Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If youare roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the textDigital Roam, and on an analog system, with the text Analog Roam.Roaming on Other Digital NetworksWhen you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will besimilar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Nationwide PCS Network.However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide PCS Network and enter anarea where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in anarea where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again toreconnect to the Nationwide PCS Network.Note: PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.Note: Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide PCS Network,always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
38Roaming on Analog NetworksWhen you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided byother analog carriers today. Although some features, such as PCS Vision PCS ReadyLink, and PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receivecalls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to PCS Service, you may notice someof the following differences when using analog service:¡You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.¡Some features which are standard on the enhanced Nationwide PCS Network,such as call waiting, PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link and direct international dialing,may not be available.¡Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you may notreceive notification until you return to the Nationwide PCS Network. (See“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 38.)¡There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist withconventional analog services today.¡Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge itmore often when you use your phone for analog roaming.Checking for Voicemail Messages While RoamingWhen you are roaming off the Nationwide PCS Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but youwill need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roamingservice area for an extended period of time.To check your voicemail while roaming:1. Dial 1+area code+your PCS Phone number.2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *.3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.When you return to the Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail notification will resumeas normal.Setting Your Phone’s Roam ModeYour PCS Vision Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using theRoaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This isnormal for analog operation.Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide PCS Network and enter anarea where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. Ifyour call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn yourphone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide PCS Network.

This section outlines performance and safetyguidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.Getting the Most Out of Your ReceptionKeeping Tabs on Signal StrengthThe quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in yourarea. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number ofbars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.Understanding the Power Save Feature If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Savefeature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecksservice availability; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime thePower Save feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signalis found, your phone returns to standby mode. Understanding How Your Phone OperatesYour phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, itreceives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, thesystem handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.Knowing Radio Frequency SafetyThe design of your PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP standards describedbelow.In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agenciesand industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body ofresearch. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted thisupdated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standardconsisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by theNational Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset onyour body, use the supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-wornaccessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-approvedaccessories 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 PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed inthe head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring andcalculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phonemodels are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when inoperation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to theFCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base stationantenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that eachphone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variationin safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial marginNote: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
76of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones donot mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kgare considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR values of the SCP-4930 are:AMPS mode (Part 22):Head: 1.01 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.516 W/kg PCS mode (Part 24):Head: 0.374 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.15 W/kgFCC Radiofrequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: AEZSCP-4930. More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
