Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service  
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated  
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint PCS Store, it is probably  
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your phone in  
the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock  
it.

and Using Your Phone included with your phone.

To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey  
text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s  
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the  
code is not visible as you type.)

your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number or try 0000. If  
none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS

options. The following list previews some of those features and  
options and provides page numbers where you can find out more:  
Dual-band tri-mode capability allows you to make and receive

on other analog and 800 and 1900 MHz digital networks where  
Sprint PCS has implemented roaming agreements (page 56).  
SM  
Sprint PCS Vision provides access to the wireless Internet in  
digital mode (page 141).  
Sprint PCS Mail and SMS Text Messaging provide quick and  
convenient text messaging capabilities (page 148).  
SM  
Sprint PCS Voice Command lets you dial phone numbers by

(page 166).  
Games, ringers, screen savers, and other applications can be  
downloaded to your phone to make your Sprint PCS Vision

Turning Your Phone On and Off  
Turning Your Phone On  
To turn your phone on:  
Press  
.
Once your phone is On, it displays “Looking for Service” which  
indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your  
phone finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the  
phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and  
receiving calls.  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching,  
a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is  
found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.  
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically  
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for  
Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is  
turned On).  
The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you  
are in an area where there is no signal.  
Tip:  
Turning Your Phone Off  
To turn your phone off:  
Press and hold  
for two seconds until you see the powering  
down animation on the display screen.  
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the  
battery is charging).

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger  
Battery Capacity  
Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)  
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully  
drained. It provides up to 4 hours of continuous digital talk time (up  
to 1.5 hours in analog) or up to 9 days of continuous digital standby  
time (up to 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.  
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and  
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Note:  
Tip:  
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the  
battery before it runs out of power.  
Installing the Battery  
To install the LiIon battery:  
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone at  
an angle, making sure the plastic tab on the bottom of the  
battery is inserted into the matching slot in the phone.  
2. Press down until the battery snaps into place.  
Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone - The Basics  
19  
     
Removing the Battery  
To remove your battery:  
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored  
numbers or messages.  
2. Push the battery release latch up completely.  
3. Using the side tabs, pull the top of the battery away from the  
phone and remove.  
Charging the Battery  
Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and  
should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your  
phone.  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery  
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you  
will lose all the information you were just working on. 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 low, the battery icon  
(
) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.  
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel adapter, or  
vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.  
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone  
and void the warranty.  
Warning!  
Section 2A: Your PCS Vision Phone - The Basics  
20  
   
Using the Desktop Charger  
It is vital that you use only the Sprint 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 that the battery  
is charging.  
A green light on the desktop charger indicates that the  
battery is at least 90 percent charged.  
A yellow light on the desktop charger indicates that 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.

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 Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint  
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service

by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services  
(TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
In This Section  
Understanding Roaming  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the  
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode  
Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the Sprint PCS  
Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900  
and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming  
agreements with other carriers.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that  
let you manage your roaming experience.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
56  
   
Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the  
Sprint PCS Nationwide 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 PCS Nationwide Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Analog Networks  
Analog Roam  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint PCS  
Nationwide Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits  
(1 + area code + number).  
Tip:  
Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher  
per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
Note:  
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 Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. However, you may not be  
able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
57  
   
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 Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command,  
will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access  
voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may  
notice some of the following differences when using analog service:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and  
dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the enhanced  
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, such as Call Waiting,  
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are  
unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are  
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the  
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail  
Messages While Roaming” on page 59.)  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)  
that exist with conventional analog services today.  
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will  
need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for  
analog roaming.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Nationwide 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 the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.  
Note:  
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This  
is normal for analog operation.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
58  
 
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, you  
may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages.  
Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically  
check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming  
service area for an extended period of time.  
To check your voicemail while roaming:  
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.  
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press  
.
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice  
prompts.  
When you return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, voicemail  
notification will resume as normal.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam.  
By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which  
signals your phone accepts.  
Set Mode

Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate  
system.  
Roaming Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an  
analog roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint PCS or  
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.  
Sprint: This setting allows you to access the enhanced Sprint  
PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other  
networks.  
To access the phone’s main menu, press (Menu) from standby mode.  
Menu items may be selected by highlighting them with the navigation  
key and pressing OK, or you can press the number corresponding to the  
menu item on your keypad.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using  
Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off  
the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network: the onscreen roaming icon and  
Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming  
charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a  
roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or  
receive calls while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.)  
To turn Call Guard on or off:  
1. Press  
.
2. Highlight Settings and press  
.
3. Press  
for Roaming.  
4. Press  
for Call Guard.  
5. Highlight On or Off and press  
. (A message confirming your  
choice will display briefly.)  
Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are roaming  
with Call Guard enabled.  
Note:  
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:  
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit  
number and press . (You can also initiate a call from the  
Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)  
2. A message is displayed indicating that roaming rate applies.  
Press  
to place the call.  
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:  
1. Press . (A message will appear notifying you that roaming  
charges will apply.)  
2. Press  
to accept and answer the call.  
If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps  
to make and receive roaming calls, even if you have selected the  
Analog setting (see page 60).

New Features  
Natural one-step commands - Instead of a series of single  
commands, you can now issue single voice commands to  
accomplish a variety of complex tasks.  
For example:  
"Call John Mobile": Dials the mobile number stored for the  
contact entry "John."  
"Call Maria Work": Dials the work number stored for the  
contact entry Maria.  
"Call 781-970-5200": Dials the specified number.  
One-step voice access to text messaging - The "Send Text"  
command lets you use a single voice command to launch the  
phone's text messaging client and specify a recipient.  
For example:  
"Send Text to John": Opens the text message client and  
addresses the message to the mobile number of the contact  
entry John.  
"One-step access to applications and menus: You can  
access applications and common menus by saying "Go To"  
followed by the application or menu name. For example:  
"Go To Calendar": Launches the "Calendar" application.  
"Go To Downloads": Displays the "Downloads" menu.  
"Voice commands for checking phone status - With a single  
command, you can have the phone play back and display its  
phone number, the current signal strength, network coverage,  
battery level, or all of the above.  
For example:  
"Check Battery": Instructs the phone to report its current  
battery strength.  
"Check Status": Instructs the phone to report all status  
information.

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 and hold . (The phone prompts you to say a  
voice command.)  
2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following commands:  
Call <Name or #>  
Send Text <Name>  
Lookup <Name>  
Go To <App>  
Check <Item>  
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.  
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
105  
   
Call <Name or #>  
You can voice dial your phone with a single command by saying  
"Call" followed by a name or nickname (see contact list  
documentations for details) and (optionally) a label stored in your  
contact list, or "Call" followed by a valid phone number. You can also  
say "Call" by itself and be prompted for the name or number.  
To place a call using Call <Name or #>:  
1. Press and hold  
.
2. Say "Call" followed by the name and the label for that number.  
For example, say "Call John Mobile." The phone dials the  
number stored for the contact "John" with the label "Mobile."  
If the location recognized for the name does not have a number  
stored in contacts, VoiceSignal will play the message "No number  
available, John Smith, Mobile," and then launch the Contacts  
application for that name.  
If a name has only a single number, or if you know the name but are  
not sure which number to call, say "Call" followed by the name only.  
For example, say "Call John." If the name is recognized and there is  
only one number for the name, VoiceSignal immediately places the  
call. If there are multiple numbers stored for the contact, the phone  
prompts you with "Which Number?" and displays a list of options.  
You can select an option by saying it or by using your keypad.  
Calling Nick Names  
Your Contact List incorporates a new field called "Nickname." When  
you add a nickname to a contact, you can say the contact's name or  
nickname when using the voice features. For example, if you have a  
contact, "John Smith" stored in your contact list, and you add, "Dad"  
to the nickname field, you can call that contact by saying, "Call John  
Smith" or by saying "Call Dad."  
If your contact list contains a name that you have difficulty using with the  
voice features (such as some unusual or foreign names), you can add a  
nickname for that contact that spells out the proper pronunciation of  
that name.

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.  
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently mis-recognizing your  
speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.  
Note:  
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.  
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.

for Adapt Digits. (The phone displays the first  
digit sequence.)  
6. When you are ready to start recording, press  
. (The phone  
prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)  
7. 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.")  
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.)  
8. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. (Repeat this  
step until you are satisfied with the recording.)  
9. 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.)  
10. Repeat steps 4-7 for another six sets of digits. (After the sixth  
set of digits, you will be half-way through the session and the  
phone will ask “More Adapatation?”)  
11. Select OK to continue for six more sets of digits, or press  
for  
partial adaptation. When you are finished with a full session,  
you will reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”  
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 half-way point.

Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit at a  
time- 1-800 should be pronounced "One Eight Zero Zero."  
Using Choice Lists

correctly, it might display a choice list and prompt you with "Call?"  
followed by the first choice on the list. To confirm the choice, say  
"Yes" or to hear the next choice, say "No." You can also select the  
correct choice using your keypad. To cancel the command, say  
"Cancel," or to say the name or number again, say "Repeat."

Sprint PCS Vision brings you clarity you can see and hear with advanced  
multimedia services. These features, including text messaging, games,  
downloadable ringers and screen savers, and Web access are easy to  
learn and use. The rich, colorful graphic experience is visually  
comparable to your home or office computer. Clearly, it’s a whole new  
way to look at wireless.  
This section introduces these advanced services and walks you through  
the necessary steps to start taking advantage of Sprint PCS Vision.  
Section 3B: Sprint PCS Vision  
141  
   
Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision  
With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service, you are  
ready to start enjoying the advantages of Vision. This section will  
help you learn the basics of using your Vision services, including  
managing your User Name, launching a Vision connection, and  
navigating the Web with your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service,  
you're automatically assigned a User Name. A User Name is typically  
based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.”  
For example, the third John Smith to sign up for 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.  
When you use Vision services, your User Name is submitted to  
identify you to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. The User Name  
is also useful as an address for Sprint PCS Mail, as a way to  
personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.  
Your User Name will be automatically programmed into your  
Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don't have to enter it.  
Finding Your User Name  
If you aren't sure what your Sprint PCS Vision User Name is, you can  
easily find it online or on your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.  
To find your User Name:  
At www.sprintpcs.com. Sign on to your account using your  
Sprint PCS Phone Number and Password. Your User Name  
appears in the top banner, next to your phone number.  
On your Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You can find your User Name  
under the Phone Info option in your phone's Settings menu.  
To access the phone’s main menu, press (Menu) from standby mode.  
Menu items may be selected by highlighting them with the navigation  
key and pressing OK, or you can press the number corresponding to the  
menu item on your keypad.

you visited (for example, SMS Text Messaging or ESPN Top News)  
will display when you launch your browser. When this occurs, you  
may not see the “Connecting...” 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. As soon  
as you navigate to another page, the active session will launch and  
you will see the “Connecting...” message.

Vision connection through indicators which appear at the top of the  
screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your Vision connection is active (data is being transferred); the  
transmit/receive symbol will blink to indicate data  
transmission. Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail;

How will I know when my phone is ready for Vision service?  
Your User Name (for example, [email protected]) will display  
when you access Phone Info under the Settings menu.  
How do I sign-in for the first time?  
You are automatically signed in to access Vision services when you  
turn on your phone.  
How do I know when my phone is connected to Vision services?  
Your phone automatically connects when Vision service is used or  
an incoming message arrives. Your phone will also display the

Can I make calls and use Vision services at the same time?  
You cannot use voice and Vision services simultaneously. If you  
receive a call while Vision service is active, the call will be  
forwarded to voicemail. You can place an outgoing call anytime, but  
it will interrupt any in-progress Vision session.

Your connection is active when data is being transferred. Outgoing  
calls are allowed; incoming calls go directly to voicemail. When  
active, the  
indicator flashes on your phone’s display screen.  
When is my data connection dormant?  
If no data is received for 10 seconds, the connection goes dormant.  
When the connection is dormant, voice calls are allowed. (The  
connection may become active again quickly.) If no data is received  
for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.  
Can I sign out of data services?  
You can sign out without turning off your phone; however you will  
not be able to browse the Web or use other Vision services. While  
signed out, you can still place or receive phone calls, check  
voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign in again at any  
time. To sign out, go to Settings and select the Vision menu for

Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Vision 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 4A: Safety Guidelines  
171  
 
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; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the  
Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed 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 Sprint PCS Vision 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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
172  
 
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint PCS authorized personnel should  
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.  
Note:  
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.  
Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint PCS Store, or call the  
PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing # 2 2 2 on your PCS  
Vision Phone.  
Tip:  
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  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
173  
 
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.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before  
using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
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 your phone off when in a blasting  
area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive  
atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.  
Sparks can cause an explosion or 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.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of  
your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Note:  
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone  
Your Sprint 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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
174  
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 PCS-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 PCS-  
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.  
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

interference cannot be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the  
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the  
National Fire Protections 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 PCS 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 PCS approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure  
guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
176  
   
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 MM-A700 are:  
AMPS mode (Part 22):  
Head:0.911 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.350 W/kg  
Digital (Part 24):  
Head: 1.140 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.833 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA700. More information on the phone's SAR can be  
found from the following FCC Website:

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones  
(The following information comes from a consumer information Website  
jointly sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts:  
Consumer Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced  
herein is dated July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website:  
What is radiofrequency energy (RF)?  
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of  
electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of  
the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-  
rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists  
of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through  
space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.  
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas.  
As they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All  
electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major differences  
between the different types of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of  
the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set time  
period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The  
frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any  
electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the  
speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in units called  
hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One kilohertz (kHz) equals  
one thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million  
waves per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per  
second.  
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per  
second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a  
subset of radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million  
waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).  
How is radiofrequency energy used?  
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio  
and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire  
department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on  
RF energy.  
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and  
sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave  
frequencies, can heat water. Since most food has a high water content,  
microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and  
airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use  
RF energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items  
such as shoes and pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy  
include pacemaker monitoring and programming.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
178  
   
How is radiofrequency radiation measured?  
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is  
often convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each  
component. For example, the unit “volts per meter” (V/m) is used to measure  
the electric field strength, and the unit “amperes per meter” (A/m) is used to  
express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to characterize an  
RF field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power  
per unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of  
milliwatts (one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2) or  
microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2).  
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the  
body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the  
rate of absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per  
kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).  
What biological effects can be caused by RF energy?  
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with  
the effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.  
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and  
gamma rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where  
electrons are stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and  
molecules. It can permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the  
genetic material. Ionization only occurs with very high levels of  
electromagnetic energy such as X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term  
radiation is used when discussing ionizing radiation (such as that associated  
with nuclear power plants).  
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio  
waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms  
and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other  
types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat)  
and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.  
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and  
increase body temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are  
particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow  
in them to carry away excess heat.  
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too  
low to produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some  
people have questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF  
energy. It is generally agreed that further research is needed to determine what  
effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the  
meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are  
continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether  
changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
179  
What levels of RF energy are considered safe?  
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to  
radiofrequency energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for  
both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used  
safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.  
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are  
derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of  
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the  
recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn  
from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the  
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.  
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by  
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).  
The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE,  
with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure  
levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from  
certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the World  
Health Organization is working to provide a framework for international  
harmonization of RF safety standards.  
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific  
Absorption Rate (SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4 W/kg) as a threshold  
level of exposure at which harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure  
guidelines in terms of field strength, power density and localized SAR were  
then derived from this threshold value. In addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP  
guidelines vary depending on the frequency of the RF exposure. This is due to  
the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF energy varies with the  
frequency of the RF signal. The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure  
are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF  
energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the body, such as  
wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.  
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric  
and magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at  
frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. The specific values can be found in two  
FCC bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/  
Why has the FCC adopted guidelines for RF exposure?  
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that  
generate RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting  
services in the U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal  
Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to determine radiation  
exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to  
recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert  
agencies and organizations, and has done so. (Our joint efforts with the FDA in  
developing this website is illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and  
consultation we engage in regarding this health and safety issue.)  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
180  
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has  
certain responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect  
the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing  
of transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the  
environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated  
transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such  
environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF  
exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as required by the  
Telecommunications Act of 1996.  
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental  
radio stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to  
undergo routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an  
application to the FCC for construction or modification of a transmitting facility  
or renewal of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC's RF exposure  
guidelines could lead to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment,  
possible Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an  
application. Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance with the FCC  
RF safety requirements can be found in the FCC's OET Bulletin 65.  
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are  
normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF  
exposure. These exclusions are based on standard calculations and  
measurement data indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating  
under the conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the  
guidelines under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions  
from compliance, but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC's  
policies on RF exposure and categorical exclusion can be found in Section  
1.1307(b) of the FCC's Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].  
How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for my  
wireless phone?  
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate  
compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The  
relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user  
is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above. The FCC  
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.  
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many  
recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for  
that model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of  
the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find  
the number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web address:  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page, you will see instructions for entering the  
FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee  
Code is the first three characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the  
FCC ID number). Then click on “Start Search.” The “Grant of Equipment  
Authorization” for your telephone should appear. Read through the grant for  
the section on “SAR Compliance,Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
181  
for RF Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s)  
for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.  
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the  
maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.”  
For phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000,  
detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated  
with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking  
on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the  
electronic database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper  
records.  
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers  
may find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone  
manufacturers make SAR information available on their own Web sites. In  
addition, some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of  
wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no  
guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide  
SAR information to consumers in the instructional materials that come with the  
phones.  
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to  
RF emissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-  
free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These  
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone,  
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head.  
On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of  
the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.  
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements  
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either  
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.  
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from  
RF radiation work?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the  
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the  
user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing  
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that  
these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits,  
these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The  
phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase  
in RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC)  
charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless  
phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.  
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate  
their claim.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
182  
What are wireless telephone base stations?  
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular  
base stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations  
or telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of antennas and  
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are  
often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical heights for  
freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.  
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length,  
that are referred to as “omni-directional” antennas. These types of antennas are  
usually found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers  
now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations.  
These antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension.  
The antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One  
antenna in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the  
other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless  
phones.  
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the  
number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each  
transmitter. Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical  
cell site using sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be  
connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is  
unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time.  
When omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could  
theoretically use up to 96 transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and,  
once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters would be in operation  
simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS communications generally require  
fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS  
carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.  
Are wireless telephone base stations safe?  
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations  
travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation  
pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin  
pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a  
single array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all  
forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves  
away from the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less  
than exposure very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted  
radio signal. In fact, ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically  
thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by  
expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents would be well within  
safety margins.  
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with  
limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by  
government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made  
near cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed  
that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than the  
exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
183  
or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would  
essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of  
the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very  
unlikely to occur.  
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof  
or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered  
on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety  
guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly in front of the  
antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such rooftop  
base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant.  
General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances that might give  
rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be  
found in A Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF  
Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This Guide can be  
Who regulates exposure to radiation from microwave ovens, television  
sets and computer monitors?  
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public  
from harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.  
Does the FCC routinely monitor radiofrequency radiation from  
antennas?  
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the  
emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC  
jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for  
evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers.  
If there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines  
for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC's Office of Engineering and  
Technology or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation,  
and, if appropriate, perform actual measurements. Circumstances that could  
give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can  
be found in A Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF  
Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This Guide can be  
accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety. Potential exposure problems should  
be brought to the FCC's attention by contacting the FCC RF Safety Program at:  
202-418-2464 or by email: [email protected]v.  
Does the FCC maintain a database that includes information on the  
location and technical parameters of all the transmitting towers it  
regulates?  
Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the  
service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)  
The FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the  
case of site specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is  
collected from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the  
case of market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the  
authority to operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
184  
as many facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the  
FCC with specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.  
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu  
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts  
of their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file  
structure. These extracts consist of multiple, very large files. The FCC's Office  
of Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html. Entry points into the various  
databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and  
licensee name. For further information on the Commission's existing databases,  
you can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected] or 202-418-2405.  
Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for  
RF exposure?  
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations  
about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act  
of 1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF  
emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, “No State or local  
government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,  
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the  
basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent  
that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such  
emissions.Further information on federal authority and FCC policy is available  
in a fact sheet from the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at  
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that  
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of  
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They  
also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels  
of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF  
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.  
Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.  
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such  
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other  
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining  
the reasons for inconsistent results.  
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer  
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new  
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if  
wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is  
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
185  
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or  
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA  
has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the  
following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the  
type emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the  
user that is not necessary for device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible  
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have  
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at  
the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United  
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC  
relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless  
phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely  
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless  
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations  
are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless  
phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions  
discussed in this document.  
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-  
in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of  
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF  
exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety  
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health  
and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the  
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure  
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called  
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring  
in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF  
exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
186  
What are the results of the research done already?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies  
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments  
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic  
of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be  
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested  
that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory  
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with  
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the  
absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22  
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which  
people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results  
of such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or  
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other  
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health  
effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can  
answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of  
phone use in these studies was around three years.  
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless  
phones poses a health risk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people  
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.  
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,  
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a  
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data  
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years' follow-  
up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as  
cancer. This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-  
causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many  
years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties  
in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.  
Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is  
held, or which model of phone is used.  
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of  
wireless phone RF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are  
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
187  
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed  
agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research  
programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of  
public information documents on EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a  
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do  
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,  
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic  
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to  
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory  
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a  
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest  
research developments around the world.  
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy  
from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that  
there is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even  
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a  
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will  
reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every  
day, you could place more distance between your body and the source  
of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.  
For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone  
away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote  
antenna.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.  
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can  
use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from  
wireless phone use.  
What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure  
to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless  
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will  
reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that  
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the  
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a  
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that  
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their  
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard  
exists.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
188  
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some  
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method  
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is  
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of  
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical  
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.  
This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and  
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones  
and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of  
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods  
and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that  
that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a  
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the  
IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions  
with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur,  
FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the  
problem.  
Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to potential  
RF health effects?  
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,  
researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.  
These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and  
Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information  
Administration (NTIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).  
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops  
performance standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products  
including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave  
ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product  
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF  
leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance  
standards for other RF-emitting products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal  
health agency in monitoring the latest research developments and advising  
other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used by the  
public, such as cellular and PCS phones.  
The FDA's microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an  
exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured at  
five centimeters from the oven surface). The standard also requires ovens to have  
two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating  
microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
189  
opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used  
according to the manufacturer's recommendations are safe for consumer and  
industrial use. More information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.  
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public  
exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and  
health are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now  
chairs an Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF  
health-related activities among the various federal agencies with health or  
regulatory responsibilities in this area.  
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous  
chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for  
exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide  
was later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based  
on an earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the present  
time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement  
purposes under OSHA's “general duty clause” (for more information see:  
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It  
conducts research and investigations into issues related to occupational  
exposure to chemical and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken  
to develop RF exposure guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never  
adopted by the agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its  
Physical Agents Effects Branch in Cincinnati, Ohio.  
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible  
for authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum.  
Like the FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered  
adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government  
transmitters such as radar and military facilities.  
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological  
effects of RF energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted  
primarily at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force  
Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed  
with other sites in conjunction with a question on other sources of  
information, below.  
Who funds and carries out research on the biological effects of  
RF energy?  
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in  
laboratories in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most  
research has been funded by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive  
military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered radio  
transmitters. In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and  
safety, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food  
and Drug Administration (FDA), have sponsored and conducted research in this  
area. At the present time, most of the non-military research on biological  
effects of RF energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry organizations. More  
research is being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
190  
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International  
EMF Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of  
health concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains a Web site that  
provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects  
and research (www.who.ch/peh-emf).  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
How does FCC Audit Cell Phone RF?  
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed,  
FCC will occasionally conduct “post-grant” testing to determine whether  
production versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC  
regulatory requirements. The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet  
FCC's regulatory requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from  
use and to refund the purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may  
be subject to civil or criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a  
risk of injury to the user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most  
important post-grant test, from a consumer's perspective, is testing of the RF  
emissions of the phone. FCC measures the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of  
the phone, following a very rigorous testing protocol. As is true for nearly any  
scientific measurement, there is a possibility that the test measurement may be  
less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference  
between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is because test  
measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test measurement  
and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors. This  
inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.When FCC  
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any  
measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is  
appropriate. This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it  
will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.  
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell  
phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current  
understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF  
emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a risk of injury  
to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an  
SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement  
uncertainty permitted by current measurement standards was added to the  
maximum permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well below any  
level known to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC's approach with  
measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any  
known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.  
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute  
effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure  
to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many  
years). If new information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC's  
measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both  
agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.

transfer your number from another carrier to us, or from us to another carrier. We  
do not guarantee that transfers to or from us will be successful. If you transfer  
your number away from us, the terms of this Agreement (e.g., Early Termination  
Fee, etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be responsible  
for any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your device. See our  
printed in-store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important  
information on number transfers.

Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our  
mapping brochures and at www.sprintpcs.com. This may include coverage on our  
digital network (the "Sprint Nationwide PCS Network") as well as coverage we  
make available to you through agreements with other carriers ("off network" or  
"roaming" coverage). All coverage maps are high level representations of outdoor  
coverage and there are gaps in coverage within areas shown as covered on the maps.  
Coverage is not available everywhere, nor can we guarantee you will receive coverage  
at all times, or without interruptions or delays (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.) in  
the coverage areas we identify. Actual coverage and quality of Services may be affected  
by conditions within or beyond our control, including network problems, software, signal  
strength, your equipment, structures (including buildings in which you may be located),  
atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions.  
Roaming Coverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are  
roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless  
included as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls  
placed "manually" (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur  
separate and additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may  
automatically roam if there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your  
phone guide for how to adjust phone settings. Certain features and services may  
not be available in roaming coverage areas (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call  
waiting, call forwarding, etc.).  
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges  
based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly  
recurring charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long  
distance, roaming, call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other  
time based usage charges are calculated from when your device first initiates  
contact with a network until the network connection is broken, whether or not  
you were actually successful in connecting to the intended destination. However,  
you will not be charged for voice calls that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a  
busy signal. For voice calls received by your device, you are charged from the time  
shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated. You are  
charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in which the call is  
initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.  
Sprint PCS Vision Charges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes.  
Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock  
hour while in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you  
based on the terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be  
charged against an allowance or on a fixed price per kilobyte. Usage charges may  
be rounded up to the next cent at monthly or other intervals. In certain instances,  
you may not know that your session has not ended. As long as your device is  
connected to our network, you will incur data usage charges. You will be charged  
for all data directed to the internet address (or "IP address") assigned to your  
device, regardless of who initiates the activity or whether your device actually  
receives the data. This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of data  
associated with the particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.),  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
196  
additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing this information/item  
on our network, data from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data  
associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications.  
Based on these and a number of other factors (e.g., the specific application,  
network performance, etc.) data used and charged to you will vary widely, even  
for the same activity. Estimates of data usage – for example, the size of  
downloadable files – will not be accurate or a reliable predictor of actual usage.  
Your invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable to  
your use of specific sites, sessions or services.  
Taxes and Surcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by  
or remitted directly to federal, state, local or foreign governments including,  
without limitation, sales, gross receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If  
you claim any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt  
document. Tax exemptions are not applied retroactively. We also invoice you for  
surcharges that we collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with  
government programs such as number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911  
service; these charges are not the taxes nor government imposed assessments.  
Invoicing & Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.  
Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are generally invoiced one  
invoicing cycle in advance. Other charges are invoiced soon after they are  
incurred. Most usage is generally applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are  
incurred, but in some instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles.  
You are responsible for all charges associated with any device activated on your  
account, regardless of who used the device. You must pay all charges by the due  
date on the invoice. Past due amounts accrue late charges until paid at the rate of 5%  
per month or at the highest rate allowed by law and may result in immediate suspension  
of your account. If you agree to any auto-payment option through banking or credit  
account, we may initiate payment from the account for all amounts we invoice  
you without additional authorization or notice. Based on your credit or payment  
history, we may require certain forms of guaranteed payment as a condition of  
maintaining Services. If we invoice you for amounts on behalf of a third-party,  
payments received are first applied to amounts due to us. You may be charged  
additional fees for certain methods of payment and for payments denied by a  
financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked "paid in full") does  
not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.  
Disputed Charges. Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must be raised  
within 60 days of the date of the invoice. You accept all charges not disputed in  
this time period. Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on  
your invoice.  
Account Spending Limit & Deposits. We may impose an account spending limit  
("ASL") on any account without notice. We will notify you of an ASL based on your  
credit or payment history and may reduce the ASL at any time with prior notice.  
An ASL should not be relied on to manage usage on your account. We may  
suspend an account without prior notice when the account balance reaches the  
ASL, even if the account is not past due. Services can be restored upon payment of  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
197  
an amount that brings the account balance below the ASL and any past due  
amounts. If we require a deposit for you to establish or maintain an account, we  
will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may change  
the deposit amount at any time with notice for good reason. Except as we allow, a  
deposit may not be used to pay any invoice or delay payment. The deposit  
amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit  
amount are determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of  
interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our  
other funds. If your account is terminated for any reason, we may without notice  
apply your deposit to any outstanding charges. We may send any remaining  
deposit amounts to your last known address within 75 days after account  
termination. If the funds are returned to us, you may claim these funds for one  
year from the date of return. Any money held during this one-year period will not  
accrue interest for your benefit and are subject to a servicing fee charged against  
the balance. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one-year period.  
Other Sprint PCS Vision Terms. You will not receive voice calls while using Vision.  
Vision is not available for use with server devices or host computer applications,  
other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitutes  
for private lines or frame relay connections. Unlimited Vision plans/options may  
not be used with Sprint PCS phones or smart phones being used as a modem in  
connection with other equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) through use of  
connection kits or other phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth or  
other wireless technology. We may terminate services without notice for any  
misuse. You may have access to certain games, ringers, screen savers and other  
items on our Vision site ("Premium Services") that are available for an additional  
charge. You will be billed for Premium Service purchases on your Sprint PCS  
invoice based on the charges as specified at purchase. Subject to the terms of the  
content purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium items downloaded  
to any storage areas we may provide, including any pictures, games and other  
content. We may limit the amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a  
specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period).  
Voice Command. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed  
through the Voice Command feature. See our printed in-store materials or visit  
www.sprintpcs.com for additional important information on this option.  
Wireless Web. Wireless Web Services may be available depending on your device  
and Service plan/option. This is not a Vision service. Usage is calculated on  
minutes used and generally deducts from your Service plan minutes. See our  
printed in-store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important  
information on this option.  
Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your device is lost or stolen, please notify us  
immediately by calling 1-888-211-4PCS. You are responsible for all charges incurred  
before you notify us of the loss or theft. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in  
investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.  
Messaging. You may incur charges in accessing, sending or receiving messages on  
your device. We may impose limits on the number of voicemail, text, email or  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
198  
other messages that can be retained through your account. Indicators of messages  
on your device, including mailbox icons, may not always provide an up to date  
indication of new messages and you may at times need to manually reset or clear  
your mailbox indicator. Legitimate messages may be interrupted by software  
aimed at prevention of SPAM or similar messages.  
Caller ID. If you do not want people you call to receive the number assigned to  
your phone, call us at 1-888-211-4PCS for information about automatic Caller ID  
blocking. The number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis  
by dialing *67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key). Caller ID blocking is  
not available when using Vision or Wireless Web services.  
TTY Access. A TTY (also known as 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. TTY  
doesn't work with all devices. If you have a TTY-capable device, it may not  
function effectively, or at all, when attempting 911 calls and should not be relied  
on for such calls.  
Disclaimer of Warranties. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OF WARRANTIES,  
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY  
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES OR WIRELESS DEVICE. WE DO NOT  
PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND YOU AGREE TO  
HOLD US HARMLESS FOR ALL SUCH PROBLEMS.  
Limitation of Liability. Neither we nor our vendors, suppliers or licensors are  
liable for any damages arising out of or in connection with any: (a) act or omission  
by you, or another person or company; (b) providing or failing to provide  
Services, including deficiencies or problems with your wireless device, our  
network coverage or Services (e.g., dropped, blocked, interrupted calls/messages,  
etc.); (c) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly arising  
from the use of Services, any wireless devices or related accessories; (d) content  
or information accessed while using our Services, such as through the internet;  
(e) interruption or failure in accessing or attempting to access emergency services  
from your phone, including through 911, E911 or otherwise; or (f) events due to  
factors beyond our control, including acts of God (including, without limitation,  
weather-related phenomena, fire or earthquake), war, riot, strike, or orders of  
governmental authority. In the event we are found to be responsible to you for monetary  
damages relating to the Services (including wireless devices), you agree that any such  
damages will not exceed the pro-rated monthly recurring charge for your Services during  
the affected period.  
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE  
WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL  
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN  
CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES  
OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES,  
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR

COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION SURVIVES  
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.  
MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU  
AND SPRINT AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES  
OR DISPUTES AGAINST EACH OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS  
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SERVICES, ANY  
PHONES/EQUIPMENT, OR ADVERTISING, EVEN IF IT ARISES AFTER YOUR  
SERVICES HAVE TERMINATED, AND INCLUDING CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING  
AGAINST SPRINT'S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER  
REPRESENTATIVES, OR THAT SPRINT MAY BRING AGAINST YOU ("CLAIMS").  
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS  
PROVISIONS, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS OF WHETHER A  
CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. THIS PROVISION DOES NOT PREVENT  
EITHER YOU OR SPRINT FROM BRINGING APPROPRIATE CLAIMS IN SMALL  
CLAIMS COURT, BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OR A  
STATE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.  
YOU AND SPRINT FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL  
JOIN ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN A  
LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING; THAT NO CLAIM EITHER  
SPRINT OR YOU HAS AGAINST THE OTHER SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-  
WIDE BASIS; AND THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL ASSERT A CLAIM IN A  
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE. IF FOR ANY  
REASON THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO A CLAIM, WE  
AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.  
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The  
arbitration will be filed with and the arbitrator will be selected according to the  
rules of either JAMS or the National Arbitration Forum ("NAF"), or, alternatively, as  
we may mutually agree. We agree to act in good faith in selecting an arbitrator.  
The arbitration will be conducted by and under the then-applicable rules of JAMS  
or NAF, wherever the arbitration is filed or, if the arbitrator is chosen by mutual  
agreement of the parties, the then-applicable rules of JAMS will apply unless the  
parties agree otherwise. All expedited procedures prescribed by the applicable  
rules will apply. We agree to pay our respective arbitration costs, except as  
otherwise required by rules of JAMS or NAF, as applicable, but the arbitrator can  
apportion these costs as appropriate. The arbitrator's decision and award is final  
and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with  
jurisdiction.  
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject  
to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels  
arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other party's costs and  
expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including  
attorneys' fees.  
If any portion of this Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes section is determined to  
be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Section remains in full force and  
effect.

Miscellaneous. You may notify us by calling us at 1-888-211-4PCS, or use that  
number to get our current address for written notice. We may send you notice to  
your last known address in our invoicing records, or by calling leaving you a voice  
message on your wireless device or home phone. Properly addressed written  
notice is effective three days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid. This  
Agreement is governed by and must be construed under federal law and the laws  
of the State of Kansas, without regard to choice of law principles. If either of us  
waives or fails to enforce any requirement under this Agreement in any one  
instance, that does not waive our right to later enforce that requirement. If any  
part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement  
remains in full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive, non-  
interpretive purposes only. You may not assign this Agreement to any other  
person or entity without our prior written approval. This Agreement (including  
any referenced documents and attachments) makes up the entire agreement  
between us and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements.

the Service. All uses of your information will be in accordance with our privacy  
policy, as set forth in the following Privacy Policy. As this policy may be updated  
from time to time, a current version can be found at www.sprintpcs.com.  
PRIVACY POLICY  
(a) Sprint respects the privacy of its customers, and other individuals and  
businesses using the Websites owned and operated by Sprint and its Affiliates  
(“Sprint Websites”). This updated Privacy Policy effective October 22, 2001, is to  
keep you informed about the types of information collected on Sprint Websites  
and how the information is used and protected. The revised Privacy Policy  
includes information about advertisements on Sprint Websites and access to your  
account information.  
Sprint protects the privacy of its local, long distance and wireless customers  
consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act and rules and regulations  
issued by the Federal Communications Commission.  
Sprint's Privacy Policy for its high speed Internet services can be accessed at:  
www.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
203  
There are two types of information that may be exchanged between the Sprint site  
and the user during each visit to a Sprint site. They are:  
1. General technical data transmitted between your computer and the Sprint  
site that does not identify you personally.  
2. Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily share. The types of  
personally identifiable information that you might share include your name,  
address, phone number, email address and credit card number.  
(b) Anonymous Information  
In order to provide you with the information and services that you look for from  
the Sprint Websites, Sprint gathers certain types of information from you that are  
not personally identifiable. This is called anonymous information and includes:  
1. The type of Internet browser you use when you visit  
2. The types of computer operating system you use  
3. The search engine you use to access the Sprint Websites (such as “AOL.com,”  
“Yahoo.com” or “Go.com”)  
4. The specific Sprint Website that you visit (sprint.com,  
sprintpcs.com, etc.).  
The anonymous information collected is not associated with you personally or  
your business. Sprint uses this anonymous information in the aggregate to  
improve Sprint Websites and the services we provide through those sites.  
(c) Use Of Cookies  
Sprint Websites may use “cookies” to collect the anonymous information  
described in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of encrypted data that are loaded  
by a Sprint server onto your computer or other device when you visit a Sprint  
Website. The server can retrieve the cookies the next time you visit a site and use  
them to identify the computer as a return visitor. Sprint uses cookies to collect  
non-personally identifiable information and generically track usage patterns on the  
Sprint Websites in order to monitor activity and administer the sites. Sprint also  
uses information obtained from cookies to improve Sprint Websites, and make  
decisions concerning advertising, product offerings and services. Most users can  
disable cookies from their Internet browsers, receive a warning before a cookie is  
placed on their computer, and erase all cookies from their computer hard drives  
by following the instructions provided by the browser.  
(d) Advertisements On Sprint Websites  
Advertising companies deliver ads on some Sprint Websites. You should be aware  
that when you click on these ads, the advertising companies may also deploy  
cookies to receive anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on  
Sprint Websites and other Websites. This information is associated with your Web  
browser, but cannot be associated with your name or email address without your  
permission. Therefore, advertising companies may know where your computer  
goes on the Web, but they do not know who you are unless you tell them. Sprint  
does not provide personally identifiable information about its customers or Sprint  
Website visitors to these advertising companies.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
204  
(e) Personally Identifiable Information  
Sprint may ask you to provide what is often referred to as “personally identifiable  
information” such as your name, address, telephone number and email address  
when you use Sprint Websites to: purchase a service or product online, enter a  
contest or sweepstakes, ask to receive information, respond to a survey, register  
with a Sprint Website, access your account, ask for a personalized service, request  
customer service online, or apply for a job. You always have the alternative of  
mailing or calling Sprint with the information requested if you do not wish to  
provide it online. Personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website  
to order Sprint services other than Internet services will be protected in the same  
manner as when the information is provided by other means such as over the  
telephone or by mail. We protect customer information obtained from the local,  
long distance and wireless service customers of Sprint consistent with federal  
laws governing telecommunications services and with regulations issued by the  
Federal Communications Commission. Sprint's Privacy Policy for its Internet  
services can be accessed at: www.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices.  
We use personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website in the  
following ways unless otherwise specified:  
1. For its intended purpose (such as to complete an online order  
for service).  
2. To provide you with information about new Sprint PCS Products and  
Services or products and services offered in conjunction with Sprint business  
partners.  
(f) Disclosure To Third Parties  
Sprint will not sell or disclose to outside parties any personally identifiable  
information obtained from a Sprint online service or the registration at a Sprint  
Website without your consent except under the following circumstances:  
1. When required by law,  
2. When disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a customer, third party  
or Sprint's property,  
3. If it is required in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a portion of  
Sprint's assets.  
When Sprint uses agents, contractors or other companies to perform services on  
its behalf, Sprint will require that they protect your personally identifiable  
information consistent with this Privacy Policy. Sprint may share the anonymous  
information described in this Privacy Policy with third parties from time-to-time.  
(g) Email Communications  
Email is an increasingly popular communication tool through which you and your  
business may communicate with Sprint. Likewise, Sprint may use email to  
communicate with you, respond to your email, and to tell you about new  
products and services. If you do not wish to receive email promotions and new  
products and service announcements from Sprint, please follow the instructions  
that appear at the end of the email communication that you receive from Sprint to  
have your name removed from the list.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
205  
(h) Security  
Sprint utilizes several encryption methods to ensure that the data you submit on  
any of the Sprint Websites is secure. Through this “secure session,” information  
that you input into a Sprint online order form will be sent and will arrive privately  
and unaltered at a Sprint server. This security prohibits access to your information  
by other companies and Web users.  
(i) Children  
Sprint does not intend to collect personally identifiable information from  
individuals under 18 years of age. If Sprint becomes aware that a user who is  
under 18 is using a Sprint Website, Sprint will specifically instruct that individual  
that they are not to submit information on Sprint Websites without a parent or  
guardian's consent. If a child has provided Sprint with personally identifiable  
information without the knowledge of Sprint, a parent or guardian of the child  
may contact Sprint at [email protected] and Sprint will delete the child's  
information from our existing files.  
(j) Links  
Some Sprint Websites contain links to other Websites that are owned and operated  
by parties other than Sprint. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not  
extend to any Websites other than those owned and controlled by Sprint.  
(k) Account Information  
You may always contact us at [email protected] or by telephone or mail to  
verify your name, address, email address, telephone number and/or billing  
information. Sprint will correct any information that is inaccurate.  
(l) Questions  
If you have questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact  
us at [email protected]. If you have submitted personally identifiable  
information, and would like that information deleted from our records, please  
contact us at our email address, [email protected]. We will use reasonable
