Measures your current signal strength. The more
lines there are, the stronger the signal.
This means the phone is outside a service area.
When this is displayed, you cannot use your phone.
Tells you a call is in progress.
If the icon is not displayed, you are in the
Sprint PCS Network. If it is displayed (it may or
may not be flashing), you are on another service
provider’s network.
Indicates when you have messages waiting.
Indicates when the vibrate feature is set to ON.
Indicates when using the phone in analog roaming.
Shows the level of your battery charge. The more
black you see, the more power you have left. When
the charge is low, this icon blinks and an alert tone
is sounded.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bgd.png)
13
Using the battery.
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery.
Remember to fully charge your battery as soon as the charge
becomes low in order to maximize your talk and standby times.
Installing and removing the battery.
The battery snaps easily onto the back of the phone (bottom end
first) for quick installation and removal. Make sure to turn the
power off before removing the battery. Otherwise, you could lose
stored numbers and messages.
Charging the battery.
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged by
checking the upper-right corner of your Sprint PCS Phone’s
display. When the battery charge level gets low, the battery icon
will blink and the phone will sound a tone. If the battery
level gets too low, the phone will turn off automatically. A series of
alert tones will sound just before the phone turns itself off. If this
happens, unfortunately, you’ll lose whatever you were just doing.
So watch that indicator and make sure your battery charge level is
okay.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bge.png)
14
To charge your battery, you should use the standard AC adapter, or
the optional dual slot desktop charger or cigarette lighter adapter.
Using unauthorized accessories could cause damage.
Charging with the AC adapter.
Use only SANYO-approved adapter, model number SCP-01ADT,
with your Sprint PCS Phone. Using unauthorized accessories could
cause damage.
1. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
2. Plug the other end into the bottom of your Sprint PCS Phone,
with the battery attached.
Charging a completely discharged standard Lithium Ion battery
takes up to four hours.
If your phone is turned on, the red light will go on while charging.
The icon on the phone display will stop blinking when
charging is complete.
If your phone is turned off, the red light will go on
and “BATTERY CHARGING —Power Off” will show on display
while charging. The icon on the phone display will stop
blinking when charging is complete.
When the battery is completely discharged, you may wait for
several minutes until the red light will go on and “battery is
charging” will show on display.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bgf.png)
15
Using Your Phone:
Basic operations to place and
receive calls
Turning your phone on and off.
When you’re ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on, check to see
that the charged battery has been installed on the back of the phone
or that you have external power (meaning the cigarette lighter
adapter, hands-free car kit or AC adapter) with the battery
installed. Then, simply press
POWER
. The red light flashes briefly
and the banner is displayed, which means you’re ready to make a
call.
To turn your phone off, press
POWER
for one second until “Powering
Off” is displayed. Then release
POWER
. When your phone is turned
off, nothing is displayed on the screen.
Note: If
POWER
is pressed for less than one second, the phone will
not turn off. This keeps your phone from being turned off
accidentally.
Standby mode.
Standby is the most basic state of the phone. The phone goes into
standby mode soon after you turn it on or whenever you press
END . When your Sprint PCS Phone is on but no call is in
progress, the phone is in standby mode.
16
When your phone has acquired service, the greeting banner will be
displayed along with the date and time. The menu options will be
displayed on the lower half of the screen. This is known as the
standby display or standby mode. While in the standby mode, use
the rocker key to highlight the menu option you wish to select, or
enter a phone number using the keypad.
Power Save mode.
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Power Save feature that will
be activated automatically if your phone hasn’t been able to find a
signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active, the
phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone will automatically
check for a signal periodically. To manually prompt the phone to
check for a signal, press any key. A “Power Save” message on the
display will let you know when the phone is operating in Power Save
mode.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bg11.png)
17
Making a call.
Whenever you make a call, follow these simple steps:
1. First, check to see that your phone is on. If you see the display
indicators on the screen, that means the power is on.
2. Enter the phone number you’re calling.
3. Press
TALK
.
4. When you’re finished with your call, press END to disconnect.
You can also make calls from your Internal Phone Book (see page
42) or from your recent calls list (see page 38).
Correcting dialing mistakes.
If you make a mistake while dialing a phone number, press
CLR
to
erase one digit at a time. You can delete the entire number at once
by pressing
CLR
and holding it down for at least one second.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bg12.png)
18
Answering calls.
Your Sprint PCS Phone must be turned on before you can receive
calls. When your phone rings (“Incoming Call” displays and the
Red Light flashes), press
TALK
to answer. You can also answer by
pressing any key (other than
POWER
or END ). Before you do this,
you have to set Any Key Answer function on (See page 55).
To disconnect the call when you’re through, press END .
Where you can use your phone.
Your Sprint PCS Phone is dual-band, which means you can use it
to make and receive calls in many places:
In any city where Sprint PCS provides service
On other PCS CDMA networks and conventional analog
cellular networks where automatic roaming is available.
When you use your phone outside the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, it’s called roaming. If you’re in
an area where Sprint PCS has implemented roaming with PCS
CDMA or conventional analog providers, you will pay the
roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where they apply.
Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have a roaming
agreement, you will still be able to make (but not receive)
calls using a credit card.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bg13.png)
19
What you’ll see.
You should always check your phone’s display because it will let
you know when you’re outside the Sprint PCS Network and
whether your phone is operating in analog. The chart below
indicates what you will see, depending on where you’re using your
phone.
Regardless of whether you’re using your phone on or off the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, you should always dial numbers
using 10 digits (area code + number) when you make calls outside
your Sprint PCS Service Area. (This does not necessarily mean
you’ll be charged a long-distance rate.)

Calling experience.
When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your
calling experience and call quality will be similar to what you
experience when making calls from within the Sprint PCS
Network. Although certain calling features may not be available,
your phone calls are still private and secure.
When you use your phone on analog networks, your experience
will be different. Analog roaming will be similar to the quality
provided by conventional cellular carriers today. Although you will
still have the convenience of being able to make and receive calls,
here are some differences you can expect:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out
and dropped calls.
Some calling features such as caller ID and the message waiting
indicator that are standard within the Sprint PCS Network may
be unavailable.
You will experience the same security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and phone number cloning) that exist with
conventional cellular services today.
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for analog
roaming than when you use it on a CDMA network.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bg15.png)
21
If you are on the phone when you leave a Sprint PCS Service Area
and enter an area where roaming is available (whether PCS CDMA
or analog cellular), your call will be dropped. If your call is
dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS provides service,
turn your phone off and then on again to acquire Sprint PCS
Service.
If you need customer service for any reason while using your
phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, just dial
ABCABC 2
TALK
from your Sprint PCS Phone (in southern California, press
MNO
6
1
1
TALK
). However, because you’re outside
the Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local service
provider’s customer service instead of Sprint PCS Customer Care.
To be sure that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care, dial 1-888-
211-4PCS (4727).
Sprint PCS periodically implements new roaming agreements.
To ensure your phone is able to roam everywhere Sprint PCS has
roaming agreements, stop by Sprint PCS Center periodically for a
free roaming software upgrade.

Usage guidelines:
All about performance
and safety.
Keeping tabs on signal strength.
The voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always be at its
best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building,
reception may be better near a window.
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength
icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. (See page
12 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)
Understanding Power Save mode.
If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is
too weak, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to
conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a
signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically
recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually by
pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any
time Power Save has been activated.
60
Understanding how your phone operates.
Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency
range of 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz. When your phone is in use, the
system handling your call controls the power level.
Radio frequency safety.
In 1991–1992, 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 a hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
The design of this Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further
than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration
of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient
manner.
![](/img.php?id=38769&img=bg3d.png)
61
Maintaining your phone’s peak performance.
To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and
satisfactory service – you should follow these rules:
For best reception, fully extend the antenna.
Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your phone does get wet, turn the power off immediately and
remove the battery. If it is inoperable, you should return it to a
Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its
accessories. Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.

Protecting your battery.
For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:
Use only SANYO-approved batteries (model numbers
SCP-02LBPS and SCP-02LBPL) and AC adapter, cigarette
lighter adapter, and desktop charger (model number
SCP-01ADT for AC adapter; model number SCP-02CLA for
cigarette lighter adapter; model number SCP-02DTC for
desktop charger). These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate
your warranty and may cause damage as well.
To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).
Do not 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 at the bottom of the battery clean.
Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used for
a long period of time.

63
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it
will need to be replaced.
Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. Follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: -4˚F to 131˚F (-20˚C to 55˚C)
More than one month: -4˚F to 95˚F (-20˚C to 35˚C)
Driving.
Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states and
countries. For your safety, become familiar with the laws and
regulations for your area, and pull off the road and park if you
need to make a call.
If you must use the phone while driving, purchase
and have installed the optional Hands-Free Car Kit
or the headset.

Disposal of Lithium Ion batteries.
This product contains a Lithium Ion battery. Please ensure that
disposal of this battery is in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell may explode.
Do not open or puncture the battery; the released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin. This
substance also can be toxic if swallowed.
Following safety guidelines.
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always
follow any special regulations in a given area, and 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 radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS telephones
may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. You
should also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
65
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.
Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turn off your phone before flying.
You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any
aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
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.
Restricting children’s access to your phone.
Your phone is not a toy, and should not be played with by children.
They could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make
calls that increase your telephone bills.
66
Turn off your phone in dangerous areas.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should 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 are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of any vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.
Cautions.
Any changes or modifications to your Sprint PCS Phone not
expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for
this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Use only approved SANYO batteries, antennas and chargers. The
use of any other type of accessory may invalidate the warranty.
67
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 telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care.
And last, but certainly not least, 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,
