Call Log (History) is a list of the phone numbers (or  
Contacts entries) for calls you placed, accepted, or  
missed. Call log makes redialing a number fast and  
easy. It is continually updated as your Galaxy Prevail™  
automatically adds new numbers to the beginning of  
the list and removes the oldest entries from the bottom  
of the list.  
From within the Call log screen, each entry contains the  
phone number (if it is available) and Contacts entry  
name (if the number is in your Contacts).  
Dialed: Indicates all outgoing calls  
made from your device.

Important Connection Information  
ⅷ To avoid loss of data, DO NOT remove the USB  
cable, the microSD card, or the battery while  
accessing or transferring files.  
ⅷ DO NOT use your computer to change or edit folder  
or file names on the microSD card, and do not  
attempt to transfer large amounts of data from the  
computer to the microSD card. Doing so may cause  
the microSD card to fail.  
ⅷ DO NOT turn off or restart your computer, or put it  
into standby mode, while using a mass storage  
device. Doing so will result in loss or damage of data.  
ⅷ The internal microSD card can only be mounted for  
use by either the device or a connected computer.  
Prior to accessing the card using a different method,  
unmount it from its current device (phone or  
computer-USB).  
Important: The microSD card can only share a connection  
with one device at a time, either your Galaxy  
Prevail™ or your computer (via its USB  
connection), not both. You can not browse the  
contents of the card via your device if they are  
currently being browsed via your PC.

Paired Devices  
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish  
trusted connections between your Galaxy Prevail™ and  
another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they  
share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections  
while bypassing the discovery and authentication  
process.

Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur  
automatically if the paired device goes out of range of  
your Galaxy Prevail™ or it is powered off.  
To delete a paired Galaxy Prevail™ device (unpair):  
Deleting a device from your list removes its “connection  
record” and upon reconnection would require that you  
re-enter all the previous pairing information.  
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time  
process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices  
will continue to recognize their partnership and  
exchange information without having to re-enter a  
passcode again.  
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.  
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold  
the name of the previously paired device (from the  
bottom of the page). This opens the connected  
device’s menu options.  
To disconnect a paired Galaxy Prevail™ device:  
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection  
between the device and your Galaxy Prevail™, but  
retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point  
when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no  
need to setup the connection information again.

Following Safety Guidelines  
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized  
personnel should service your phone and accessories.  
Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your  
warranty.  
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.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to  
Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems 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.  
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.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the phone near  
medical equipment.  
Note: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your  
local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You  
can also dial # 2 2 2 on your phone.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable  
liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your  
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
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.  
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 Sprint invoice.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Please Note the Following Information When Using  
Your Handset  
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.  
1. WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY  
Ⅲ The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic  
and could break if your handset is dropped or if it  
receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken  
or cracked as this could cause injury to you.  
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:  
2. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH  
SCREEN HANDSET  
Ⅲ Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Ⅲ Below deck on boats.  
Ⅲ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Ⅲ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Ⅲ If your handset has a touchscreen display, please note  
that a touchscreen responds best to a light touch from  
the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a metallic  
object when pressing on the touchscreen may damage  
the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For  
more information, please refer to the “4B. Manufacturer’s  
Warranty” on page 190.  
Ⅲ Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid  
Device  
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309  
modified the exception of wireless mobile devices under the  
Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require  
digital wireless mobile devices be compatible with hearing  
aids.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to  
telecommunications services for persons with hearing  
disabilities. While some wireless mobile devices are used near  
some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),  
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some  
hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and mobile devices also vary in the amount  
of interference they generate.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.  
Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system  
for wireless mobile devices to assist hearing device users find  
mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing  
devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile  
devices that are rated have the rating on their box or a label  
located on the box. Your Samsung Galaxy Prevail™ has an M4  
rating.  
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
4A. Important Safety

185  
 
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
ⅷ Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
ⅷ Recently there have been some public reports of wireless  
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It  
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve  
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with  
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is  
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting  
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved  
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-  
approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s  
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also  
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the  
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure  
they’re genuine and safe.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. (A restocking  
fee may be applied to exchanges. Visit www.sprint.com/returns  
for details.) More information about hearing aid compatibility  
may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and  
www.accesswireless.org.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience  
With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
ⅷ Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time intervals.  
ⅷ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
1. Press  
or Dim.  
and touch Settings > Display > Brightness,  
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
ⅷ Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
ⅷ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
ⅷ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
ⅷ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
2. Touch the minimum time interval setting.  
ⅷ Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.

ⅷ The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
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  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
a long period of time.  
ⅷ 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.  
ⅷ Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long  
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Ⅲ Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Ⅲ More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can  
be burned.  
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  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your

Body-Worn Operation  
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.  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or  
Sprint-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-Sprint-approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-M820 are:  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 0.84 W/Kg, Body: 0.56 W/Kg  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website  
at www.fcc.gov.  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
Guidelines.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM820.  
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the  
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.  
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.
