Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 44 Understanding Your PCS PhoneSection 2DControlling Your Roaming ExperienceIn This SectionUnderstanding RoamingSetting Your Phone’s Roam ModeControlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guardoaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual band/tri mode PCS Phone works anywhere on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers and in limited areas where 1900 MHz digital networks are available.This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.RSection 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 45Understanding RoamingRecognizing Icons on the Display ScreenYour phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone. Roaming IndicatorSprint Nationwide PCS NetworkOther Digital Networks ( )Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.Roaming on Other Digital NetworksWhen you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 46Roaming on Analog NetworksWhen you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.Some features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter your passcode at the prompt.There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 47Setting Your Phone’s Roam ModeYour PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam.

This section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.P
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 132Getting the Most Out of Your RectptionKeeping Tabs on Signal StrengthThe 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 FeatureIf your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.Understanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (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 Radiofrequency SafetyThe design of your 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 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).Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 133Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak PerformanceThere are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s 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 and remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer SolutionsSM for service.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 PhoneFAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGEUsing Your Phone While DrivingTalking 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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 134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.Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store. You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing on your PCS Phone.Following Safety GuidelinesTo 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 DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (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.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.Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 135Turning Off Your Phone Before FlyingTurn 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 AreasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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, just 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 PhoneYour PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 136Caring for the BatteryProtecting Your BatteryThe guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or 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.Never dispose of the battery by incineration.Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: Less than one month: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C) More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) BatteriesFor safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint-authorized service center.Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 137Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC NoticeFCC NoticeThe 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 (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.CautionsAny 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. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.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.Body-Worn OperationSAR compliance for body-worn operating configurations is limited to thespecific belt-clip/ holster tested for this filing. End-users must beinformed of the body-worn operating requirements for satisfyingRF exposure compliance. The use of accessories that do not satisfythese requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure complianceand should be avoided.For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Web site at www..fcc.gov.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information4A: Safety 138Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.The highest reported SAR values of the [SPH-A660] are:AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.32 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.55 W/kgPCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.74 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.22 W/kgFCC Radiofrequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: A3LSPHA660. More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.Owner’s RecordThe model number, regulatory number and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment.
