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 National Network. Anytime
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon

(
).
Using Data Roam Guard
Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Tip
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band
M520 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint
National Network and allows you to roam on other
1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming
agreements have been implemented. This section
explains how roaming works as well as special features
that let you manage your roaming experience.
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 National
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as Power Vision, depending on
the available network.
Section 2D. Roaming

where you think network service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
network.
Note
Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.
Choose from three different settings on your digital
dual-band phone to control your roaming experience.

you can say the contact’s name or nickname when
using the voice features. For example, if you have
“John Smith” stored in your Contacts list and you add
“Dad” to the nickname field, you can call the contact by
saying either “Call John Smith” or “Call Dad.”
2. Say “Call” followed by the name and the label for
the number you wish to call. For example, say “Call
John Mobile.” The phone dials the number stored
for the contact “John” with the label “Mobile.”
If the location recognized for the name does not have a
number stored in Contacts, your phone will play the
message “No number available, John Smith, Mobile,”
and then launch the Contacts application for that
name.

there are multiple numbers stored for the contact, the
phone prompts you with “Which Number?” and
displays a list of options. You can select an option by

Tips for adapting Digit Dial:
Adapting Digit Dial
ⅷ Adapt digits in a quiet place.
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.
ⅷ Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to
speak.
ⅷ Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
ⅷ If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of
digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils
the recording, you can say or select “No” when the
prompt asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will
then be prompted to rerecord the sequence.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be
customized to your voice. Other people will not be able
to use Digit Dial on your phone unless they reset the
phone to factory defaults.
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:
1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Tools >
Voice Services.
2. Press Settings (left softkey) > Digit Dialing >
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently
misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore
the system to its original factory setting.
Note
Adapt Digits.
3. Press OK (left softkey) to begin the process. (The
phone displays the first digit sequence.)
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences
to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process
takes about three minutes.
88
Section 2H. Voice Services
4. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using
a normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back
your first set of digits and asks “Did the recording
sound OK?”)
7. When you are finished with a full session, you will
reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”
You can either allow the screen to time out or
press OK (left softkey) to return to the main standby
screen.
Ⅲ If the recording is acceptable (no mistakes and no
background noises), say “Yes” or press the left
softkey.
It is recommended that you perform the complete
adaptation of Digit Dial at least once to achieve the
maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation
is performed, you can always return later and resume
the process from the halfway point.
Note
Ⅲ If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any
problems, say “No” or press the right softkey. (The
phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)
Wait for the beep, and then record the digits
again. (Repeat this step until you are satisfied with
the recording.)
Resetting Digit Dial Adaptation
1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Tools >
Voice Services.
5. After confirming that the recording is acceptable,
repeat the recording process with the next set of
digits.

Following Safety Guidelines
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access
to Your Phone
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.
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
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 or mobile phone features are in use. Check
with your local service provider for details.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (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 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.
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.
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.
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also
dial # 2 2 2 on your phone.
Tip
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and
request permission before using the phone near medical
equipment.

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.
Your phone has 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

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

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.)
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.
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,
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.
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.)
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

Section 4A. Important Safety Information
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).
Disposal of Lithium Ion (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.
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.
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 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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.
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.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines.
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM520.
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.
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the
