your phone may not be available in Analog mode.  
Vibrating Ringer: This icon indicates that an incoming  
call will vibrate the phone rather than ring it. This feature  
can be used for quiet situations where you don’t want  
your ringer to disturb others or for loud situations where  
the ringer cannot be heard.  
Battery strength: This icon is always displayed when  
your phone is on, and shows the level of your battery  
charge. The more black bars you see, the greater the  
charge. When the battery becomes very low, an empty  
box appears and the phone flashes an alert; this  
indicates your phone is about to turn itself off.

In any city where Sprint PCS provides service.  
On other CDMA networks and conventional analog  
cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented  
roaming agreements.  
When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network,  
it’s called roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where  
Sprint PCS has agreements in place with digital CDMA or  
conventional analog cellular providers, you will pay the  
roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where they apply.  
Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have roaming

When you use your phone on other CDMA networks, your  
calling experience and call quality will be similar to what you  
experience when making calls from within the Sprint PCS  
Network. Although certain voice-calling features may not be  
available, your phone calls are still private and secure.  
When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your  
experience will be different. Cellular roaming will be similar  
to the quality provided by conventional analog cellular  
carriers today. Although you will still have the convenience of  
being able to make and receive voice calls, here are some  
differences you can expect:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,  
fade-out and dropped calls.  
Some features (such as Caller ID, Voice Dialing and Voice  
Memo) that are standard within the Sprint PCS Network  
may not be available.  
Sprint PCS Wireless Web and Fax calls cannot be  
connected.  
You will experience the same security and privacy risks  
(eavesdropping and phone number cloning) that exist  
with conventional analog cellular services today.  
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for  
cellular roaming than when you use it on a CDMA  
network.  
If you’re on your phone and leave a Sprint PCS Service Area,  
your call will be dropped. When reentering a Sprint PCS  
Service Area while on a roaming call, end the call, and then  
turn your phone off and on again to acquire Sprint PCS  
Service.

Your phone provides the option of dialing a number stored in  
the Internal Phone Book simply by dialing four digits. Enter  
any four consecutive digits of someone’s phone number (for  
instance, the last four digits), have your phone remember the  
rest of the number, and then dial it for you.  
To place a call using four-digit dialing:

When you call automated systems (like banking services),  
you are often required to enter a password or account  
number. Instead of manually entering the numbers each time,  
you can store the numbers in your Internal Phone Book,  
separated by special characters called pauses.  
There are two kinds of pauses that can be entered on your  
Sprint PCS Phone:  
Hard pause - A hard pause stops the dialing sequence  
TALK  
until you press the  
button.  
Two second pause - A two second pause stops the dialing  
sequence for two seconds and then automatically sends  
the remaining digits.  
Your phone has two pause dialing methods: pause dialing  
from the Internal Phone Book (see “Pause dialing from a  
stored Internal Phone Book entry” on page 45), and manual  
pause dialing (see “Manual pause dialing” on page 46).  
Note: Multiple two second pauses can be entered to extend  
the length of a pause. For example, two consecutive two  
second pauses cause a total pause time of four seconds.  
However, keep in mind that pauses count as digits towards  
the 32 digit dialing maximum.

Your Sprint PCS Phone lets you store up to 229 numbers and  
names in the Internal Phone Book. Each entry can have up to  
6 associated phone numbers. Each entry can contain up to 32  
digits including hard pauses, with an associated name of up  
to 12 characters. Name entry is optional. Stored phone  
numbers can be categorized as one of six categories - Home,  
Work, Mobile, Pager, Fax and No-label. You can even specify  
the memory location of your choice for each entry. Memory  
locations can be marked “Secret” preventing the  
unauthorized from seeing the telephone number.  
One-touch, two-touch, and three-touch dialing from your  
Internal Phone Book makes it easy to call a phone number  
stored in your Phone Book. See “Shortcuts to Memory

The voice quality of your phone will always be at its best  
when the antenna is not obstructed. If you’re inside a  
building, reception may be better near a window.  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your immediate area. When turned on, your  
phone will always give you a visual indication of the signal  
strength in your immediate area. The visual indicator is  
always in the upper left corner of your display and is referred  
to as the signal strength indicator:  
. More lines indicate  
more signal strength. Four lines indicate maximum strength  
and one line indicates least strength.

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency  
(RF) signals. When your phone is in use, the system handling  
your call controls the power level. This product meets all  
FCC requirements for RF power output levels for this handset  
type.

In 1991—1992, 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 industry  
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).  
The design of the 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.  
Observe the following RF safety precautions when using your  
phone:  
You should not touch the antenna unnecessarily when  
using the phone.  
Touching the antenna may affect the call quality and may  
cause the unit to operate at higher power than it would  
need otherwise.  
When using the handset, hold the handset just as you  
would hold any other telephone, and keep the antenna  
pointed up and over your shoulder.  
Use of hands-free devices will further limit RF exposure.

DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of  
dialing 911 or for any other essential or emergency

You should never use a hand-held phone while driving. It  
may divert your attention away from the road and may be  
illegal in some states. You should park your vehicle legally  
before using your hand-held phone. Remember, safety comes  
first.  
Your hand-held phone should be stored in a secure place  
so that, in the event of a sudden stop or collision with  
another vehicle, the phone will not damage property or  
injure anyone. For example, airbags inflate very quickly  
and with great force. Serious injury may result if you  
have placed your phone in the area of deployment of an  
air bag and the bag inflates.

where posted notices so require. For example, 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 use remote-controlled RF devices to set  
off explosives.  
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a

or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause  
an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
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 chemical or  
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other  
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your

RF signals from your phone may affect systems in your  
vehicle, including improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in  
motor vehicles (such as electronic ignition systems,  
electronic speed control systems, electronic anti-skid or anti-  
lock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and  
air bag systems). You should check with the manufacturer of  
your vehicle (and the manufacturers of any equipment added  
to your vehicle) to determine whether its systems are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals and to  
determine appropriate safety precautions.  
You must 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 and  
the appropriate safety precautions to take with such devices  
For example safety instructions for pacemakers may include  
minimum distances that the phone should be kept from the  
pacemaker, areas where the phone should not be kept (for  
example, the breast pocket), use of the ear opposite the  
pacemaker, and other such safety instructions. The advice  
from the manufacturers may change from time to time. If at  
any time you suspect any such interference, turn off your  
phone immediately.  
Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

For best battery performance, you should follow these  
guidelines:  
Use your battery for its intended purpose only.  
Only use Samsung-approved batteries and desktop  
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize  
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will  
invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as well.  
You must never use a battery charger that is damaged in  
any way or worn out.  
To avoid damage, only charge the battery in temperatures  
that range from 32° F to 104° F.  
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in  
high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).  
When a battery charger is not in use, disconnect it from  
the power source.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).  
Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.  
Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the  
battery, as injuries or burns may result.  
You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been  
used for a long period of time.  
Replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. It can be charged hundreds of  
times before it will need to be replaced.  
Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-  
circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may  
result.  
ꢀꢅꢉ  
 
To avoid damage, do not store the batteries at  
temperatures below -4° F or higher than 185° F and avoid  
leaving the batteries unused for very long periods of time  
without periodic charging. Follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 50° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 35° C)  
Note: Damage can occur to Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries if  
left uncharged. Li-Ion batteries should not be left with a  
charge level below 30%. Fully charge your Li-Ion battery prior  
to storing and periodically recharge your Li-Ion batteries.

You must follow these instructions when disposing of or  
recycling the battery:  
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell may  
explode. You must follow the regulations in your area  
regarding disposal of batteries.  
Do not open or puncture the battery; the released  
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the  
eyes and skin, and can be toxic if swallowed.  
Charge the battery in accordance with the instructions  
specified in this user guide. See “Charging the battery”  
on page 23.  
Return unwanted Samsung Lithium Ion batteries to your  
nearest Samsung Service Center. (Call toll free  
1-888-987-HELP (4357) in the U.S.)
