UsingYour Phone’s Battery and Charger  
BatteryCapacity  
Your PCS Vision Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)  
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully  
drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous digital  
talk time (2.5 hours in analog) or up to 168 hours of continuous  
digital standby time (33 hours in analog).  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon  
appears. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left,  
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, PCS Ready  
Link mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery  
before it runs out of power.  
InstallingtheBattery

ChargingtheBattery  
Your PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be  
charged as soon 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 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 low battery icon  
(
) appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.  
Always use a Sprint-approved travel charger or vehicle power adapter  
to charge your battery.

TTY UseWith PCS Service From Sprint  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer  
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by  
first dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint 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.

ControllingRoamingChargesUsingCallGuard  
Roamingistheabilitytomakeorreceivecallswhenyou’reoffthe  
SprintNationwidePCSNetwork. Your new dual-band/tri-mode  
RL-4920 by Sanyo works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and  
800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming  
agreements with other carriers.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features  
that let you manage your roaming experience.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
67  
Understanding Roaming  
RecognizingIconsontheDisplayScreen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is  
operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates  
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.  
Roaming Indicator  
Analog Indicator  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Digital Roam  
Analog Networks  
Analog Roam  
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: Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher  
per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks  
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and  
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls  
on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be  
able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.  
Note: PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
68  
RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar  
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some  
features, such as PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link, and PCS Voice Command,  
will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access  
voicemail. If you are accustomed to PCS Service, you may notice some  
of the following differences when using analog service:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and  
dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision,  
PCS Ready Link, and direct international dialing, may not be  
available.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are  
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail  
Messages While Roaming” on the next page).  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)  
that exist with conventional analog services today.  
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need  
to recharge it more often 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 phone may feel warm. This is  
normal for analog operation.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
69  
CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you  
may 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 period of time.  
Tocheckyourvoicemailwhileroaming:  
Dial 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number.  
When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail  
notification will resume as normal.  
SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your PCS Vision Phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine  
which signals your phone accepts.  
SetMode  
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode  
phone to control your roaming experience.

1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings and press  
3. Select Roaming and press  
4. Select SetMode and press

.
.
5. Select an option from the following and press  
.
Sprint allows you to access the enhanced Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.  
Automatic seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is  
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.  
Analog forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system.  
The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the  
next time the phone is turned on.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
70  
ControllingRoamingChargesUsingCallGuard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS 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 the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)

managing your User Name, launching a Vision connection, and  
navigating the Web with your PCS Vision Phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service, you’re  
automatically assigned a User Name. A User Name is typically based  
on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.” For  
example, the third John Smith to sign up for PCS Vision services  
might have [email protected] as his User Name. If you want a  
particular User Name, you can visit www.sprintpcs.com and get the  
name you want – as long as nobody else has it.  
When you use PCS Vision services, your User Name is submitted to  
identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS 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  
PCS Vision Phone. You don’t have to enter it.  
UpdatingYourUserName  
When you change the programmed User Name and select a new one,  
you have to update your User Name through your PCS Phone.

your phone’s operation.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
203  
Getting the Most Out ofYour Reception  
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength  
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; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the  
Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal  
is found, your phone returns to standby mode.  
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it  
receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the  
system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from  
0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety  
The design of your PCS Vision 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).  
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance  
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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
204  
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 andAccess to  
Your Phone  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS  
PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE  
UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving  
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.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or  
before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your  
attention from the road.  
Dial  
to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your  
wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when  
necessary.  
Tip:Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store, or call the PCS Accessory  
SM  
Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing  
on your PCS Vision Phone.  
FollowingSafetyGuidelines  
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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
205  
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (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.  
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
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.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
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.  
Note:Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your  
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
206  
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoYourPhone  
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  
PCS Invoice.  
Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and 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)  
DisposalofLithiumIon(LiIon)Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint  
authorized service center.  
SpecialNote: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  
This 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 (propane or butane) must comply with the  
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact  
the National Fire Protections 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-WornOperation  
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 the antenna  
is at least 2.2 cm from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
208  
SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones  
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 RL-4920 are:  
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part22):  
Head: 1.130 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.568 W/kg  
PCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 1.130 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.080 W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: AEZSCP-4920. More information on the phone’s SAR can be found

Consumer Information onWireless Phones  
(The following information comes from a consumer information Website jointly  
sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer  
Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced herein is dated  
July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website:  
Whatisradiofrequencyenergy(RF)?  
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of  
electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of  
the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-  
rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of  
waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through  
space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.  
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas.  
As they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All  
electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major differences  
between the different types of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of  
the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set time  
period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The  
frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any  
electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the  
speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in units called  
hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One kilohertz (kHz) equals one  
thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million waves per  
second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per second.  
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per  
second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a  
subset of radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million  
waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).  
Howisradiofrequencyenergyused?  
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio  
and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire  
department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on  
RF energy.  
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and  
sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave  
frequencies, can heat water. Since most food has a high water content,  
microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and  
airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use  
RF energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items such  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
210  
as shoes and pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy include  
pacemaker monitoring and programming.  
Howisradiofrequencyradiationmeasured?  
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is  
often convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each  
component. For example, the unit “volts per meter” (V/m) is used to measure  
the electric field strength, and the unit “amperes per meter” (A/m) is used to  
express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF  
field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power per  
unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts  
(one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one  
millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2).  
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the  
body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the  
rate of absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per  
kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).  
WhatbiologicaleffectscanbecausedbyRFenergy?  
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the  
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.  
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma  
rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are  
stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can  
permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.  
Ionization only occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as  
X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing  
ionizing radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants).  
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio  
waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms  
and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other  
types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and  
other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.  
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and  
increase body temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are  
particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow  
in them to carry away excess heat.  
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too  
low to produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some  
people have questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF  
energy. It is generally agreed that further research is needed to determine what  
effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the  
meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are  
continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether  
changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
211  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
WhatlevelsofRFenergyareconsideredsafe?  
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to  
radiofrequency energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for  
both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used  
safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.  
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are  
derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of  
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations  
were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,  
government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature  
related to the biological effects of RF energy.  
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by  
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).  
The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE,  
with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure  
levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from  
certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the World  
Health Organization is working to provide a framework for international  
harmonization of RF safety standards.  
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific  
Absorption Rate (SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4 W/kg) as a threshold  
level of exposure at which harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure  
guidelines in terms of field strength, power density and localized SAR were then  
derived from this threshold value. In addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP  
guidelines vary depending on the frequency of the RF exposure. This is due to  
the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF energy varies with the  
frequency of the RF signal. The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure  
are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF  
energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the body, such as  
wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.  
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and  
magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at  
frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. The specific values can be found in two  
FCC bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65:  
WhyhastheFCCadoptedguidelinesforRFexposure?  
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that  
generate RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting  
services in the U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
212  
Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to determine radiation  
exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to  
recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert  
agencies and organizations, and has done so . (Our joint efforts with the FDA in  
developing this website is illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and  
consultation we engage in regarding this health and safety issue.)  
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has  
certain responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect  
the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of  
transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the  
environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated  
transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such  
environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF  
exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as required by the  
Telecommunications Act of 1996.  
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental  
radio stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to  
undergo routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application  
to the FCC for construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal  
of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines could lead  
to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment, possible  
Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an application.  
Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance with the FCC RF safety  
requirements can be found in the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65.  
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are  
normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.  
These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data  
indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the  
conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines  
under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from  
compliance, but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC’s policies  
on RF exposure and categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of  
the FCC’s Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].  
HowcanIobtaintheSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)valueformy  
wirelessphone?  
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate  
compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The  
relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user  
is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above. The FCC  
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.  
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many  
recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
213  
model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the  
phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the  
number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web address:  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page, you will see instructions for entering the  
FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee  
Code is the first three characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the  
FCC ID number). Then click on “Start Search.” The “Grant of Equipment  
Authorization” for your telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the  
section on “SAR Compliance,” “Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for  
RF Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for  
typical or maximum SAR for your phone.  
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the  
maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.”  
For phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000,  
detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated  
with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking  
on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic  
database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.  
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers  
may find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone  
manufacturers make SAR information available on their own Web sites. In  
addition, some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of  
wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no  
guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide  
SAR information to consumers in the instructional materials that come with  
the phones.  
Dohands-freekitsforwirelessphonesreducerisksfromexposuretoRF  
emissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-  
free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These  
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone,  
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On  
the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the  
body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless  
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless  
of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either  
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.  
DowirelessphoneaccessoriesthatclaimtoshieldtheheadfromRF  
radiationwork?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the  
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
214  
user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing  
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that  
these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits,  
these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The  
phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in  
RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged  
two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users  
from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,  
these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.  
Whatarewirelesstelephonebasestations?  
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular  
base stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations or  
telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of antennas and  
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are  
often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical heights for  
freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.  
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that  
are referred to as “omni-directional” antennas. These types of antennas are  
usually found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers  
now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations. These  
antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension. The  
antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One  
antenna in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the  
other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless  
phones.  
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the  
number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each  
transmitter. Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical  
cell site using sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be  
connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is  
unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time.  
When omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could  
theoretically use up to 96 transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and,  
once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters would be in operation  
simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS communications generally require  
fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS  
carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.  
Arewirelesstelephonebasestationssafe?  
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations  
travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation  
pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin  
pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single  
array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of  
electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
215  
the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure  
very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact,  
ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less  
than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So  
exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins.  
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with  
limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by  
government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made  
near cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed  
that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than the  
exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or  
near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would  
essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of  
the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very  
unlikely to occur.  
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof  
or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically  
encountered on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or  
exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly  
in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for  
such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are  
insignificant. General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances  
that might give rise to a concern about an facility’s conformance with FCC  
regulations can be found in A Local Government Official’s Guide to  
TransmittingAntenna RF Emission Safety:Rules, Procedures, and Practical  
Guidance. This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from  
harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.  
DoestheFCCroutinelymonitorradiofrequencyradiationfromantennas?  
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the  
emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC  
jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for  
evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers. If  
there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines  
for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC’s Office of Engineering and  
Technology or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation, and,  
if appropriate, perform actual measurements. Circumstances that could give  
rise to a concern about an facility’s conformance with FCC regulations can be  
found in in A Local Government Official’s Guide toTransmittingAntenna RF

DoestheFCCmaintainadatabasethatincludesinformationonthelocation

Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the  
service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)  
The FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the case  
of site specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is collected  
from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the case of  
market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority  
to operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using as many  
facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with  
specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.  
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu  
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of  
their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file  
structure. These extracts consist of multiple, very large files. The FCC’s Office of  
Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html. Entry points into the various  
databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and  
licensee name. For further information on the Commission’s existing databases,  
you can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected] or 202-418-2405.  
Canlocalandstategovernmentalbodiesestablishlimitsfor  
RFexposure?  
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations  
about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of  
1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF  
emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, “No State or local  
government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,  
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the  
basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent  
that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such  
emissions.” Further information on federal authority and FCC policy is available  
in a fact sheet from the FCC’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at  
Dowirelessphonesposeahealthhazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless  
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency  
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low  
levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce  
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
217  
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies  
of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies  
have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have  
not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers  
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons  
for inconsistent results.  
WhatisFDA’sroleconcerningthesafetyofwirelessphones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer  
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new  
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if  
wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is  
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of  
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or  
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA  
has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the  
following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the  
type emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the  
user that is not necessary for device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible  
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have  
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at  
the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United  
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies  
on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.  
While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones  
themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are  
typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
218  
phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions  
discussed in this document.  
Whatkindsofphonesarethesubjectofthisupdate?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-  
in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of  
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF  
exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety  
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health  
and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the  
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure  
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called  
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in  
a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF  
exposures well within the FCC’s compliance limits.  
Whataretheresultsoftheresearchdonealready?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies  
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments  
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic  
of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be  
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested  
that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory  
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with  
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the  
absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22  
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which  
people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results of  
such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or  
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other  
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health  
effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can  
answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone  
use in these studies was around three years.  
WhatresearchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromwireless  
phonesposesahealthrisk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people  
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.  
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,  
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a  
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
219  
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up  
may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.  
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing  
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The  
interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in  
measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many  
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or  
which model of phone is used.  
WhatisFDAdoingtofindoutmoreaboutthepossiblehealtheffectsof  
wirelessphoneRF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are  
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.  
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda  
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs  
around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public  
information documents on EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a  
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do  
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,  
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic  
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to  
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory  
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a  
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest  
research developments around the world.  
WhatstepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoradiofrequencyenergyfrom  
mywirelessphone?  
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there  
is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even  
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a  
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will  
reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day,  
you could place more distance between your body and the source of the  
RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For  
example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from  
your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
220  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.  
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can  
use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from  
wireless phone use.  
Whataboutchildrenusingwirelessphones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless  
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will  
reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that  
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the  
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a  
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that  
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their  
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard  
exists.  
Whataboutwirelessphoneinterferencewithmedicalequipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some  
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method  
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is  
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of  
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical  
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This  
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and  
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and  
helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and  
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no  
interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a  
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the  
IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions  
with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA  
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.  
WhichotherfederalagencieshaveresponsibilitiesrelatedtopotentialRF  
healtheffects?  
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,  
researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
221  
These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and  
Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information  
Administration (NTIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).  
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops  
performance standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products  
including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave  
ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product  
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF  
leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance  
standards for other RF-emitting products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal  
health agency in monitoring the latest research developments and advising  
other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used by the  
public, such as cellular and PCS phones.  
The FDA’s microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an  
exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured  
at five centimeters from the oven surface). The standard also requires ovens to  
have two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating  
microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is  
opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used  
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations are safe for consumer and  
industrial use. More information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.  
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public  
exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health  
are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an  
Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF health-  
related activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory  
responsibilities in this area.  
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous  
chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for  
exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was  
later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an  
earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the present time,  
OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes  
under OSHA’s “general duty clause” (for more information see:http://www.osha-  
slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html.  
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts  
research and investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to  
chemical and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF  
exposure guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never adopted by the  
agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its Physical Agents

222  
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible  
for authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum.  
Like the FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered  
adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government  
transmitters such as radar and military facilities.  
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological  
effects of RF energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted  
primarily at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force  
Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed  
with other sites in conjunction with a question on other sources of information,  
below.  
Whofundsandcarriesoutresearchonthebiologicaleffectsof  
RFenergy?  
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in  
laboratories in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most  
research has been funded by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive  
military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters.  
In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug  
Administration (FDA), have sponsored and conducted research in this area. At  
the present time, most of the non-military research on biological effects of RF  
energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry organizations. More research is  
being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.  
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International  
EMF Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of  
health concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains a Web site that  
provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
HowdoesFCCAuditCellPhoneRF?  
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed,  
FCC will occasionally conduct “post-grant” testing to determine whether  
production versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC  
regulatory requirements. The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet  
FCC’s regulatory requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from  
use and to refund the purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may  
be subject to civil or criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a  
risk of injury to the user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most  
important post-grant test, from a consumer’s perspective, is testing of the RF  
emissions of the phone. FCC measures the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the  
phone, following a very rigorous testing protocol. As is true for nearly any  
scientific measurement, there is a possibility that the test measurement may be  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
223  
less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference  
between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is because test  
measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test measurement  
and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors. This  
inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.When FCC  
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any  
measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is  
appropriate. This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it  
will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.  
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell  
phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current  
understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF  
emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a risk of injury  
to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an  
SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement uncertainty  
permitted by current measurement standards was added to the maximum  
permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well below any level known  
to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC’s approach with measurement  
uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any known risk from  
the RF emitted by cellular telephones.  
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute  
effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure  
to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many  
years). If new information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC’s  
measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both  
agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.

Agreement. Your agreement (“Agreement”) with Sprint Spectrum L.P. and any of its  
affiliates doing business as Sprint providing PCS Services (“Services”) to you is made  
up of these Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms”) and the Service Plan that we  
agree to provide you. Your “Service Plan” is described in our marketing materials,  
and includes the terms, rates and features we set for that Service Plan. In the  
agreement, we use the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “Sprint” to refer to Sprint  
Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint. You accept the agreement  
when you activate PCS Services or make any attempt to use our PCS Services (for  
example, attempting to place any call while on or roaming off the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network, using data services, etc.). We may change the Agreement at any time  
by giving you prior notice. Any changes to the Agreement are effective when we  
publish them. If you use our Services or make any payment to us on or after the  
effective date of the changes, you accept the changes. If we change a material term  
of the Agreement and that change has a material adverse effect on you, you may  
terminate the Agreement without an early termination fee by calling 1-888-211-4727  
within 30 days after the invoice date of the first invoice your receive after the  
changes go into effect. You understand and agree that taxes, Universal Service fees  
and other charges imposed by the government or based on government calculations  
may increase or decrease on a monthly basis, and that this paragraph does not apply  
to any increases in such taxes, Universal Service fees and other charges.  
ProvisionofService. Your purchase of a PCS Phone or other equipment does not  
mean that we must provide Services to you. We may decide not to provide Services to  
you for any lawful reason. We may request that you provide us with any information  
we reasonably require to determine whether you qualify for Services. Services in  
some areas are managed and provided under contract with Sprint by independent  
affiliates with access to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Some Services may not  
be available or may operate differently in certain affiliate markets or other areas.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
227  
CreditVerification. You must have and maintain satisfactory credit to receive and  
continue to receive Services. We will verify your credit before agreeing to provide  
Services to you and we may verify your credit at any time while we provide Services  
to you. Credit verification may include a review of credit reports that we receive from  
credit bureaus. If at any time we determine, in our sole discretion, that payment for  
Services may not be made when due, we may suspend Services and require that you  
provide payment on account or a guarantee of payment before we resume Services.  
ServicePlan. You may be eligible for a fixed length PCS Service Plan (“Term Service  
Plan”) or for a month-to-month Service Plan (“Non-Term Service Plan”). We  
determine the Service Plan for which you qualify. Except as permitted by the  
Agreement, you must maintain service with us on your Term Service Plan for the  
minimum term associated with that Term Service Plan. We may offer non-identical  
Service Plans to different individuals or entities. Services and coverage under some  
Service Plans may be more limited than available under other Service Plans. Your  
Service Plan sets out the charges for Services and is your Service Plan until that  
Service Plan is changed, you switch to a different Service Plan, or your Services  
terminate. Based on your credit rating or other factors, we may require that you  
make a deposit, prepayment, or a series of deposits or prepayments, or be subject  
to an account spending limit, before Services are activated or maintained.  
ChangingServicePlans. If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may change to a  
different Service Plan for which you qualify. Any change is effective at the start of  
your next full invoicing cycle unless otherwise specified by us at the time that you  
place your change order. If you change or add a different Service Plan or service  
feature and the change is effective prior to the start of your next full invoicing  
cycle, you will be invoiced a prorated amount. We may require a service charge for  
implementing any change directed by you in addition to the charges associated  
with the Service Plan or optional service features you select. If you are on a Term  
Service Plan and you want to change your service plan, you may be required to  
accept a new Term Service Plan and we may require you to pay the early  
termination fee set out in your Service Plan or other fee.  
Termination. Non-TermServicePlan. If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may  
terminate Services at any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this  
Agreement, we may terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. If your  
Service has been suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a reactivation  
fee. We may deactivate any Number before you receive notice of termination  
without liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or without cause.  
Termination. TermServicePlan. EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE AGREEMENT, IF  
YOU TERMINATE YOUR TERM SERVICE PLAN BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM,  
OR IF WE TERMINATE SERVICES FOR CAUSE BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM,  
YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATED  
WITH YOUR TERM SERVICE PLAN. No early termination fee is charged if you  
terminate a Term Service Plan in accordance with the return policy associated with  
your Term Service Plan. After the expiration of the term, the Terms relating to Non-  
Term Service Plans apply.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
228  
Termination. General. Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term  
Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you without liability if: (1)  
you breach any provision of this Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges  
for Services); or (2) you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise.  
If Services are terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, we will  
not prorate the monthly recurring charge to the date of termination, and you will  
not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes in your Service Plan.  
UseofServicesandEquipment;Availability. You must be at least 18 years old to  
subscribe to our Services. We may require you to provide proof of your age and  
identity. If you are under 18 years old you may be eligible for certain Services that  
have Account Spending Limits if a person 18 years or older is also named as a  
subscriber on the Account. Your PCS Phone will not accept the services of any  
wireless provider other than Sprint (but see Roaming). Services and equipment may  
not be used for any unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purpose. By requesting Services,  
you agree that you will not use Services and equipment in any unlawful, fraudulent  
or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease Services or equipment to anyone.  
Coverage. Most services are only available within the operating range of the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network (also see Roaming). Coverage is not available  
everywhere. Coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions within  
or beyond our control, including network problems, signal strength, your  
equipment, and atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions. We do not  
guarantee service availability or that there will be no interruptions or delays in  
Services (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.).  
Number. We may change the phone number (“Number”) assigned to your  
PCS device without compensation by giving you prior notice. You do not own the  
Number. You may not modify the Number we program into any phone or other  
equipment, duplicate the Number to any device other than that authorized by us  
or, except as allowed for by law, transfer (port) the Number to any other individual  
or entity. If you transfer the Number to another carrier, the terms of the Agreement  
(including the rights and obligations set forth in the Termination paragraphs) still  
apply. In certain instances, you may transfer a Number from another carrier to  
Sprint. Sprint does not in any way guarantee that such transfers to (or from) Sprint  
will be successful. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be responsible  
any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your PCS device. See our  
printed in-store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important  
information on Number transfers.  
PhoneActivationFee. You may be required to pay a non-refundable phone  
activation fee when you activate a new Number, have us switch a Number to a  
different phone, have your current Number changed, we activate a different phone  
on your existing account or your Service Plan says so.  
Charges. For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the time  
you first initiate contact between your phone or other wireless device and the  
network until the network connection is broken, whether or not you are successful  
in connecting with the service with which you seek to connect, even if the  
connection is later broken or dropped. An exception is that you are not charged for  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
229  
voice calls that are not completed. You are charged for completed calls to your  
Number from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is  
terminated. You will be charged peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated  
during the peak time periods applicable to your Service. You will be charged off-peak  
rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods  
applicable to your Service. In addition to these usage charges, you may be charged for  
recurring monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges,  
other usage charges, (including voicemail access, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.),  
connection fees, roaming charges, directory assistance, call completion charges,  
account review and management charges, optional features you select at an extra  
cost, surcharges related to government programs, and taxes. Charges for most  
Services are incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of use rounded  
up to the next highest minute. You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for  
Services provided to the Number for each phone or other equipment that our  
records show you activated, no matter who actually uses or has possession of the  
phone or other equipment at the time Services are provided.  
PCSVision(ThirdGeneration)Charges. For PCS Vision wireless services, you will be  
charged on a per kilobyte basis for data used, rather than for airtime used. As long as  
your PCS Vision device is connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
(“PCS Vision network”), you will be incurring data usage charges. You are  
responsible for all data activity from and directed to your PCS Phone, regardless of  
who initiates the activity. We will invoice you for all data directed to the internet  
address (or “IP address”) assigned to your device in a given PCS Vision session,  
regardless of whether your device actually receives the data. You will be charged for  
data usage initiated by others as well as those you initiate. You will be charged for  
additional data used in transporting and routing on the network. You will be charged  
for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including re-sent data, and  
for unsuccessful attempts to reach websites and use other applications and services,  
including those resulting from dropped network connections. If you use a Premium  
Service (including services provided by third parties but for which you are billed on  
your PCS Invoice), you will be charged for data used in transport and routing in  
addition to the charge for the Premium Service. The amount of data used and  
charged to you will vary widely, depending upon the specific PCS Vision wireless  
application or other service you use, the amount of data used in the specific  
application or service, and network congestion and other matters. For this and other  
reasons, estimates of data usage - for example, the size of downloadable files - will  
vary from what you actually use. You cannot receive incoming calls while using  
third generation services. Data usage will be rounded up to the next whole kilobyte.  
Kilobyte usage will be rounded up to the next full cent. Rounding up will occur at  
the end of each separate session or each clock hour (at the top of each hour), if the  
session spans more than 1 clock hour. When traveling on our PCS Vision network, a  
session may be ended and new session initiated, although no interruption to the  
actual data session will occur. Your invoice will not separately identify the number  
of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or services used.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
230  
PCSVisionPremiumServices. Your PCS Vision wireless services may allow you to  
access or download premium content for an additional charge. Certain PCS Vision  
services (e.g., games, ringers and screen savers) primarily contain premium  
services content. Access to and downloading of premium content is not included  
with PCS Vision services. The additional charges for this premium content will be  
billed to you on your PCS Invoice. You will be charged for this content (at rates and  
charges specified at the time of access or download) that will be in addition to data  
usage charges you will incur while connected to the enhanced PCS Vision network.  
We provide no warranties and make no representations or claims with regard to  
third-party Premium Services. In certain instances, subject to the terms of the  
content purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium items downloaded  
to available storage areas (e.g., your vault), including any pictures, games and other  
content. We may limit the amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a  
specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period). We may suspend your  
use of Premium Services without prior consent or notice if we have reason to  
suspect fraudulent or unauthorized use of your Premium Services account, but we  
make no assurances that we will suspend your account.  
OtherTermsApplicabletoPCSVisionWirelessUsage. Use of PCS Vision wireless  
services requires the purchase of a separate third generation wireless compatible  
phone or other device and is subject to any software, memory, storage or other  
limitation in the phone or other equipment. Not all applications and services work,  
or work the same, on all third generation wireless phones and devices. Check the  
materials accompanying your phone or device to determine which applications  
and services it will support. PCS Vision wireless services are not available while off  
the PCS Vision network. PCS Vision services are not available for server devices or  
host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or  
data sessions, or as substitutes for private lines or frame relay connections.  
Unlimited PCS Vision plans/options are only available with phones or PCS smart  
phones where the device is not being used as a modem in connection with other  
equipment (e.g., computers, PDAs, etc.) through use of connection kits or other  
phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth or other wireless technology.  
Sprint reserves the right to deny or to terminate service without notice for any  
misuse. Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services  
applications or other information provided by third parties and accessible through  
PCS Vision wireless services. Neither Sprint nor its vendors or licensors guarantees  
the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained through  
the PCS Vision wireless services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.  
Use of certain PCS Vision wireless services, including some messaging services,  
may result in the disclosure to others of your email address and other information  
about you in connection with your internet usage. Your accessing of, or use of,  
third party sites or services accessible PCS Vision wireless services may require the  
disclosure of information about you, subject to the policies of those sites and  
services. You consent to receiving advertising, warnings, alerts and other  
messages, including broadcast messages. Your access to PCS Vision wireless  
services is controlled by a password.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
231  
VoiceCommand. PCS Voice Command is an optional service that allows you to  
place calls by using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or similar  
emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command feature.  
Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a call completed from your  
Number using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or activate the  
TALK or similar key(s) and end when your call is terminated by hitting the END key  
or by returning to the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete  
another call without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate charge for  
that call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated. Airtime and  
applicable long distance charges will be applied to the entire length of a completed  
call initiated from Voice Command. Using Directory Assistance to input names into  
your Voice Command address book will incur additional charges.  
Invoicing. Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length. Invoicing cycles  
and dates may change from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in your  
Service Plan, monthly recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in  
advance. Charges for Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the  
charges accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges occurring  
before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not previously invoiced. If  
you are invoiced for usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes  
will be applied to your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle.  
However, if you change your PCS Service Plan between the time the usage was  
incurred and the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the  
prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage over included  
minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.  
Payment. If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit card  
or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or consent is required before we  
invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us or billed  
by us on behalf of a third party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your  
invoicing address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment. We  
reserve the right to require payment by money order, cashier’s check or other  
secured form of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing  
you for charges for Services or equipment, you must pay our costs and expenses of  
collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency  
and court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service provider,  
payments received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us and any  
remaining amounts are applied to sums due and owing to the third-party service  
provider. We may immediately charge an additional fee for any check or other  
negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial  
institution for any reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.  
LatePaymentCharges. Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date  
shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and equipment not made when  
due accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate  
allowed by law. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)  
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. If your Service has  
been suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a reactivation fee.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
232  
DisputedCharges. You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges  
invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the  
invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by notifying PCS Customer Service  
Solutions. Calls to our sales or general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If  
disputed invoice procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow them.  
AccountSpendingLimit. If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account  
Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit before we start  
Services to your Number, or as reasonably practicable after the limit is imposed. If  
we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending  
Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services (see  
Deposits). Charges for Services accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they  
are incurred. We may charge an initial ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL  
service fee, in addition to your recurring monthly service charge. We may suspend  
Services to your Number without prior notice to you when your account balance  
reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services are restored when you have paid any  
past due balance and pay a specified minimum amount to reduce your account  
balance below your Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount  
at any time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and the minimum  
amount by any method authorized by Sprint. Contact PCS Customer Service  
Solutions for information about authorized methods of making these payments. We  
may charge you a fee for calls that involve our live customer care services. If we  
provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis, Services and coverage  
may be limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even if they  
exceed the amount of your Account Spending Limit.  
ClearPay. If we agree to provide Services to you as a Clear Pay customer, we may  
suspend Services to your Number without prior notice to you immediately when  
your bill becomes past due. Even if your bill is not past due, we may suspend  
services if your unpaid usage exceeds $125 or another amount to be determined by  
your past credit or usage history. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep  
Services as a Clear Pay customer, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of  
payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Contact PCS Customer Service  
Solutions for information about authorized methods of making these payments. We  
may charge you a fee for calls that involve our live customer care services. If we  
provide Services to you on as a Clear Pay basis, Services and coverage may be  
limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services whether or not your  
Services are suspended or terminated.  
Deposits. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services, we will hold  
the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the  
deposit amount at any time to reflect revised estimated monthly charges based  
upon your usage. A deposit may not be used to pay any invoice (unless it is used to  
pay a final invoice) or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of time we  
hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are determined based on your  
credit and payment history. The rate of interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to  
change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services are terminated for  
any reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your deposit toward payment of  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
233  
outstanding charges and return any excess to you at your last known address within  
75 days after termination of Services. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the  
money to you and returns it to us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date  
of return and, during that period, we may charge a servicing fee against the deposit  
balance. Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for  
your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one-year period.  
WirelessWebandVoicePortalServices. Wireless Web Services are part of the  
Services that can be obtained through Sprint. Wireless Web Services are not  
available in all markets or while roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.  
Use of Wireless Web Services requires an Internet-ready PCS Phone or certain other  
equipment (or both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the  
phone or other equipment. Wireless Web Services are not available on PCS Vision  
phones or devices. The Caller ID blocking feature is not available when using  
Wireless Web Services. Any use of Wireless Web Services deducts from your Service  
Plan minutes. For data calls (including Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that are  
attempted, but not completed, you are charged for the time during which the  
network attempts to connect the call. You are charged for time spent connected to  
the Wireless Web or Voice Portal, including time spent browsing on the Internet or  
Voice Portal and reviewing or scrolling through Internet information on-line while  
still connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Not all Internet sites can be  
accessed and you may receive an error message if you attempt to access a site that  
cannot be accessed through Wireless Web Services. You are also charged for  
Wireless Web connections to review your PCS account information. Wireless Web  
Services are not available with all Service Plans. Sprint is not responsible for any  
opinions, advice, statements, services or other information provided by third-  
parties and accessible through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services.  
Neither Sprint nor its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or  
usefulness of information that is obtained through the Wireless Web Services or  
Voice Portal Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.  
TaxesandSurcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by or  
remitted directly to federal, state or local authorities, or foreign government on  
Services including, without limitation, sales, gross receipts, use, and excise taxes. If  
you claim any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt  
document. Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax-  
exempt document. We also invoice you for fees that we collect and remit to the  
government such as Universal Service, and for surcharges that we collect and keep  
to pay for the costs of complying with government mandates such as number  
pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service. These charges are neither taxes  
nor government imposed assessments.  
Roaming. Calls made while off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network are “roaming”  
calls. Your PCS Phone is specifically designed and engineered to work only on the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. It works on another CDMA PCS provider’s system  
only when a roaming agreement is in place between Sprint and the other providers.  
If your PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS provider’s  
system (in addition to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network) and a wireless analog  
telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming agreements are in place  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
234  
between Sprint and the other providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in  
place, you may be able to place roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card.  
If there is a gap or other interruption of coverage within a PCS coverage area that  
prevents connection with the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and your dual-band  
phone is set to roam automatically when outside PCS coverage, you may incur  
roaming fees within a PCS coverage area. Certain features and services may not be  
available when roaming (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call  
forwarding, etc.).  
PhonesandOtherEquipment. Phones and other equipment may be purchased and  
returned as provided in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of  
the phones or other equipment. The only warranties on the phones or other  
equipment are any limited warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no  
liability in connection with the phones and other equipment or for the  
manufacturers’ acts or omissions.  
LostorStolenEquipment. If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you  
must notify us by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions. You are responsible for  
all charges for Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen equipment  
before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number  
upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to provide  
evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police report or sworn statement). If  
the equipment is later found, we may require that you exchange it for another  
phone or other equipment before we reactivate Services (if we do reactivate  
Services), as well as require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate  
Services to any Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or  
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in  
investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.  
Messages. You will incur airtime usage charges when accessing your voicemail  
from your PCS Phone. You may also incur charges in accessing text messages from  
your PCS Phone. You may access your voicemail without incurring airtime usage  
charges by checking your voicemail from a wireline phone. We may impose limits  
on the number of voicemail or text message that can be retained through your  
PCS account. Audible or visual indicators of text or voicemail messages, including  
mailbox icons on your PCS Phone, may not always provide an up to date indication  
of new messages. In certain instances, you may be required to manually reset or  
clear your mailbox indicator.  
CallerID. If you do not want people you call to receive the Number assigned to your  
phone, you must call PCS Customer Service Solutions for information about  
automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number assigned to your phone can be blocked  
on a per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key), but  
Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on incoming  
calls to your Number depends on receiving the information from the calling party.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
235  
TTYAccess. A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications  
device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or  
language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. TTY doesn’t work with all  
PCS Phones. If you have a PCS TTY-capable phone, it may not function effectively, or  
at all, when attempting 911 calls due to the equipment or software of the answering  
agency. Therefore, a TTY device should not be relied on for 911 calls.  
Pay-Per-CallService. We will not complete calls from your Number to 900, 976 and  
similar numbers for pay-per-call services.  
InternationalCalling. You may be limited in the international destinations that you  
can call with Services. You should contact PCS Customer Service Solutions for  
information about international destinations that you cannot call.  
LimitationofLiability. Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole liability  
to you for any loss or damage arising out of providing or failing to provide Services  
(including mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors, or defects) does not  
exceed (1) in cases related to a specific piece of equipment, the prorated MRC for  
Services to the piece of equipment during the affected period, or (2) in cases not  
related to a specific piece of equipment, the prorated MRCs for Services to you  
during the affected period. Neither we nor our vendors, suppliers or licensors are  
liable for any damage arising out of or in connection with:  
a) any act or omission of any telecommunications service or other service  
provider other than us;  
b) any directory listing;  
c) any dropped calls or inability to place or receive calls;  
d) any interruption of Services, including interruptions caused by equipment or  
facilities failure or shortages, transmission limitations or system capacity  
limitations;  
e) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly arising from the  
use of Services, phones, equipment or accessories used in connection with the  
Services;  
f) the use of Wireless Web Services and PCS Vision applications and services,  
including the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained from the Internet  
using Wireless Web Services or from Voice Portal Services, PCS Vision wireless  
services or Internet services, content or applications not supported by Sprint PCS;  
g) any late or failed message delivery;  
h) any interruption or failure of 911 or E911 emergency services or identification  
of the Number, address or name associated with any person accessing or  
attempting to access emergency services from your phone;  
i) the installation or repair of any products or equipment by parties who are not  
our authorized employees or agents;  
j) events due to factors beyond our control, including acts of God (including,  
without limitation, weather-related phenomena, fire or earthquake), war, riot,  
strike, or orders of governmental authority;  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
236  
k) any act or omission of any third party or independent contractor that offers  
products or services in conjunction with or through the Services; or  
l) your negligent or intentional act or omission.  
NOCONSEQUENTIALOROTHERDAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE  
LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL  
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN  
CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES  
OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES,  
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR  
COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION SURVIVES  
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.  
Indemnification. You indemnify and defend us, our partners, directors, officers,  
employees and agents from and against any claim, action, damage, liability and  
expense arising out of or in connection with: (1) your acts or omissions that occur  
in connection with your use of the Services or equipment used in connection with  
the Services, and (2) any communications you make or receive using the Services.  
This indemnification extends to and includes any attorney’s fees and costs incurred  
by us arising from any actions or claims to which this indemnification applies, or  
from the contesting of the applicability of this provision. This section survives  
termination of this Agreement.  
MANDATORYARBITRATIONOFDISPUTES. ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR  
DISPUTE OF ANY KIND BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY AND/OR  
ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES,  
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,  
MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR  
EQUITABLE THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH  
CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND  
BINDING ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL  
ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A  
CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, NOTHING CONTAINED IN  
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL PRECLUDE THE CUSTOMER FROM  
RESOLVING ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT  
HE OR SHE OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE.  
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The  
arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of CPR or, alternatively, may be  
selected by agreement of the parties, who shall cooperate in good faith to select the  
arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by, and under the then-applicable  
rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. All expedited procedures  
prescribed by the applicable rules will apply. Any required hearing fees and costs  
shall be paid by the parties as required by the applicable rules or as required by  
applicable law, but the arbitrator shall have the power to apportion such costs as  
the arbitrator deems appropriate.The arbitrator’s decision and award will be final  
and binding (subject to the appeal clause below), and judgment on the award  
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
237  
An appeal may be taken under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure from any final  
award of any arbitral panel in any arbitration arising out of or related to this  
agreement that is conducted in accordance with the requirements of such Appeal  
Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and the appeal tribunal, the  
appeal shall be conducted at the place of the original arbitration.  
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to  
arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration,  
the party filing that action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred  
in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including attorney’s fees.  
Notices. You may get our current address for written notice by calling PCS Customer  
Service Solutions. Written notice to you is sent to your last known address in our  
invoicing records. Written notice is effective three days after deposit in the U.S.  
mail, postage prepaid, and properly addressed. Unless required by this Agreement  
or Applicable Laws, (1) you may notify us by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions,  
and (2) we may notify you by leaving a message for you on your PCS Phone,  
answering machine or with your answering service. Notice addresses may be  
changed by giving notice as provided in this section.  
ChoiceofLaw;Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and must be construed  
under federal law and the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to choice of  
law principles.  
General. If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available under this  
Agreement, that failure is not a waiver of the right or remedy for any other breach or  
failure by the other party. Our waiver of any requirement in any one instance is not a  
general waiver of that requirement and does not amend this Agreement. This  
Agreement is subject to any applicable federal and state law (collectively,  
“Applicable Laws”). If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable,  
that part is interpreted consistent with Applicable Laws as nearly as possible to  
reflect the original intentions of the parties and the rest of this Agreement remains in  
full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive purposes only and are not  
used to interpret this Agreement. You may not assign this Agreement to any other  
person or entity without our prior written approval. This Agreement (including any  
referenced documents and attachments) makes up the entire agreement between  
you and us and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements, representations,  
promises or understandings between you and us. The provisions of this Agreement  
that are contemplated to be enforceable after the termination of this Agreement  
survive termination of this Agreement. If there is a conflict, the Service Plan  
(including any Term Service Plan) controls over the Terms.
