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.
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).

Basics
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 Service Solutions 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 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.
Basics
60
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.
Do not touch the antenna on the phone unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects the call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
Tip:
Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.
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. 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 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.
61
Basics
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way
radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-
control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting
in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:
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.
Basics
62
Caring for the Battery
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.
Note:
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

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.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear
a handset on your body, use the Sprint approved carrying case, holster
or other accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (2.0 centimeters) from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC Web site at

or based on government calculations may increase or decrease on a
monthly basis, and that this paragraph does not apply to any increases
in such taxes, Universal Service fees and other charges.
Provision of Service.
Your purchase of a PCS Phone 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 or other areas.
Credit Verification.
You must have and maintain 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 credit
bureaus. If at any time we determine, in our sole discretion, that
payment for Services may not be made when due, we may suspend
Services and require that you provide payment on account or a
guarantee of payment before we resume Services.
Service Plan.
You may be eligible for a fixed length PCS Service Plan
(“Term Service Plan”) or for a month-to-month Service Plan (“Non-
Term Service Plan”). We determine the Service Plan for which you
qualify. Except as permitted by the Agreement, you must maintain
service with us on your Term Service Plan for the minimum term
associated with that Term Service Plan. 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. Based on your
credit rating or other factors, we 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 in addition to the
charges associated with the Service Plan or optional service features
you select. If you are on a Term Service Plan and you want to change
your service plan, you may be required to accept a new Term Service
Plan and we may require you to pay the early termination fee set out in
your Service Plan or other fee.
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.
EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY
THE AGREEMENT, IF YOU TERMINATE YOUR TERM
SERVICE PLAN BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM, OR IF WE
TERMINATE SERVICES FOR CAUSE BEFORE THE END OF
THE TERM, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE EARLY
TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TERM
SERVICE PLAN. No early termination fee is charged if you terminate
a Term Service Plan in accordance with the return policy associated
with your Term Service Plan. After the expiration of the term, the
Terms relating to Non-Term Service Plans apply.
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 if: (1) you breach any provision of this Agreement
(including if you fail to pay any charges for Services); or (2) you fail to
pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise. If Services are
terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, we will not
prorate the monthly recurring charge to the date of termination, and
you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes 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. Your PCS Phone will not accept the services of any
wireless provider other than Sprint (but see Roaming). 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.
67
Basics
You may not resell or lease Services or equipment to anyone.
Coverage.
Most services are only available within the operating range
of the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network (also see Roaming). Coverage
is not available everywhere. Coverage and quality of Services may be
affected by conditions within or beyond our control, including
network problems, signal strength, your equipment, and atmospheric,
geographic, or topographic conditions. We do not guarantee service
availability or that there will be no interruptions or delays in Services
(e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.).
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.
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. 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, (including voicemail
access, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.), connection fees, roaming
charges, directory assistance, call completion charges, account review
and management charges, optional features you select at an extra cost,
surcharges related to government programs, and taxes. 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,
Basics
68
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 (“PCS Vision network”), you will be incurring data usage
charges. You cannot receive incoming calls while using third
generation services. Data 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 our PCS
Vision network, a session may be ended and new session initiated,
although no interruption to the actual data session will occur. The
amount of data used and charged to you will vary widely, depending
upon the specific PCS Vision wireless application or other service you
use, the amount of data used in the specific application or service, and
network congestion. 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 websites and use other applications and services,
including those resulting from dropped network connections. Your
invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable
to your use of specific sites, sessions or services used.
PCS Vision Premium Services.
Your PCS Vision wireless services
may allow you to access or download premium content for an
additional charge. Certain PCS Vision services (e.g., games, ringers and
screen savers) primarily contain premium services content. Access to
and downloading of premium content is not included with PCS Vision
services. The additional charges for this premium content will be billed
to you on your PCS Invoice. You will be charged for this content (at
rates and charges specified at the time of access or download) that will
69
Basics
be in addition to data usage charges you will incur while connected to
the enhanced PCS Vision network. We provide no warranties and
make no representations or claims with regard to 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 limit the amount of
Premium Services you may purchase in a specific time frame (month,
week, day, or other time period). We may suspend your use of
Premium Services 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.
Other Terms Applicable to PCS Vision Wireless Usage.
Use of
PCS Vision wireless services requires the purchase of a 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 while off the PCS Vision network. 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 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.
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
Basics
70
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.
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.
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 immediately 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
71
Basics
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 non-payment, 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.
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
Basics
72
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, 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 are not available in all markets or while roaming off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network. Use of Wireless Web Services requires an
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. Wireless Web Services are not available on PCS
Vision phones or devices. The Caller ID blocking feature is not
available when using Wireless Web Services. Any use of Wireless Web
Services deducts from your Service Plan minutes. 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 are not available with all Service

Plans. Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements,
services or other information provided by third-parties and accessible
through Wireless Web Services or 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.
Taxes and Surcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges
levied by or remitted directly to federal, state or local authorities, or
foreign government on Services including, without limitation, sales,
gross receipts, use, and excise taxes. 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. We also invoice you for fees that we collect and remit to the
government such as Universal Service, and for surcharges that we
collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government
mandates such as number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911
service. These charges are neither taxes nor government imposed
assessments.
Roaming.
Calls made while off 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 and services may not be available when
roaming (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding,
etc.).
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
Basics
74
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.
Messages.
You will incur airtime usage charges when accessing your
voicemail from your PCS Phone. You may also incur charges in
accessing text messages from your PCS Phone. You may access your
voicemail without incurring airtime usage charges by checking your
voicemail from a wireline phone. We may impose limits on the number
of voicemail or text message that can be retained through your PCS
account. Audible or visual indicators of text or voicemail messages,
including mailbox icons on your PCS Phone, may not always provide
an up to date indication of new messages. In certain instances, you
may be required to manually reset or clear your mailbox indicator.
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. TTY doesn't work with all PCS Phones. If you have a
PCS TTY-capable phone, it may not function effectively, or at all,
when attempting 911 calls due to the equipment or software of the
answering agency. Therefore, a TTY device should not be relied on for
911 calls.
Pay-Per-Call Service.
We will not complete calls from your Number
75
Basics
to 900, 976 and similar numbers for pay-per-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;
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;
Basics
76
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.

REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH CLAIM,
CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY

Basics
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
CPR 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 the CPR
Institute for Dispute Resolution. 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 (subject
to the appeal clause below), and judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
An appeal may be taken under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure
from any final award of any arbitral panel in any arbitration arising out
of or related to this agreement that is conducted in accordance with
the requirements of such Appeal Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed
by the parties and the appeal tribunal, the appeal shall be conducted at
the place of the original arbitration.
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 effective
three 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.

78
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. This Agreement is
subject to any applicable federal and state law (collectively, “Applicable
Laws”). 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. If there is a conflict, the Service Plan
(including any Term Service Plan) controls over the Terms.
