Introduction.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sprint PCS Phone. This

And although it comes standard with many exciting features, like
voicemail, an internal phone book and Call Waiting, it’s still so
easy to use. Just follow the simple steps described inside.
Of course, you can always call us if you need any help. Just press
TALK
from your Sprint PCS Phone and we’ll be
happy to help. (In Southern California, press

display screen. In short, they tell you what’s going on. Just look
below.

Measures your current signal strength. The more
lines there are, the stronger the signal.
This means the phone is outside service areas.
When this is displayed, you cannot use your phone.
Tells you a call is in progress.
If the icon is not displayed, you are in the Sprint
PCS Network. If it is displayed (it may or may not
be flashing), you are on another service providers
network.
Indicates when you have messages waiting.
Indicate when the vibrate feature is set to ON.
Indicates when using the phone in the analog
system.
Shows the level of your battery charge. The more
black you see, the more power you have left. When
the charge is low, this icon blinks and an alert tone
is sounded.
15
Using the battery.
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery pack.
Remember to fully charge your battery as soon as the charge
becomes low in order to maximize your talk time and standby
time.
Installing and removing the battery.
The battery pack snaps easily onto the back of the phone (bottom
end first) for quick installation and removal. Make sure to turn the
power off before removing the battery. Otherwise, you could lose
stored numbers and messages.
Charging the battery.
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged just
by checking the upper-right corner of your phone’s display. When
the battery charge level gets low, the battery icon will blink
and the phone will sound a tone. If the battery level gets too low,
the phone will turn off automatically. Three alert tones will sound
just before the phone turns itself off. If this happens, unfortunately,
you’ll lose whatever you were just doing. So watch that indicator
and make sure your level is okay.
16
To charge your battery, you should use the standard AC adapter, or
the optional dual port desktop charger or rapid charging cigarette
lighter adapter. Using unauthorized ones could cause damage. (The
AC adapter is described in the next section. For more information
on the desktop charger and rapid charging cigarette lighter adapter,
see the product user guide for each.)
Charging with the AC adapter.
Only use SANYO-approved adapters, model number SCP-01ADT,
with your Sprint PCS Phone. Using an unauthorized one could
cause damage.
1. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
2. Plug the other end into the bottom of your Sprint PCS Phone,
with the battery attached.
Charging a completely discharged standard Lithium Ion battery
takes up to four hours.
If your phone is turned on, the red light will go on while charging
and icon on display will blink when charge is completed
If your phone is turned off, the red light will go on
and “battery is charging” will show on display while charging, and
icon on display will blink when charge is completed.
17
Turning your phone on and off.
When you’re ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on, check to see
that the charged battery has been installed on the back of the phone
or that you have external power (meaning the rapid charging
cigarette lighter adapter, hands-free car kit or AC adapter) with the
battery pack installed. Then, simply press POWER for one second.
The red light flashes briefly and the banner is displayed, which
means you’re ready to make a call.
To turn your phone off, press POWER for one second until “Powering
Off” is displayed. Then release POWER . When your phone is turned
off, nothing is displayed on the screen.
Note: If POWER is pressed for less than one second, the phone will
not turn on or turn off. This keeps your phone from being turned
on or turned off accidentally.
Standby status.
Standby is the most basic state of the phone. The phone goes into
standby status soon after you turn it on or whenever you press
END
. When your phone is in standby status, you will typically see
the banner (that’s the message that’s displayed when you turn on
your phone). You’ll also have access to the phone’s directory and
features.
18
Power Save mode.
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Power Save feature that will
be activated automatically if your phone hasn’t been able to find a
signal after 15 minutes of searching. While this feature is active,
the phone’s battery charge is conserved. The phone will automati-
cally recheck for a signal periodically. To manually force the
phone to recheck for a signal, press any key. A message on the
display will let you know when the phone is operating in Power
Save mode.
19
Basic functions.
Making a call.
Whenever you make a call, follow these simple steps:
1. First, check to see that your phone is on. If you see the display
indicators on the screen, that means the power is on.
2. Enter the phone number you’re calling.
3. Press
TALK
.
4. When you’re finished with your call, just press
END
to discon-
nect.
You can also make calls from your internal phone book (see page
35) or from your recent calls list (see page 40).
Correcting dialing mistakes.
If you make a mistake while dialing a phone number, press
CLR
to erase one digit at a time. You can delete the entire number at
once by pressing
CLR
and holding it down for at least one second.
20
Answering calls.
Your phone must be turned on before you can receive calls. When
your phone rings (“Incoming Call” display and the Red Light
flash.), press
TALK
to answer. You can also answer by pressing any
key (other than POWER ,
MUTE
or
END
). Before you do this, you have
to set Any Key Answer function on(See page 56).
To disconnect the call when you’re through, press
END
.
You can customize your options for answering calls using the Any
Key Answer feature on the Features menu (press after
accessing the menu to select Features). This allows you to press
any key (except POWER ,
MUTE
or
END
) to answer a call.
When the phone rings, pressing
END
or
MUTE
stops only ringing.
Where you can use your phone.
Your Sprint PCS Phone is dual band, which means you can use it
to make and receive calls in many places:
In any city where Sprint PCS provides service
On select PCS CDMA networks (like the Sprint PCS Network)
from other providers
On conventional analog cellular networks
When you use your phone in any Sprint PCS Service Area outside
your home service area, it’s called traveling. You are charged a
simple, flat rate for all travel calls you make and receive. When
you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, it’s called
21
roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where Sprint PCS has agree-
ments in place with other PCS CDMA service providers, you will
be charged the travel rate. If you’re roaming in areas where Sprint
PCS has agreements in place with conventional analog cellular
providers, you will pay airtime plus long-distance charges, where
they apply.
Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have roaming agree-
ments in place, you will still be able to make emergency calls to
911 and calls billed to a credit card.
What you’ll see.
You should always check your phone’s display because it will let
you know when you’re outside the Sprint PCS Network and
whether your phone is not operating in analog only mode or analog
roam mode. The chart below indicates what you will see, depend-
ing on where you’re using your phone.
Regardless of whether you’re using your phone on or off the Sprint
PCS Network, you should always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 +
area code + number) when you make calls outside your Sprint PCS
Home Service AreaSM. (This does not necessarily mean you’ll be
charged a long-distance rate.)

Calling experience.
When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your
calling experience will be quite similar to what you experience
when making calls from within the Sprint PCS Network. Although
certain calling features may not be available, your phone calls are
still private and secure, and in general, your call quality should be
similar to what you experience with the Sprint PCS Network.
When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your
experience will be much different. Cellular roaming will be of the
same quality provided by cellular carriers today. Although you will
still have the convenience of being able to make and receive calls,
here are some differences you can expect:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out
and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard within the Sprint PCS
Network will be unavailable.
You will experience the same security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional
cellular services today.
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for cellular
roaming than when you use it on a CDMA network.
23
If you are on the phone when you leave a Sprint PCS Service Area
and enter an area where roaming is available (whether PCS
CDMA or analog cellular), your call will be dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS provides service,
turn your phone off and then on again to speed acquisition of the
Sprint PCS Network.
If you need customer service for any reason while using your
phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, just dial
TALK
from your Sprint PCS Phone. However, because
you’re outside the Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local
service providers customer service instead of Sprint PCS Cus-
tomer Care. To be sure that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care,
dial 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
Using Caller ID.
This feature tells you who is calling you on your Sprint PCS Phone
by displaying their number when the phone rings. If a callers
name and number are stored in your internal phone book, the
corresponding name is also displayed. If you call someone who
has this feature, your Sprint PCS Phone Number will be displayed
on their phone.
To block your Sprint PCS Number from being displayed for a
particular outgoing call, just follow these steps:
1. Press .
2. Dial the outgoing phone number and press
TALK
.
24
To block your Sprint PCS Phone. Number from being displayed on
all of your outgoing calls, just call Sprint PCS Customer Care by
pressing
TALK
(in Southern California, press
TALK
). Once you have permanently blocked
your number, you can release the block for a particular call. To do
that, follow these steps:
1. Press .
2. Dial the phone number and press
TALK
.
Responding to Call Waiting.
If you’re in the middle of a call and you hear a beep, that means
you have another call coming in. If you don’t answer the call
within 10 seconds, you will be reminded of the incoming call with
a second beep. To put the first caller on hold and answer the
second call, press
TALK
. Press
TALK
again to switch back to the
first call.
If you don’t want to be interrupted during a particular call, you can
temporarily disable Call Waiting. Just press
before dialing the number. Once you end that call, Call Waiting
will be reactivated automatically. If you don’t want to be inter-
rupted during any of your calls, before making any more, press
TALK
(in Southern California, press
TALK
) to call Sprint PCS Customer Care and have
Call Waiting deactivated.
25
Using Three-Way Calling.
Three-Way Calling lets you talk with two different people at the
same time. Simply dial your first number and press
TALK
. When
you have connected, press
TALK
to put the first caller on hold.
Next, dial the second number and press
TALK
. When you’re
connected, press
TALK
again to begin your three-way call. When
you use this feature, you will be charged normal airtime rates for
each of the two calls you make.
Using Call Forwarding.
With Call Forwarding, you can have all of your incoming calls
forwarded to another phone number – even if your Sprint PCS
Phone is turned off. When Call Forwarding is activated, you can
still make calls from your Sprint PCS Phone. To activate Call
Forwarding, follow these steps:
1. Press .
2. Enter the area code and seven-digit phone number to which
your calls should be forwarded.
3. Then press
TALK
. You will hear a tone that confirms you’ve
activated Call Forwarding.
To deactivate Call Forwarding, press
TALK
. Once again, you’ll hear a tone to confirm the deactivation.
26
Redialing calls.
To redial the last call you made from your Sprint PCS Phone, press
TALK
. When the number is displayed, press
TALK
again. You also
can redial any of your last 10 calls using your recent calls list (see
page 40).
Getting your own phone number.
You probably don’t call your own Sprint PCS Phone Number very
often, so you may forget it. If you do, here’s an easy way to get it:
Turn your phone on and your number will be displayed briefly.
If you miss it, press
INFO
to see it again anytime your phone is
either in standby or talk mode.
27
Adjusting volume.
The volume keys
VOL
VOL
of your Sprint PCS Phone perform
three critical functions. They let you:
Adjust the earpiece volume during a call.
Adjust the ringer volume or even turn it off when you’re in
standby mode.
Scroll through menus.
Locking the keypad.
To avoid accidental key presses, you can lock the keypad. How-
ever, you’ll still receive incoming calls and messages. (This feature
can be activated only when the phone is in standby mode.)
Any Key Answer does not work in this mode.
To lock your keypad, press under [MENU] and (Key
gurad).
To unlock your keypad, press and hold
END
.
28
Emergency dialing.
You can place calls to 911, or one of the other three emergency
numbers that are in your emergency number list, even if your
phone is locked or restricted. (For information on locking or
restricting your phone, see pages 53 and 54.) As long as you’re
within a service area (check your signal strength indicator), these
numbers can be dialed.
Calling 911.
1. Dial .
2. Press
TALK
.
Note: Even if your account is restricted, you can still dial 911
(as long as you’re within a service area) but no other emergency

31
Setting up your voicemail.
To set up your voicemail, press and hold for at least one
second. Then enter “SPRINT” (777468) as your temporary pass
code. We suggest you do this soon after you activate your Sprint
PCS Account.
After entering that code, the voicemail system will prompt you to
do these things:
Create your own personal pass code. Make sure you pick a
number that you will remember.
Create the greeting that people will hear when they call you.
Record your name announcement.
Choose whether to activate One-Touch Access.
After you’ve set up your voicemail, it will automatically record
messages whenever someone calls and you don’t answer.
Whenever you need to call your voicemail from another phone,
dial your Sprint PCS Phone Number. When you hear your greet-
ing, press and enter your pass code.
32
Finding out you have a message.
Your Sprint PCS Phone alerts you when you have new voicemail
messages in several ways: by displaying a message on the screen,
by sounding five short beeps (if the ringer is turned on), by
flashing the red light at the top of the phone, and by displaying
at the top of your screen. If a message is marked “Urgent,”
will flash. You can have up to 30 new or saved messages and
each can be stored for up to 30 days.
In addition to VOICE MAIL, there is [PAGE] and [TEXT].
[PAGE] provides notification that there has been an incoming call.
[TEXT] is a text message. Whichever the case, when a call has
been received from a person who is registered in the phone book,
the phone number and name will be displayed on the display. Press
under [READ] to displays detailed information related to the
message (and in the case of [TEXT], displays the contents of the
text message). Press under [CALL] (or
TALK
) to make a call to
person sending a message.
If you press when your Sprint PCS Phone is in standby mode,
you can check whether or not there is a message.
Your phone will continue to display until you erase your new
message or you read page or texts.
33
Internal phone book,
Call history and Scratch pad.
You get two types of phone books with your Sprint PCS Phone:
the Primary Phone Book and the Recent Call History. To make the
most of them, you really need to understand all the basic features
and functions of your new phone.
Understanding your phone’s memory.
Your Sprint PCS Phone has 99 phone book memory locations –
that is, 99 places to store phone numbers. You can store up to 32
digits within 01 through 94 memory locations and up to 54 digits
within 95 through 99 memory locations, and use up to 12 charac-
ters to give each entry a name.
Saving and storing a phone number.
When adding numbers to your Primary Phone Book, keep in mind
that memory locations 1 through 9 should be used for One-Touch
Dialing or your most commonly used phone numbers.
Secret numbers can be stored only in memory locations 90 through
99.
To save numbers, simply follow the directions below.
1. Enter the phone number that you want to save. We suggest that
you save numbers using 10 digits (area code + number).
If you enter a hard or timed pause, you can entire more than 33
digits.
34
2. Press under [SAVE].
3. Enter the name that goes with the number (up to 12 characters).
Press the key of the first letter in the name, and continue until
you’ve spelled the whole name. Pressing a key repeatedly will
change the letter or number in the flashing cursor position on
the screen. (For example, press once for “A.” Press
twice for “B.”) When you have the correct letter or
number in position on the screen, wait two seconds for the
cursor to advance automatically one space. To add a space, wait
for the cursor to advance and then press . Press
CLR
or

Usage guidelines:
All about performance
and safety.
Keeping tabs on signal strength.
First of all, the voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always
be at its best when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a
building, reception may be better near a window.
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone will inform 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. (See page
14 for an illustration of the signal strength indicators.)
Understanding Power Save mode.
If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where the signal is
too weak, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to
conserve battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a
signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically
recheck service availability, or you can do so yourself manually by
pressing any key. A message will be displayed on the screen any
time Power Save has been activated.
59
Understanding how your phone operates.
Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency
range of 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz. When your phone is in use, the
system handling your call controls the power level.
Radio frequency safety.
In 1991–1992, 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 a hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protec-
tion and Measurements (NCRP).
The design of the Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further
than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration
of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient
manner.
60
Maintaining your phone’s peak performance.
To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and
satisfactory service – you should follow these rules:
For best reception, extend the antenna fully.
Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
If your phone does get wet, turn the power off immediately and
remove the battery pack. If it is inoperable, you should return it to
a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Only authorized personnel should service your phone and its
accessories. Faulty service may invalidate the warranty.
61
Protecting your battery.
For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines:
Only use the SANYO-approved battery packs (model numbers
SCP-01LBPS and SCP-01LBPL) and AC adapter, cigarette
lighter adapter, and desktop charger (model number SCP-
01DAT for AC adapter; model number SCP-01CLA for
cigarette lighter adapter; model number SCP-01DTC for
desktop charger). These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate
your warranty and may cause damage as well.
To avoid damage, charge the battery pack only in temperatures
that range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery pack by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts at the bottom of the battery pack clean.
Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.
You may need to recharge the battery pack if it has not been
used for a long period of time.
62
Replace the battery pack when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it
will need to be replaced.
Do not store the battery pack in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. Follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: -4˚F to 131˚F (-20˚C to 55˚C)
More than one month: -4˚F to 95˚F (-20˚C to 35˚C)
Using your phone while driving.
Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your
attention from the road. Besides that, it is illegal in some states.
Remember, safety comes first.
When using your Sprint PCS Phone in the car:
Focus on driving, not talking.
Use your hands-free car kit.
For details, refer to the user guide which comes with the hands-
free car kit.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use One-Touch
Dialing, Speed Dial and Any Key Answer modes.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE.
63
Disposal of Lithium Ion batteries.
You can return your unwanted Lithium Ion batteries to your
nearest SANYO Service Center. For the SANYO Service Center
nearest you, call 1-800-XXX-XXXX (U.S. only).
Note: In some areas, the disposal of Lithium Ion batteries in
household or business trash may be prohibited.
Following safety guidelines.
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always
follow any special regulations in a given area, and turn your phone
off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interfer-
ence or danger.
Using your phone near other electronic devices.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio fre-
quency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS telephones
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. You should also check with the manufacturer regarding
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
64
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.
Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turn off your phone before flying.
You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any
aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
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 interfer-
ence, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is
in the air.
Restricting children’s access to your phone.
Your PCS phone is not a toy, and should not be played with by
children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.

Turn off your phone in dangerous areas.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off
your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
station; 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; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accesso-
ries.
66
Cautions.
Any changes or modifications to your Sprint PCS 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
other type will invalidate the warranty.
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 telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care.
And last, but certainly not least, 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.
