For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone
kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm.) from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that
maintain a 0.6 inches (1.5 cm.) separation distance between the user’s body and the
back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of
third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be
avoided.

_ Understanding the difference Between Roaming and Sprint PCS Network calls
_ Setting your Phone ’s Roam mode
_ Setting and using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Your new dual-band Sprint PCS Phone ™ works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
and allows you to roam on analog cellular and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where
competitive wireless service is available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your
roaming experience.
Understanding how Roaming works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and
whether your phone is operating in analog cellular or digital mode. The following indicates what
you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone:
_ Sprint PCS Nationwide Network - A and R are not displayed.
_ Other CDMA networks - only R displays.
_ Analog Cellular Networks - both A and R display.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call quality will be similar to the quality
you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access
certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, however, all of your calls are still private
and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will experience the same quality provided by
analog cellular carriers today. Although most calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web,
may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences
including:
_ You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
_ Some features that are standard on the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
_ There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional
11
analog cellular services today.
_ Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog cellular roaming.
Setting your Phone ’s Roam mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu
option, you determine which signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control your roaming experience:
1.From the Main Menu, highlight Roaming , and press, OK or press MENU 4GHI.
2.Highlight Set Mode and press OK.
3.Press the scroll keys to display all options. To select an option, highlight it and press OK.
_ Sprint PCS:This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.
_ Automatic:This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it
searches for an alternative system (for example, and analog cellular signal). The phone defaults to
this setting at power up.
_ Analog:This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system. The Automatic setting is
restored the next time the phone is turned on.
Setting an Alert when roaming charges apply (Call Guard)
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. The following
settings apply to Call Guard.
Call Guard
This feature makes it easy to control when you roam by reminding you when you make or receive a
roaming call. It also requires you to take additional steps before placing or answering a roaming call.
These additional steps are not required when you make or receive calls while on the Sprint PCS
Nationwide Network.
To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:
1.From the Main Menu, highlight Roaming and press OK.
2.Highlight Call Guard and press OK or press 2ABC.
3.Highlight Yes or No and press OK.
To Place Roaming Calls with Call Guard On:
1.From the Main Menu, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number. (You can also initiate a call
from the Internal Phone Book, Call History, numeric pages or Sprint PCS Wireless Web messages.)
2.A message appears indicating that higher charges may apply to this roaming call. Press 1.-‘ to
make the call. To Answer Incoming Roaming Calls with Call Guard On:
12
_ A message appears indicating that higher charges will apply to this call. Press 1.-‘ to answer the
call. Remember if the Call Guard feature is set to Yes (On), you need to take extra steps to make and
receive roaming calls even if you have selected the Analog Only setting .
Setting the Time and Date in Analog mode
If the time has not been set since the battery was installed and you turn your phone on outside a
Sprint PCS Service Area, you are prompted to enter the current time and date when a calendar or
time related function is requested.
To enter the time and date when the Set Time and Date menu displays, press the appropriate keys on
your keypad.
Fields must be two digits, for example “05:07A 01/01/2001.”

Using the battery
Battery capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge
your battery before it is fully drained without any long term impact on the battery. The battery
provides approximately 3.3 hours of continuous digital talk time (1 hours in analog) or
approximately 200 hours of continuous digital standby time (20 hours in analog).
The empty battery icon
Two to three minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery
sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), sounding an audible alert and
displaying a warning message. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone
will turn off automatically (after the two to three minute delay). If this happens your call will be
ended. If you plug into a charging device, you can continue your call. Be sure to monitor the battery
strength icon and make sure your battery is adequately charged.
Installing the battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1.Hold the battery so that the metal contacts on the base of the battery line up with the metal contacts
on the base of the phone.
2.Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch
from the battery latch.
3.Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it snaps into place.
Removing the battery
To remove your battery follow these steps:
1.Power off your phone by briefly pressing the END key.
2.Press the battery release latch (see illustration) and slide the battery away from the latch.
3.Lift the battery away from the phone.
Charging the battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery.
You should charge the battery as soon as possible to 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’ll lose everything 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 gets too low, an empty battery icon ( )
blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to
charge your battery. know
Using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger
17
When you’re ready to charge your battery, it is vital that you use only Sprint PCS-approved desktop
chargers and travel chargers. To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:
1.Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet.
2.There are three possible charging configurations.
Choose the one that best suits your needs:
_ Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the front slot of the charger.
_ Insert a single battery (alone, not attached to the phone) into the rear compartment of the charger.
_ Insert a single battery into the rear compartment and your phone (with battery attached) into the
front compartment.
The LEDs on the front of the charger indicate the following:
_ A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is charging.
_ A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90 percent charged.
_ A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature that is too high or too low, or
that there is a poor connection. Check the phone to make sure it is properly positioned in the charger.
It generally takes about 3 hours to fully recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint
PCS-approved Lilon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.
To get the quickest charge for any battery:
_ Turn the phone off.
_ Put the phone with the battery attached, into the front slot of the charger.
_ Do not put a battery into the rear slot of the charger.
_ When two batteries are in the charger, the batteries charge simultaneously, but charging time
increases for both batteries.
_ Leaving batteries in the charger once fully charged will not hurt the batteries.

_ The Sprint PCS Wireless Web
_ Launching and using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
_ Creating and finding Bookmarks
_ Setting up a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection
_ Accessing Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates
By now you’ve discovered the great features that come with your Sprint PCS Phone™. Now it’s time to
experience the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. Let the adventure begin.
The Sprint PCS Wireless We
With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and your wireless Internet-ready phone, you have access to the
wireless Internet in three ways:
_ The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you to view specially-designed text versions of popular
web sites.
_ Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection allows you to connect to the Internet or your company’s network
with a laptop PC or hand-held computing device and a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection™ Kit.
_ Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates allows you to automatically receive the information that’s important
to you – emails, news, weather and more – directly on your Sprint PCS Phone.
The Sprint PCS Wireless We Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a MiniBrowser, which allows you to access up-to-the minute
information through the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed text versions of popular Internet sites, including Yahoo! ® ,
Amazon.com ® , The Weather Channel ® , and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your
phone is different than using a home computer because sites display specialized text and reduce their
graphics.
The MiniBrowser connects to the Internet by placing a call.
Note that ! appears on the display whenever a call is in progress, just as with a regular voice call.
Service charges vary depending on your service option.
Launching and using the Sprint PCS Wireless We Browser
To launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser:
_ From the Main Menu, highlight Wireless Web and Press 3DEF for LaunchBrowser or display a
69
LaunchBrowser, press OK. You’ll see a few introductory messages as the browser launches.
The first time you use the MiniBrowser, you’ll be prompted to enable the security feature. This automatic
process will take 3–6 minutes to complete and it occurs just once. When the process is complete, you're
ready to start using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. Following the security setup, you'll see the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web home page. This is the main page for the MiniBrowser and it gives you access to all the
sites in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. The next time you use the MiniBrowser, you may not see the home
page immediately because the MiniBrowser will display the page you were viewing when you last exited
the MiniBrowser The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home age 1 (example)
You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will launch without placing a call. This is because the
phone stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The MiniBrowser will connect automatically
when you access a page that's not stored in the cache.

If the phone has been inactive for a while and a new wireless Internet site has not been requested, the
MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection
will end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not
stored in the phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that you are billed for several network
connections within a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize airtime charges.
When launching or exiting the MiniBrowser, you may see a prompt.
Web Guard
Each time you launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser a reminder displays that you will be charged
for the connection time. If you wish to disable this reminder when it appears, follow the steps below:

_ Prompt To End:You will see the prompt only when you exit the browser.
_ Prompt None:You will never see the prompt.
4.Press OK to Save your setting or CLR to cancel.
Using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Using the MiniBrowser is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some tips for navigating the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
At the bottom of the Browser display is a solid bar which contains browser commands. “Soft” keys (OK
and Menu ) below the solid bar are used to execute the commands.
These two keys are called soft keys because their function changes depending on where you are in the
Browser software.
Scrolling
As with other parts of your phone's menu, you'll have to scroll up and down to see everything on some
wireless Internet sites. There are two ways to scroll:
_ The ▲▼ key scrolls down one line at a time.
_ You can use the volume keys on the side of your phone to quickly scroll one page at a time rather
than one line at a time.
Selecting
Once you've learned how to activate softkeys, you can start navigating wireless Internet sites.
_ Select on-screen items by scrolling, highlighting the desired item, then pressing the correct softkey.
You'll find that the left softkey (OK ) is used primarily for selecting items.

functions, or even place phone calls.

feature (the phone number may be highlighted and the left soft key will appear as "Call."). In most cases,
you can also use the TALK key to call the number. The Browser connection will be terminated when you
initiate the call. After you end the call, your phone will return to standby mode.
Receiving a phone call while using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Phone calls can be received while in an idle wireless web session. This is because your phone company
and your service provider transfer information back and forth between them, thus reducing your service
72
access cost. Your phone is connected only to the service provider during this exchange; and your Service
Indicator displays while this is taking place indicating that your phone is storing this information into
memory ready for your use. Whenever information is not being exchanged your phone can receive calls.
To answer a call while in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser press TALK . When your call is
completed, you are automatically returned to the wireless web session which is where you were when you
answered your call.
Ending a Browser Session

your Web Guard setting (Menu 2ABC 5JKL) is " Prompt to end " or both ", you will be prompted whether
you want to end the browser session.
