Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the
R
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new [single band/dual band/
tri-mode] PCS Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network and allows you to roam on [analog and digital] networks virtually
anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 42
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Roaming Indicator
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +
number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling
features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products
and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 43
ᮣ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you should
periodically check your voicemail box for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press
when you hear
your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.
ᮣ
ᮣ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS
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 Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.
This behavior is normal for analog operation.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your phone
accepts.

system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
ᮣ
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
Controlling Roaming Charges Using
Call Guard
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming
charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming
charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls. It
also requires you to take additional steps before placing or answering a
roaming call. These additional steps are not required when you make or
receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:

If active, an extra step is required to make or take roaming calls.
If inactive, no extra step is required to make or take roaming calls.

Viewing History
You’ll find your Call History invaluable. It is a list of the last 10 phone
numbers or Internal Phone Book entries for calls you placed, accepted or
missed. Call History makes redialing a number fast and easy. It is
continually updated as new numbers are added to the beginning of the
list and the oldest entries are removed from the bottom of the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and Internal
Phone Book entry name (if the phone number is in your Internal Phone
Book). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may only appear
once on the list.

Digit Dial
Digit Dialing allows you use your Sprint PCS Phone to dial valid North
American phone numbers simply by speaking each digit.
Tips for digit dialing
ᮣ
Digit Dialing works best in quieter environments
ᮣ
Say each digit clearly. However, there is no need to pause between
digits.
ᮣ
The phone recognizes only the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. Therefore, you must say each digit
in the number. The phone can not recognize numbers such as "one
eight hundred" for "1-800." Say "one-eight-zero-zero" instead.
The phone only recognizes valid North American phone numbers.
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are
digit dialing, you may improve recognition accuracy by adapting the
system to your voice. See the section "Adapting Digit Dialing" for
details.

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
art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is knowing where and
how it works at optimum efficiency. This section outlines performance
and safety guidelines that ensure you experience the full quality that your
PCS Phone was designed to give you.
P
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 117
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 or you can check it yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message
displays 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 radio frequency (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 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).
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 118
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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or
call PCS Customer Solutions for service.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel
should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void
the warranty.
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.

Tip: Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.
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 radio frequency (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 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.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
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
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 120
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 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.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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,
just or metal powders.
ᮣ
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your 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 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 121
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-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-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.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the
FCC Notice
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 phone
if such interference cannot be eliminated.
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.
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. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters)
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Web site at
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 123
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 [SPH-A500] are:
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.1 W/kg; Body-worn: .62 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.33 W/kg; Body-worn: .34 W/kg
FCC Radio frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID
