Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that  
no training or adaptation is required. Some users with  
heavy accents or unusual voice characteristics may  
find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker-  
independent Digit Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature  
allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy  
through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit  
recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to  
performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.

Pairing With a Computer  
Configuring Incoming Voice Routing  
If you are going to be pairing with a computer’s  
Bluetooth interface, you will need to allow the computer  
to initiate pairing with your phone.  
Similarly, you may choose to have the incoming call  
(and associated audio) routed according to which  
device answers the call, rather than having the audio  
automatically routed to the headset when it is  
connected (paired).

General Precautions  
4A. Important Safety  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while  
using the phone.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
(page 187)  
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.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device (page 188)  
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.  
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

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
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

adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
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.  
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
Note  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also

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.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
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.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
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.  
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
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:  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
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.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your Samsung Exclaim™  
(SPH-M550) has an M4 and T3 rating.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,  
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or accessories.  
Note  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
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 invoice.  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
188  
4A. Important Safety Information  
 
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within  
30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about  
hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov,  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Highlight  
Backlight.  
and press  
> Settings > Display >  
2. Highlight the minimum time interval setting and press  
.
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
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 “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

Body-Worn Operation  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use a 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 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your  
body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web  
site at www.fcc.gov.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
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  
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.  
Measurements (NCRP).  
4A. Important Safety Information  
191  
 
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.
