none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-

211-4PCS (4727).

Your Sprint 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 up to 3.5

hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 90 minutes in

analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery

icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of

talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then

powers down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and

standby times.

Note:

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and

charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Tip:

Installing the Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

ᮣ

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your

battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically

turns off and you will lose all the information you were just

working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery

level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the

upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the

battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks

and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Nokia-approved desktop charger, travel

charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage

to your phone and void the warranty.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a

telecommunications device that allows people who are

deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language

disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. A TTY

device will activate TTY mode on the phone when it is

properly connected. 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 Sprint PCS Service, please call

Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications

Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 711

. Then

provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

Note:

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY

devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

911 Emergency Calling

IMPORTANT

NOTICE:

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.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Section 2D

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

ࡗ

Understanding Roaming

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off

the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band

tri-mode VI-3155i by Nokia works anywhere on the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other

analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital 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 2D: Co ntrolling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when

you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time

you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon

(

). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming

icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam – .

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11

digits (1 + area code + number).

Tip:

Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you

will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note:

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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.

However, you may not be able to access certain features,

such as Sprint PCS Vision.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide

PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is

available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an

area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn

your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network.

Note:

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a

similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.

Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and

Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can

still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are

accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of

the following differences when using analog service:

ⅷ

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,

fade-out, and dropped calls.

ⅷ

Some features which are standard on the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint

PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are

unavailable.

ⅷ

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you

are roaming, you will not receive notification until you

return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See

“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on

page 70.)

ⅷ

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping

and cloning) that exist with conventional analog

services today.

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and

you will need to recharge it more often when you use

your phone for analog roaming.

When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may

feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Note:

Section 2D: Co ntrolling Your Roaming Experience

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Network, you will 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.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press OK.

3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the

voice prompts.

When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,

voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming

capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can

determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from five different settings on your dual-band

tri-mode phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set mode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press OK:

Ⅲ

Sprint—allows you to access the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents

roaming on other networks.

Automatic—seeks Sprint PCS Service. When

Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, the phone

searches for an alternate system.

Roaming only—forces the phone to seek a roaming

system. If no digital roam system is available, the

phone searches for an analog system.

Section 2D: Co ntrolling Your Roaming Experience

Controlling Roaming Charges Using

Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are

roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the

onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it

easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra

step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This

additional step is not required when you make or receive

calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call guard.

2. Highlight On or Off and press OK.

Voice dialing and Speed dialing are not available when you

are roaming with Call guard enabled.

Note:

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-

digit number and press

2. Select Yes.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press

2. Select Yes.

If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to

take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

the Web with your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision Phone and sign up for

service, you're automatically assigned a User name, which

is typically based on your name and a number, followed by

“@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to

[email protected] as his User name.)

When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User name

is submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Sprint PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and

as an online virtual identity.

Your User name will be automatically programmed into

your Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don't have to enter it.

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Caring for the Battery

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice

Owner’s Record

Phone Guide Proprietary Notice

Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is learning

how the phone works and how to care for it. This section

outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you

understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.

179

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

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.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

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.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

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.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

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).

180

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

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.

Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

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.

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel

should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void

the warranty.

Note:

181

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

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.

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint

Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221

or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.

Tip:

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.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

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.

Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

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.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

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.

Below deck on boats.

ⅷ

Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,

dust, or metal powders.

ⅷ

Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off

your vehicle’s engine.

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid 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 PCS Invoice.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s

performance.

ⅷ

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.

ⅷ

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.

ⅷ

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

ⅷ

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.

ⅷ

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:

-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)

More than one month:

-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest

Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some

areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may

be prohibited.

For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and

the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

This 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 (propane or butane) must

comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a

copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections

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-Worn Operation

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 the antenna is at least 2.2 centimeters

(9/10 inch) 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 FCC Website at

www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

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 VI-3155i by Nokia are:

AMPSmode(Part22):

Head: 1.22 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg

SprintPCSmode(Part24):

Head: 1.21 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.68 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.

FCC ID number: QMNRM-41. More information on the

phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
