phone to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY phone will
connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY phone, contact your TTY phone manufacturer to purchase the connector
cable.

Warning! 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),

equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Sprint Connections Optimizer
The Sprint Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for
your phone, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks.
About Sprint Connections Optimizer
The Sprint Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding
and connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are
networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer
improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and
use data at the same time.
The Sprint Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If
you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Sprint Connections
Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the Sprint network.
Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously),
and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the
antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your
battery levels, Wi-Fi and Sprint Network connections, and usage. No personal information is
collected.

phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen keyboard may appear unresponsive when
in fact it is functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.
Your Data Services User Name
When you buy your 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 “@sprintpcs.com”. (For example, the
third John Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user
name.)
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint
Network. Your user name is automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have to enter it.
