Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
 
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices  
MaintainingSafeUseofand  
Access toYourPhone  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF)signals. However, RFsignals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
RFsignals may affect improperly installed orinadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems orentertainment systems  
in motorvehicles. Check with the manufacturerortheir  
representative to determine if these systems are adequately  
shielded from external RFsignals. Also check with the  
manufacturerregarding any equipment that has been added to  
yourvehicle.  
DoNotRelyonYourPhoneforEmergencyCalls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions.Therefore you should  
neverrely solely upon any mobile phone foressential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellularnetworks orwhen certain  
network services ormobile phone features are in use. Check  
with yourlocal service providerfordetails.  
Consult the manufacturerof any personal medical devices, such  
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RFsignals.  
UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving  
Talking on yourphone while driving (oroperating the phone  
without a hands-free device)is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Rememberthat safety  
always comes first.

dialing # 2 2 2 on yourphone.  
Tip  
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
Turn off yourphone before boarding any aircraft.To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
AviationAdministration (FAA)regulations require you to have  
permission from a crew memberto use yourphone while the  
plane is on the ground.To prevent any risk of interference, FCC  
regulations prohibit using yourphone while the plane is in the  
air.  
FollowingSafetyGuidelines  
To operate yourphone safely and efficiently, always follow any  
special regulations in a given area.Turn yourphone off in areas  
where use is forbidden orwhen it may cause interference or  
danger.

TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
RestrictingChildren’sAccess toYourPhone  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn yourphone off  
when in a blasting area orin otherareas with signs indicating  
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often  
use remote-control RFdevices to set off explosives.  
Yourphone 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 yourSprint invoice.  
Turn yourphone off when you’re in any area that has a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, yourphone  
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an  
explosion orfire, resulting in bodily injury oreven death.These  
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.They include:  
Anumberof Sprint phones have been tested forhearing aid  
device compatibility.When some wireless phones are used with  
certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear  
implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the  
effectiveness of the hearing device.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel orchemical transferorstorage facilities.  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories forboth.  
Areas where the aircontains chemicals orparticles such  
as grain, dust, ormetal powders.  
Any otherarea where you would normally be advised to  
turn off yourvehicle’s engine.  
Nevertransport orstore flammable gas, flammable  
liquids, orexplosives in the compartment ofyour  
vehicle that contains yourphone oraccessories.  
Ratings have been developed formobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
theirhearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated  
have a label located on the box. YourLX400 has an M4and a  
T4rating.  
Note  
152  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
 
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higherrating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device.Trying  
out the phone with yourhearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it foryourpersonal needs.  
Thus, if you pairan M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six forexcellent use.”This is  
synonymous forTratings.  
Sprint furthersuggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 orM4/T4)while in the store to  
find the one that works best with yourhearing aid device. Should  
you experience interference orfind the quality of service  
unsatisfactory afterpurchasing yourphone, promptly return it to  
the store within 30 days of purchase.With the Sprint 30-day  
Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within 30 days  
of purchase fora full refund. More information about hearing aid  
compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and  
www.accesswireless.org.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 orM4meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4is the  
better/higherof the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Phones ratedT3 orT4meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch”orTelephone Switch”)than unrated phones. (T4is the  
better/higherof the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices  
have telecoils in them.)  
Getting theBestHearingDevice  
ExperienceWithYourPhone  
To furtherminimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured forimmunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similarto phones. Ask yourhearing healthcare  
professional forthe rating of yourhearing aid. Add the rating of  
yourhearing aid and yourphone to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press  
> Settings > Display > Main Screen >  
Backlight, orMenu > Settings > Display > Keypad  
Light.  
Any combined rating equal to orgreaterthan six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press  
.
Any combined rating equal to fouris considered usable.

RadioFrequency(RF)Energy  
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
Yourphone is basically a radio transmitterand receiver.When it’s  
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)signals.  
When you use yourphone, the system handling yourcall  
controls the powerlevel.This powercan range from 0.006 watt to  
0.2watt in digital mode.  
Formore information about RFexposure, visit the FCCWeb site  
at www.fcc.gov.  
SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWireless  
Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed in the head of a userof a wireless handset.  
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety  
The design of yourphone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE)and theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
joined in updatingANSI’s 1982standard forsafety levels with  
respect to human exposure to RFsignals. More than 120  
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,  
government health agencies and industries developed this  
updated standard afterreviewing the available body of research.  
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)  
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. InAugust 1996,  
the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing  
ANSI/IEEEstandard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NCRP).  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,  
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how  
much RFthe 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 otherfactors.What is important to rememberis 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
