A TTY (also known as a 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.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the
manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a
special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was
not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer
SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by
first dialing
. Then provide the state TRS with this
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

Controlling Your Roaming
Experience
Your 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.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Other 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).
oaming 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.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
44
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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
enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access
certain features, such as PCS Vision.
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
45
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
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 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
Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone
accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your phone to control your
roaming experience:
1. Press
for Main Menu.
2. Press
for Settings.
3. Press
for Others.
4. Press
for Roaming.
5. Press
for Set Mode.
6. To select an option, highlight it and press
•Automatic: This setting seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.
•Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming
system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or Automatic) is
restored the next time the phone is turned on.
•Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to access the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming on
other networks.
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.

Getting Started With PCS Vision
Launching a PCS Vision Connection
With your Vision-enabled PCS Phone and PCS Service, you are ready to
start enjoying the advantages of PCS Vision. This section will help you
learn the basics of using your PCS Vision services, including managing
your User Name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web
with your Vision-enabled PCS Phone.
Your User Name
To launch a PCS Vision connection:
1. Press
for Main Menu.
2. Press
for Web.
3. Your PCS Vision connection will launch and the PCS Vision Home
page will display.
The PCS Vision Home Page
When you buy a Vision-enabled PCS Phone and sign up for service,
you're automatically assigned a User Name. Then, when you use PCS
Vision services, your User Name is submitted to identify you to the
enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The User Name is also useful
as an address for PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and as
an online virtual identity.
A User Name is typically based on the customer's name and a number,
followed by "@sprintpcs.com." For example, the third John Smith to sign
up for PCS Vision services might have jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his
User Name. If you want a particular User Name, you can visit
www.sprintpcs.com and get the name you want – as long as nobody else
has it.
Shortcut: You can also press the navigation key right to launch the Web.
Note: If Net Guard is enabled and displayed (see below), select OK (right
softkey) to continue and launch the Web.
Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User Name, that will automatically
become your PCS Vision User Name.
While connecting, the following will appear on the screen: Internet Connecting as jsmith003@sprintpcs.com....
Your User Name will be automatically programmed into your PCS
Phone. You don't have to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren't sure what your PCS Vision User Name is, you can easily find
it online or on your PCS Phone:
At www.sprintpcs.com: Log on to your account using your PCS Phone
Number and password. Your User Name appears in the top banner,
next to your phone number.
On your PCS Phone: Your User Name should appear on your phone's
display screen in standby mode. You can also find it under the Phone
Info option in your phone's main menu.
Section 3: Using PCS Service Features
3B: PCS VisionSM
102
If you had a previous PCS Vision connection, the last page you visited will
display when you launch your browser, for example, PCS Short Mail or
ESPN Top News. When this occurs, you may not see the "Connecting
as..." message when you launch the session. Though the browser is open,
you are not currently in an active data session - that is, no data is being
sent or received. As soon as you navigate to another page, the active
session will launch and you will see the "Connecting as..." message.

Navigating through menus and Web sites during a PCS Vision session is
easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are some tips for getting
around:
Note: When enabled, the Net Guard appears only once per session. The
Net Guard does not appear if the phone is merely re-connecting due to a
time-out.
PCS Vision Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone's display lets you know the current status of your PCS Vision
connection through indicators which appear at the top of the screen. The
following symbols are used:
Your PCS Vision connection is active (data is being transferred).
Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice
calls can be made, but the PCS Vision connection will
terminate.
Your PCS Vision connection is dormant (no data is being sent or
received). Though not currently active, when dormant the
phone can restart an active connection quickly; voice calls can
be made and received.
Your phone is not currently able to access PCS Vision service
features.
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current PCS Vision
connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a PCS Vision
Connection” on page 103.

User Guide Proprietary Notice
art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is learning how the phone
works and how to care for it. This section outlines performance and
safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s
operation.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety
131
Getting the Most Out of Your Rectption
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. 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.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There 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.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your 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 Safety
The 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 Information

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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety
133
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.
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
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 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.
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: 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 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.
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 Information
4A: Safety
To 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.

Caring for the Battery
Acknowledging Special Precautions
and the FCC Notice
Protecting Your Battery
The 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) Batteries
For 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.
FCC Notice
The 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.
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. 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 Operation
SAR compliance for body-worn operating configurations is limited to the
specific belt-clip/ holster tested for this filing. End-users must be
informed of the body-worn operating requirements for satisfying
RF exposure compliance. The use of accessories that do not satisfy
these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Web site at
www..fcc.gov.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

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.
The highest reported SAR values of the [SPH-A660] are:
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.32 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.55 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.74 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.22 W/kg
