RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar  
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some  
features, such as Sprint PCSVoice Command, will be unavailable, you  
can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are  
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following  
differences when using analog service:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and  
dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the Nationwide Sprint PCS  
Network, such as call waiting, and direct international dialing, may  
not be available.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,  
you may not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide  
Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking forVoicemail MessagesWhile  
Roaming”on the next page.)  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that  
exist with conventional analog services today.  
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to  
recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.

CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you may  
not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers  
can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your  
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an  
extended period of time.

GettingtheMost Out ofYourReception  
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength  
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; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save  
feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your  
phone returns to standby mode.  
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 Sprint 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).  
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining  
safe, satisfactory service.  
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.  
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.  
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.

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.

TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
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.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
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.  
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:  
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’s engine.

UsingYourSprint PCSPhoneWith  
aHearingAidDevice  
Your Sprint PCS Phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some  
wireless phones 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 phones also vary in  
the amount of interference they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones,  
to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their  
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated will have  
an “M3”or “M4”rating on the box. Your SCP-200 by Sanyo has an M3 rating.  
Note: PhonesratedM3orM4meet FCCrequirementsandmaygeneratelessinterferencetohearing  
devicesthanphonesthat arenot labeled. M4isthebetter/higherofthetworatings.  
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone  
and hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your  
hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.  
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience  
interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings  
similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids.  
Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M”ratings of your  
hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating  
of six for “best use.”  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled  
M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid  
device. Should you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store. With the Sprint 14-day Risk-Free Guarantee you may return the  
phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

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 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 1.6W/kg are  
considered safe for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the SCP-200 are:  
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part 22):  
Head: 1.360W/kg; Body-worn: 1.050W/kg  
PCSmode(Part 24):  
Head: 1.180W/kg; Body-worn: 1.120W/kg

(The following information comes from a consumer informationWebsite jointly  
sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer Information  
onWireless Phones.”The information reproduced herein is dated July 29, 2003. For

What isradiofrequencyenergy(RF)?  
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of  
electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of the  
other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays and  
light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of waves of  
electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through space.The area  
where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.  
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas. As  
they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All electromagnetic  
waves travel at the speed of light.The major differences between the different types  
of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of the wave and the number of waves  
that pass a certain point during a set time period.The wavelength is the distance  
covered by one cycle of a wave.The frequency is the number of waves passing a given  
point in one second. For any electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by  
the frequency equals the speed of light.The frequency of an RF signal is usually  
expressed in units called hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One  
kilohertz (kHz) equals one thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals  
one million waves per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves  
per second.  
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per  
second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a subset of  
radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million waves per  
second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).  
Howisradiofrequencyenergyused?  
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio and  
TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire  
department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on  
RF energy.  
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and  
sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave frequencies, can  
heat water. Since most food has a high water content, microwaves can cook food  
quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and airplanes as well as for military  
applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use RF energy to mold plastic materials,  
glue wood products, seal leather items such as shoes and pocketbooks, and process  
food. Medical uses of RF energy include pacemaker monitoring and programming.

Howisradiofrequencyradiationmeasured?  
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is often  
convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each component. For  
example, the unit “volts per meter”(V/m) is used to measure the electric field  
strength, and the unit “amperes per meter”(A/m) is used to express the magnetic  
field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF field is by means of the  
power density. Power density is defined as power per unit area. For example, power  
density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts (one thousandth of a watt) per  
square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square  
centimeter (μW/cm2).  
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the body  
is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR.The SAR is a measure of the rate of  
absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg)  
or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).  
What biologicaleffectscanbecausedbyRFenergy?  
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the  
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.  
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma  
rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are stripped  
away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently  
damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material. Ionization only  
occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as X-rays and gamma  
rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing ionizing radiation (such as  
that associated with nuclear power plants).  
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio waves  
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and  
molecules.Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of  
non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and other forms  
of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.  
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue.This can damage tissues and increase  
body temperatures.Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly  
vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry  
away excess heat.  
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too low to  
produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some people have  
questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF energy. It is generally  
agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects actually occur and  
whether they are dangerous to people. In the meantime, standards-setting  
organizations and government agencies are continuing to monitor the latest  
scientific findings to determine whether changes in safety limits are needed to  
protect human health.  
Section 4A: Safety  
148  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety  
have worked together and in connection withWHO to monitor developments and  
identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
What levelsofRFenergyareconsideredsafe?  
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to  
radiofrequency energy.These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for both  
the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used safety  
guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.  
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are derived  
from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on  
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by  
scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia  
after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of  
RF energy.  
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).The  
ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few  
exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure levels in the lower  
and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from certain products such  
as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, theWorld Health Organization is  
working to provide a framework for international harmonization of RF safety  
standards.  
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific Absorption Rate  
(SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4W/kg) as a threshold level of exposure at which  
harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure guidelines in terms of field strength,  
power density and localized SAR were then derived from this threshold value. In  
addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP guidelines vary depending on the frequency of  
the RF exposure.This is due to the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF  
energy varies with the frequency of the RF signal.The most restrictive limits on  
whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human  
body absorbs RF energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the  
body, such as wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.  
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and  
magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at  
frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.The specific values can be found in two FCC  
bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65:  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#56;  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65.  
WhyhastheFCCadoptedguidelinesforRFexposure?  
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that generate  
RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting services in the  
U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal Government. While the FCC  
does not have the expertise to determine radiation exposure guidelines on its own, it  
Section 4A: Safety  
149  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
does have the expertise and authority to recognize and adopt technically sound  
standards promulgated by other expert agencies and organizations, and has done  
so. (Our joint efforts with the FDA in developing this website is illustrative of the kind  
of inter-agency efforts and consultation we engage in regarding this health and  
safety issue.)  
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has certain  
responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect the quality of  
the human environment.Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of transmitters and  
facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the environment. Human  
exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters is one of several  
factors that must be considered in such environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC  
revised its guidelines for RF exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as  
required by theTelecommunications Act of 1996.  
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental radio  
stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to undergo  
routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application to the FCC for  
construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal of a license. Failure  
to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines could lead to the preparation of a  
formal Environmental Assessment, possible Environmental Impact Statement and  
eventual rejection of an application.Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance  
with the FCC RF safety requirements can be found in the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65.  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65  
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are  
normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.  
These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data  
indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the conditions  
prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines under normal  
conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from compliance, but, rather,  
exclusions from routine evaluation.The FCC’s policies on RF exposure and  
categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the FCC’s Rules and  
Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].  
HowcanIobtaintheSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)valueformy  
wirelessphone?  
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate  
compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996.The relative  
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user is given by  
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above.The FCC requires wireless  
phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg) in terms  
of SAR.  
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many recently  
manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that model.The  
FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it  
may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the  
ID number, go to the followingWeb address: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page,  
Section 4A: Safety  
150  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
you will see instructions for entering the FCC ID number.Type the FCC ID number  
exactly as requested (the Grantee Code is the first three characters, the Equipment  
Product Code is the rest of the FCC ID number).Then click on “Start Search.”The  
“Grant of Equipment Authorization”for your telephone should appear. Read through  
the grant for the section on “SAR Compliance,”“Certification of Compliance with FCC  
Rules for RF Exposure”or similar language.This section should contain the value(s)  
for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.  
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the  
maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.”For  
phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000, detailed  
information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated with the grant.  
Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking on “View Exhibit.”  
Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather,  
have been documented in the form of paper records.  
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers may  
find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone  
manufacturers make SAR information available on their ownWeb sites. In addition,  
some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of wireless  
phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no guarantees of  
their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the CellularTelecommunications and  
Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide SAR information to consumers in  
the instructional materials that come with the phones.  
Dohands-freekitsforwirelessphonesreducerisksfromexposureto  
RFemissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,  
there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be  
used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.These systems reduce the  
absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF  
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is  
mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the  
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required  
to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head  
or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the  
safety limit.  
Dowirelessphoneaccessoriesthat claimtoshieldtheheadfromRF  
radiationwork?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones,  
there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from  
those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF  
absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a  
metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products  
generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free”kits, these so-called  
“shields”may interfere with proper operation of the phone.The phone may be forced  
to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In

February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold  
devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making  
false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a  
reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.  
What arewirelesstelephonebasestations?  
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular base  
stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations or  
telephone transmission towers.These base stations consist of antennas and  
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are often  
located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops.Typical heights for freestanding  
base station towers are 50-200 feet.  
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that are  
referred to as “omni-directional”antennas.These types of antennas are usually  
found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers now more  
commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations.These antennas  
consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension.The antennas are  
usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One antenna in each group  
is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the other two antennas in each  
group are used to receive signals from wireless phones.  
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the number  
of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each transmitter.  
Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical cell site using  
sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be connected to up  
to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is unlikely that all of the  
transmitters would be transmitting at the same time. When omni-directional  
antennas are used, a cellular base station could theoretically use up to 96  
transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and, once again, it is unlikely that all  
transmitters would be in operation simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS  
communications generally require fewer transmitters than those used for cellular  
radio transmissions, since PCS carriers usually have a higher density of base station  
antenna sites.  
Arewirelesstelephonebasestationssafe?  
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations  
travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation  
pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake  
centered around the antenna system.The individual pattern for a single array of  
sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of  
electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from the  
antenna.Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close  
to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level  
exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure  
levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby  
residents would be well within safety margins.  
Section 4A: Safety

Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with limits  
for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by government  
agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near cellular and  
PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed that ground-level  
exposures are typically thousands of times less than the exposure limits adopted by  
the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or  
PCS frequencies an individual would essentially have to remain in the main  
transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from  
the antenna.This is, of course, very unlikely to occur.  
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or  
on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the  
ground. However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety guidelines  
should be encountered only very close to or directly in front of the antennas. In  
addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such rooftop base stations, RF  
levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General guidelines  
on antenna installations and circumstances that might give rise to a concern about  
an facility’s conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government  
Official’s Guide toTransmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and  
Practical Guidance.This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.  
Whoregulatesexposuretoradiationfrommicrowaveovens, televisionsets  
andcomputermonitors?  
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from  
harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.  
DoestheFCCroutinelymonitorradiofrequencyradiationfromantennas?  
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the  
emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC jurisdiction.  
However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels  
in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers. If there is evidence for  
potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines for a FCC-regulated facility,  
staff from the FCC’s Office of Engineering andTechnology or the FCC Enforcement  
Bureau can conduct and investigation, and, if appropriate, perform actual  
measurements. Circumstances that could give rise to a concern about an facility’s  
conformance with FCC regulations can be found in in A Local Government Official’s  
Guide toTransmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical  
Guidance.This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety. Potential  
exposure problems should be brought to the FCC’s attention by contacting the FCC

Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the  
service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)The  
FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the case of site  
specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is collected from the  
licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the case of market based  
Section 4A: Safety

licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority to operate a radio  
communications system in a geographic area using as many facilities as are  
required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with specific location  
and operating parameters of these facilities.  
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu  
Reports”(GenMen) at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/index.hts.  
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of their  
licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file structure.These  
extracts consist of multiple, very large files.The FCC’s Office of Engineering and  
Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html. Entry points into the various  
databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and  
licensee name. For further information on the Commission’s existing databases, you  
can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected]vor 202-418-2405.  
Canlocalandstategovernmentalbodiesestablishlimitsfor  
RFexposure?  
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations  
about human exposure to RF energy in the past, theTelecommunications Act of  
1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF emissions.  
In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, “No State or local government or  
instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and  
modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental  
effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with  
the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.”Further information on  
federal authority and FCC policy is available in a fact sheet from the FCC’sWireless  
Telecommunications Bureau at www.fcc.gov/wtb.  
Dowirelessphonesposeahealthhazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using wireless phones.There is no proof, however, that wireless  
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency  
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels  
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health  
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating  
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF  
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that  
some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by  
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in  
reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.  
What isFDA’sroleconcerningthesafetyofwirelessphones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer  
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs  
or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless  
phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to

the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to  
notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that  
the hazard no longer exists.  
AlthoughtheexistingscientificdatadonotjustifyFDAregulatoryactions,FDAhasurged

that is not necessary for device function; and

information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have  
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the  
federal level.The following agencies belong to this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
NationalTelecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group  
activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States  
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and  
other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.

What kindsofphonesarethesubject ofthisupdate?  
The term “wireless phone”refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in  
antennas, often called “cell,”“mobile,”or “PCS”phones.These types of wireless  
phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of  
the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.These RF exposures are  
limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were  
developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.  
When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is  
drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing  
distance from the source.The so-called “cordless phones,”which have a base unit  
connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power  
levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC’s compliance limits.

What aretheresultsoftheresearchdonealready?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have  
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating  
the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones  
have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories.  
A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate  
the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that  
showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically  
engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to  
develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to  
RF for up to 22 hours per day.These conditions are not similar to the conditions under  
which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results  
of such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of  
wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic  
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of  
the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless  
phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-  
term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around  
three years.  
What researchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromwireless  
phonesposesahealthrisk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually  
using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime  
animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large  
numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting  
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is directly  
applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’follow-up may be needed to  
provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.This is because the  
interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time  
tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years.The interpretation of  
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure  
during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,  
such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.  
What isFDAdoingtofindout moreabout thepossiblehealtheffectsof  
wirelessphoneRF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. NationalToxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are  
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in theWorld Health Organization International  
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result  
of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that  
Section 4A: Safety  
156  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world.The  
Project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on  
EMF issues.  
FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a  
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research  
on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from  
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research  
is conducted through contracts to independent investigators.The initial research  
will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.The CRADA  
will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of  
the latest research developments around the world.  
What stepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoradiofrequencyenergyfrom  
mywirelessphone?  
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--  
it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks,  
you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy  
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the  
amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you  
could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the  
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a  
headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless  
phone connected to a remote antenna.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But  
if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use  
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless  
phone use.  
What about childrenusingwirelessphones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including  
children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children  
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and  
increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children  
be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in  
the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in  
December 2000.They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone  
causes brain tumors or other ill effects.Their recommendation to limit wireless  
phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific  
evidence that any health hazard exists.  
What about wirelessphoneinterferencewithmedicalequipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic  
devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure  
Section 4A: Safety

electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and  
defibrillators from wireless telephones.This test method is now part of a standard  
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation  
(AAMI).The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and  
many other groups, was completed in late 2000.This standard will allow  
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from  
wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and  
helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronic Engineers (IEEE).This standard specifies test methods and performance  
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no interference  
occurs when a person uses a “compatible”phone and a “compatible”hearing aid at  
the same time.This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with  
other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will  
conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.  
WhichotherfederalagencieshaveresponsibilitiesrelatedtopotentialRF  
healtheffects?  
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,  
researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.These  
agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental  
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),  
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National  
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Department of  
Defense (DOD).  
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the Center  
for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops performance  
standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products including X-ray  
equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave ovens, laser products  
and sunlamps.The CDRH established a product performance standard for  
microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF leakage from ovens. However,  
the CDRH has not adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting products.  
The FDA is, however, the lead federal health agency in monitoring the latest research  
developments and advising other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting  
products used by the public, such as cellular and PCS phones.  
The FDA’s microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an  
exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured at  
five centimeters from the oven surface).The standard also requires ovens to have  
two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating  
microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is opened.  
The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used according to the  
manufacturer’s recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More  
information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.

The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public  
exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health are  
presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an Inter-  
agency RadiofrequencyWorking Group, which coordinates RF health-related  
activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory  
responsibilities in this area.  
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous chemical  
and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for exposure of  
workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was later ruled to be  
only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an earlier RF exposure  
standard that has now been revised. At the present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or  
FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes under OSHA’s “general duty  
clause”(for more information see:http://www.osha-  
slc.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html.  
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts  
research and investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to chemical  
and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF exposure  
guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never adopted by the agency.  
NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its Physical Agents Effects Branch  
in Cincinnati,Ohio.  
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible for  
authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum. Like the  
FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered adopting guidelines  
for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government transmitters such as radar and  
military facilities.  
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological effects  
of RF energy for a number of years.This research is now conducted primarily at the  
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force Base,Texas.The DOD  
Web site for RF biological effects information is listed with other sites in conjunction  
with a question on other sources of information, below.  
Whofundsandcarriesout researchonthebiologicaleffectsof  
RFenergy?  
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in laboratories in  
the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most research has been funded  
by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive military use of RF equipment  
such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters. In addition, some federal  
agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the Environmental Protection  
Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have sponsored and  
conducted research in this area. At the present time, most of the non-military  
research on biological effects of RF energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry  
organizations. More research is being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.  
In 1996, theWorld Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF  
Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health  
concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains aWeb site that provides

extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects and research  
(www.who.ch/peh-emf).  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety  
have worked together and in connection withWHO to monitor developments and  
identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
HowdoesFCCAudit CellPhoneRF?  
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed, FCC  
will occasionally conduct “post-grant”testing to determine whether production  
versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC regulatory  
requirements.The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet FCC’s regulatory  
requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from use and to refund the  
purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may be subject to civil or  
criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a risk of injury to the user,  
FDA may also take regulatory action.The most important post-grant test, from a  
consumer’s perspective, is testing of the RF emissions of the phone. FCC measures  
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the phone, following a very rigorous testing  
protocol. As is true for nearly any scientific measurement, there is a possibility that  
the test measurement may be less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the  
phone.This difference between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is  
because test measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test  
measurement and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors.  
This inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.”When FCC  
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any  
measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is  
appropriate.This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it will  
have a sound, defensible scientific basis.  
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell phone RF,  
and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current understanding of the risks  
presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have  
not been shown to present a risk of injury to the user when the measured SAR is less  
than the safety limits set by FCC (an SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the  
maximum measurement uncertainty permitted by current measurement standards  
was added to the maximum permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well  
below any level known to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC’s approach  
with measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any  
known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.  
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute effects  
of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure to cellular  
telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many years). If new  
information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC’s measurement policy may be  
appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both agencies will work together to develop a  
mutually-acceptable approach.

monthly basis, and that this paragraph does not apply to any increases in such taxes,  
Universal Service fees or other charges.  
Activating Service. Before activation, we may check your credit and verify your  
identity. You must have and maintain satisfactory credit to receive and continue to  
receive Services. We may charge a nonrefundable activation fee, deposit, prepayment  
or other fee to establish or maintain Services.

Term Commitments. Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, our service plans  
require that you maintain service for a minimum term ("Term Service Plan"), usually  
1 or 2 years. After satisfying this minimum term, your service plan will continue on a  
month-to-month basis unless you have agreed to extend the term for additional  
period(s). Certain service, promotional or product offers may require that you agree to  
or extend aTerm Service Plan. As discussed below, we may charge you an Early  
Termination Fee if you deactivate aTerm Service Plan before the end of the term.  
UsingServices. You agree to not use our Services in an unlawful, fraudulent or abusive  
manner. You may not resell or lease Services to anyone. Sprint is not responsible for any  
opinions, advice, statements, services applications or other information provided by  
third parties and accessible through our various Services, including the internet.  
Neither Sprint , its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or  
usefulness of information that is obtained through these Services. You are responsible  
for evaluating such content. YouarealsoresponsibleforanyuseofourServices

childrenorminors.Westronglyrecommendthat youcloselymonitoranysuch

ChangingServices. Changes to Services will generally be effective at the start of your  
next full invoicing cycle. In certain instances, the changes may take place sooner, in  
which case your invoice will reflect pro-rated charges. Certain changes may be  
conditioned upon payment of an EarlyTermination Fee or certain other charges.  
TerminationofServices. Consistent with this Agreement: (a) we may terminate  
Services at any time with notice to you and, in certain instances, without notice; and (b)  
you may terminate Services at any time with prior notice to us. Except as otherwise  
provided in this Agreement, IFYOUTERMINATEYOUR TERMSERVICEPLANEARLY, OR  
WE DO SO FOR GOOD CAUSE, YOUWILL BE REQUIREDTO PAYTHE APPLICABLE EARLY  
TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATEDWITHYOUR SERVICES. We will not charge an Early  
Termination Fee for deactivations consistent with our Return Policy or for service plans  
being provided on a month-to-month basis. If any Services are terminated before the  
end of your current invoicing cycle, we will not prorate charges to the date of  
termination, and you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused Services.  
WirelessDevices, Numbers&E-mailAddresses. We did not manufacture your  
wireless device and we are not responsible for any defects or for the acts or omissions of  
the manufacturer.The only warranties on your device are any limited warranties  
extended by the manufacturer directly to you or passed on to you through us. Your  
device may not accept Services directly from any other carrier. You do not have any  
rights to any number, e-mail address or other identifier we may assign to your device or  
account; you may not modify, change or transfer any of these except as we allow or as  
allowed for by law. In certain instances, you may transfer your number from another  
carrier to us, or from us to another carrier. We do not guarantee that transfers to or from  
us will be successful. If you transfer your number away from us, the terms of this  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty

Agreement (e.g., EarlyTermination Fee, etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not  
successful, you will be responsible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase  
of your device. See our printed in-store materials or visit www.sprint.com for additional  
important information on number transfers.  
Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our mapping  
brochures and at www.sprint.com.This may include coverage on our digital network  
(the "Nationwide Sprint PCS Network") as well as coverage we make available to you  
through agreements with other carriers ("off network" or "roaming" coverage). All

buildingsinwhichyoumaybelocated), atmospheric, geographic, or  
topographicconditions.  
RoamingCoverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are  
roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless included  
as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls placed  
"manually" (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur separate and  
additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may automatically roam if  
there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network  
coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how to adjust  
phone settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming coverage  
areas (including PCSVision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).  
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges  
based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly recurring  
charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long distance, roaming,  
call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other time based usage charges  
are calculated from when your device first initiates contact with a network until the  
network connection is broken, whether or not you were actually successful in  
connecting to the intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice calls  
that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For voice calls received by your  
device, you are charged from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the  
call is terminated. You are charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in  
which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.  
Sprint PCSVisionCharges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes. Bytes  
are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock hour while  
in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you based on the  
terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be charged against an  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
allowance or on a fixed price per kilobyte. Usage charges may be rounded up to the next  
cent at monthly or other intervals. In certain instances, you may not know that your  
session has not ended. As long as your device is connected to our network, you will incur  
data usage charges. You will be charged for all data directed to the internet address (or  
"IP address") assigned to your device, regardless of who initiates the activity or whether  
your device actually receives the data.This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of  
data associated with the particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.),  
additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing this information/item on  
our network, data from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data  
associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. Based on  
these and a number of other factors (e.g., the specific application, network  
performance, etc.) data used and charged to you will vary widely, even for the same  
activity. Estimates of data usage – for example, the size of downloadable files – will not  
be accurate or a reliable predictor of actual usage. Your invoice will not separately  
identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or  
services.  
TaxesandSurcharges.We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by or  
remitted directly to federal, state, local or foreign governments including, without  
limitation, sales, gross receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If you claim any  
tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.Tax  
exemptions are not applied retroactively. We also invoice you for surcharges that we  
collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government programs such as  
number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service; these charges are not the  
taxes nor government imposed assessments.  
Invoicing&Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.  
Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are generally invoiced one invoicing  
cycle in advance. Other charges are invoiced soon after they are incurred. Most usage is  
generally applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are incurred, but in some  
instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles. You are responsible for all  
charges associated with any device activated on your account, regardless of who used  
the device. You must pay all charges by the due date on the invoice. Past dueamounts  
accruelatechargesuntilpaidat therateof5%permonthorat thehighest rate  
allowedbylawandmayresult inimmediatesuspensionofyouraccount. If you  
agree to any auto-payment option through banking or credit account, we may initiate  
payment from the account for all amounts we invoice you without additional  
authorization or notice. Based on your credit or payment history, we may require certain  
forms of guaranteed payment as a condition of maintaining Services. If we invoice you  
for amounts on behalf of a third-party, payments received are first applied to amounts  
due to us. You may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment and for  
payments denied by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked  
"paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty

DisputedCharges. Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must be raised within 60  
days of the date of the invoice. You accept all charges not disputed in this time period.  
Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice.  
Account SpendingLimit &Deposits. We may impose an account spending limit  
("ASL") on any account without notice. We will notify you of an ASL based on your credit  
or payment history and may reduce the ASL at any time with prior notice. An ASL should  
not be relied on to manage usage on your account. We may suspend an account  
without prior notice when the account balance reaches the ASL, even if the account is  
not past due. Services can be restored upon payment of an amount that brings the  
account balance below the ASL and any past due amounts. If we require a deposit for  
you to establish or maintain an account, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of  
payment for Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time with notice for  
good reason. Except as we allow, a deposit may not be used to pay any invoice or delay  
payment.The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and changes to  
the deposit amount are determined based on your credit and payment history.The rate  
of interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our  
other funds. If your account is terminated for any reason, we may without notice apply  
your deposit to any outstanding charges. We may send any remaining deposit amounts  
to your last known address within 75 days after account termination. If the funds are  
returned to us, you may claim these funds for one year from the date of return. Any  
money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit and are  
subject to a servicing fee charged against the balance. You forfeit any portion of the  
money left after the one-year period.  
OtherSprint PCSVisionTerms.You will not receive voice calls while usingVision.  
Vision is not available for use with server devices or host computer applications, other  
systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitutes for  
private lines or frame relay connections. UnlimitedVision plans/options may not be  
used with Sprint PCS phones or smart phones being used as a modem in connection  
with other equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) through use of connection kits or other  
phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth or other wireless technology. We  
may terminate services without notice for any misuse. You may have access to certain  
games, ringers, screen savers and other items on ourVision site ("Premium Services")  
that are available for an additional charge. You will be billed for Premium Service  
purchases on your Sprint PCS invoice based on the charges as specified at purchase.  
Subject to the terms of the content purchased, we may delete premium and non-  
premium items downloaded to any storage areas we may provide, including any  
pictures, games and other content. We may limit the amount of Premium Services you  
may purchase in a specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period).  
VoiceCommand. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed  
through theVoice Command feature. See our printed in-store materials or visit  
www.sprint.com for additional important information on this option.

WirelessWeb.WirelessWeb Services may be available depending on your device and  
Service plan/option.This is not aVision service. Usage is calculated on minutes used  
and generally deducts from your Service plan minutes. See our printed in-store  
materials or visit www.sprint.com for additional important information on this option.  
Lost orStolenEquipment. If your device is lost or stolen, please notify us immediately  
by calling 1-888-211-4PCS. Youareresponsibleforallchargesincurredbeforeyou  
notifyusofthelossortheft. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in  
investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.  
Messaging.You may incur charges in accessing, sending or receiving messages on your  
device. We may impose limits on the number of voicemail, text, email or other  
messages that can be retained through your account. Indicators of messages on your  
device, including mailbox icons, may not always provide an up to date indication of new  
messages and you may at times need to manually reset or clear your mailbox indicator.  
Legitimate messages may be interrupted by software aimed at prevention of SPAM or  
similar messages.  
CallerID. If you do not want people you call to receive the number assigned to your  
phone, call us at 1-888-211-4PCS for information about automatic Caller ID blocking.  
The number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 +  
Destination Number +TALK (or similar key). Caller ID blocking is not available when  
usingVision orWirelessWeb services.  
TTYAccess. ATTY (also known asTDD orText 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.TTY doesn't work with all devices.  
If you have aTTY-capable device, it may not function effectively, or at all, when  
attempting 911 calls and should not be relied on for such calls.
