1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Push the battery release latch up and hold the battery.
3. Pull the battery up and out at a 45-degree angle.
Charging the Battery
Your PCS Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too
low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were
currently working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the
battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display
screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon appears and the
phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.
Warning: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and
void the warranty.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery
before it runs out of power.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use
affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience
In This Section
¡Understanding Roaming
¡Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
¡Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
Nationwide PCS Network. Your new XXX Phone SCP-4930 by Sanyo works
anywhere on the Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog
and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you
manage your roaming experience.
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide PCS
Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you
are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the text
Digital Roam, and on an analog system, with the text Analog Roam.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be
similar 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 an
area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an
area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to
reconnect 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).
38
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by
other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as PCS Vision PCS Ready
Link, and PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive
calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to PCS Service, you may notice some
of 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 not
receive 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 with
conventional analog services today.
¡Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it
more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When 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 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.
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 resume
as normal.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your PCS Vision Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the
Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is
normal for analog operation.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide PCS Network and enter an
area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If
your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide PCS Network.
39
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band phone to control your roaming
experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Press Mto access the main menu.
2. Select Settings and press M.
3. Select Roaming and press M.
4. Select Set Mode and press M.
5. Select an option from the following and press M.
¡PCS Only allows you to access the Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.
¡Automatic seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is unavailable, the phone
searches for an alternate system.
¡Roaming Only seeks both an analog & digital system.
The previous setting (PCS Only or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone
is turned on.
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Your phone has three ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide
PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon, Call Guard, and Data Roam Guard. Call
Guard and Data Roam Guard make it easy to manage your roaming charges by
requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call and access to
the data service. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls
while on the Nationwide PCS Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press Mto access the main menu.
2. Select Settings and press M.
3. Select Roaming and press M.
4. Select Call Guard and press M.
5. Select On or Off and press M.

guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.
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 signal strength by displaying a number of
bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save
feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks
service availability; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the
Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal
is found, your phone returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it
receives and transmits radiofrequency (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 PCS 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.
¡Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.
¡Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
¡Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
¡Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
¡Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone
does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free
device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
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 radiofrequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
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

before using the phone near medical equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service
your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting
area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
¡Fueling areas such as gas stations.
¡Below deck on boats.
¡Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
¡Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
¡Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s
engine.
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 PCS
Invoice.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
¡Use only 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.
¡In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from
32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C).
¡Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as
the bathroom.
¡Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
¡Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
¡Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
¡The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
¡It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.
It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
¡Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best
to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: 4°F to 140°F (–20°C to 60°C)
More than one month: 4°F to 113°F (–20°C to 45°C)
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

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 void the phone warranty if said
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on
your body, use the supplied or 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-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 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 than 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
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

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 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/kg
