Using the Battery  
Battery Capacity  
Your 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 2.5 hours of continuous digital talk time  
(1.3 hours in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous digital  
standby time (12 hours in analog).  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When  
there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds  
an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers down.  
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 PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to  
install it:  
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone.  
2. Press down until the latch snaps into place.  
Removing the Battery  
To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these  
easy steps:  
1. So that no stored messages or numbers are lost, power off your phone  
by pressing and holding the  
key.  
2. Push the battery release latch up completely. The battery will  
separate slightly from the phone.  
3. Lift the battery at a 45-degree angle away from the phone.

Charging the Battery  
Your 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 is  
getting too low, the battery icon (  
warning tone.  
) blinks and t he phone sounds a  
Always use a Sprint-approved travel adapter or vehicle power adapter to  
charge your battery.  
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your  
phone and void the warranty.  
It is vital that you use only the Sprint-approved Travel Adapter  
specifically designed for your phone. Use of unauthorized accessories  
could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.  
To use the travel adapter provided with your phone:  
1. Plug the adapter in the wall and the other end into the power  
interface adapter on the bottom of the phone.  
A red  
key and an animated battery icon on the phone lets you  
know the battery is charging.  
It takes about 4 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.

Experience  
In This Section  
Understanding Roaming  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard  
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the  
R
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new [dual band/tri-mode] PCS  
Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows  
you to roam on [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 Roaming  
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart  
indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.  
Roaming Indicator  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide  
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 Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to  
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.  
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 PCS Vision, 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 calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products  
and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.  
Section 2: Understanding Your Phone  
2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 37  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
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 should  
periodically check your voicemail box for new messages by dialing  
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Enter your pass code and  
press  
.
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.  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the  
Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your phone  
accepts.  
Set Mode  
Choose one of the three different settings (Automatic, Analog, and  
Sprint PCS) to control your roaming experience:  
1. Press  
2. Press  
3. Press  
for Main Menu.  
for Roaming.  
for Set Mode.  
4. Press the navigation key up or down to select Automatic, Analog, or  
Sprint PCS.  
5. Press  
to Save.

Roaming Settings  
Automatic: This setting seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is  
unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.  
Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming  
system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is  
turned on.  
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using  
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 Nationwide PCS Network.  
To Turn the Call Guard Feature On or Off:  
1. Press  
2. Press  
3. Press  
for Main Menu.  
for Roaming.  
for Call Guard. Wait briefly until a message prompt  
displays and then disappears from the display screen.  
4. Press the navigation key up or down to select On or Off.  
5. Press  
to Save.  
If On, an extra step is required to make or take roaming calls.  
If Off, no extra step is required to make or take roaming calls.  
To Place Roaming Calls With Call Guard On:  
1. From the main menu, dial the eleven-digit number. (You can also  
initiate a call from the Internal Phone Book or Call History) and  
press  
.
2. A message is displayed indicating that roaming rate applies. Press  
to place the call.

Analog setting.

Voice Recognition  
Voice recognition allows you to launch commonly used functions by  
saying a name when opening your phone, or when pressing and holding  
a button. These functions are:  
Digit Dial - allows you to speak the 7 or 11 digits of the phone  
number.  
Name Dial - allows you dial a phone number stored in the phone  
book by saying the entry name.  
Voice Memo - allows you to record a voice memo.  
Phone Book - allows you to view an entry in the phone book by  
saying the entry name.  
Planner - automatically launches the planner.  
Settings - automatically launches the Settings menu.  
Digit Dial  
Digit Dialing allows you use your Sprint PCS Phone to dial valid North  
American phone numbers simply by speaking each digit.  
Tips for digit dialing  
Digit Dialing works best in quieter environments  
Say each digit clearly. However, there is no need to pause between  
digits.  
The phone recognizes only the digits one, two, three, four, five, six,  
seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. Therefore, you must say each digit  
in the number. The phone can not recognize numbers such as "one  
eight hundred" for "1-800." Say "one-eight-zero-zero" instead.  
The phone only recognizes valid North American phone numbers.  
If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are  
digit dialing, you may improve recognition accuracy by adapting the  
system to your voice. See the section "Adapting Digit Dialing" for  
details.  
To place a call using digit dialing  
1. Press and hold down  
for a few seconds. The phone prompts  
you for a command.  
2. Say Digit Dial. The phone prompts you to say the number.

3. Pronouncing each digit distinctly, without pausing between digits.  
4. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by the correct  
number, say "Yes." You can also select the correct number from  
those displayed on the screen by pressing  
on the correct  
number. The phone will then dial the number.  
5. If the phone asks you, "Did You Say," followed by an incorrect  
number, say "No." If there are other alternatives, the phone will  
prompt you with the next one. You can also use the navigation key  
up and down buttons to select the correct number from the choice  
list, and then press  
to dial.  
In some cases, the phone might ask you to repeat a number. Make sure  
that the number is a valid North American phone number and then say  
the number again. If the number isn't valid, or if the phone still doesn't  
understand the number on the second try, it will not place a call.  
Adapting Digit Dialing  
If the phone does not recognize numbers correctly when you are using  
digit dialing, you can usually improve your results by adapting digit  
dialing to your voice. Adaptation involves recording several digit  
sequences to teach the system your voice. The recording process takes  
about 3 minutes.  
Tips for adapting digit dialing  
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.  
Speak clearly, and say each digit distinctly.  
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if  
there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, re-record that  
sequence.  
To adapt digit dialing to your voice  
1. Press  
2. Press  
3. Press  
for Voice Tools.  
for Voice Dial.  
for Adapt Digits.

5. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal tone of  
voice. The phone plays your recording and asks if the recording  
sounds “OK”.  
6. If the recording sounds good (no mistakes, and no background  
noises), say "Yes." If you need to re-record the digits to fix any  
problems, say "No." The phone then prompts you to say the digits  
again. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.  
7. After confirming that the recording sounds good, repeat the  
recording process with the next set of digits. After six sets of digits, the  
phone will ask you whether you want to do more adaptation. Answer  
"Yes."  
8. Repeat steps 4-8 for another six sets of digits. After the sixth set, the  
phone indicates that adaptation is complete.

Getting Started With PCS Voice Command  
With PCS Voice Command:  
You can store all your contact’s phone numbers, so you can simply  
say the name of the person you want to call.  
There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize voicemail  
passwords or try to dial while you’re driving.  
You can call anyone in your address book – even if you don’t  
remember their phone number.  
It’s Easy to Get Started  
Just dial  
from your PCS Phone to activate the service and

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 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.  
Knowing Radio frequency 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 hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard  
and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation  
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and  
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
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 re-dial.  
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  
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.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 87  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number  
when necessary.  
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.  
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  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 88  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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,  
just 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.

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 travel adapters. 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 Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon 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 LiIon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the  
FCC Notice  
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.  
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  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case,  
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn  
accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters)  
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Web site at

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 [SPH-N270] are:  
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.16 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.18 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 0.523 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.814 W/kg  
FCC Radio frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID  
number: [A3LSPHN270]. More information on the phone's SAR can be  
found from the following FCC Web site:
