Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger  
Use only Qwest-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Qwest-approved or  
manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk  
that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in  
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
Warning!  
Battery Capacity  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to  
recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to  
3.8 hours of continuous digital talk time.  
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.  
21

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  
22  
   
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 (  
warning tone.

Always use a Qwest-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle  
power adapter to charge your battery.  
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your  
phone and void the warranty.  
Warning!  
Using the Travel Charger  
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:  
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s power  
interface connector and the other end into an electrical outlet.  
A charging icon located in the top right corner of the outside  
LCD lets you know the battery is charging.  
An onscreen indicator lets you know that the battery is  
charged.  
It takes about three hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.  
For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must  
use an adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of  
the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.

device that allows people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or who have  
speech or language 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 wireless service, please call Qwest via the state  
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with this number:  
866-727-4889.

911 Emergency Calling  
WARNING  
Qwest recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by  
other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services  
(TRS), analog cellular, and landline 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  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off  
your home network. Your new digital dual-band a640 by Samsung®  
works anywhere on your home network and allows you to roam on other  
1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where agreements have been  
implemented with other carriers.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let  
you manage your roaming experience.  
79  
       
Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off your  
home network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming  
icon (  
).  
Remember, when you are using your phone off your home network,  
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip:  
You may 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 your home  
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 your home network, your call is  
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network  
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to  
your home network.  
Note:  
80  
 
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming  
When you are roaming off your home 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 time.  
To check your voicemail while roaming:  
1. Dial 1 + area code + your wireless phone number.  
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press  
.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.  
When you return to your home network, voicemail notification will resume  
as normal.  
81  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the  
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone  
accepts.  
Set Mode  
Choose from three different settings on your digital dual- band phone to  
control your roaming experience.  
To set your phone’s roam mode:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.  
2. To select an option, highlight it and press  
.
Automatic seeks Qwest Service. When Qwest Service is  
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate network.  
Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming network.  
The previous setting (Digital or Automatic) is restored the next  
time the phone is turned on.  
Digital allows you to access your home network only and  
prevents roaming on other networks.  
82  
   
Using Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off your  
home 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 your home network.)  
To turn Call Guard on or off:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.  
2. Highlight On or Off and press  
.
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  
2. A message is displayed stating “Roaming rate applies. Press 1 to  
call.” To place the call, press  
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:  
1. Press  
2. A message is displayed stating “Roaming rate applies. Press 1 to  
answer.” To answer the call, press

If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to make  
and receive roaming calls.

Using Voice Dial  
Voice Dial allows you to dial any valid seven- or ten-digit North American  
phone number or Contacts entry by speaking the number or name  
naturally, without pausing.  
Tips for using Voice Dial:  
Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.  
When saying a number (Digit Dialing), speak at a normal speed and  
say each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.  
The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,  
eight, nine, and zero or oh. The phone does not recognize numbers  
such as “one eight hundred” for “1-800.” Instead, say “one-eight-  
zero-zero.”  
The phone recognizes only valid seven- or ten-digit North American  
phone numbers.  
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are  
using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which can  
significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. (See “Adapting Digit  
To place a call using Voice Dial:  
1. Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding  
. (The phone  
prompts you for a command.)  
2. Say Voice Dial. (The phone prompts you to say the name or number  
clearly.)  
3. Say a valid contact entry or seven- or ten-digit North American  
phone number naturally and clearly, or say a name from your  
Contacts.  
4. If the phone asks you, “Did you say,” followed by the correct name or  
number, say Yes.  
5. If the phone asks you, “Did you say,” followed by an incorrect name  
or number, say No. (If there are other alternatives, the phone will  
prompt you with the next one. You can also select the desired  
115  
     
number by using the navigation key. The phone will then dial the  
number.)  
Enabling/Disabling Digit Dial Choice Lists

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.  
Adapt Digit Dial ONLY if the system frequently misrecognizes 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 three 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 rerecord the sequence.

noises), say Yes.  
If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any problems, say No.  
(The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)  
7. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. (Repeat this step  
until you are satisfied with the recording.)  
8. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the recording  
process with the next set of digits.

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision  
This section will help you learn the basics of using your  
Sprint PCS Vision services, including managing your user name, launching  
a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you're automatically  
assigned a user name, which is typically based on your name and  
a number, followed by “@qwest.sprint.com.” (For example, if your  
phone number is 555-123-4567, your user name will be  
When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your user name is submitted to  
identify you to your home network. The user name is also useful as an  
address for email, as a way to personalize Web services, and as an online  
virtual identity.  
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You  
don't have to enter it.  
Finding Your User Name  
If you aren't sure what your user name is, you can easily find it on your  
phone.  
To find your user name:  
From standby mode, go to Menu > Settings > Phone Info >  
Phone Number.  
Section 3B: Sprint PCS Vision

Launching a Sprint PCS Vision Connection  
To launch a Sprint PCS Vision connection:  
Select Menu > Web. (Your Sprint PCS Vision connection will be  
open and the Sprint PCS Vision home page will be displayed.)  
The Sprint PCS Vision Home Page  
You can also press the navigation key right to access the  
Web.

While connecting, the following will appear on the screen: Vision  
Connecting....  
174  
Section 3B: Sprint PCS Vision  
     
If you had a previous Sprint PCS Vision connection, the last page you  
visited may be displayed 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 open and you will see the  
“Connecting...” message.  
Net Guard  
When you first connect to the Web, the Net Guard will appear to confirm  
that you want to connect. This feature helps you avoid accidental  
connections. You can disable the Net Guard in the future by selecting  
Always Auto-Connect when the Net Guard is displayed.  
To change your Net Guard settings:  
Select Menu >Settings > PCS Vision > Net Guard.  
On to activate the Net Guard.  
Off to deactivate the Net Guard.  
When enabled, the Net Guard appears only once per session. The Net  
Guard does not appear if the phone is merely reconnecting due to a  
time-out.

Important Safety Information  
In This Section  
This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will  
help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the information  
provided in this phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or  
property damage.  
191  
       
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and 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.  
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.  
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.  
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should  
service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous  
and void your warranty.  
Note:  
192  
 
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to  
Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all  
conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all  
cellular networks or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in  
use. Check with your local service provider for details.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
193  
 
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, flammable liquids, 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 invoice.  
194  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device  
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless  
phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users  
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune  
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference  
they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to  
assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing  
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated will have an “M3” or  
“M4” rating on the box. Your SPH-a640 by Samsung has an M3 rating.  
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/  
higher of the two ratings.  
Note:  
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone and  
hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your hearing  
device and degree of your hearing loss.  
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience  
interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings  
similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids. Most  
new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing  
aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considred usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of  
six for “best use.”  
Qwest further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3 or  
M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should  
you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With  
Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the telecoil setting.  
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time  
interval:

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.  
Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries  
overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these  
reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown  
or questionable manufacturing standards. Qwest is not aware of similar problems with  
Qwest phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by  
Qwest or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Qwest- or manufacturer-approved  
batteries and accessories found through your phone’s manufacturer, or online at  
www.qwestwireless.com/accessories. Buying the right batteries and accessories  
is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32°  
F to 113° F (0° C  
to 45° 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:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
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 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).  
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 Web site at www.fcc.gov.  
199  
 
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 A640 are:  
AMPS/CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 1.23 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.401 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 1.44 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.596 W/kg  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHa640S.
