TTY Use With 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.

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strengthinyourarea. Yourphoneinformsyouof thecurrentsignal
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.
UnderstandingthePowerSaveFeature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
PowerSavefeatureisautomaticallyactivated. If yourphoneisactive, it
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself
bypressinganykey. AnytimethePowerSavefeatureisactivated, a
messagedisplaysonthescreen. Whenasignalisfound, yourphone
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 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
updatingANSI’s1982standardforsafetylevelswithrespectto
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).

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
interferencewithaircraftsystems, theU.S. FederalAviation
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
Toavoidinterferingwithblastingoperations, turnoff yourphone
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion
or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
ᮣ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
ᮣ
Below deck on boats.
ᮣ
Fuelorchemicaltransferorstoragefacilities.
ᮣ
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.

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.
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoyourPhone
Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play

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 that the antenna is at least 1.9 cm

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
