No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail,
you will see the voicemail icon on the screen.
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s duration will depend on the story or content being
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.
3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have my device?
As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint Network, you will have access to the audio and video clips.
Note: Sprint TV service does not work while roaming off of the Nationwide Sprint Network or where service is unavailable.
4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?
It depends on the content provider. Some of the channels available through Sprint TV stream live content.
Others provide media on demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day, but
that are not “live.”
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is,
how do I know it has been purchased?
The next time you access the channel, you bypass the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the
available content.
6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able to view the multimedia clips?
Yes. For service access charges, please consult your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the device is loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when
there is heavy traffic on the network.
8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?
To cancel your Sprint TV service, visit www.sprint.com and sign on to My Sprint with your account number
and password. From this page, you have the ability to cancel the service or any channels to which you
subscribe.
9. If I put on my stereo headset and insert it into the device’s headset jack, can I turn off the screen while I am
playing an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the clip?
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the device’s headset jack, the device automatically goes
into “headset mode,” allowing you to turn the screen off and continue playing the clip. (Likewise, if your
device is in “headset mode,” a phone call will not disconnect when you turn off the screen.)
10. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?
Yes. While you are playing a clip, you can use the up and down navigation keys to surf to a different
channel. You will see a small pop-up screen that tells you which channel you are watching as well as
other channels that you have access to. Use the navigation keys to scroll through the different channels.
Once you find a channel that you want to watch, scroll to it and press (or simply wait approximately three
seconds), and the channel will begin loading.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While 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 a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have
the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your HTC EVO™ 4G
is rated M3.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing
aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Your HTC EVO™ 4G is
rated T3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your HTC EVO™ 4G.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher
ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In
the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as
a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
