down to see everything on some Websites.  
Press the navigation key up and down to scroll line by line  
or press the volume buttons on the side of the phone to  
scroll one page at a time.  
Section 3: Using PCS Service Features  
3B: PCS Vision  
127  
   
Selecting  
Once you've learned how to use softkeys and scroll, you can  
start navigating Websites.  
Select on-screen items by using the navigation key to highlight  
the desired item, then press the desired softkey button (or  
press  
).  
You'll find that the left softkey is used primarily for selecting  
items. This softkey is often labeled “OK.”  
If the items on a page are numbered, you can use your  
keypad (number keys) to select an item.  
Links, which appear as underlined text, allow you to jump to  
different Web pages, select special functions, or even place  
phone calls.  
Select links by highlighting the link and then selecting the  
appropriate softkey.  
Tip: The tenth item in a numbered list may be selected by pressing  
the  
key on your phone’s keypad, even though the number 0 doesn’t  
appear on the screen.  
Going Back  
To go back one page, press  
on your phone. (Note that  
is also used for deleting text (like a BACKSPACE key)  
when you are entering text.)  
Going Home  
To return to the PCS Vision Home page from any other Web  
page, press and hold

With PCS Voice Command:  
You can store all your contacts’ phone numbers, so you can  
simply say the name of the person you want to call.  
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize  
voicemail passwords, or try to dial while you’re driving.  
You can call anyone in your address book – even if you don’t  
remember their phone number.  
It’s Easy to Get Started  
Just dial  
from your PCS Phone to activate the  
service and listen to brief instructions directly from your  
phone. There is a monthly charge for PCS Voice Command.

book, with each name having up to five phone numbers. That’s  
2,500 phone numbers – and with the advanced technology of  
PCS Voice Command – you can have instant access to all of them.  
There are four ways to update your address book:

work,” “Call John Baker on the mobile phone,Call 555-  
1234,” or “Call Bob Miller.”

verify. Say “Yes” to call the number or person. Say “No” if

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
159  
 
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 or  
you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the  
Power Save feature is activated, a message displays 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 Radiofrequency Safety  
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 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.  
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and  
over your shoulder.  
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.  
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
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. If it’s inoperable, return  
it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer Solutions for service.  
Note: 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.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and redial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls  
when stationary or before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that  
may divert your attention from the road.  
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your  
wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless  
number when necessary.  
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store.  
You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by  
dialing  
on your 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.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
162  
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 off your  
phone 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.  
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially 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:  
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.  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone  
Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to  
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,  
damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop 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 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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:  
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon 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.  
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the  
FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
The 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 (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 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.  
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that 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.  
For more information about RF exposure, please 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.  
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 [SPH-A600] are:  
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.42 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.90 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.18 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.16 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
Guidelines. FCC ID number: A3LSPHA600. More information on  
the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
