install and run over 10,000 Palm Computing applications.
Custom e-mail and web applications have been included and
especially designed to work with the Sprint PCS Phone™. The

Remaining Battery Power
The remaining battery power is indicated on the screen using
a battery icon in the upper right corner of the display.
Note:
If your battery drains and
you have the unit in an
uncharged state for an
extended period of time,
you can lose all of the
stored data.
Note: A battery indicator also exists on the LCD screen. Both
indicators are a correct measurement of battery power.
If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon blinks
and the phone sounds a warning tone. The phone may power
down to conserve battery power to maintain the phone’s data.
Note: Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger,
travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your
battery.
Using the Desktop Charger
To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the serial connector rubber plug from the bottom
of your phone.
3. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.
䊳A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is
charging.
䊳A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90
percent charged.
䊳A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a
temperature that is too high or low, or that the charger is
not plugged in correctly. Please check the charger and the
battery.
It generally takes about three 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.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen 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 chart indicates
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Note: You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming
calls.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
Tip:
If you’re on a call when
you leave the Sprint PCS
Network and enter an
area where roaming is
available (whether CDMA
or analog cellular), your
call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area
where you think
Sprint PCS Service is
available, turn your phone
off and on again to
reconnect to the Sprint
PCS Nationwide Network.
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 the 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 some features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences

Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events
䊳If you change the start date of a repeating event, your
phone calculates the number of days you moved the event.
Your phone then automatically changes the end date to
maintain the duration of the repeating event.
䊳If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a
repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on
which you change the setting) are not changed, and your
phone creates a new repeating event.
䊳If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating
event (e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the
change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start
date of the repeating event. Your phone adjusts the end
date to maintain the duration of the event.
䊳If you change other repeat settings (for example, time,
alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change
to all occurrences, your phone creates a new event. The
start date of this new event is the day on which the setting
Section 12
148 Date Book
is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the
change) are not changed.
䊳If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating
event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the
Repeat icon.

Managing Desktop E-mail
You can send or receive e-mail after you have performed a
HotSync operation, either locally using your phone cradle, or
remotely using a modem.
The Palm™ Desktop application synchronizes the mail in the
Inbox of your desktop e-mail application with the mail on
your phone. For example, if you delete e-mail items from your
phone, your next HotSync operation also deletes the e-mail
items from your desktop e-mail application. This keeps you
from deleting the e-mail items twice.
Similarly, if you read an e-mail item on your phone and leave
it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation indicates in
your desktop e-mail application that the item has been read.
The mail application lets you:
䊳View, delete, file, and reply to incoming e-mail.
䊳Create outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items.
䊳Create simple or complex filters, which let you to decide

HotSync Options
You can manage your e-mail application more effectively by
selecting HotSync options to control which items download
when you synchronize your phone and your desktop
computer. Different options can be set up for local and remote
synchronization.
For example, you may want to download all of your e-mail
items when you are working at the office and synchronizing
your devices locally, but only urgent e-mail items when you
are away from your office and synchronizing your devices
remotely. Once your local and remote options have been
defined, your phone determines if synchronization is
occurring locally or remotely and uses the appropriate settings
for the HotSync operation.
You can filter messages to control which ones are downloaded,
and you can set truncation options to download only part of
larger e-mail items.
Downloading transmits only e-mail items and any text
information, not attachments, to your phone. Downloaded
attachments are left in your desktop e-mail application.

Filter Strings
Your phone filters e-mail based on information in their To,
From, and Subject fields, called a filter string. You create a
filter string by listing the words you want your phone to find
and separating them by either a comma or a space. Each word
in the filter string is joined by an implicit OR; your phone adds
the logical connectors like AND or OR.
To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for
the To, From, and Subject fields. Your phone joins the filter
strings for these fields using an implicit AND, and adds the
logical connector for you.
For example, you might want to receive only e-mail items
from John Smith (jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones
(jjones@aol.com) concerning the Apollo Project. You would
create the following filter strings:
䊳In the To field: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com
䊳In the Subject field: Apollo Project
Your phone interprets this as, “Accept e-mail items about the
Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-
mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from
John or Jack about any other subject.”
When you define a string, your phone searches for any
instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you
define a filter that retrieves only e-mail items with the string
“info,” appropriate matches would include “info,”
“rainforest” and “kinfolk.”
Section 13
172 Managing Mail
Define a Filter String
1. Tap the To, From, or Subject header field in the HotSync
Options dialog box.
2. Enter your filter string using commas or spaces to
separate the words. Do add any connectors like “AND” or
“OR” between the words.
3. If the string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name
of the field to display the Notes screen.
4. Tap “Done” to return to the HotSync dialog box.
5. Tap “OK” to exit.
High Priority Messages
If the desktop computer e-mail application has the ability to
designate High Priority messages, your phone Mail can be set

much more. Since web clipping is fast and easy, you’ll always be in touch no matter

232 Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping is a fast and easy way to retrieve information
from the Internet on your phone. A simple process of query
and response is used to send and retrieve information. Most of
the large graphics are removed to achieve a faster download
rate.
Just as an ordinary desktop browser gives you access to many
different websites, your phone gives you access to many
different web clipping sites. These sites are called web clipping
applications. They are created from third party developers, but
are used like a Palm OS® application such as Date Book. The
web clipping application is displayed as an icon in the
Application Launcher.
Web Clipping vs. Web Browsing
When you browse the internet with Netscape Navigator or
Microsoft Explorer, you are using a desktop machine capable
of displaying complex graphic images and text at a relatively
high speed. With your phone, that approach is not as effective.
The screen is smaller and the memory is far less than what is
needed to process all the images.
Web Clipping takes a new approach to getting information
from the Internet. Instead of downloading complex images, a
query and response technique is used.
The Clipping offers the following advantages:
䊳Convenience - Since your phone has a wireless Internet
connection, it can be used anywhere.
䊳Focus - Web Clipping applications focus on retrieving
small pieces of up-to-date information.

Using Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping is basically a query and response technique that
gathers information from the Internet and downloads it to
your phone. The process works like this:
䊳First, you open a Web Clipping application that provides
the desired information, for example Movie Listings.
䊳Next, a query is sent for specific information. For example,
movie listings in your zip code.
䊳Next, you enter a zip code in a space provided and tap a
“Submit” button to request the desired movie listings from
the Internet.
䊳The web clipping application sends the request to the
Internet and returns quickly with a clipping that gives the
piece of information requested. In this case, current movie
listings in your zip code.
Working with Web Clipping Applications
Web clipping applications are designed to work like any other
standard application installed on your phone. The skills and
techniques learned by using the other standard applications
can be applied when using the web clipping applications.
Web clipping applications are similar to standard applications
in the following ways:
䊳You can use Graffiti text or an onscreen keyboard when
entering information.
䊳The interface of the applications are all similar. For
example, drop down menus, edit lines, check boxes, etc.
䊳The edit commands are all the same. For example, cut,
copy, paste, etc.
Section 20
234 Web Clipping Applications
Drop Down Menu Sorting
In web clipping applications, the drop down lists are all sorted
alphabetically or numerically depending on the content. You
can also write the first letter and be automatically taken to the
first entry in the list, just like the Phone Lookup feature.
Stopping a Wireless Transaction
1. Tap the Stop icon located in the top menu bar of the
web clipping application.
Note:
Any data already
downloaded prior to the
stop command is
displayed on the screen.
Charges apply for the air
time that was used to
download the cancelled
data.
Reviewing Current Queries (Back Arrow)
Your phone stores the previous queries of your current session.
This allows you to review the entries by using the “Back
Arrow”.
To go to a previously viewed page:
1. Tap the Back Arrow icon located in the top menu bar
of the web clipping application.
History List
The history list keeps a list of all stored clippings in the History
drop down menu. You see only the clippings that pertain to the
web clipping application that is open. When another web
clipping application is open, the history list is changed to
reflect the stored clippings that pertain to the open
application.
To review the history list:
1. Open the desired web clipping application from the
Application Launcher main menu.
2. Tap the History drop down menu located at the top of the
screen.

Section 22
256 HotSync® Operations
IR HotSync Operations
Your phone is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that
supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for
infrared communication established by the Infrared Data
Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam
data to another Palm OS® handheld that is equipped with an
IR port, but you can also beam data to a cell phone and any
other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the
IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to
perform HotSync operations. This is especially useful if you
travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable
infrared communication on your laptop and handheld and
follow the steps in “Performing an IR HotSync operation”
later in this section.
Preparing your computer for infrared communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port,
the desktop computer must have the following requirements:
䊳The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation
of the IrDA standards.
䊳The computer must have an enabled infrared port that is
built into the computer, or an enabled infrared device
attached to the computer.
Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device
attached to a physical COM port. Laptop computers are likely
to have a built-in IR port, so no external device is necessary.
Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.
Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the
computer supports infrared communication. If your desktop
computer uses Microsoft® Windows 98 or Windows 2000,
infrared communication is built into the operating system.

䊳Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
art of getting the most out of your phone is knowing where and how it works at
optimum efficiency. This section outlines performance and safety guidelines
that ensure you experience the full quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to
give you.
P
Section 24
264 Performance and Safety
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
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 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 Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a powersave feature is automatically activated. If
your phone is on, it periodically rechecks service availability or
you can check yourself by pressing any key. 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.
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).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Note:
For the best care of your
phone, only Sprint PCS
authorized personnel
should service your phone
and its accessories. Faulty
service may void the
warranty.
䊳Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended and
over your shoulder.
䊳Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
䊳Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
䊳Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
䊳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 PCS Center or call Sprint PCS
Customer Care for service.

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 and entertainment systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
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.
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
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
Section 24
268 Performance and Safety
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:
䊳Fueling areas such as gas stations
䊳Below deck on boats
䊳Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
䊳Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust or metal powders
䊳Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your 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.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
䊳Use only Sprint PCS-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.
䊳In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).
䊳Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
䊳Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䊳Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䊳Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䊳The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
䊳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.
䊳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 (Lilon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your Lilon batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint PCS-authorized service center.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon
battery.
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.
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the
FCC Notice
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 voids
the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a
defect to the phone.

Performance and
Safety
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 phone on your body, use a Sprint PCS approved
carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do
not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least
one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.
Use of non-Sprint PCS approved accessories may violate FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rate (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 that 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
Section 24
272 Performance and Safety
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal
standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

is made up of these Terms and Conditions of Service
("Terms") and the Service Plan we agree to provide you. Your
"Service Plan" is described in our marketing materials and
includes the rates and features we set for that Service Plan. We
use the words "we," "us," "our" or "Sprint PCS" to refer to
Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint
PCS in these Terms. When you activate Services or attempt to

Network when roaming, including "911" or similar calls), you
accept the Agreement.
Provision of Service
Your purchase of Sprint PCS phones or other equipment does
not mean that we must provide Services to you. We may decide
not to provide Services to you for any lawful reason. We may
request that you provide us with any information we
reasonably require to determine whether you qualify for
Services. Services in some areas are managed and provided
under contract with Sprint PCS by independent affiliates with
access to the Sprint PCS Network. Some Services may not be
available or may operate differently in certain affiliate
markets.
Credit Verification
You must have and keep satisfactory credit to receive and
continue to receive Services. We will verify your credit before
agreeing to provide Services to you and we may verify your
credit at any time while we provide Services to you. Credit
verification may include a review of credit reports that we
receive from commercially available credit bureaus. We may
require a guaranty of payment by an individual or entity
approved by us. If at any time we determine, in our sole
discretion, that payment for Services may not be made when
due, we may suspend Services to your phone and require that
you provide payment on account or a guarantee of payment
before we resume Services to your phone.
Section 25
276 Terms & Conditions/Warranty
Changes to Agreement
We may change this Agreement at any time (but see Service
Plans). Any changes to the Terms are effective when we
provide you with notice. If you use our Services or make any
payment to us on or after the effective date of the changes, you
accept the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you may
terminate Services (but see Termination; Changing Service
Plans). For purposes of the Agreement, "use" includes keeping
the right to access the Sprint PCS Network by not terminating
Services. You may not modify the Agreement except for your
Service Plan (see Termination; Changing Service Plans).
Service Plan
You may be eligible for a fixed length 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. We may offer non-identical Service Plans to
different individuals or entities. Services and coverage under
some Service Plans may be more limited as compared to other
Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the charges for
Services and is your Service Plan until that Service Plan is
changed, you switch to a different Service Plan, or your
Services terminate. Your Service Plan may require that you
make a deposit, prepayment, or a series of deposits or
prepayments, or be subject to an account spending limit,
before Services are activated or maintained.
Changing Service Plans
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may change to a
different Service Plan for which you qualify by contacting us.
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

Plan, your ability to change to another Service Plan may be
limited and we may require you to pay a termination fee as set
out in your Service Plan.

Account Spending Limits if a person 18 years or older is also
named as a subscriber on the Account. Services and
equipment may not be used for any unlawful, fraudulent or
abusive purpose. By requesting Services, you agree that you
will not use Services and equipment in any unlawful,
fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease
Services or equipment to anyone. Services are available within

Number
We assign a phone number ("Number") to the phone or other
equipment used by you on the Sprint PCS Network. We may
change the Number by giving you prior notice. You do not
own the Number. You may not (1) modify the Number we
program into any phone or other equipment, (2) transfer or
duplicate the Number to any phone or other equipment other
than that authorized by us, or (3) 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, or we activate a different phone
on your existing account. Details on any applicable phone
activation fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be
obtained by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Charges
You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for
Services provided to the Number for each phone or other
equipment that our records show you activated no matter who
actually uses or has possession of the phone or other
equipment at the time Services are provided. These charges
include, but are not limited to, recurring monthly service
charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges, usage
charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory
assistance, call completion charges, optional features you
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related
charges. Charges for a completed call from your Number that
is dialed manually begin when you press the TALK (or similar
key) and end when the call is terminated by either party. You
are invoiced for completed calls to your Number from the time

shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is
terminated by either party. Charges for most Services are
incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of
use rounded up to the next highest minute. Certain Service
Plans do not include itemized message transmission detail,
even for measured service. Other Services are invoiced on a
recurring monthly flat rate charge and you do not receive
itemized message transmission detail on them.
Voice Command
The Sprint PCS Voice Command feature an optional service
that allows you to place calls without manually dialing 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 that is dialed
using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or
activate the TALK or similar key (including the ## keys for
making subsequent calls) and end when your call is
terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the Voice
Command platform. If you initiate and complete a subsequent
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 the Voice Command feature, including the entire
amount of time spent interacting with the Voice Command
platform. Using Directory Assistance to input names into your
Voice Command address book will incur additional charges.
Details on charges for the Voice Command feature can be
found in the marketing materials for this feature or by calling
Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Section 25
280 Terms & Conditions/Warranty
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. Airtime is invoiced retroactively to the first minute
based on your Service Plan for your total usage in your
invoicing cycle. Charges for Services are usually invoiced as
soon as possible after the charges accrue (unless you are
receiving Services under a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan).
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 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 applicable per minute overage rate set out 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 (including any late charges,
taxes or other regulatory related charges) due to us or billed by
us on behalf of a third party. You must promptly notify us of
any change in your invoicing address or of the credit card or
bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to require
payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured
form of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond
invoicing you for charges for Services or equipment, you must
pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’

fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court
costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service
provider, payments received are first applied to amounts due
and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied to
sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We
may charge an additional fee for any check or other
negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid
by a financial institution for any reason.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date
shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid
at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by
law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day that payment
is past due, but are not compounded monthly. 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.
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
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general
business offices are not notice of a dispute. You do not have to
pay any properly disputed amounts while we investigate them;
however, you must pay amounts not in dispute by the due date.
If disputed invoice procedures are described on the invoice,
you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate
Services at any time by giving us notice. We may terminate
Section 25
282 Terms & Conditions/Warranty
Services at any time, with or without notice (subject to this
Agreement). We may deactivate any Number before you
receive notice of termination (if we give any notice) without
liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or
without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan, (1) your ability to terminate
Services before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability
to change to another Service Plan before the end of the term
may be limited and may result in a termination and/or
activation fee, (3) you may be required to pay a termination
fee as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, (4) we may
not terminate Services without cause before the end of the
term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause before the end
of the term you may be required to pay a termination fee as
liquidated damages. No termination fee is charged if you
terminate a Term Service Plan within 14 days of activation of
your Sprint PCS Phone. During the term we must give each
other notice to terminate Services. At and after the expiration
of the term, you may terminate Services at any time by giving
us notice and we may subject to this Agreement terminate
Services at any time, with or without notice.
Termination. General.
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service
Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you without
liability (1) if you breach any provision of this Agreement
(including if you fail to pay any charges for Services) or (2) if
you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise.
If you promptly cure the breach, we may, but are not obligated
to, reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges for (1)

are terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle,
(1) the monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of
termination, and (2) you will not receive a credit or refund for
any unused minutes in your Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account Spending
Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit
before we start Services to your Number, or as reasonably
practicable after the limit is imposed. If we require a deposit
for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending
Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of
payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Charges for
Services accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they
are incurred. 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 PCS. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care for
information about authorized methods of making these
payments. 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.
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
Section 25
284 Terms & Conditions/Warranty
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 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 any excess is returned 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
we may charge a monthly 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.
Prepaid Service Plans. General.
(Prepaid Services are not available in Southern California,
Hawaii or certain Sprint PCS affiliate markets.) If we provide
Services to you on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you may
be required to pay an Initial Prepaid Service Fee to establish
your prepaid account with us. This Initial Prepaid Service Fee
is non-refundable and does not apply against charges for
phone calls you make or receive or service charges. You must
keep a positive balance in your prepaid account in order to
make or receive calls. The balance in your prepaid account is
reduced by daily or monthly service charges (or both), in
addition to the charges for the phone calls you make and
receive. Charges for Prepaid Services are invoiced in one-
minute increments and deducted from your prepaid account
balance. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next
highest minute. If you add additional options to your prepaid
account, the monthly charges for them will be deducted from

your prepaid account which could bring your account balance
to $0 or below. When you have used all of the money in your
prepaid account, Services are suspended until you add money
to your account. You may add money to your prepaid account
by any means we agree to accept (e.g. Sprint PCS Prepaid
Wireless Cards). If you do not have any money in your prepaid
account for 45 consecutive days, you will have to pay a
reconnection fee to restore Services. During this 0-45 day
period with a $0 balance, your daily or monthly service
charges (or both) will continue to accrue and you must pay
any accrued charges plus a reconnection fee before Services
are restored. If you do not have any money in your prepaid
account for 90 consecutive days, we close the account. If you
wish to restore Services in the future, you will be subject to
current Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan availability and the
current Terms; in addition, you may be charged a reactivation
fee. If you call us toll-free at 1-888-263-9695, we can provide
information about adding money to your prepaid account, the
fees for restoring or reactivating Services, Number availability
and balance information. You must pay all charges for
Services used by you whether or not they are more than the
amount of money in your prepaid account. Services and
coverage under Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans may be more
limited than under other Service Plans. Money in your prepaid
account may be mixed with our money. We do not pay interest
on money in your prepaid account. We do not refund unused
money in your prepaid account and will not transfer unused
money to anyone else or any other Sprint PCS prepaid or non-
prepaid account.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Daily Service Charge)
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Daily Service
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account once each
day, which could bring your account balance to $0 or below.
Section 25
286 Terms & Conditions/Warranty
You can avoid disruption in Services by keeping a positive
balance in your account. Even if your account balance
reaches $0, the Daily Service Charge continues to accrue for 45
consecutive days, causing your account balance to become
negative. After 45 consecutive days with a $0 or negative
balance, we will charge you a reconnection fee in addition to
the accrued Daily Service Charge to restore Services.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans
(Monthly Service Charge)
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Monthly Service
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account on the first
day of each month. This could bring our account balance to
$0 or below. You can avoid disruption in Services by adding
enough money to your account before the end of each month
to cover the Monthly Service Charge and keep a positive
balance in your account.
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans

If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan does not have a
Monthly Service Charge and you have not added money to
your account for 60 consecutive days, your account balance is
forfeited. If you add money to your prepaid account within the

added are carried forward for another 60 consecutive days.

Prepaid Wireless Card and do not have a Sprint PCS Prepaid
Service Plan, you can use the card to make prepaid phone
calls that will not show up on your monthly invoice. You will
not be able to use the card after the expiration date or 60
consecutive days after making your first call using the card
(whichever comes first).
Wireless Web Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be
obtained through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may not
be immediately available in some Sprint PCS affiliate markets.
Use of Wireless Web Services requires a wireless data
compatible phone or certain other equipment (or both) and is
subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the
phone or other equipment. The Caller ID blocking feature is
not available when using Wireless Web Services. Your Number
is transmitted to any site you visit on the Internet. You are
charged for time spent connected to the Wireless Web,
including time spent browsing on the Internet and reviewing
or scrolling through Internet information on-line while still
connected to the Sprint 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 Sprint PCS account information.
Wireless Web Services currently are not available when you are
roaming off the Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are
not available to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service
Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit
basis, you may be limited in the Wireless Web Services
available to you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our
website at www.sprintpcs.com for availability and equipment
compatibility information. Specific additional information
about Wireless Web Services, including pricing, included

minutes and combining with other Service Plans, is available
in Sprint PCS’ standard sales collateral for Sprint PCS Wireless
Web Services or at www.sprintpcs.com. Sprint PCS is not a
publisher of third party content that can be accessed through
Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS is not responsible for any
opinions, advice, statements, services or other information
that is provided by third parties and accessible through
Wireless Web Services. Sprint PCS does not guarantee the
accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is
obtained through the Wireless Web Services. You are
responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, regulatory related obligations and
other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities, or
foreign government on Services, or mandated to be paid in
proportion to receipts from telecommunications services
provided, or on sales of equipment (except for taxes based on
our net income), if we pay these taxes or other regulatory
related charges. Taxes, regulatory related charges and charges
not directly paid by us are not invoiced to you, but payment to
the taxing or levying authority of any applicable taxes,
regulatory related charges and charges due from you are your
responsibility. If you claim any tax exemption, you must
provide us with a valid tax-exempt document. Any tax
exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax-
exempt document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of
the Sprint PCS Network are “roaming” calls. Your
Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed and engineered to
work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It works on other CDMA
PCS providers’ systems only when a roaming agreement is in

place between Sprint PCS and the other providers. If your
Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a
CDMA PCS provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint PCS
Network) and a wireless analog telecommunications
provider’s system only when roaming agreements are in place
between Sprint PCS 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.
Certain features are not available when roaming. Roaming
rates may be different from and higher than the rates you pay
for calls within your Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the
Sprint PCS Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according
to the practices of the roaming service provider. When
roaming, you are subject to the limitation of liability
provisions and other applicable rules imposed by the roaming
service provider on its own subscribers or on roamers.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services
for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis. Interruptions
caused by your negligent or willful actions, or by failure of
equipment or service not provided by us, or by causes beyond
our reasonable control, do not qualify for credit. We may
provide you with an airtime credit of one minute for a call that
is disconnected because of transmission limitations caused by
atmospheric, geographic or topographic conditions and that
you redial within one minute of disconnection. You must
notify us within 24 hours of the disconnection to request
credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and returned
as provided in the purchase documents. We are not the
manufacturer of the phones or other equipment and the only
Section 25

warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited
warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no
liability in connection with the phones and other equipment
or for the manufacturers’ acts or omissions, or both.
Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must
notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. 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 (e.g., a police report or
affidavit). 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 reasonably cooperate with us in investigating
suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned
to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer Care 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. Caller ID delivery
resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on
incoming calls to your Number is dependent on receiving the
information from the calling party.
