Upgrading From a Palm OS Handheld
For best results, review the detailed steps in the Upgrade Information section in the electronic
User Guide.
1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old desktop software.
2. Under your Palm or Handspring folder, locate your User Name folder and store a copy of it in a
safe place.
3. Install your new desktop and synchronization software from your PCS Vision CD and put it in
the same location as your old desktop software.
Note:Even if you previously installed Palm OS synchronization software, you must install the new desktop software to
synchronize with a USB HotSync cable.
4. Synchronize your new PCS Treo 300 with your new desktop software, and select the user name
for your old handheld when prompted.
5. If any third party applications or data did not get installed, beam them from your old handheld
to your PCS Treo 300.
6. After you upgrade you have two devices with the same user name. Since each device must have
a unique name, perform a hard reset (see page 40) on your old handheld to remove the user
name and avoid problems synchronizing with that device. The next time you synchronize that
device, be sure to assign it a new name.

Performance and Safety
Important Information About Your Phone and Service
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 signal 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 the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically
activated and “No Service” appears in the Status Bar of the PhoneBook application. If your phone is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability. When a signal is found, your phone returns to Standby mode and the
time appears in place of “No Service” in the Status Bar of the PhoneBook application.
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 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below. To further limit RF exposure,
you can limit the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner. 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 Protections and Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
 Try not to hold the phone’s antenna and don’t twist the antenna; this will damage the 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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer Service Solutions for service.
Section 27
46 Performance and Safety
Sprint Start.book Page 47 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint Authorized Personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty
service may void the warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL 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 stationary or before pulling into traffic.
 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
 Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
 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 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.
Section 27
Performance and Safety 47
Sprint Start.book Page 48 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
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 health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical
equipment.
Turning Off Wireless Mode Before Flying
Turn off wireless mode 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
wireless mode while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using
wireless mode while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Wireless Mode in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off wireless mode 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 off wireless mode 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.
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 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.
Section 27
48 Performance and Safety
Sprint Start.book Page 49 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
Caring for and Protecting Your Phone Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
 Use only Sprint-approved chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other chargers
voids your warranty and may cause damage.
 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).
 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
 Keep the metal contacts on the bottom of the phone clean.
 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
32º F to 122º F (0º C to 50º C)
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
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. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum
gas (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this
standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn:
Publication Sales Division.
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. 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.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy (SAR)
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, users MUST use a Sprint-approved body-worn
accessory during body-worn operation. Use of accessories not approved by Sprint or that have not been tested for
RF exposure compliance with this product may not comply with the FCC RF exposure safety guidelines and should
not be used.
See http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety for more information on RF exposure safety.

Effective as of August 1, 2002 until replaced
Thanks for choosing Sprint. These terms and conditions are part of your agreement with Sprint for
PCS Services.
For the most current version of the terms and conditions, please visit our website at www.sprintpcs.com or call PCS
Customer Service Solutions at 1-888-211-4PCS, because the terms and conditions included with your PCS Phone
may not be the most current version. If you activated PCS Services before the effective date of these terms and
conditions, these terms and conditions replace and supersede any previous terms and conditions.
If you have questions about your PCS Services, call PCS Customer Service Solutions at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727) or
visit our Web site at www.sprintpcs.com.
Agreement. Your agreement (“Agreement”) with Sprint Spectrum L.P. and any of its affiliates doing business as
Sprint providing PCS Services (“Services”) to you is made up of these Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms”)
and the Service Plan that we agree to provide you. Your “Service Plan” is described in our marketing materials,
and includes the rates and features we set for that Service Plan. We use the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “Sprint “to
refer to Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint in these Terms. When you activate PCS
Services or attempt to use our PCS Services (including, without limitation, attempting to place a call on the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, or off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network when roaming, including “911” or similar
calls), you accept the Agreement.
Provision of Service. Your purchase of PCS Phones or other equipment does not mean that we must provide
Services to you. We may decide not to provide Services to you for any lawful reason. We may request that you
provide us with any information we reasonably require to determine whether you qualify for Services. Services in
some areas are managed and provided under contract with Sprint by independent affiliates with access to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Some Services may not be available or may operate differently in certain affiliate
markets.
Credit Verification. You must have and keep satisfactory credit to receive and continue to receive Services. We
will verify your credit before agreeing to provide Services to you and we may verify your credit at any time while we
provide Services to you. Credit verification may include a review of credit reports that we receive from
commercially available credit bureaus. We may require a guarantee of payment by an individual or entity
approved by us. If at any time we determine, in our sole discretion, that payment for Services may not be made
when due, we may suspend Services to your phone and require that you provide payment on account or a
guarantee of payment before we resume Services to your phone.
Section 28
50 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Sprint Start.book Page 51 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
Changes to Agreement. We may change this Agreement at any time (but see PCS Service Plan). Any changes to
the Terms are effective when we publish the revised Terms. If you use our Services or make any payment to us on
or after the effective date of the changes, you accept the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you may
terminate Services (but see Termination and Changing PCS Service Plans). For purposes of the Agreement, "use"
includes keeping the right to access the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network by not terminating Services. You may not
modify the Agreement except for your PCS Service Plan (see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
Service Plan. You may be eligible for a fixed length PCS Service Plan ("Term Service Plan") or for a month-tomonth 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
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 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 Nationwide PCS Network. Coverage and quality of Services may be affected by

not guarantee that there will be no interruptions or delays in Services. Your PCS Phone will not accept the services
of any wireless provider other than Sprint (but see Roaming).
Number. We assign a phone number ("Number") to the phone or other equipment used by you on the Sprint
Nationwide 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, transfer or
duplicate the Number to any phone or other equipment other than that authorized by us, or transfer the Number
to any other individual or entity.

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, have your current Number changed, 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 PCS Customer Service Solutions.
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 charges, directory assistance, call completion charges, account review and
management 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 use 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.
PCS Vision (Third Generation) Wireless Charges. For PCS Vision wireless services, you will be charged, on a
per kilobyte basis, for data used, whether sent or received by your PCS Phone or other wireless device, rather than
for airtime used, even for certain third generation voice services. As long as your PCS Phone or other wireless
device is connected to the enhanced (Third Generation) Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you will be incurring
data usage charges. You cannot receive incoming calls while using third generation services. Data packet usage
will be measured in kilobytes and will be rounded up to the next whole kilobyte. Kilobyte usage will be rounded
up to the next full cent. Rounding up will occur at the end of each separate session or each clock hour (at the top
of each hour), if the session spans more than 1 clock hour. When traveling on the Vision network, a session may
be ended and new session initiated, although no interruption to the actual data session will occur. Each
individual session will be rounded up. The number of data packets used and charged to you will vary widely,
depending upon the specific PCS Vision wireless application or other service you use and the amount of data used
in the specific application or service. You will be charged for data exchanges initiated by other Internet users as
well as those you initiate. Estimates of data usage, for example, the size of downloadable files, will vary from what
you actually use. You will be charged for additional data used in transporting and routing on the network. If you
use a Premium Service (including services provided by third parties but for which you are billed on your PCS
Invoice), you will be charged for data used in transport and routing in addition to the charge for the Premium
Service. You will be charged for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including re-sent data, and
for unsuccessful attempts to reach Web sites and use other applications and services, including those resulting
from dropped network connections. Your invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable
Section 28
52 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Sprint Start.book Page 53 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
to your use of specific sites, sessions or services used. Specific additional information about PCS Vision wireless
services, including pricing, included kilobytes and combining with other PCS Service Plans, is available in our
standard sales collateral for PCS Vision wireless Service Plans or at www.sprintpcs.com.
Voice Command. PCS Voice Command is an optional service that allows you to place calls by using speech
recognition technology. Calls 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 key(s) and end when 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 PCS Customer
Service Solutions.
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 charges
accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges 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
PCS 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 minute for usage over included minutes
provided in the Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.
Premium Services. Access to and downloading of premium content is not included with PCS Vision services.
Certain PCS Vision services (e.g., Games, Ringers and Screen Savers) contain mostly premium content. Your
invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or
services used. You will be charged for Premium Services at the rates and charges specified at the time of access or
download, in addition to data usage charges you will incur while connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network. You will be charged for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including data that is
resent, and for unsuccessful attempts to reach websites and use other applications and services, including those
resulting from dropped network connections. We provide no warranties and make no representations or claims
with regard to the third party Premium Services. In certain instances, subject to the terms of the content
purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium items downloaded to available storage areas (e.g., your
vault) including any pictures, games and other content. We may impose a dollar or other limit on use of
Premium Services including a limit the amount of Premium Service charges that you will be allowed to incur in
a specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period.). We may suspend your use of Premium Services
Section 28
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 53
Sprint Start.book Page 54 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
without prior consent or notice if we have reason to suspect fraudulent or unauthorized use of your Premium
Services account, but we make no assurances that we will suspend your account.
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 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 5% per
month or at the highest rate allowed by law. 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. If your Service has been suspended due to nonpayment, you may be charged a reactivation fee.
Disputed Charges. You must 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 PCS
Customer Service Solutions. 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 Services at
any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate Services at any time, with
or without notice. If your Service has been suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a reactivation fee.
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 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.
Section 28
54 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Sprint Start.book Page 55 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
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, (b) equipment, regardless of who terminates Services and
(c) a reactivation fee, if we agree to reactivate Services to you. 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.
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. Contact PCS Customer Service Solutions 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, Services 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.
Clear Pay. If we agree to provide Services to you as a Clear Pay customer, we may suspend Services to your
Number without prior notice to you immediately when your bill becomes past due. Even if your bill is not past
due, we may suspend services if your unpaid usage exceeds $125 or another amount to be determined by your past
credit or usage history. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services as a Clear Pay customer, we will
hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Contact PCS Customer Service
Solutions 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 as a Clear Pay basis, Services and
coverage may be limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services whether or not your Services are
suspended or terminated.
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 changes to the deposit
amount are determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of interest, if any, on the deposit is
subject to change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services are terminated for any reason, we may,
Section 28
Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information 55
Sprint Start.book Page 56 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
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 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. Wireless Web Services may not be immediately available in some PCS affiliate markets. Use of
Wireless Web Services requires a wireless Internet-ready PCS 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 Nationwide 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 PCS account information. Wireless Web Services and
Voice Portal data calls may not be available when you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Wireless Web Services are not available to you if you are on a 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 PCS Customer Service Solutions or visit our 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 PCS Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal Services or at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint is not a
publisher of third party content that can be accessed through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Sprint
is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services or other information provided by third parties and
accessible through Wireless Web Services Voice Portal Services. Neither Sprint 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.
Other Terms Applicable to PCS Vision Wireless Usage. Use of PCS Vision wireless services requires the
purchase of separate third generation wireless compatible phone or other device and is subject to any software,
memory, storage or other limitation in the phone or other equipment. Not all applications and services work, or
work the same, on all third generation wireless phones and devices. Check the materials accompanying your
phone or device to determine which applications and services it will support. PCS Vision wireless services are not
available when roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. PCS Vision wireless services may not be currently
available in some affiliate areas.
Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services applications or other information provided
by third parties and accessible through PCS Vision wireless services. Neither Sprint nor its vendors or licensors
Section 28
56 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Sprint Start.book Page 57 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained through the PCS Vision
wireless services. You are responsible for evaluating such content. Use of certain PCS Vision wireless services,
including some messaging services, may result in the disclosure to others of your email address and other
information about you in connection with your internet usage. Your accessing of, or use of, third party sites or
services accessible PCS Vision wireless services may require the disclosure of information about you, subject to the
policies of those sites and services.
You consent to receiving advertising, warnings, alerts and other messages, including broadcast messages.
Your access to PCS Vision wireless services is controlled by a password.
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 off of the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network are
"roaming" calls. Your PCS Phone is specifically designed and engineered to work only on the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network. It works on another CDMA PCS provider's system only when a roaming agreement is in place
between Sprint and the other providers. If your PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS
provider's system (in addition to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network) and a wireless analog telecommunications
provider's system only when roaming agreements are in place between Sprint and the other providers. If 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 PCS coverage area that prevents connection with
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and your dual-band phone is set to roam automatically when outside PCS
coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a 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
Local Service Area and on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. 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.

Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must notify us by calling PCS
Customer Service Solutions. 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 receive the Number assigned to your phone, you must call PCS
Customer Service Solutions 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 + TALK (or similar key), 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.
Pay-Per-Call Service. We will not complete calls from your Number to 900, 976 and similar numbers for payper-call services.
International Calling. You may be limited in the international destinations that you can call with Services. You
should contact PCS Customer Service Solutions 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 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 equipment or facilities failure or shortages,
transmission limitations or system capacity limitations;
e) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly arising from the use of Services, phones,
equipment or accessories used in connection with the Services;
Section 28
58 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Sprint Start.book Page 59 Monday, June 17, 2002 8:57 AM
f) the use of Wireless Web Services and PCS Vision applications and services, including the accuracy or reliability
of any information obtained from the Internet using Wireless Web Services or from Voice Portal Services, PCS
Vision wireless services or Internet services, content or applications not supported by Sprint PCS;
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 earthquake), war, riot, strike, or orders of governmental authority;
k) any act or omission of any third party or independent contractor that offers products or services in conjunction
with or through the Services; or
l) your negligent or intentional act or omission.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES OR OTHER
EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST
PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION
SURVIVES TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
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 equipment used in connection with the
Services, and (2) any communications you make or receive using the Services. This indemnification extends to
and includes any attorney's fees and costs incurred by us arising from any actions or claims to which this
indemnification applies, or from the contesting of the applicability of this provision. This section survives
termination of this Agreement.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND
BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS' EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR
OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,
MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY AND
REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED
BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT,
NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. HOWEVER,
NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL PRECLUDE THE CUSTOMER FROM

RESOLVING ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT HE OR SHE OTHERWISE
WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The arbitrator will be selected
according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS or, alternatively, may be selected by
agreement of the parties, who shall cooperate in good faith to select the arbitrator. The arbitration will be
conducted by, and under the then-applicable rules of American Arbitration Association or JAMS, as applicable. All
expedited procedures prescribed by the applicable rules will apply. Any required hearing fees and costs shall be
paid by the parties as required by the applicable rules or as required by applicable law, but the arbitrator shall have
the power to apportion such costs as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
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.
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 PCS Customer Service Solutions. 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 PCS Customer Service Solutions, and (2) we may notify you by
leaving a message for you on your 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 this 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 your Home Service Area but on the Sprint Nationwide 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-Free USA for more
information.) You do not have to register your Number when traveling outside your Home Service Area.
Home Rate USA. This service lets you make or receive calls from anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network at your Home Service Area airtime rates.
Toll-Free USA. This service lets you call from anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide 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.
