also available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 5 hours of
continuous digital talk time.
At 10% of charge capacity, the battery icon blinks.
At 3% of charge capacity, there are only a few minutes
of talk time left, the device sounds an audible alert,
displays a critical charge icon ( ), and then turns off.
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power
when you are in an area where there is no signal.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved
batteries and chargers with your device. The
failure to use a Sprint-approved or Samsung-
approved battery and charger may increase the
risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.

Installing the Battery
䊳See “Setting Up Your Device” on page 2.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose
any stored numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery cover and slide it away from
camera lens.
3. Carefully remove the battery from the device.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
SPH-M900.book Page 17 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:27 AM
18 2A. Device Basics
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If
your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off, and you will lose any
information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
䊳Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet. The device turns on in with the screen
locked and indicates both its charge state and
percent of charge.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.
Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The
following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:
䢇Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 51.
䢇Turn Bluetooth off when not is use. See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 113.
䢇Turn Wi-Fi off when not is use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On
and Off” on page 145.
䢇Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most
applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each
query drains your battery. See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 171.
䢇Delete the Weather Widget from your Desktop. This
Widget updates information every 30 minutes; each
update drains your battery. See “Adding and
Removing Widgets” on page 26.
䢇When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you
have to. See “Flash” on page 107.
䢇Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time
reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

Making a Voice Call With ASR
1. Press and hold . You then hear a prompt.
2. When you hear “Say a command,” say “Call”
followed by the name and the label for the phone
number you wish to call. For example, say “Call
John Smith Mobile.” The device dials the number
stored for the contact “John Smith” with the label
“Mobile.”
䡲You can also touch the onscreen Call <Name or
#> field to activate the function.
䡲If the location is not recognized or the name does
not have a phone number stored in Contacts,
your phone will play the message “No match
found,” and then return you to the previous
screen.
3. When you hear “Say the name or number,” say a
name or a phone number.
Tip: Use ASR in a quiet environment so it can accurately
recognize your commands.
During ASR operation, press Menu and tap Tutorial to
get instructions for using the software. Note: The “Say the name or number” prompt only occurs
after saying “Call”.

䡲If a name has only a single number, or if you
know the name but are not sure which number to
call, say “Call” followed by the name only. For
example, say “Call John.” If the name is
recognized and there is only one phone number
for the name, your device immediately places the
call.
4. When you hear “Which location?,” say a number
type (for example, “Mobile”).
䡲If there are multiple numbers stored for the
contact, the phone prompts you with “Which
Number?” and displays a list of options. You can
select an option by saying it or by touching the
corresponding phone number onscreen.
Calling a Phone Number With ASR
1. Press and hold . You then hear a prompt.
2. When you hear “Say a command,” say “Call”
followed immediately by a valid string of digits to

3. If the correct number is repeated, say “Yes” to dial
the number.
䡲If the number is not recognized, the phone will
play the message “Did you say call?”
䡲If the announced number is not correct, either say
“Yes,” “No,” or “Cancel.” When the correct number
is announced, say or touch “Yes” to dial the
number.
Note: The device uses the term “location” to describe the
multiple number categories for a Contact such as
Mobile, Work, etc...
Tip: You can skip steps 3 and 4 by saying a name and
location after “Call” without pausing (for example, “Call
John Jones mobile”).
Note: If ASR does not recognize the name or number, it will
find the most likely matches and display a list of up to
three names or numbers. You will hear “Did you say…”
followed by the name or number. You can confirm by
saying or tapping “Yes.” Say or tapping “No” to change
the selection.
Note: If the phone does not hear a command within
approximately eight seconds, it deactivates Speech to
Action without taking any action.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch the
previously paired device (from the bottom of the
page).
3. Tap OK to confirm disconnection.
– or –
From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold
the name of the previously paired device, and

record” and upon reconnection would require that you
re-enter all the previous pairing information.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold
the name of the previously paired device (from the
bottom of the page). This opens the connected
device’s menu options.

Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different, and functions such as transfer or
exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth-
compatible devices.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.
Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur
automatically if the paired device goes out of range of
your Samsung Moment™ or it is powered off.

off the Nationwide Sprint Network. Anytime you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If
you are roaming on a digital system, you will see the
roaming icon along with the text – Digital Roam – .

Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint
Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of
new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave
messages, but you will need to periodically check your
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming
service area for an extended period of time.
Note: You are charged a higher rate for calls you have
forwarded.

Getting Started With Data Services
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying
the advantages of data services. This section will help
you learn the basics of using your data services,
including managing your user name, launching a data
connection, and navigating the Web with your device.
Your User Name
When you buy your device and sign up for service,
you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is
typically based on your name and a number, followed
by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John
Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have
jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use data services, your user name is
submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint
Network. Your user name is automatically programmed
into your device. You don’t have to enter it.
3B. Web and Data Services
Important: Certain data services requests may require
additional time to process. While your device is
loading the requested service, the touchscreen or
QWERTY keyboard may appear unresponsive
when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow
the device some time to process your data usage
request.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your device displays the current status of your data
connection through indicators at the top of the screen.
The following symbols are used:
Your device is connected to the high-speed
Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO).
When the arrows are animated, your device is
transferring data (for example, when you are
opening a Web page); when the triangles are
gray, your device is connected to the network
but is not currently transferring data (for
example, when you are viewing a Web page
that is completely open). In either state, you can
receive incoming calls.
Note: Connected to the Internet can be done via either your
Mobile network or via Wi-Fi (configured via the
Settings > Wireless controls page).
Tip: To change the default launch page to a current page,
press and tap More > Settings > Set home page.

Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for
certain types of wireless local area networks (WLAN).
These device types use an 802.11 wireless
specification to transmit and receive wireless data.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing
and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These
WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as within most
Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring knowledge of the
Router name and password).

Important Safety Information
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access
to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check
with your local service provider for details.
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.
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 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.
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.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint
Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2
on your phone.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

182 4A. Important Safety Information
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:
䡲Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䡲Below deck on boats.
䡲Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䡲Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
䡲Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
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 Sprint invoice.
Please Note the Following Information When Using Your
Handset
1. WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY
䡲The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic
and could break if your handset is dropped or if it
receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken
or cracked as this could cause injury to you.
2. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH
SCREEN HANDSET
䡲If your handset has a touchscreen display, please note
that a touchscreen responds best to a light touch from
the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using
excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the
touchscreen may damage the tempered glass surface
and void the warranty. For more information, please refer
to the “4B. Manufacturer’s Warranty” on page 188.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains
your phone or accessories.
SPH-M900.book Page 182 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:27 AM
4A. Important Safety Information 183
Important Safety Information
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-M900 has an
M4 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.)
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to
interference noise from wireless phones and should have
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
䢇Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
䢇Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
䢇Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.
Should you experience interference or find the quality of
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. (A restocking
Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing
aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,
there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi)
used in this phone that have not been tested for use with
hearing aids.

may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and
www.accesswireless.org.
Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference:
䢇Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time intervals.
1. Press > and touch Settings > Sound &
display > Brightness, or Screen timeout.
2. Touch the minimum time interval setting.
䢇Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from
your hearing aid.
䢇Move the phone around to find the point with least
interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
䢇Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-
approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they’re genuine and safe.
䢇In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
䢇Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
䢇Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䢇Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䢇The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
䢇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.
䢇Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
䡲Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
䡲More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Important Safety Information
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can
be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion 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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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
watt to 0.2 watt 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).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or
Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 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 website
at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than
SPH-M900.book Page 185 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:27 AM
186 4A. Important Safety Information
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in
SAR values between different model phones do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-M900 are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.68 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.16 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.61 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.88 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines.
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM900.
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
