Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
GeneralPrecautions  
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.  
Avoidexposingyourphoneandaccessoriestorainorliquidspills. Ifyour  
phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the  
battery.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of  
time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment  
andcanbebroken. Avoiddropping, hitting, bending, orsittingonit.  
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.

MaintainingSafeUseofandAccessto  
YourPhone  
DoNot RelyonYourPhoneforEmergencyCalls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee  
connection in all conditions.Therefore you should never rely solely upon  
any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical  
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks  
or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.  
Check with your local service provider for details.  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
249  
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.  
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: Alwaysturnoffthephoneinhealth-carefacilitiesandrequest 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.  
250  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
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: Nevertransport orstoreflammablegas, flammableliquids, orexplosivesinthe  
compartment 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.  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
251  
UsingYourPhoneWithaHearingAid  
Device  
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When  
some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids  
and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining  
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference  
they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their  
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be  
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. YourSCP-8400by  
SanyohasanM3rating.  
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  
an M2 immunity level. Add the “M”ratings of your hearing aid and your  
phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered 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.

CaringfortheBattery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone  
batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many,  
if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,  
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable  
manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with  
Sprint PCS® Phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and  
accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use  
only Sprint-or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found  
at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-  
343-1114 to order.They’re also available at www.sprint.com— click the  
Wirelesslink under Personal, and then click Accessoriesunder  
ShoptheSprint PCSStoreOnline. Buying the right batteries and  
accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that  
range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
253  
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:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
DisposalofLithiumIon(Li-Ion)Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion 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.  
Radiofrequency(RF)Energy  
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 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  
254  
Section 4A: Important Safety Information  
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this  
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,  
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated  
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard  
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published  
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
Body-WornOperation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use the Sprint-supplied or Sprint-approved carrying  
case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn  
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters 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 FCCWeb site at  
SpecificAbsorptionRate(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 the SCP-8400 are:  
CellularCDMAmode(Part 22):  
Head: 1.08W/kg; Body-worn: 0.706W/kg  
PCSCDMAmode(Part 24):  
Head: 1.10W/kg; Body-worn: 1.33W/kg
