Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
1. Fully extend the antenna to receive the best
reception.
2. Press and hold until your phone is turned
ON.
Once your phone is ON, it displays “Looking for
Service...” indicating that your phone is searching
for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, it
automatically enters Standby mode – the phone’s
idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin
making and receiving calls.
Tip:
The Power Save
feature helps to
conserve your
battery power
when you are in
an area where
there is no signal.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15
minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is
automatically activated. When a signal is found,
your phone automatically returns to Standby mode.
In Power save mode, your phone searches for a
signal periodically without your intervention. You
can also initiate a search for Sprint PCS Service by
pressing any key (when your phone is turned ON).
Turning Your Phone OFF
ᮣPress and hold until you see “Power off”
on the display.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off,
unless you’re charging the battery.

of these work,

Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS Phone are
automatically transferred to voicemail, even if your
phone is off or in use. To avoid missing any
important messages, you will want to set up your
Sprint PCS voicemail box and personal greeting as
soon as your Sprint PCS Phone is activated.
Note:
The voicemail
setup process
may vary in
certain Affiliate
areas.
To set up voicemail, follow these steps:
1. From the Standby mode, press and hold .
2. Follow the system prompts to create your
passcode, record your greeting, record your name
announcement and choose whether to activate
One-Touch Message Access (a feature that lets
you press one key to access messages and
bypasses the need for you to enter your passcode).

messages, see page XX.

Using Sprint PCS Voice CommandSM
With Sprint PCS, the first wireless provider to offer
innovative Voice Command technology, reaching
your friends, family, co-workers and teammates has
never been easier – especially when you’re on the
go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
ᮣYou can store all your contact’s phone numbers,
so you can simply say the name of the person you
want to call.
ᮣThere’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers,
memorize voicemail passwords or try to dial
while you’re driving.
ᮣYou can call anyone in your address book – even
if you don’t remember their phone number.
It’sEasyToStart
Just dial from your Sprint PCS
Phone™ to activate the service. You can also dial
to go through a Sprint PCS Voice
Command tutorial directly from your phone.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 500 names into your
address book, with each name having up to five
phone numbers. That’s 2,500 phone numbers –
and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS
Voice Command – you can have instant access to
all of them.
There are four ways to update your address book:
Section 4
46 Making and Answering Calls
ᮣOn the Web: Go to www.talk.sprintpcs.com and
receive a fully functional Web-based address book
to create and update your contacts.
ᮣUseanExistingAddressBook: Upload your
contacts from Microsoft® Outlook,® Microsoft
Excel® and other personal information software
into your address book for no additional charge.
ᮣCall Directory Assistance: If you don’t have a
computer or Internet access handy, you can have
Sprint PCS Directory Assistance look up phone
numbers for you and automatically add them to
your address book. Just say, “Call operator,” and
we’ll add two names and numbers to your
address book for our standard directory assistance
charge.
ᮣUse Voice Recordings: Simply dial
and say, “Add name.” You will then be asked to
say the name and number you want to add to
your personal address book. Your address book
can store up to 20 Voice Recordings at once.
How It Works
1. Once you’ve signed up for Sprint PCS Voice
Command and created your address book, all you
do is press . You’ll hear a tone
followed by the prompt “Ready.”
2. After the “Ready” prompt, simply say, in a
natural voice, the name of the person or the
number you’d like to call. For example, you can
say, “Call Jane at work,” “Call John on his
wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up
Bob.”

3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in
mind that Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes
not only your voice, but any voice, so others can
experience the same convenience if they use your
phone.

The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Your Phone comes equipped with a Browser, which
allows you to access up-to-the minute information
through the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed versions of popular
Internet sites, including Yahoo!® Amazon.com®,
The Weather Channel® and more. Browsing the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your phone is
different than using a home computer because sites
display specialized text and reduce their graphics.
The Browser connects to the Internet by placing a
call. While you are connected to the Internet, “ ”
(the data communication icon) is displayed, unlike
a normal phone call.
Service charges vary depending on your service
option.
Launching the Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Browser

Note:
The Sprint PCS

Home Page is
subject to

Following the security setup, you’ll see the Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Home Page. This is the main
page for the Browser and it gives you access to all
the sites in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. The next
time you use the Browser, you may not see the home
page at first because the Browser will display the
page you were viewing when you last exited the
Browser.
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page
You may notice that sometimes the Browser will
launch without placing a call. This is because the
phone stores recently viewed pages in its memory
cache. The Browser will connect automatically
when you access a page that’s not stored in the
cache.

art of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone™ is knowing
where and how it works at optimum efficiency. This section outlines
performance and safety guidelines that ensure you experience the full
quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to give you.
P
Section 16
168 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
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 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 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 on, it
periodically rechecks service availability or you can
check yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the
Power Save feature is activated, a message displays
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 radio frequency (RF) signals. When you
use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level. This power can range from
0.1 2W to 0.2 W in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
Section 16
169Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Performance and
Safety
16
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).
Maintaining your Phone’s Peak Performance
Note:
For the best care
of your phone,
only Sprint PCS
authorized
personnel should
service your
phone and its
accessories.
Faulty service
may void the
warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating
your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
ᮣHold the phone with the antenna up, fully-
extended and over your shoulder.
ᮣTry not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone
antenna.
ᮣDon’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ᮣSpeak directly into the mouthpiece.
ᮣ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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS
Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for
service.

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.
When using your phone in the car:
ᮣGet to know your phone and its features, such as
speed dial and redial.
ᮣWhen available, use a hands-free device.
ᮣPosition your phone within easy reach.
ᮣLet the person you are speaking to know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
ᮣDo not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving.
ᮣDial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic.
ᮣDo not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may divert your attention from
the road.
ᮣDial to report serious

ᮣUse your phone to help others in emergencies.
ᮣCall roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless number when necessary.
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
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 and
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its 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.
Note:
Always turn off
thephonein
health care
facilities and
request
permission
before using the
phone near
medical
equipment.
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.
Section 16
172 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
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.
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, 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’re in any area that
has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although
it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could
generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or
a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include:
Note:
Never transport
or store
flammable gas,
liquid or
explosives in the
compartment of
your vehicle that
contains your
phone or
accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should
not be allowed to play with it because they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or
make calls that increase your phone bill.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most
out of your battery’s performance.
ᮣUse only Sprint PCS-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.
ᮣIn order to avoid damage, charge the battery only
in temperatures that range from 32GF to 113GF
(0GC to 45GC).
ᮣDon’t 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 on top of the battery
clean.
ᮣ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.
ᮣIt’s best to replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. It can be
Section 16
174 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
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: –4GF to 140GF (–20GC to
60GC)
More than one month: –4GF to 113GF (–20GC to
45GC)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-lon) Batteries
Note:
For safety, do not
handle a
damaged or
leaking Lilon
battery.
For safe disposal options of your Lilon batteries,
contact your nearest Sprint PCS-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.
Acknowledging Special Precautions
and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if
used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The

used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
ᮣReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
ᮣIncrease the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
ᮣConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
ᮣConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Section 16
176 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
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 voids 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 PCS 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 0.394 inch (1 centimeter) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint PCS approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorted in the head of a user
of a wireless handset.
Section 16
177Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Performance and
Safety
16
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 SH-P300 are:
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.41 W/kg; Body-worn:
0.093 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency
Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: ABLSP20.

includes keeping the right to access the Sprint PCS Network by not
terminating Services. You may not modify the Agreement except for
your Service Plan (see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
Section 17
182 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Service Plan
You may be eligible for a fixed length Service Plan (“Term Service
Plan”) or for a month-to-month Service Plan (“Non-Term Service
Plan”). We determine the Service Plan for which you qualify. We may
offer non-identical Service Plans to different individuals or entities.
Services and coverage under some Service Plans may be more limited
than available under other Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the
charges for the Services and is your Service Plan until that Service Plan
is changed, you switch to a different Service Plan, or your Services
terminate. Your Service Plan may require that you make a deposit,
prepayment, or a series of deposits or prepayments, or be subject to an
account spending limit, before Services are activated or maintained.
Changing Service Plans
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may change to a different
Service Plan for which you qualify. Any change is effective at the start of
your next full invoicing cycle unless otherwise specified by us at the
time that you place your change order. If you change or add a different
Service Plan or service feature and the change is effective prior to the
start of your next full invoicing cycle, you will be invoiced a prorated
amount. We may require a service charge for a implementing any
change directed by you as well as the Service Plan or optional service
features you select. If you are on a Term Service Plan, your ability to
change to another Service Plan may be limited and we may require you
to pay a termination fee as set out in your Service Plan.

Use of Services and Equipment; Availability
You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe to our Services. We may
require you to provide proof of your age and identity. If you are under 18
years old you may be eligible for certain Services that have Account
Spending Limits if a person 18 years or older is also named as a
subscriber on the Account. Services and equipment may not be used for
any unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purpose. By requesting Services,
you agree that you will not use Services and equipment in any
unlawful, fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease
Services or equipment to anyone.
Services are available within the operating range of the Sprint PCS
Network. Coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions
within or beyond our control, including atmospheric, geographic, or
topographic conditions. We do not guarantee that there will be no
interruptions or delays in Services. Your Sprint PCS Phone™ will
not accept the services of any wireless provider other than Sprint
PCS (but see Roaming).
Number
We assign a phone number (“Number”) to the phone or other
equipment used by you on the Sprint PCS Network. We may change the
Number without compensation by giving you prior notice. You do not
own the Number. You may not modify the Number we program into any
phone or other equipment.
Phone Activation Fee
You may be required to pay a non-refundable phone activation fee
when you activate a new Number, have us switch a Number to a
different phone, we activate a different phone on your existing account
or your Service Plan says so. Details on any applicable phone activation
fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be obtained by calling Sprint
PCS Customer Care.
Section 17
184 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Charges
For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the
time you first initiate contact between your phone or other wireless
device and the network until the network connection is broken, whether
or not you are successful in connecting with the service with which you
seek to connect, even if the connection is later broken or dropped. An
exception is that you are not charged for voice calls that are not
completed. You are charged for completed calls to your Number from
the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is
terminated by either party. You will be charged peak rates for the entire
duration of calls initiated during the peak time periods applicable to
your Service. You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration
of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods applicable to your
Service.
In addition to these usage charges, you may be charged for recurring
monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance toll
charges, other usage charges, connection fees, roaming chages,
directory assistance, call completion charges, optional features you
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related charges.
Charges for most Services are incurred in one -minute increments, with
partial minutes of rounded up to the next highest minute. You must
pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the
Number for each phone or other equipment that our records show you
activated, no matter who actually uses or has possession of the phone or
other equipment at the time Services are provided.
Voice Command
Sprint PCS Voice CommandSM is an optional service that allows you to
place calls by using speech recognition technology. Call to 911 or
similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice
Command feature. Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a
call completed from your Number using the Voice Command feature
begin when you press or activate the TALK or similar keys and end when
Section 17
185Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
17
your call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the
Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete another call
without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate charge for
that call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated.
Airtime and applicable long distance charges will be applied to the
entire length of a completed call initiated from Voice Command. Using
Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice Command address
book will incur additional charges. Details on charges for the Voice
Command feature can be found in the marketing materials for this
feature, by visiting www.sprintpcs.com or by calling Sprint PCS
Customer Care.
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length. Invoicing
cycles and dates may change from time to time. Except as
otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly recurring
charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance.
Charges for Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after
the changes accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and
changes occurring before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if
they were not previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage
incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to
your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if
you change your Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred
and the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from
the prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minutes for
usage over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the
time the usage was incurred.
Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit card
or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or consent is
required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for
all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third party. You
Section 17
186 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing address or of
the credit card or bank account used for payment. We reserve the right
to require payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured
form of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing
you for charges for Services or equipment, you must pay our costs and
expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees
of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent
for a third -party service provider, payments received are first applied to
amounts due and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied
to sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We may
charge an additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument
endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any
reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date shown on
your invoice. Any payment for Services and equipment not made when
due accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at
the highest rate allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each
day that payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly.
Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You may raise any dispute that you have about any charges invoiced to
you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the
invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by notifying Sprint PCS
Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general business offices are not
notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice procedures are described on the
invoice, you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Service at
any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we
Section 17
187Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
17
may terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. We may
deactivate any Number before you receive notice of termination without
liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or without
cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan (1) your ability to terminate Services
before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability to change to
another Service Plan before the end of the term may be limited, and
may result in a termination or activation fee, (3) you may be required
to pay a termination fee, (4) we may not terminate Services without
cause before the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services for
cause before the end of the term, you may be required to pay a
termination fee. No termination fee is charged if you terminate a
Term Service Plan within 14 days of activation of your Sprint PCS
Phone. During the term we must give each other notice to
terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the term, you
may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice and we
may, subject to this Agreement, terminate Services at any time,
with or without notice.
Termination. General.
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service Plan, we
may terminate or suspend Services to you without liability (1) if you
breach any provision of this Agreement (including if you fail to pay any
charges for Services), or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for
equipment or otherwise. If you promptly cure the breach, we may, but
are not obligated to, reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges
for (a) Services provided before termination of a Number and (b)
equipment, regardless of who terminates Service. If Services are
terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, (i) the
monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination,
and (ii) you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes
in your Service Plan.
Section 17
188 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit
basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit before we start
Services to your Number, or as reasonably practicable after the limit is
imposed. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services on
an Account Spending Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial
guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services
accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they are incurred. We
may charge an initial ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL
service fee, in addition to your recurring monthly service charge. We
may suspend Services to your Number without prior notice to you when
your account balance reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services
are restored when you have paid any past due balance and pay a
specified minimum amount to reduce your account balance below your
Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount at any
time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and the
minimum amount by any method authorized by Sprint PCS. Call
Sprint PCS Customer Care for information about authorized methods of
making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls that involve
our live customer care services. If we provide Services to you on an
Account Spending Limit basis, Service and coverage may be limited in
certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even if they exceed
the amount of your Account Spending Limit.
Deposits
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services, we will hold
the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may
change the deposit amount at any time to reflect revised estimated
monthly charges based upon your usage. A deposit may not be used to
pay any invoice (unless it is used to pay a final invoice) or delay
payment. The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit
and charges to the deposit amount are determined based on your credit
and payment history. The rate of interest on the deposit is subject to
change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services are
Section 17
189Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
17
terminated for any reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your
deposit toward payment of outstanding charges and return any excess to
you at your last known address within 75 days after termination of
Services. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the money to you and
returns it to us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of
return and, during that period, we may charge a monthly servicing fee
against the deposit balance. Any money held during this one-year
period will not accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of
the money left after the one-year period.
Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be obtained
through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web service may not be immediately
available in some Sprint PCS affiliate markets. Use of Wireless Web
Services requires a wireless data compatible phone or certain other
equipment (or both) and is subject to any memory, storage or
other limitation in the phone or other equipment. The Caller ID
blocking feature is not available when using Wireless Web Services.
For data calls (including Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that
are attempted, but not completed, you are charged for the time
during which the network attempts to connect the call. You are
charged for time spent connected to the Wireless Web or Voice Portal,
including time spent browsing on the Internet or Voice Portal and
reviewing or scrolling through Internet information on-line while still
connected to the Sprint PCS Network. Not all Internet sites can be
accessed and you may receive an error message if you attempt to access
a site that cannot be accessed through Wireless Web Services. You are
also charged for Wireless Web connections to review your Sprint PCS
account information. Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal data calls
may not be available when you are roaming off the Sprint PCS Network.
Wireless Web Services are not available to you if you are on a Sprint PCS
Prepaid Service Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending
Limit basis, you may be limited in the Wireless Web and Voice Portal
Services available to you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our
Section 17
190 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
website at www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment
compatibility information. Specific additional information about
Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal Services, including pricing,
included minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is available
in our standard sales collateral for Sprint PCS Wireless Web Services and
Voice Portal Services at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint PCS is not a
publisher of third party content that can be accessed through Wireless
Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Sprint PCS is not responsible for
any opinions, advice, statements, services or other information is
provided by third parties and accessible through Wireless Web Services
or Voice Portal Services. Neither Sprint PCS nor its vendors or licensors
guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information
that is obtained through the Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal
Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by federal, state
or local authorities, or foreign government on Services. We also assess
charges associated with regulatory mandates and obligations, such as
Universal Service and Enhanced 911 service. If you claim any tax
exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document. Any
tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax-exempt
document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of the Sprint
PCS Network are “roaming” calls. Your Sprint PCS phone is specifically
designed and engineered to work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It
works on another CDMA PCS provider’s system only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other provider. If your
Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS
provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint PCS Network) and a wireless
analog telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming
agreements are in place between Sprint PCS and the other providers. If
Section 17
191Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Warranty/Terms
and Conditions
17
we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place
roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card. If there is a gap
or other interruption of coverage within a Sprint PCS coverage area that
prevents connection with the Sprint PCS network and your dual-mode
phone is set to roam automatically when outside Sprint PCS coverage,
you may incur roaming fees within a Sprint PCS coverage area. Certain
features are not available when roaming. Roaming rates may be
different from and higher than the rates you pay for calls within your
Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the Sprint PCS Network. Roaming
charges are invoiced according to the practices of the roaming service
provider. When roaming, you are subject to the limitation of liability
provisions and other applicable rules imposed by the roaming service
provider.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services for
more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis. Interruptions caused
by your negligent or willful actions, or by failure of equipment or
service not provided by us, or by causes beyond our reasonable
control, do not qualify for credit. We may provide you with an
airtime credit of one minute for a call that is disconnected because
of transmission limitations caused by atmospheric, geographic or
topographic conditions and that you redial within one minute of
disconnection. You must notify us within 24 hours of the disconnection
to request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and returned as
provided in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of
the phones or other equipment.
The only warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited
warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no liability in
connection with the phones and other equipment or for the
manufacturers’ acts or omissions.
Section 17
192 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must notify us by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are responsible for all charges
for Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen equipment
before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the
Number upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be
required to provide evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police
report or sworn statement). If the equipment is later found, we may
require that you exchange it for another phone or other equipment
before we reactivate services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as
require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any
Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with
us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned to your
phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information about
automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number assigned to your phone can
be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number +
OK, but Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID
display on incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving the
information from the calling party.
TTY Access
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications
device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. It is not
possible to use your phone with a TTY.

with Services. You should contact Sprint PCS Customer Care for
information about international destinations that you cannot call.
Limitation of Liability
Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole liability to you for
any loss or damage arising out of providing or failing to provide
Services (including mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays,
errors, or defects) does not exceed (1) in cases related to a specific
piece of equipment, the prorated MRC for Services to the piece of
equipment during the affected period, or (2) in cases not related to
a specific piece of equipment, the prorated MRCs for the Services to
you during the affected period. Neither we nor our vendors,
suppliers or licensors are liable for any damage arising out of or in
connection with:
a) any act or omission of any telecommunications service or other
service provider other than us;
b) any directory listing;
c) any dropped calls or inability to place or receive calls;
d) any interruption of Services, including interruptions caused by

arising from the use of Services, phones, equipment or accessories used
in connection with the Services;

reliability of any information obtained from the Internet using Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Services or from Voice Portal Services, or Internet

g) any late or failed message delivery;
h) any interruption or failure of 911 or E911 emergency services or
identification of the Number, address or name associated with any
person accessing or attempting to access emergency services from your
phone;
i) the installation or repair of any products or equipment by parties who
are not our authorized employees or agents;
j) events due to factors beyond our control, including acts of God
(including, without limitation, weather-related phenomena, fire or

k) any act or omission of any third party or independent contractor that
offers products or services in conjunction with or through the Services,

Indemnification
You indemnify and defend us, our partners, directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any claim, action, damage,
liability and expense arising out of or in connection with: (1) your acts
or omissions that occur in connection with your use of the Services or

ARBITATION OF DISPUTES
ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,
MISPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, RELATED
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE CUSTOMER OR BETWEEN
THE COMPANY AND THE COSTOMER, ON THE ONE HAND, AND
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED BUSINESSES OF THE
OTHER PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY
ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF
WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator will be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list
of qualified people maintained by the AAA. All expedited procedures
prescribed by the AAA rules will apply, and each party will bear their own
costs and attorney’s fees.
No discovery will be permitted, excepts that the parties will exchange,
thirty days prior to the hearing on their dispute, all documents to be
submitted to the arbitrator, including any reports or summaries, and a
Section 17
196 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
list of the names and addresses of those persons to be called to testify.
Following exchange of this information, the parties may agree to waive
a hearing.
The arbitrator will have authority only to award compensatory damages
and will not have authority to award punitive damages, lost profits, or
other non-compensatory damages. The arbitrator’s decision and award
will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s
decision must not contain findings of fact or conclusions of law.
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim
that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such
action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the
other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or
compelling arbitration, including attorney’s fees.
Notices
You may get our current address for written notice by calling Sprint PCS
Customer Care. Written notice to you is sent to your last known address
in our invoicing records. Written notice is deemed delivered 3 days after
deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and properly addressed. Unless
required by this Agreement or Applicable Laws, (1) you may notify us by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care, and (2) we may notify you by
leaving a message for you on your Sprint PCS Phone, answering
machine or with your answering service. Notice addresses may be
changed by giving notice as provided in this section.
Choice of Law; Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by and must be construed under federal law
and the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to choice of law
principles. You agree to submit yourself to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts in the State of Kansas.

General
If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available under this
Agreement, that failure is not a waiver of the right or remedy for any
other breach or failure by the other party. Our waiver of any
requirement in any one instance is not a general waiver of that
requirement and does not amend this Agreement. If any part of this
Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part is interpreted
consistent with Applicable Laws as nearly as possible to reflect the
original intentions of the parties and the rest of this Agreement remains
in full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive purposes
only and are not used to interpret this Agreement. You may not assign
this Agreement to any other person or entity without our prior written
approval. This Agreement (including any referenced documents and
attachments) makes up the entire agreement between you and us
and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements,
representations, promises or understandings between you and us.
The provisions of this Agreement that are contemplated to be
enforceable after the termination of the Agreement survive
termination of this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to any
applicable federal and state law (collectively, “Applicable Laws”).
If there is a conflict, the Service Plan (including any Term Service Plan)
controls over the Terms.
The following provisions are not generally applicable and apply
only to customers whose Service Plans include these terms:
Traveling
If you are making or receiving calls outside you Home Service Ares but
on the Sprint PCS Network, you may be charged for Services at a
“travel” rate for both outgoing and incoming traveling calls. Long
distance charges may not be included in the travel rate. Traveling
charges do not apply if you subscribe to a Home Rate USA plan or to
both Toll-Free USA and Home Rate USA. (See Home Rate USA and Toll-

Toll-Free USA
This Service lets you call from anywhere on the Sprint PCS Network to
anywhere in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
and be charged at your Home Service Area airtime rates, with no
additional long distance charges. If you have Home Rate USA but do not
have Toll-Free USA, and if you make a long distance call outside of your
defined local calling area, you are invoiced for the long distance
charges.
