Phone Basics
Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

can be found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also
available at www.sprint.com – click on the Shopping tab at the
top, then look under Phones & Accessories.
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a 1070 mAh BL-6C
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your
battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to
3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time or up to 15 days of
continuous digital standby time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
WARNING Use only Sprint approved or Nokia approved batteries and
chargers with your Sprint PCS Phone. The failure to use a
Sprint approved or manufacturer approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your Sprint PCS Phone
will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,
and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.
22 Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics

Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone’s Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery is
rechargeable and, if not already, should be charged as soon
as possible, so that you can begin using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s
charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you
were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level,
glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right
corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is
getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds
a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint or Nokia approved desktop charger,
travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your
battery.
WARNING Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage
to your phone and void the warranty.
Section 2A: Your Sprint PCS Phone: The Basics 25
Phone Basics
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
©Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
It takes approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes to fully
recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint-
approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before
it becomes completely run down.
The BL-6C battery provides up to 3.5 hours of talk time, and
up to 15 days of standby time. Operation times are estimates
and may vary depending on network conditions, charging,
and device use.

lUnderstanding Roaming
lSetting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
lControlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual-band 6165i
phone by Nokia works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint
PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog, 1900
and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works, as well as
detailing the special features that let you manage your
roaming experience.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69
Controlling Roaming
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Any time you
are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you
are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will
display along with the text Analog Roam.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features,
such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
PCS Nationwide Network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your
call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you
think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and
on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
70 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
vYou are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
vSome features that are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing,
are unavailable.
vAlthough callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
vThere are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that are inherant to conventional analog
services today.
vYour battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 71
Controlling Roaming
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

lPairing Bluetooth Devices
Your Sprint PCS Phone features built-in Bluetooth technology,
allowing you to share information easier than ever before.
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that
allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth
devices, such as headsets, hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth
enabled handhelds, PCs, printers, and wireless phones. The
Bluetooth communication range is usually up to
approximately 10 meters (30 feet). A Bluetooth connection
can be used to send and receive images, texts, gallery files,
voice recordings, video clips, notes, business cards, and
calendar notes. You can synchronize your phone and your PC
using a Bluetooth connection.
126 Section 2L: Using Bluetooth
Since devices with Bluetooth connectivity communicate
using radio waves, your phone and the other device do not
need to be in direct line-of-sight. The two devices must be
within a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters) of each other,
although the connection can be subject to interference from
obstructions such as walls or other electronic devices.
This phone is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.2,
which supports the following profiles: object push profile, file
transfer profile, dial-up networking profile, headset profile,
hands-free profile, generic access profile, serial port profile,
and generic object exchange profile. To ensure
interoperability between other devices supporting Bluetooth
technology, use only Nokia-approved enhancements for this
model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to
determine their compatibility with this device.
This section details how to set up and make the most of your
phone’s Bluetooth capabilities.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint
Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-
2221 or by dialing # 222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.
Note: The Bluetooth application consumes the battery and
reduces the battery life and operating time of the phone.
Take this into account when performing other operations
with your phone.

Multimedia FAQs
1. How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from
Sprint PCS Video Mail?
Multimedia Service lets you access high-quality video
and audio clips provided by external sources. Video Mail
lets you capture, upload, and share videos that you
personally create with your phone's built-in camcorder.
2. How am I charged for Multimedia Service?
It depends on whether you sign up for a Sprint PCS
Vision Plan. Please see the following options below:
nSprint PCS Vision Plan:
lWith any Sprint PCS Vision Plan (other than the
SprintTV Vision Plan), you can play an unlimited
number of video/audio clips on your phone's
display as long as you've subscribed to a channel
(see next bullet). You also receive access to the
Previews channel as a courtesy from Sprint. It
doesn't cost you anything to play the clips, but
you will need to pay a monthly fee for any
channel subscriptions (see the following bullet).
lIn addition to complimentary access to the
Previews channel, you can subscribe to any of the
channels listed in the Available Channels section
of your Channel Listings for an additional
monthly fee. Clips within these channels will
continue to be available to you as long as you
continue to pay your monthly channel
subscription fee.
nSprintTV Vision Plan:

clips from a variety of brands you know. It doesn't
cost you anything to play the clips, but you will
need to pay a monthly fee for any additional
channels to which you subscribe (see the
following bullet).
lFor a monthly subscription fee, you can purchase
access to a variety of other channels located in
the Available Channels section of your Channel
Listings. Clips within these channels will continue
to be available to you as long as you continue to
pay your monthly channel subscription fee.
nAny plan other than a Sprint PCS Vision Plan:
lIf you do not sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision Plan
(of any kind), your Sprint PCS Multimedia Phone
still has the capability of playing audio or video
clips, but you WILL be charged a fee for playing
them (this includes any of the clips in the
Previews channel). The charge for playing the clip
is based the clip's size and scope, and will vary
depending on the clip.
lYou will be charged a monthly subscription fee for
any of the Available Channels you acquire access
to (with the exception of the Previews channel,
which is included as a courtesy from Sprint). If
you purchase access to an Available Channel, clips
within the channel will continue to be available
to you as long as you continue to pay your
monthly channel subscription fee.
3. Will I know if I'm receiving an incoming call while I'm
viewing or listening to an audio clip?
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you
are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the
voicemail icon will appear on the screen.
Section 2M: Using Media 139
Using Media
4. 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 the clip's length appearing
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.
5. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I
have my phone?
As long as you are on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, you will have access to the audio and
video clips.
6. Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?
Not yet. This service currently provides media on
demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed
throughout the day, but are not “live.” A menu of live
media streams should become available in 2006.
7. 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 your media player's Channel
Listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding
number will appear in the My Channels section.
8. Why are some channels already pre-loaded into the My
Channels section?
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels
automatically appear in the My Channels section of
your Channel Listings.
Note: Multimedia Service does not work while roaming off of the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network or where service is unavailable.
140 Section 2M: Using Media
9. If I don't subscribe to Sprint PCS Vision Plan, am I still able to
view the multimedia clips?
Yes; for service access charges, please see “Any plan
other than a Sprint PCS Vision Plan.”
10. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll
through all the channels in my Channel Listings?
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You
can simply press this number to quickly access the clips
located within that channel.
11. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the media player is in the process of
loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically
occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network.
12. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?
To cancel your Multimedia Service, visit
www.sprintpcs.com and sign on to My PCS with your
account number and password. From this page you
have the ability to cancel the service and/or any
Available Channels to which you subscribe.
13. If I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into the
phone's headset jack, can I close the flip while I am playing
an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the clip?
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the
phone's headset jack, the phone automatically goes
into “headset mode,” allowing you to close the flip and
continue playing the clip (likewise, if your phone is in
“headset mode,” a phone call will not become
disconnected by closing the flip).
Tip: When entering the specific channel number, channels 02 - 09 do not
require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access channel “07,” just
press the “7” key.
Section 2M: Using Media 141
Using Media
14. 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 buttons to surf to a different channel.
A small pop-up screen will appear telling you which
channel you are watching, as well as other channels you
have access to. Use the navigation buttons to scroll
through the different channels. Once you find a channel
you want to watch, scroll to it and press selection key
and the channel will begin loading.

Important Safety Information
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ⅷHold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended,
and over your shoulder.
ⅷTry not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
ⅷDon’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ⅷSpeak directly into the mouthpiece.
ⅷAvoid 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.
ⅷAlthough your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece
of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,
bending, or sitting on it.
ⅷAny 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 Sprint authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure
to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
194 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
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 and/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
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from
wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local
Sprint Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-
800-974-2221 or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.
Section 4A: Important Safety Information 195
Important Safety Information
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems and/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.
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:
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
196 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
ⅷFueling areas such as gas stations.
ⅷBelow deck on boats.
ⅷFuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ⅷAreas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ⅷAny 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 PCS Invoice.
Operating Environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in
the normal use position against the ear or when positioned
at least 2.2 centimeters (0.87 inches) from the body. When a
carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should position
the device the above-stated distance from your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a
quality connection to the network. In some cases,
transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until
such a connection is available. Ensure that the above
separation distance instructions are followed until the
transmission is completed.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives
in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone
or accessories.
Section 4A: Important Safety Information 197
Important Safety Information
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device
Your Sprint PCS® Phone has been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When 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 ratings for
some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in
finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are
rated will have the rating on the box. Your 6165i by Nokia has
an M3 rating.
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 successfully use a phone that has been tested and
rated as Hearing Aid compatible. Trying the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs. Should you experience interference when using your
6165i with your hearing device, Sprint suggests you promptly
return the phone to the store. With the Sprint 14-day Risk
Free Guarantee you may return the phone within 14 days of
purchase for a full refund. Sprint further suggests you
experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled
Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones
that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
198 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
with an M3 or M4) while in the retail store to find the one
that works best with your hearing device.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this
type of interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find results for
your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is,
the less likely you are to experience interference noise from
wireless phones.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With
Your 6165i by Nokia
One way to minimize interference is to set the phone’s
Display and Keypad backlight setting to ensure the minimum
time interval.
To ensure minimum interference from your Main Display’s
backlight and/or your Keypad backlight, follow these steps:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Display > Main Display > Backlight
time-out.
2. Select Always off.
3. Press Select > Yes.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below will help you get the most out of
your battery’s performance.
ⅷRecently, 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.
Section 4A: Important Safety Information 199
Important Safety Information
Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint PCS®
Phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and
accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of
your phone. Use only Sprint or manufacturer-approved

ⅷIt’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.
ⅷDon’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
ⅢLess than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
ⅢMore than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

(RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power level. This power can range from
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
FCC Notice
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the phone if such interference cannot be
eliminated. This phone complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS 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
Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash
may be prohibited.
Section 4A: Important Safety Information 201
Important Safety Information
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. 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 in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
202 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
The highest reported SAR values of the 6165i are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.03 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.81 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.06 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.74 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission
Guidelines.
FCC ID number: QMNRM-125.
