One day you’ll use a phone (even this phone) to download your

program your VCR or connect to your PC.  
To start connecting,  
just press .  
We honestly believe that we are closer to making all of these  
connections than anyone else. And well we should be. Thats why  
we’ve built our Sprint PCS Network from the ground up. Thats  
what our products and services are all about. And thats the kind  
of technology this phone is based on.  
If we’ve done our job as well as we think, you’ll seldom have to  
refer to this small book – although it has very easy-to-follow steps  
for getting the most out of your new Sprint PCS Service.  
The truth of the matter is this: We realize that you have been  
using phones all your life and take them pretty much for granted.  
You expect to clearly hear the voice on the other end, talk as long  
as you want, feel your conversation is private and not have to  
work hard merely to listen to a message.  
Thanks for choosing Sprint PCS.  
As we said – to start connecting, just press  
.
Thats partly why people are so intrigued with the new Sprint  
PCS Network and the phone you just purchased. Together, they  
could change the way you perceive wireless communications –  
especially when it comes to important things like really clear  
sound, privacy and time-saving features. Sprint PCS also has the  
potential to do something even more far-reaching – and thats to  
change the way people think about communicating.

Battery: Putting in the power.  
Display icons:  
What they tell you.  
Your new Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery,  
which must be charged when the battery icon flashes or if the  
phone turns itself off.  
Display icons are all the symbols or text that show up on your display screen. In  
short, they tell you whats going on. They’re shown below.  
Installing your battery.  
To install your battery, just follow these simple steps:  
Measures your current signal strength. The more  
bars there are, the stronger the signal.

1. Hold the battery with the label facing down, making sure the  
metal contacts at the base of the battery line up with the metal  
contacts on the base of the phone.

Shows the level of your battery charge. The more  
bars you see, the more power you have left. When  
the charge is low, the icon blinks and an alert tone is  
sounded.  
2. Place it on the back of the phone with the top of the battery  
about a quarter of an inch from the latch.  
ROAM  
Roaming  
If the icon is not displayed, you are in the Sprint PCS  
Network. If the icon is displayed (not flashing), you  
are in a PCS network with which Sprint PCS has a  
roaming agreement. If the icon is flashing, you are in  
an unknown service area.  
3. Gently slide the battery toward the top of the phone until it  
clicks into place.

Turning your phone on and off.  
Charging your battery.  
When you’re ready to turn on your Sprint PCS Phone, check to  
see that the charged battery has been installed in the back of the  
phone or that you have an external power source (the Rapid  
Cigarette Lighter Adapter or the Hands-Free Car Kit). Then,  
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged  
just by checking the lower-right corner of your phones display,  
where the battery charge indicator is located. When the battery  
charge level is low, the battery icon will blink and the phone will  
sound a tone.  
simply press  
. The red light flashes briefly and the banner is  
displayed, which means you’re ready to make a call.  
If you continue to use your phone without recharging and the  
battery level becomes too low, it will turn off automatically. An  
alert tone will sound just before the phone turns itself off. If this  
happens, unfortunately you’ll lose whatever you were just doing.  
So, watch the indicator and make sure your level is okay.  
Turning off the phone is just as simple. Press  
for two  
seconds. The display will be blank when the power is off.  
Removing your battery.  
1. First, turn the power off to avoid losing stored numbers  
and messages.  
To charge your battery, you should use the Sprint PCS Rapid  
Desktop Charger, Travel Charger or Rapid Cigarette Lighter  
Adapter from Samsung. (The Rapid Desktop Charger is described  
in the next section. For more information on the travel charger  
and Rapid Cigarette Lighter Adapter, see the product user guide  
for each.)  
2. Press the battery release latch on the back of the phone while  
sliding the battery down toward the base of the phone.  
14  
15  
Once the battery has been completely discharged, it will automati-  
cally be charged (indicated by a red light).  
Using the rapid desktop charger.  
You should use only the Samsung-approved rapid desktop  
charger and AC adapter with this Sprint PCS Phone. Using the  
wrong one could cause damage.  
If you leave your phone turned on while its in the charger, your  
battery will take longer to charge.  
1. Plug one end of the AC adapter into the charger and the  
other end into a wall outlet.  
2. Insert either the battery pack alone or the phone with the  
battery pack installed into the charger slot.  
A red light on the charger will let you know the battery is being  
charged. A green light tells you when the battery is at least 90  
percent charged.  
If your battery’s charge is completely run down, it will take  
about two hours to fully recharge it (the extended battery takes  
about three hours to fully recharge). Use the phone until the  
battery icon flashes or the phone turns itself off. The rapid  
desktop charger has a built-in battery conditioner to discharge  
the battery (rear slot only).  
We recommend that you condition your battery once a month to  
extend its life. Insert the battery in the rear charger slot and then  
press and hold the side button for one second. After releasing the  
button, a flashing yellow light will indicate the battery is being  
discharged.

Understanding how your phone operates.  
Maintaining your phones peak performance.  
Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and  
receiver. When its turned on, it receives and transmits radio  
frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency  
range of 1.9 GHz. When your phone is in use, the system  
handling your call controls the power level.  
To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and  
satisfactory service – you should follow these rules:  
þ For best reception, extend the antenna fully.  
þ Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.  
þ Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.  
þ Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  
þ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Radio frequency safety.  
In 1991–1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics  
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute  
(ANSI) joined in updating ANSIs 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 a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE  
standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of  
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid  
spills. If your phone does get wet, turn the power off immediately  
and remove the battery pack. If it is inoperable, you should  
return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care  
for service.  
Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its  
accessories. Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.  
The design of the Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated  
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even  
further than the updated standard, you can choose to control  
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most  
power-efficient manner.  
54  
55  
Protecting your battery.  
þ Replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds  
of times before it will need to be replaced.  
For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:  
þ Only use Samsung-approved batteries (model numbers CSB-  
1000 and CEB-1000) and desktop and travel chargers (model  
numbers CDT-1000 and CTC-1000). These chargers are  
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries  
or chargers will invalidate your warranty and may cause  
damage as well.  
þ Do not store the battery in high-temperature areas for long  
periods of time. Follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C)  
More than one month: -4°F to 95°F (-20°C to 35°C)  
Using your phone while driving.  
þ To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that  
Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your  
attention from the road. Besides that, it is illegal in some states.  
Remember, safety comes first.  
range from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).  
þ Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
When using your Sprint PCS Phone in the car:  
þ Focus on driving, not talking.  
þ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
þ Keep the metal contacts at the top of the battery clean.  
þ Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
þ Use your Hands-Free Car Kit.  
If you must use the phone while driving, please use Speed Dial  
and Auto Answer modes.  
þ You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used  
for a long period of time.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO  
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
56  
57  
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.  
Disposal of batteries.  
You can return your unwanted Samsung batteries to your  
nearest Samsung Service Center. For the Samsung Service Center  
nearest you, call 1-888-987-HELP (U.S. only).  
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission  
before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note: In some areas, the disposal of rechargeable batteries in  
household or business trash may be prohibited.  
Turn off your phone before flying.  
You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding  
any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft  
systems, 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.  
Following safety guidelines.  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always  
follow any special regulations in a given area, and 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 radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS telephones  
may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
Restricting childrens access to your phone.  
Your PCS phone is not a toy, and should not be played with by  
children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the  
phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in  
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative  
to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from  
external RF signals. You should also check with the manufacturer  
regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
58  
59  
Cautions.  
Turn off your phone in dangerous areas.  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off  
your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction  
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Any changes or modifications to your Sprint PCS 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 other type will invalidate the warranty.  
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories  
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire  
resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
FCC notice.  
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close  
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop  
using the telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If  
you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any other area where you  
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.  
And last, but certainly not least, vehicles using liquefied  
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the  
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this  
standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association,  
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication  
Sales Division.  
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives  
in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone  
or accessories.
