Using Your Phone’s Battery
BatteryCapacity
Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery.
It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The
battery provides approximately 3.25 hours of continuous digital talk
time (1.7 hours in analog) or approximately 240 hours of continuous
digital standby time (23 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.
When there are approximately five 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.

Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to
install it:
1. Place the battery into the space
beneath the antenna with the metal
contacts at the bottom, facing
downward.
2. Gently press down until it’s in place
and the battery release latch snaps.
RemovingtheBattery
To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you
don’t lose any stored numbers or

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.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
RSprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode
PCS Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and
allows you to roam on other 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 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

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.

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: 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. 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 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
2D: ControllingYour Roaming Experience
77
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 Voice Command, and PCS Ready
Link, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and
access voicemail. You may experience the following differences:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link,
and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
ᮣ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press
when you hear
your greeting and enter your passcode at the prompt.
ᮣ
ᮣ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner 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 handset may feel warm. This
behavior is normal for analog operation.

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 PCS Vision User name. 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 PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and as
an online virtual identity.
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
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.
Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User name, that will automatically become
your PCS Vision User name.
Your User name will be automatically programmed into your
PCS Phone. You don’t have to enter it.

When you change the programmed User name and select a new one,
you have to update your User name through your PCS Phone.

features of your phone’s operation.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

215
Getting the Most Out of Your 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.
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 or you can check it yourself
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message displays 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 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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint
SM
Store or call PCS Customer Solutions for service.
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 and Access 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.

on your PCS 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.
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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety
218
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 off your phone
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.
ᮣ
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.
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoyourPhone
Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play
with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

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 desktop 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.
ᮣ
Keepthemetalcontactsontopofthebatteryclean.
ᮣ

Acknowledging Special Precautions
and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The 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 (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection
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 that the antenna is at least 1.9 cm
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

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 SCP-5500 are:
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part22)-Head:1.250W/kg;Body-worn:0.933W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.250 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.691 W/kg
