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. Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number). Note: Unless your PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher perminute rate for roaming calls. 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: PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas. 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. 37 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. 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. Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation. Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming When you are roaming off the Nationwide PCS Network, you may not receive onphone 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. 38 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 M to 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.

This section outlines performance and safety 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). 72 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. Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty. 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. Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. 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 73 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. Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. 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) 74 Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest PCS 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. Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery. Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice FCC Notice This 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 (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections 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 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 75 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 FCC Radiofrequency Emission This 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. 76
