TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint  
A TTY (also known as a 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.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with  
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital  
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a  
special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable  
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device  
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer  
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by  
first dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with  
this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means  
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and  
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when  
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some  
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY  
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the  
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are  
currently working to resolve this.

to roam on other networks where we’ve implemented roaming  
agreements with other carriers.

PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks  
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and  
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls  
on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to  
accesscertainfeatures, suchasPCSVision.

RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar  
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some  
features, suchasPCSVisionandPCSVoiceCommand, maybe  
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail.

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and

and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are  
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can  
periodicallycheckyourvoicemailfornewmessagesbydialing

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)  
that exist with conventional analog services today.

foranalogroaming.  
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.

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal  
strengthinyourarea. Yourphoneinformsyouof thecurrentsignal  
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.

UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s  
turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals.  
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the  
power level. This power can range from 0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in  
digital mode.  
KnowingRadiofrequencySafety  
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  
updatingANSI’s1982standardforsafetylevelswithrespectto  
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).

any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas

UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency  
(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.

TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible  
interferencewithaircraftsystems, theU.S. FederalAviation  
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.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
Toavoidinterferingwithblastingoperations, turnoff yourphone  
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.  
Fuelorchemicaltransferorstoragefacilities.  
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.  
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoyourPhone  
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.

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

SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones  
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  
torememberisthateachphonemeetsstrictfederalguidelines.
