Getting Started With Data Services
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying
the advantages of data services. This section will help
you learn the basics of using your data services,
including managing your user name, launching a data
connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.
Your User Name
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you’re
automatically assigned a user name, which is typically
based on your name and a number, followed by
“@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to
sign up for Sprint services might have
jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is
submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint
Network.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into
your phone. You don’t have to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can easily
find it on your phone.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone displays the current status of your data
connection through indicators at the top of the screen.
The following symbols are used:
Your phone is connected to the high-speed Sprint
Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO). When the
triangles are animated, data is being transferred
(for example, when you are opening a Web page);
when the triangles are white, you are connected to
the network but data is not currently being
transferred (for example, when you are viewing a
Web page that is completely open). In either state,
you can receive incoming calls.
Your phone is on and is connected to the Sprint
1xRTT data network. When the arrows are
animated, data is being transferred (for example,
when you are opening a Web page) and you
cannot receive calls. When the arrows are white,
you are connected to the network but data is not
currently being transferred (for example, when you
are viewing a Web page that is completely open),
and you can receive calls.
If no indicator is displayed, your phone does not have a
current data connection. To launch a connection, see
“Launching a Web Connection” on page 119.

guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
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.
4A. Important Safety
Information
Note For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories.
Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your
warranty.
Important Safety Information
4A: Important Safety Information 145
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
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.
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.
Tip Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your
local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509.
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and
request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Note
146 4A: Important Safety Information
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’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:
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.
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 Sprint invoice.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint 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
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 LG LX370 has an M3
and a T3 rating.
Note Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable
liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Important Safety Information
4A: Important Safety Information 147
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.
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.
Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference:
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time interval:
1. Hightlight and press > Settings > Display >
Main Screen > Backlight, or Menu > Settings > Display
> Keypad Light.
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press .
148 4A: Important Safety Information
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from
your hearing aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least
interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by
Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-
approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also
available at www.sprint.com click Accessories. Buying
the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they’re genuine and safe.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
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 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:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Important Safety Information
4A: Important Safety Information 149
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.
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).
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.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website
at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (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
150 4A: Important Safety Information
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 LX370 are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.904 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.432 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.360 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.411 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines.
FCC ID number: BEJLX370.
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
