Ion battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1. Place the battery in the opening at a
45-degree angle with the metal contacts at
the bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down until it’s in place and
the battery release latch snaps.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for
another reason, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t
lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Press up the battery release latch and hold
the battery, then pull it up and out at a
45-degree angle.
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’ll lose everything 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
gets too low, the battery icon blinks and
the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use the approved manufacturer
approved Desktop Charger, AC Adapter Charger
or
Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge your
battery.
Using the Desktop Charger or
Adapter Charger
When you’re ready to charge your battery, it is
vital that you use only Sanyo-approved
desktop chargers and AC adapter chargers. To
use your charger:
1.
Plug one end of the AC adapter into the
charger holder and the other end into the
electrical outlet.
2. Either insert the battery alone into the
back slot or the phone with the battery
installed into the front slot.
A red light on the desktop charger lets you
know the battery is charging.
A green light on the desktop charger lets
you know the battery is fully charged.
It generally takes about three hours to fully
recharge a completely rundown battery. With
the Sanyo approved Lilon battery, it is okay to
recharge the battery before it becomes
completely run down.
Warning:
Using the wrong
battery charger could
cause damage to
your phone and void
the warranty.

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
TM
works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows
you to roam on analog cellular and digital networks where Sprint PCS has
implemented roaming agreements.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.

Tip:
Remember, when
you’re using your
phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial
numbers
using 11 digits
(1 + area code +
number).
Tip:
You will pay a higher
per-minute rate for
roaming calls.
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
cellular or digital mode. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where
you’re using your phone.

Understanding
Roaming
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA
networks, your call quality will be similar to the
quality you receive when making calls while on
the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, however, all of your
calls are still private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks,
you will experience the same quality provided by
analog cellular carriers today. Although certain
calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web,
may be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls. You will experience a few
differences including:
You are more likely to experience static,
cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard on
the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with
conventional analog cellular
services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when
you use your phone for analog cellular
roaming.
Tip:
If you’re on a call
when you leave the
Sprint PCS Network
and enter an area
where roaming is
available (whether
CDMA or analog
cellular), 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 up Voicemail
The first thing you’ll want to do after
activating your phone is to set up voicemail.
See Section 1 page 12 for instructions.
Message Types
There are three types of messaging functions
available on your Sprint PCS Phone.
Voicemail, Numeric Paging and Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Messaging allow you to receive
messages as long as your phone has enough
memory locations to store them.
Voicemail captures calls automatically when
you can’t answer your phone or it is turned
off. The voicemail system sends a notification
to your phone letting you know when you
have new voice messages waiting in your
voicemail box.
Numeric paging allows a caller to enter a
phone number into your voicemail box
instead of a voice message. The phone number
appears on your phone as a numeric page.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Messaging
(also known as Text Messaging) allows
messages to appear as short alphanumeric
messages on your phone’s display screen. You
must purchase the Sprint PCS Wireless Web
option in order to receive text messages on
your Sprint PCS Phone.
Tip:
When you are roaming
off the Sprint PCS
Network, you may not
receive notification of
new voicemail messages.
It is recommended that
you periodically check
your voicemail by dialing
1 + area code + your
Sprint PCS Phone Number.
Note:
Sprint PCS
Wireless Web services
may not be
available in
certain Affiliate areas.

Select the wireless web messaging link.
3. Using a messaging software (TAP 1.5

Knowing When you Have Messages
There are several ways your Sprint PCS
Phone alerts you of new messages:

Messages Alerts in Sounds menu is set to
Off).
By displaying at the top of your screen.
By flashing a red LED light.
Receiving Messages
You will receive voicemail even if you have
not set up your voicemail.
In other words, people can leave messages
they just would not hear a greeting.

Avoid recording in a noisy place.
Speak clearly and naturally.

record the name.
Avoid very long or very short names.
Names with two to five syllables are
recommended.
If a voice dial entry does not properly

where and how it works at optimum efficiency. This section outlines
performance and safety guidelines that ensure you experience the full
quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to give you.

146 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Getting the Most Out of your
Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
Calling quality of your phone is always at it’s
best when the antenna is fully raised. If
you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.
The quality of each call you make or receive
depends on the signal strength in your area.
Your phone informs you of the current
strength by displaying a number of bars next
to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal.
Understanding Power Save Feature
If you try to use your Sprint PCS Phone in an
area where the signal is not available, the
Power Save feature automatically activates to
conserve battery power if you’re unable to pick
up a signal for 15 minutes. If your phone is on,
it periodically rechecks service availability or
you can check yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message displays on the screen.
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. This power can
range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.

Safety Information:
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before
using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with
its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326
adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously
set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied or an approved
antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair
call quality, damage the phone, or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and the
back of the phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted. All belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories used by this
device must not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do
not meet these requirements may not comply
with FCC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.
Note: For more information about RF
exposure, please visit the FCC website at
www

Tip:
For the best care of
your phone, only
Sprint PCS authorized
personnel should
service your phone and
its accessories. Faulty
service may void the
warranty.
Maintaining your Phone’s
Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to
operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Extend the antenna fully for best reception.
Hold the phone with the antenna up and
over your shoulder.
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the
phone antenna.
Retract the phone antenna when you’re
not on a call.
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 PCS Center or call
Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
Keep magnetic cards, magnetic tapes,
floppy disks, etc. away from your
Sprint PCS Phone, or their memory may
be erased by magnetism emitted from the
speakers of the phone.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving is
illegal in some states. Even where it’s not, it
can divert your attention from driving.
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.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.

Tip:
Always turn off the
phone in healthcare
facilities and request
permission before
using the phone
near
medical equipment.
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
and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
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 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 engine
Restricting Children’s Access to
your Phone
Your Sprint 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.

154 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
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 104º F (0º C to 40º 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.

Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines 155
Tip:
For safety, do not
handle a damaged or
leaking Lilon battery.
16
Performance
and Safety
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 131º F (-20º C to 55º C)
More than one month:
-4º F to 95º F (-20º C to 35º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Lilon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your Lilon batteries,
contact your nearest Sanyo 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.
