standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your

Safety
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
• To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the
internal antenna is located while using the phone.
• 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.
• Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on
the dashboard of a car).
• 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.
• 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.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only PCS-authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your
Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
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.
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.
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
systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
62
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.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.
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.
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 are in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it is 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:
• 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.
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
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 phone bill.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
A number of your phones have 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.
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
63
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and
hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both.
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 rated have a label located on
the box. Your SCP-3810 by Sanyo has [M4/T4] ratings.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device
and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable
to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise
levels in the hearing device. 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 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.)
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 usability:
• Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
• Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
• Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of
six for “excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov,
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval
to further minimize interference.
To change the backlight setting:
1. Press MENU/OK > Settings > Display > Main Screen > Backlight.
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press MENU/OK.
To change the keypad light setting:
1. Press MENU/OK > Settings > Display > Keypad Light.
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press MENU/OK.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º
F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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 on top of the battery clean.
• Do not 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 is best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It
can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
• Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It is 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 (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 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is 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.
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. 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).
65
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your
body, use the 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 0.866
inch ([2.2] centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-PCS approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Other accessories used with this
device for body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must
provide at least 22 mm separation distance including the antenna and the user’s body.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site 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 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 SCP-3810 are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22): Head: [0.32] W/kg; Body-worn: [0.46] W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24): Head: [0.87] W/kg; Body-worn: [0.38] W/kg
