TTY Use
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications
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.
To turn TTY Options on or off:

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
ࡗ ࡗ ࡗ 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
.
Ⅲ Automatic seeks Qwest Service. When Qwest Service is
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate network.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ 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

Activating Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows you to say commands to perform common

voice command.)
2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following commands:
Ⅲ Voice Dial
Ⅲ Contacts
Ⅲ Voice Memo

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:
ⅷ
Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.
ⅷ
When saying a number (Digit Dialing), speak at a normal speed and
say each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.
ⅷ
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.”
ⅷ
ⅷ
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:

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.

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the system
your voice. The adaptation process takes about three minutes.

General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and Speak directly
into the mouthpiece.
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
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:
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
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:
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
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:
ⅷ
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:
ⅷ
195
1. Press Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight.
2. Select Main Display or Keypad and press
3. Select the minimum time setting (8 seconds) and press
.
.
ⅷ
Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded antennae may produce
more interference.
ⅷ
ⅷ
Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.
196
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.
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:
ⅷ
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.

UL Certified Travel Adapter
The Travel Adapter for this phone has met UL 1310 safety requirements. Please adhere to
the following safety insturctions per UL guidelines.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS—SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, CAREFULLY FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
FOR CONNECTION TO A SUPPLY NOT IN THE U.S.A., USE AN ATTACHMENT PLUG
ADAPTOR OF THE PROPER CONFIGURATION FOR THE POWER OUTLET.
198
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.
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.
