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 via a 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
Service SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing
. Then provide
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

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.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
art of getting the most out of your 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 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 101
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).

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 Service SolutionsSM
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.

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
104 4A: Safety
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:

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.

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

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 1200 are:
PCS mode (Part 24E) - Head: 0.830 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.304 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission
Guidelines. FCC ID number: BEJLX1200. More information on
the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site:
