phone on.

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

appear if there is no corresponding action available.  
Note:  
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security  
purposes, the code is not visible as you type.)  
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four  
digits of either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS

disabilities, to communicate by telephone.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please  
check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure  
that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone  
and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs  
into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not  
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device  
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call  
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications  
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing  
,
.
Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-  
4889.

911 Emergency Calling  
IMPORTANT  
NOTICE:  
Sprint recommends that TTY users make  
emergency calls 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.

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 Nationwide PCS Network. Your new Sprint PCS  
Vision Multimedia Phone MM-A800 by Samsung works  
anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and  
allows you to roam on other 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  
87  
       
Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when  
you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time  
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11  
digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip:  
Unless your Sprint 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 Nationwide PCS Network.  
However, you may not be able to access certain features,  
such as Sprint PCS Vision.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is  
available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an  
area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn  
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network.  
Note:  
88  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
 
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network, you will 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 Nationwide PCS 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 roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can  
determine which signals your phone accepts.

Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS  
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an  
alternate system.  
Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming  
system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic)  
is restored the next time the phone is turned on.  
Sprint allows you to access the enhanced  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents  
roaming on other networks.

Using Voice-Activated Dialing  
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.)  
Voice Activated dialing can also be configured to prompt  
you when the slider is opened. For more information, see  
“Voice Launch” on page 157.  
Tip:  
2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following  
commands:  
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
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

Using Call <Name or #>  
You can voice dial from 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.  
Calling Contacts Entries  
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.  
158  
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
   
Calling Nicknames  
Your Contact List incorporates a 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.  
Tip:  
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)  
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your contact list:  
ᮣ
Say “Call” followed immediately by a valid string of  
digits to be dialed, for example, say  
“Call 555 555 5555."  
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one  
digit at a time- 1-800 should be pronounced “One Eight  
Zero Zero.”  
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  
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
159  
   
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:  
ⅷ
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
ⅷ
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to  
speak.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:  
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings (  
).  
3. Select Voice Service (  
).  
).  
4. Select Digit Dialing (  
160  
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
5. Select Adapt Digits (  
) and press  
to begin. (The  
phone displays the first digit sequence.)  
6. 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.”)  
7. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no  
background noises), say Yes.  
8. If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems,  
say No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits  
again.)  
9. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.  
(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the  
recording.)  
10. 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.)  
11. Repeat steps 6-9 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  
Adaptation?”)  
12. 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.”  
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
161  
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.

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.”

Multimedia FAQs  
1. How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from  
Sprint PCS Video Mail?  
Multimedia Service lets you access high-quality video  
and audio clips provided by external sources. Video  
Mail lets you capture, upload and share videos that  
you personally create with your phone's built-in  
camcorder.  
2. How am I charged for Multimedia Service?  
It depends on whether you sign up for a Sprint PCS  
Vision Plan. Please see the following options below:  
A. Sprint PCS Vision Plan:  
ࡗ
With any Sprint PCS Vision Plan (other than the  
SprintTV Vision Plan), you can play an  
unlimited number of video/audio clips on your  
phone's display as long as you've subscribed to  
a channel (see next bullet). You also receive  
access to the Previews channel as a courtesy  
from Sprint. It doesn't cost you anything to play  
the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly  
fee for any channel subscriptions (see the  
following bullet).  
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player  
213  
   
ࡗ
In addition to complimentary access to the  
Previews channel, you can subscribe to any of  
the channels listed in the Available Channels  
section of your Channel Listings for an  
additional monthly fee. Clips within these  
channels will continue to be available to you as  
long as you continue to pay your monthly  
channel subscription fee.  
B. SprintTV Vision Plan:  
ࡗ
With this specific plan, you can play an  
unlimited number of video/audio clips on your  
phone's display and, in addition to the Previews  
channel, this plan includes the SprintTV  
Channel, giving you a comprehensive selection  
of audio/video clips from a variety of brands  
you know. It doesn't cost you anything to play  
the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly  
fee for any additional channels to which you  
subscribe (see the following bullet).  
ࡗ
For a monthly subscription fee, you can  
purchase access to a variety of other channels  
located in the Available Channels section of  
your Channel Listings. Clips within these  
channels will continue to be available to you as  
long as you continue to pay your monthly  
channel subscription fee.  
C. Any plan other than a Sprint PCS Vision Plan:  
ࡗ
If you do not sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision  
Plan (of any kind), your Sprint PCS Multimedia  
Phone still has the capability of playing audio or  
video clips, but you WILL be charged a fee for  
playing them (this includes any of the clips in  
214  
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player  
the Previews channel). The charge for playing  
the clip is based the clip's size and scope, and  
will vary depending on the clip.  
ࡗ
You will be charged a monthly subscription fee  
for any of the Available Channels you acquire  
access to (with the exception of the Previews  
channel, which is included as a courtesy from  
Sprint). If you purchase access to an Available  
Channel, clips within the channel will continue  
to be available to you as long as you continue to  
pay your monthly channel subscription fee.  
3. Will I know if I'm receiving an incoming call while I'm  
viewing or listening to an audio clip?  
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while  
you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail,  
the voicemail icon will appear on the screen.  
4. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it  
will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?  
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a  
listing of the available clips, with the clip's length  
appearing after the clip's title. In general, a clip's  
duration will depend on the story or content being  
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a few  
minutes.  
5. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I  
have my phone?  
As long as you are on the Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network, you will have access to the audio and video  
clips.  
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player  
215  
Multimedia Service does not work while roaming off of the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network or where service is  
unavailable.  
Note:  
6. Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?  
Not yet. This service currently provides media on  
demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed  
throughout the day, but that are not “live.” A menu of  
live media streams should become available in 2005.  
7. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a  
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I  
know it has been purchased?  
The next time you access your media player's  
Channel Listings, the purchased channel title and  
corresponding number will appear in the My  
Channels section.  
8. Why are some channels already pre-loaded into the My  
Channels section?  
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of  
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels  
automatically appear in the My Channels section of  
your Channel Listings.  
9. If I don't subscribe to Sprint PCS Vision Plan, am I still able  
to view the multimedia clips?  
Yes; for service access charges, please see option “C”  
in question 2 above.  
10. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll  
through all the channels in my Channel Listings?  
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You  
can simply press this number to quickly access the  
clips located within that channel.  
216  
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player  
When entering the specific channel number, channels 01 -  
09 do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access  
channel “07,” just press the “7” key.  
Tip:  
11. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the  
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?  
This happens when the media player is in the process  
of loading the data necessary to play the clip. It  
typically occurs when there is heavy traffic on the  
network.  
12. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?  
To cancel your Multimedia Service, visit  
www.sprintpcs.com and sign on to My PCS with your  
account number and password. From this page you  
have the ability to cancel the service and/or any  
Available Channels to which you subscribe.  
13. If I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into the  
phone's headset jack, can I slide the phone closed while I  
am playing an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the  
clip?  
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the  
phone's headset jack, the phone automatically goes  
into “headset mode,” allowing you to slide the phone  
closed and continue playing the clip (likewise, if your  
phone is in “headset mode,” a phone call will not  
become disconnected by sliding the phone closed).  
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player  
217  
14. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?  
Yes; while you are playing a clip, you can use the up  
and down navigation buttons to surf to a different  
channel. A small pop-up screen will appear that tells  
you which channel you are watching as well as other  
channels you have access to. Use the navigation  
buttons to scroll through the different channels.  
Once you find a channel that you want to watch,  
scroll to it and press  
(or simply wait  
approximately three seconds) and the channel will  
begin loading.

Using Voice Dictation  
VoiceSignal’s VoiceMode application enhances text  
messaging by adding dictation. In VoiceMode, you can use  
your voice to dictate words and punctuation into a text  
message, rather than keying in text using the phone  
keypad. Using VoiceMode, you can compose text  
messages much faster, and with fewer mistakes.  
To use VoiceMode, you simply hold down a button and  
speak the words or punctuation that you want to appear in  
your message, pausing briefly between each word.  
Adapting VoiceMode  
Before using VoiceMode, you must adapt dictation to work

automatically replaces the original recognized word  
in the text message. You can view a choice list for a  
word spoken by voice as many times as you like, as  
long as you have not switched out of VoiceMode.  
Spelling a Word  
If a word is not recognized and does not appear in the  
choice list, it might be because that word is not in the  
dictation dictionary. In this case, you can spell out the  
word manually. When you spell a word that is not part of  
the dictation dictionary, the new word is added to the  
dictionary. This enables VoiceMode to recognize the new  
word the next time it is spoken.  
To spell a word manually:  
1. Display the choice list for the word you want to spell  
out.  
2. Select the [Spell Word] item.You will see an empty  
text box, where you can manually spell the word  
using the keypad.  
3. As you start typing letters, you will see words with  
similar spellings appear below the text box. Use the  
up and down arrow keys to scroll the dictionary.  
While scrolling the dictionary, the words will  
populate the text box. Use the Back key to edit the  
entry in the text box.

Section 3A: Sprint PCS Service Features: The Basics  
Changing the Text Case:  
When using VoiceMode, you can specify the case (all caps,  
initial caps, or lower case) for text that you dictate. By  
default, VoiceMode formats text according to the context  
of the words in the message. For example, words following  
periods are capitalized.  
To specify the case of the next dictated word:  
1. In VoiceMode, press the Shift key. The text case icon  
changes to ABC (all caps). Press the Shift key again to  
change the text case icon to Abc (initial caps), or abc  
(lower case).  
2. Dictate the word you want to appear in the specified  
case.  
Changing the text case will only apply to the word spoken  
directly after specifying the case, and then VoiceMode will  
automatically switch back to default formatting of text.  
Entering Punctuation Characters:  
VoiceMode recognizes most punctuation characters by  
name. Refer to the following table for a complete list of the

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone  
Caring for the Battery  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice  
Owner’s Record  
Phone Guide Proprietary Notice  
Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is learning  
how the phone works and how to care for it. This section  
outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you  
understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4A: Safety  
285  
   
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 Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)  
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in  
updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human  
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and  
physicians from universities, government health agencies and  
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the  
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In  
August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
286  
Section 4A: Safety  
 
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint 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.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint  
Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221  
or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.  
Tip:  
SM  
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.  
Section 4A: Safety  
287  
 
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor  
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to  
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF  
signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment  
that has been added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as  
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals.  
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:  
ⅷ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders.  
288  
Section 4A: Safety  
ⅷ
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 phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they  
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls  
that increase your Sprint PCS Invoice.  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
ⅷ
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery chargers. These  
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other  
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
ⅷ
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.  
Section 4A: Safety  
289  
 
ⅷ
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 (Li-Ion) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest  
Sprint authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some  
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may  
be prohibited.  
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.  
Note:  
290  
Section 4A: Safety  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close  
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop  
using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (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 supplied or approved carrying  
case, holster or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint  
approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at  
www.fcc.gov.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
Section 4A: Safety  
291  
 
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 Sprint PCS VisionSM Multimedia  
Phone MM-A800 by Samsung® are:  
AMPSmode(Part22):  
Head: 1.42 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.848W/kg  
SprintPCSmode(Part24):  
Head:0.668W/kg; Body-worn: 0.819 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA800. More information  
on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
