Turning Your Phone ON and OFF

Phone ON
To turn your phone on, press for approximately two
seconds.

searching for a signal. When your phone finds a
signal, it automatically enters Standby mode ^Ö the phone's idle
state. At this point, you are ready to

begin making and receiving
calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically

activated. When a
signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In power save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for
Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned
ON).

Tip: The Power Save

feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone

is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides approximately 2.25

hours of
continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or up to 7 days of
continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog).

Note: Long backlight

settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and Browser use affect the battery's talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to charge your phone's battery and

watch your indicator to ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these
steps to

install it:

1. Press and slide the battery cover to remove it.
2. Place the battery pack in the battery cavity so it fits over the
connector.

Slide the cover back to snap it on.

Removing the Battery
To remove your

battery, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don't lose any stored
numbers or messages.

2. Press and slide the battery

cover to remove it.
3. Lift the battery pack up from the bottom to take it out.

Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable

battery. You
should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin
using your phone.

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 just 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
( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint PCS-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.

Using the AC Adapter
When you are ready to charge your battery, it

is vital that you use
only Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Chargers and AC Adapter
Chargers. To use the AC Adapter provided with your phone:

1. Turn the

phone off.
2. Insert the flat end of the AC Adapter into the slot on the bottom
of the phone (with the battery installed).

3. Plug the AC Adapter into a

AC120V outlet.
4. The LED indicator at the top of the phone will light green while
it is charging. When the phone is off, you will see a charging
animation on the display of your phone.

5. When charging is completed, the LED indicator will turn off.
6. Disconnect the AC Adapter from the outlet.
7.

Press and hold in the buttons on the flat connector of the AC
Adapter and pull the connector away from the phone.

It generally takes about 1. 5 to 2

hours to fully recharge a
completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon
battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes
completely run down.

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you're off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS Phone works anywhere on the

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog and digital networks virtually
anywhere in the U. S. where compatible wireless service is

available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features
that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone's display screen always lets you

know when you're off
the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in
analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you'll
see

depending on where you're using your phone.

Digital Roaming
Indicator Indicator

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other Digital Networks
Analog Networks

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: You will

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you're roaming on other digital networks, your call quality
and

security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. You
may not be able to access certain

calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web.

Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality

provided by other analog carriers today. Although
some calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be
unavailable, you can still make and

receive calls. You will
experience a few differences:
^A You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and

dropped calls.

Rm
Rm

Section 3 18 Understanding Roaming
24.
^A Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS
Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS

Wireless Web and
direct international dialing, are unavailable.
^A There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

cloning) that exist with

conventional analog services today.
^A Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone

for analog roaming.

Tip: If you're on a call when

you leave the Sprint PCS Nationwide 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 Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on
again to reconnect to the Sprint PCS Nationwide

Network.

Setting Your Phone's Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam.
By using the Systems menu option, you can

determine which
signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to
control your roaming

experience:

1. Press to display Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press or the softkey
under "OK".
^A Sprint PCS: This setting allows

the phone to operate only in

Sprint PCS service.
^A Automatic : This setting allows the phone to select a system

automatically.
^A Analog : This

setting allows the phone to operate on an analog

system only.

Setting an Alert When Roam

Charges Apply (Call Guard)
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when
roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your
roaming charges by reminding you when you make or receive
roaming calls. It also requires you to take additional steps before
placing or answering a

roaming call. These additional steps are
not required when you make or receive calls while on the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.

To Turn the Call Guard

Feature On or Off:
1. Press to display Call Guard.
2. Highlight On or Off.
3. To confirm, press or the softkey under "OK".
Note: Speed Dialing is not

available when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To Place Roaming Calls With Call Guard On:
1. Dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number. (You

can also
initiate a call from the Internal Phone Book or Call History.)

2. Press . The prompt is displayed.
3. Press the confirmation key to place the

call.
To Answer Incoming Roaming Calls With Call Guard On:
1. Press . The prompt is displayed.
2. Press the confirmation key to answer the call.
Remember

if the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take
extra steps to make and receive roaming calls even if you have
selected the Analog setting (see

page 19).

Tip: See "Prepending a Number from Internal Phone Book Entries" on page 56 and "Prepending a Phone Number from Call History" on page 51.

phone numbers. That's 2,500 phone
numbers ^Ö and with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS Voice
Command ^Ö you can have instant access to all of

them.
