TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a

telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or

hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to

communicate via a telephone.

Your phone is compatible with selected TTY devices. Please

check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that

it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY

device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your

phone’s Headset Jack. If this cable was not provided with your

TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase

the connector cable.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer

Service SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay

Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then

provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode On or Off:

1. From the Standby mode, press .

2. Press .

3. Highlight Save Phone# and press .

4. Highlight Accessibility and press .

5. Select TTY On or TTY Off and press .

ᮣPress (right softkey) at the step 5 above for instruction.

Note: In TTY Mode, your phone will display .

Note: If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices

connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other

means including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog

cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be

corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs)

rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered

appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This

matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless

industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

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 and PCS Voice Command, will

be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access

voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

ᮣYou are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out,

and dropped calls.

ᮣSome features which are standard on the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,

PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

ᮣThough callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to

the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can

periodically check your voicemail for new messages by

dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press

when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at the

prompt.

ᮣThere are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

ᮣYour battery needs recharging sooner when you use your

phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel

warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Part of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is learning how

the phone works and how to care for it. This section outlines

performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the

basic features of your phone’s operation.

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

4A: Safety 195

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. If it’s inoperable, return

it to a SprintStore or call PCS Customer Service SolutionsSM

for service.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint 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.

When using your phone in the car:

ᮣGet to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial

and redial.

ᮣWhen available, use a hands-free device.

ᮣPosition your phone within easy reach.

ᮣLet the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if

necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous

weather conditions.

ᮣDo not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

4A: Safety 197

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 or you

can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power

Save feature is activated, a message displays 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 0.01µ

watts to 0.464 watts in digital mode.

Knowing Radiofrequency 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 a hybrid standard consisting of the existing

ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the

National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements

(NCRP).

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

196 4A: Safety

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.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, 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’re in any area that has a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your

phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could

cause an explosion or a 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 PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to

play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,

damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

4A: Safety 199

ᮣDial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls

when stationary or before pulling into traffic.

ᮣDo not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that

may divert your attention from the road.

ᮣDial to report serious emergencies. It’s

free from your wireless phone.

ᮣUse your phone to help others in emergencies.

ᮣCall roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless

number when necessary.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store.

You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by

dialing on your PCS Phone.

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.

Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

198 4A: Safety

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the

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 phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.

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.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

ᮣReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

ᮣIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.

ᮣConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

ᮣConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

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 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-8100 are:

AMPS mode (Part 22)- Head:1.42W/kg;Body-worn:0.79W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24)- Head:1.34W/kg;Body-worn:1.33W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.

FCC ID number: [manufacturer needs to provide #]. More

information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following

FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.

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

SAR complianec for body-worn operating configuration is based

on a separation distance of 1.8 cm between the back of the unit

and the body of the user. End-users must be informed of the body-

worn operating requirements for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Belt clips or holsters may not contain metallic components.

For more information about RF exposure,please visit the FCC

website at www.fcc.gov.
