Performance and Safety
Important Information About Your Phone and Service
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 radio frequency (RF) signals.
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below. To further limit RF exposure, you can limit the
duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most power-
efficient manner. 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
T608 Preliminary
40
Basics
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protections 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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or
call PCS Customer Solutions 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.
41
Basics
T608 Preliminary
ᮣDo not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
ᮣ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 911 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.
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 radio frequency
(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.
T608 Preliminary
42
Basics
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 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 phone bill.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ᮣUse only Sprint-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 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Polymer Batteries
For safe disposal options of your Lithium Polymer batteries, contact
your nearest Sprint 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 Li Polymer battery.

Agreement. Your agreement (“Agreement”) with Sprint Spectrum L.P.
and any of its Affiliates doing business as Sprint providing PCS
Services (“Services”) to you is made up of these Terms and
Conditions of Service (“Terms”) and the Service Plan that we agree to
provide you. Your “Service Plan” is described in our marketing
materials, and includes the rates and features we set for that Service
Plan. We use the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “Sprint“to refer to Sprint
Spectrum L.P. and its Affiliates doing business as Sprint in these
Terms. When you activate PCS Services or attempt to use our PCS
Services (including, without limitation, attempting to place a call on
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, or off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network when roaming, including “911” or similar calls), you
accept the Agreement.
Provision of Service. Your purchase of PCS Phones or other
equipment does not mean that we must provide Services to you. We
may decide not to provide Services to you for any lawful reason. We
T608 Preliminary
46
Basics
may request that you provide us with any information we reasonably
require to determine whether you qualify for Services. Services in
some areas are managed and provided under contract with Sprint by
independent Affiliates with access to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network. Some Services may not be available or may operate
differently in certain Affiliate markets.
Credit Verification. You must have and keep satisfactory credit to
receive and continue to receive Services. We will verify your credit
before agreeing to provide Services to you and we may verify your
credit at any time while we provide Services to you. Credit
verification may include a review of credit reports that we receive
from commercially available credit bureaus. We may require a
guarantee of payment by an individual or entity approved by us. If at
any time we determine, in our sole discretion, that payment for
Services may not be made when due, we may suspend Services to
your phone and require that you provide payment on account or a
guarantee of payment before we resume Services to your phone.
Changes to Agreement. We may change this Agreement at any time
(but see PCS Service Plan). Any changes to the Terms are effective
when we publish the revised Terms. If you use our Services or make
any payment to us on or after the effective date of the changes, you
accept the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you may
terminate Services (but see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
For purposes of the Agreement, “use” includes keeping the right to
access the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network by not terminating
Services. You may not modify the Agreement except for your
PCS Service Plan (see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
Service Plan. You may be eligible for a fixed length PCS Service Plan
(“Term Service Plan”) or for a month-to-month Service Plan (“Non-
Term Service Plan”). We determine the Service Plan for which you
qualify. We may offer non-identical Service Plans to different
individuals or entities. Services and coverage under some Service
Plans may be more limited than available under other Service Plans.

T608 Preliminary
or prepayments, or be subject to an account spending limit, before
Services are activated or maintained.
Changing Service Plans. If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you
may change to a different Service Plan for which you qualify. Any
change is effective at the start of your next full invoicing cycle unless
otherwise specified by us at the time that you place your change
order. If you change or add a different Service Plan or service feature
and the change is effective prior to the start of your next full
invoicing cycle, you will be invoiced a prorated amount. We may
require a service charge for implementing any change directed by
you as well as the Service Plan or optional service features you select.

fraudulent or abusive purpose. By requesting Services, you agree that
you will not use Services and equipment in any unlawful, fraudulent
or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease Services or equipment
to anyone. Services are available within the operating range of the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Coverage and quality of Services
may be affected by conditions within or beyond our control,
including atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions. We
do not guarantee that there will be no interruptions or delays in
Services. Your PCS Phone will not accept the services of any wireless
provider other than Sprint (but see Roaming).
Number. We assign a phone number (“Number”) to the phone or
other equipment used by you on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network. We may change the Number without compensation by
giving you prior notice. You do not own the Number. You may not
modify the Number we program into any phone or other equipment,
transfer or duplicate the Number to any phone or other equipment
T608 Preliminary
48
Basics
other than that authorized by us, or transfer the Number to any other
individual or entity.
Phone Activation Fee. You may be required to pay a non-refundable
phone activation fee when you activate a new Number, have us
switch a Number to a different phone, have your current Number
changed, we activate a different phone on your existing account or
your Service Plan says so. Details on any applicable phone activation
fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be obtained by calling PCS
Customer Service Solutions.
Charges. For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be
charged from the time you first initiate contact between your phone
or other wireless device and the network until the network
connection is broken, whether or not you are successful in
connecting with the service with which you seek to connect, even if
the connection is later broken or dropped. An exception is that you
are not charged for voice calls that are not completed. You are
charged for completed calls to your Number from the time shortly
before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated by either
party. You will be charged peak rates for the entire duration of calls
initiated during the peak time periods applicable to your Service. You
will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated
during the off-peak time periods applicable to your Service. In
addition to these usage charges, you may be charged for recurring
monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance toll
charges, other usage charges, connection fees, roaming charges,
directory assistance, call completion charges, account review and
management charges optional features you select at an extra cost,
and taxes and other regulatory-related charges. Charges for most
Services are incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes
of use rounded up to the next highest minute. You must pay, by each
invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the Number for
each phone or other equipment that our records show you activated,
no matter who actually uses or has possession of the phone or other
equipment at the time Services are provided.
PCS Vision (Third Generation) Wireless Charges. For PCS Vision
wireless services, you will be charged, on a per kilobyte basis, for
Web access, whether sent or received by your PCS Phone or other

T608 Preliminary
wireless device, rather than for airtime used, even for certain PCS
Vision voice services. As long as your PCS Phone or other wireless
device is connected to the enhanced (Third Generation) Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, you will be incurring data usage charges.
You cannot receive incoming calls while using third generation
services. Data packet usage will be measured in kilobytes and will be
rounded up to the next whole kilobyte. Kilobyte usage will be
rounded up to the next full cent. Rounding up will occur at the end
of each separate session or each clock hour (at the top of each hour),
if the session spans more than 1 clock hour. When traveling on the
Vision network, a session may be ended and new session initiated,
although no interruption to the actual data session will occur. Each
individual session will be rounded up. The number of data packets
used and charged to you will vary widely, depending upon the
specific PCS Vision wireless application or other service you use and
the amount of data used in the specific application or service. You
will be charged for data exchanges initiated by other Internet users as
well as those you initiate. Estimates of data usage, for example, the
size of downloadable files, will vary from what you actually use. You
will be charged for additional data used in transporting and routing
on the network. If you use a Premium Service (including services
provided by third parties but for which you are billed on your PCS
Invoice), you will be charged for data used in transport and routing in
addition to the charge for the Premium Service. You will be charged
for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use, including re-
sent data, and for unsuccessful attempts to reach Web sites and use
other applications and services, including those resulting from
dropped network connections. Your invoice will not separately
identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific
sites, sessions or services used. Specific additional information about
PCS Vision wireless services, including pricing, included kilobytes
and combining with other PCS Service Plans, is available in our
standard sales collateral for PCS Vision wireless Service Plans or at
www.sprintpcs.com.
PCS Voice CommandSM. PCS Voice CommandSM is an optional
service that allows you to place calls by using speech recognition
technology. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be

Basics
placed through the PCS Voice Command feature. Airtime and
applicable long distance charges for a call completed from your
Number using the PCS Voice Command feature begin when you
press or activate the TALK or similar key(s) and end when your call is
terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the PCS Voice
Command platform. If you initiate and complete another call without
leaving the PCS Voice Command platform, a separate charge for that
call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated.
Airtime and applicable long distance charges will be applied to the
entire length of a completed call initiated from PCS Voice Command.
Using Directory Assistance to input names into your PCS Voice
Command address book will incur additional charges. Details on
charges for the PCS Voice Command feature can be found in the
marketing materials for this feature, by visiting www.sprintpcs.com
or by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions.
Invoicing. Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.
Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time. Except as
otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly recurring charges
(MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for
Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the charges
accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges
occurring before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not
previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage incurred during a
prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to your Service
Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change
your PCS Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and
the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the
prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage
over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the
time the usage was incurred.
Additional Terms for Premium Services. Access to and downloading
of premium content is not included with PCS Vision services. Certain
PCS Vision services (e.g., games, ringers and screen savers) contain
mostly premium services content. Your invoice will not separately
identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific
sites, sessions or services used. You will be charged for Premium
Services at the rates and charges specified at the time of access or

download, in addition to data usage charges you will incur while
connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You will be
charged for partial and interrupted data downloads or other use,
including data that is resent, and for unsuccessful attempts to reach
Web sites and use other applications and services, including those
resulting from dropped network connections. We provide no
warranties and make no representations or claims with regard to the
third party Premium Services. In certain instances, subject to the
terms of the content purchased, we may delete premium and non-
premium items downloaded to available storage areas (e.g., your
vault) including any pictures, games and other content. We may
impose a dollar or other limit on use of Premium Services including a
limit the amount of Premium Service charges that you will be allowed
to incur in a specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time
period). We may suspend your use of Premium Services without
prior consent or notice if we have reason to suspect fraudulent or
unauthorized use of your Premium Services account, but we make no
assurances that we will suspend your account.
Payment. If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment
by credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or
consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit the
bank account for all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a
third party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your
invoicing address or of the credit card or bank account used for
payment. We reserve the right to require payment by money order,
cashier’s check or other secured form of payment. If we take action
to receive payment beyond invoicing you for charges for Services or
equipment, you must pay our costs and expenses of collection,
including attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees of any collection
agency and court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-
party service provider, payments received are first applied to
amounts due and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied
to sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We may
charge an additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument
endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for
any reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.

Basics
Late Payment Charges. Payment is past due if we do not receive it by
the due date shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid at the
rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law.
Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. If
your Service has been suspended due to non-payment, you may be
charged a reactivation fee.
Disputed Charges. You must raise any dispute that you have about
any charges invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice
or you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any dispute
by notifying PCS Customer Service Solutions. Calls to our sales or
general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed
invoice procedures are described on the invoice, you must follow
them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan. If you are on a Non-Term
Service Plan you may terminate Services at any time by giving us
notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate
Services at any time, with or without notice. If your Service has been
suspended due to non-payment, you may be charged a reactivation
fee. We may deactivate any Number before you receive notice of
termination without liability to you. Termination by either of us may
be with or without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan. If you are on a Term Service Plan (1)
your ability to terminate Services before the end of the term is
limited, (2) your ability to change to another Service Plan before the
end of the term may be limited, and may result in a termination or
activation fee, (3) you may be required to pay a termination fee, (4)
we may not terminate Services without cause before the end of the
term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause before the end of the
term, you may be required to pay a termination fee. No termination
fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service Plan within 14 days of
activation of your PCS Phone. During the term we must give each
other notice to terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the
term, you may terminate Services at any time by giving us notice and
we may subject, to this Agreement, terminate Services at any time,
with or without notice.

Basics
T608 Preliminary
Termination. General. Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or
a Term Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you
without liability (1) if you breach any provision of this Agreement
(including if you fail to pay any charges for Services), or (2) if you fail
to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise. If you
promptly cure the breach, we may, but are not obligated to,
reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges for (a) Services
provided before termination of a Number, (b) equipment, regardless
of who terminates Services and (c) a reactivation fee, if we agree to
reactivate Services to you. If Services are terminated before the end
of your current invoicing cycle (i) the monthly recurring charge is
not prorated to the date of termination, and (ii) you will not receive a
credit or refund for any unused minutes in your Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit. If we agree to provide Services to you on
an Account Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account
Spending Limit before we start Services to your Number, or as
reasonably practicable after the limit is imposed. If we require a
deposit for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending
Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment
for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services accrue against your
Account Spending Limit as they are incurred. We may charge an
initial ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL service fee, in
addition to your recurring monthly service charge. We may suspend
Services to your Number without prior notice to you when your
account balance reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services are
restored when you have paid any past due balance and pay a
specified minimum amount to reduce your account balance below
your Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount
at any time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance
and the minimum amount by any method authorized by Sprint.
Contact PCS Customer Service Solutions for information about
authorized methods of making these payments. We may charge you a
fee for calls that involve our live customer care services. If we
provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit basis, Services
and coverage may be limited in certain ways. You must pay all
charges for Services even if they exceed the amount of your Account
Spending Limit.

PCS Clear Pay Program. If we agree to provide Services to you as a
PCS Clear Pay Program customer, we may suspend Services to your
Number without prior notice to you immediately when your bill
becomes past due. Even if your bill is not past due, we may suspend
services if your unpaid usage exceeds $125 or another amount to be
determined by your past credit or usage history. If we require a
deposit for you to establish or keep Services as a PCS Clear Pay
Program customer, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of
payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Contact PCS Customer
Service Solutions for information about authorized methods of
making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls that
involve our live customer care services. If we provide Services to you
on as a PCS Clear Pay Program basis, Services and coverage may be
limited in certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services
whether or not your Services are suspended or terminated.
Deposits. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep
Services, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for
Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time to reflect
revised estimated monthly charges based upon your usage. A deposit
may not be used to pay any invoice (unless it is used to pay a final
invoice) or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of time
we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are
determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of
interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix
deposits with our other funds. If Services are terminated for any
reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your deposit toward
payment of outstanding charges and return any excess to you at your
last known address within 75 days after termination of Services. If the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the money to you and returns it to
us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of return and,
during that period, we may charge a servicing fee against the deposit
balance. Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue
interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the money left
after the one-year period.
PCS Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services. PCS Wireless Web
Services are part of the Services that can be obtained through Sprint.
PCS Wireless Web Services may not be immediately available in some

PCS Affiliate markets. Use of PCS Wireless Web Services requires a
wireless Internet-ready PCS Phone or certain other equipment (or
both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the
phone or other equipment. The Caller ID blocking feature is not
available when using PCS Wireless Web Services. For data calls
(including PCS Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that are
attempted, but not completed, you are charged for the time during
which the network attempts to connect the call. You are charged for
time spent connected to the PCS Wireless Web or Voice Portal,
including time spent browsing on the Internet or Voice Portal and
reviewing or scrolling through Internet information on-line while still
connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Not all Internet
sites can be accessed and you may receive an error message if you
attempt to access a site that cannot be accessed through PCS
Wireless Web Services. You are also charged for PCS Wireless Web
connections to review your PCS account information. PCS Wireless
Web Services and Voice Portal calls may not be available when you
are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. PCS Wireless
Web Services are not available to you if you are on a PCS Prepaid
Service Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit
basis, you may be limited in the PCS Wireless Web and Voice Portal
Services available to you. Call PCS Customer Service Solutions or visit

Other Terms Applicable to PCS Vision Usage. Use of PCS Vision
Services requires the purchase of separate third generation wireless
compatible phone or other device and is subject to any software,
memory, storage or other limitation in the phone or other
equipment. Not all applications and services work, or work the same,
on all third generation wireless phones and devices. Check the
materials accompanying your phone or device to determine which
applications and services it will support. PCS Vision Services are not
available when roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. PCS
Vision Services may not be currently available in some Affiliate areas.
Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements,
services applications or other information provided by third parties
and accessible through PCS Vision Services. Neither Sprint nor its
vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or
usefulness of information that is obtained through the PCS Vision
Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content. Use of
certain PCS Vision Services, including some messaging services, may
result in the disclosure to others of your email address and other
information about you in connection with your Internet usage. Your
accessing of, or use of, third party sites or services accessible PCS
Vision Services may require the disclosure of information about you,
subject to the policies of those sites and services.
You consent to receiving advertising, warnings, alerts and other
messages, including broadcast messages.
Your access to PCS Vision Services is controlled by a password.
Taxes and Other Regulatory-Related Charges. We invoice you for
taxes, fees and other charges levied by federal, state or local
authorities, or foreign government on Services. We also assess
charges associated with regulatory mandates and obligations, such as
Universal Service and Enhanced 911 service. If you claim any tax
exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.
Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax-
exempt document.
Roaming. Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and off of
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network are “roaming” calls. Your PCS
Phone is specifically designed and engineered to work only on the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. It works on another CDMA PCS
57
Basics
T608 Preliminary
provider’s system only when a roaming agreement is in place
between Sprint and the other providers. If your PCS Phone is a dual-
mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS provider’s system (in
addition to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network) and a wireless
analog telecommunications provider’s system only when roaming
agreements are in place between Sprint and the other providers. If
we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to
place roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card. If there is
a gap or other interruption of coverage within a PCS coverage area
that prevents connection with the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
and your dual-band phone is set to roam automatically when outside
PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a PCS coverage
area. Certain features are not available when roaming. Roaming rates
may be different from and higher than the rates you pay for calls
within your Sprint PCS Local Service Area and on the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network. When roaming, you are subject to the
limitation of liability provisions and other applicable rules imposed
by the roaming service provider.
Interruption of Service. We may give credit for a continuous
interruption of Services for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case
basis. Interruptions caused by your negligent or willful actions, or by
failure of equipment or service not provided by us, or by causes
beyond our reasonable control, do not qualify for credit. We may
provide you with an airtime credit of one minute for a call that is
disconnected because of transmission limitations caused by
atmospheric, geographic or topographic conditions and that you
redial within one minute of disconnection. You must notify us within
24 hours of the disconnection to request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment. Phones and other equipment may be
purchased and returned as provided in the purchase documents. We
are not the manufacturer of the phones or other equipment. The only
warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited
warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no liability in
connection with the phones and other equipment or for the
manufacturers' acts or omissions.
Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your phone or other equipment is lost or
stolen, you must notify us by calling PCS Customer Service Solutions.
T608 Preliminary
58
Basics
You are responsible for all charges for Services provided to the
Number for the lost or stolen equipment before you notify us of the
loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number upon
notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to provide
evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police report or sworn
statement). If the equipment is later found, we may require that you
exchange it for another phone or other equipment before we
reactivate Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as require
you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any
Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably
with us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Caller ID. If you do not want people you call to receive the Number
assigned to your phone, you must call PCS Customer Service
Solutions for information about automatic Caller ID blocking. The
Number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by
dialing *67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key), but Caller
ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on
incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving the information
from the calling party.
TTY Access. A TTY (also known as 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 by telephone. TTY doesn’t work with all PCS Phones.
If you have a PCS TTY-capable phone, it may not function effectively,
or at all, when attempting 911 calls due to the equipment or software
of the answering agency. Therefore, a TTY device should not be
relied on for 911 calls.
Pay-Per-Call Service. We will not complete calls from your Number
to 900, 976 and similar numbers for pay-per-call services.
International Calling. You may be limited in the international
destinations that you can call with Services. You should contact
PCS Customer Service Solutions for information about international
destinations that you cannot call.
Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided in this section,
our sole liability to you for any loss or damage arising out of providing

A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the
arbitration. The arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of
the American Arbitration Association or JAMS or, alternatively, may be
selected by agreement of the parties, who shall cooperate in good
faith to select the arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by, and
under the then-applicable rules of American Arbitration Association

The arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court with jurisdiction.
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim

General. If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available
under this Agreement, that failure is not a waiver of the right or
remedy for any other breach or failure by the other party. Our waiver
of any requirement in any one instance is not a general waiver of that
requirement and does not amend this Agreement. If any part of this
Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part is interpreted
consistent with Applicable Laws as nearly as possible to reflect the
original intentions of the parties and the rest of this Agreement
remains in full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive
purposes only and are not used to interpret this Agreement. You may
not assign this Agreement to any other person or entity without our
prior written approval. This Agreement (including any referenced
documents and attachments) makes up the entire agreement
between you and us and replaces all prior written or spoken
agreements, representations, promises or understandings between
you and us. The provisions of this Agreement that are contemplated
to be enforceable after the termination of this Agreement survive
termination of this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to any
applicable federal and state law (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). If
there is a conflict, the Service Plan (including any Term Service Plan)
controls over the Terms.

Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (USA) Inc. (Sony Ericsson),
provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone and original
accessories delivered with your mobile phone (hereinafter referred
to as “Product”).
Should your Product need warranty service, please return it to the
dealer from whom it was purchased, or contact your local Sony
Ericsson Customer Care Center (national rates may apply) or visit
www.SonyEricsson.com to get further information.
Our Warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson
warrants this Product to be free from defects in design, material, and
workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer, and
for a subsequent period of one (1) year.

What We Will Do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under
normal use and service, due to defects in design, materials, or
workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorized distributors or service
partners, in the country where you purchased the Product, will, at
their option, either repair or replace the Product in accordance with
the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and/or its service partners reserve the right to charge a
handling fee if a returned Product is found not to be under warranty
according to the conditions below.
Please note that your personal settings/downloads might be lost
when the Product is repaired or replaced.
Conditions
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued
to the original purchaser by an, for this Product, Sony Ericsson
authorized dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial
number*, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced.
Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this
information has been removed or changed after the original purchase
of the Product from the dealer.
2. If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or
replaced Product shall be warranted for the remaining time of the
original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of
repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the
use of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts or
components will become the property of Sony Ericsson.
3. This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to
normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, including but not limited to
use in other than the normal and customary manner, in accordance
with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and maintenance of the
Product. Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due
to accident, software or hardware modification or adjustment, acts of
God, or damage resulting from liquid.

Basics
T608 Preliminary
4. Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is
provided by a carrier independent from Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson
will not be responsible for the operation, availability, coverage,
services, or range of that system.
5. This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by
installations, modifications, or repair or opening of the Product
performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorized person.
6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been
caused by use of accessories or other peripheral devices which are
not Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended
for use with the Product.
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the
warranty.
8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON OR ITS
LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS, TO THE FULL
EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration of
implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may
not apply to you.
The warranty provided does not affect the consumer’s statutory
rights under applicable legislation in force, nor the consumer’s rights
against the dealer arising from their sales/ purchase contract.
* In some countries/regions additional information is requested. If so,
this is clearly shown on the valid proof of purchase.
Section
126 4A: Safety
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 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 T608 are:
Cellular band (Part 22):
Head: 1.43 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.40 W/kg
PCS band (Part 24):
Head: 1.46 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.00 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines. FCC ID number: PXITR-CA0802. More information
on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Web
site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
