Some features which are standard on the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCSVision,
Sprint PCS Ready Link, and direct international dialing,
may not be available.

CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint 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.

learninghowthephoneworksandhowtocareforit.This
section outlines performance and safety guidelines that
help you understand the basic features of your phone’s
operation.
Section 4A: Safety
255
GettingtheMost Out ofYourReception
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.
UnderstandingthePowerSaveFeature
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 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
256
Section 4A: Safety
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ⅷ
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your
shoulder.
ⅷ
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
ⅷ
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ⅷ
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
ⅷ
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery.

FAILURETO FOLLOWTHE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEADTO 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.

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
257
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:Alwaysturnoffthephoneinhealthcarefacilitiesandrequest permissionbefore
usingthephonenearmedicalequipment.
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:
ⅷ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
ⅷ
Below deck on boats.
ⅷ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
258
Section 4A: Safety
ⅷ
ⅷ
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:Nevertransport orstoreflammablegas, liquidorexplosivesinthecompartment
ofyourvehiclethat containsyourphoneoraccessories.
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 Sprint PCS Invoice.
UsingYour PhoneWith a Hearing Aid
Device
Your Sprint PCS® Phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.
When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that have been rated will have an “M3”or “M4”rating on the box.
YourVI-2300 by Sanyo has an M3 rating.
Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between
your phone and hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level
of immunity of your hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to
experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid
devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least
Section 4A: Safety
259
an M2 immunity level. Add the “M”ratings of your hearing aid and your
phone to determine probable usability:
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to four is considred usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a
combined rating of six for “best use.”
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even
those not labeled M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that works
best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference
after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. With the
Sprint 14-day Risk-Free Guarantee you may return the phone within
14 days of purchase for a full refund.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience
WithYourVI-2300
To further minimize interference:
ⅷ
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the
telecoil setting.
ⅷ
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the
minimum time interval:
1. Press
to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings and press
3. Select Display and press
4. Select Backlight and press
.
.
.
5. Select MainLCD or Key and press
.
6. Select the minimum time interval setting and press
.
ⅷ
Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded antennae
may produce more interference.
ⅷ
ⅷ
Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Section 4A: Safety
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 1.6W/kg are considered safe for
use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of theVI-2300 are:
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part 22):
Head: 1.450W/kg; Body-worn: 1.130W/kg
PCSmode(Part 24):
Head: 1.280W/kg; Body-worn: 0.957W/kg
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
