Antenna
The antenna on your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™
provides maximum reception without the inconvenience of
extending or retracting it.
WARNING -- CHOKING HAZARD -- ANTENNA MAY
BECOME DISLODGED
Attempting to remove or repeated twisting of the
antenna will loosen the materials securing it into
place and may reduce the child restraint nature of the
antenna. Once the antenna is loosened or removed,
only an authorized Sprint PCS Representative can restore
the antenna’s original integrity. Do not attempt to remove
or twist the antenna.
Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. The number of bars in the
Signal Strength icon informs you of the current strength. The
more bars, the stronger the signal.

Getting to Know Your Phone
Battery Capacity
Your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint 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
3.25 hours of continuous digital talk time (60 minutes in
analog) or approximately 130 hours of continuous digital
standby time (15 hours in analog).
Note: Long backlight settings affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there is about one minute of talk time left, the
phone sounds an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers
down.
If the battery’s charge is completely run down, it takes 2 to 3
hours to fully recharge. It is not necessary to let the battery
completely run down before recharging.
To charge your batteries, use only Sprint PCS-approved charging
accessories.
Using the AC Adapter
To charge the battery, plug the AC Adapter into a standard wall
outlet and connect it to the phone via the I/O Connector on the
bottom of the phone. Alternatively, you can place the phone in
the charging cradle provided with your phone and connect the
AC Adapter to the back of the cradle.
The Battery Charge Status icon flashes during charging. When
the battery is fully charged, the battery icon stops flashing.

Placing a Call
When the phone is turned on, check the Signal Strength icon to
see if you are in a Sprint PCS Service Area or authorized
PCS CDMA or analog cellular provider’s service area.
1. Open the Flip.
2. Enter the phone number, highlight Calland press
.
Tip! When dialing long distance, it is not necessary to dial a
“1” before the area code.
3. When you are finished with your call, highlight End Call
and press
. If the phone is in Active Flip Mode (see
page 75), closing the Flip will also end the call.
Roaming With Your Sprint PCS Phone™
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ is dual-band, which means you can use
it to make and receive calls in many places.
•
•
In any city where Sprint PCS provides service.
On other PCS CDMA networks and conventional analog
cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented
roaming agreements.
Note: When using your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ in
Analog Mode, the handset may feel warm due to the higher transmission
power requirements. This behavior is normal for the analog operation.

Using Your Phone
When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, it’s
called roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where agreements are
in place with PCS CDMA or conventional analog cellular providers,
you will pay the roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where
they apply. (See “Display Icons” on page 7 for network indication
icons.) Always dial using 10 digits (area code + number) when
calling from outside your Sprint PCS Home Service Area.
(See “Roaming” on page 49.)
Note: In areas where roaming agreements are not in place, you may still
be able to make (but not receive) calls using a credit card. This is called
manual roaming.
Setting Your Phone’s Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ allows you to control your ability to
roam. (See “Set Mode” on page 49.)
Calling Experience
When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your
calling experience and call quality will be quite similar to what you
experience when making calls within the Sprint PCS Network.
Although certain calling features may not be available, your phone
calls are still private and secure.
When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your
experience will be different. Cellular roaming will be similar to the
quality provided by conventional analog cellular carriers today.
Although you will still have the convenience of being able to make
and receive calls, here are some differences you can expect:
•
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out
and dropped calls.

User Guide
•
•
•
Some calling features (such as Caller ID and voicemail
message indicator) that are standard within the
Sprint PCS Network may not be available.
You will experience the same security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional
analog cellular services today.
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for
cellular roaming than when you use it on a PCS CDMA
network.
If you’re on your phone and leave a Sprint PCS Service Area, your
call will be dropped. When reentering a Sprint PCS Service Area
while on a roaming call, turn your phone off and on again to
acquire Sprint PCS Service.
If you need customer service for any reason while using your
phone outside the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, just dial 611
from your Sprint PCS Phone. However, because you’re outside the
Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local service provider’s
customer service instead of Sprint PCS Customer Care. To be sure
that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care, dial 1-888-211-4PCS.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals. Your phone transmits in the frequency
range of 1851.25 MHz to 1908.75 MHz and receives in the
frequency range of 1931.25 MHz to 1988.75 MHz in digital
mode and transmits in the frequency range of 869.04 MHz to
893.97 MHz and receives in the frequency range of 824.04 MHz
to 848.97 MHz in analog mode. The power level can reach a
maximum of 200mW. When your phone is in use, the system
handling your call controls the power level.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Be sure to turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may
cause interference or danger.

Phone Use While Driving
Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your
attention from the road and is illegal in some states. Remember:
SAFETY comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
•
•
Focus on driving, not talking.
Use a Hands-Free Car Kit (optional accessory).
WARNING -- FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Turn Your Phone Off Before Boarding An Aircraft
You should turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, US Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crewmember to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using
your phone while the plane is in the air.
Radio Frequency Safety
In 1991-1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institutes (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
84

Important Safety and Warranty Information
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 a hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National
Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
The design of your phone complies with these updated standards.
Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further than the
updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of your
calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electrical equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS phones
may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from
external RF signals. You should 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.
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a hand
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should always keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals

or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
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.
Blasting Areas
Turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. It is rare,
but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks
could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in

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.
Restricting Children’s Access To Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy and should not be played with by
children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your telephone bills.
WARNING -- CHOKING HAZARD -- ANTENNA MAY
BECOME DISLODGED
Attempting to remove or repeated twisting of the
antenna will loosen the materials securing it into place
and may reduce the child restraint nature of the
antenna. Once the antenna is loosened or removed,
only an authorized Sprint PCS Representative can restore
the antenna’s original integrity. Do not attempt to remove
or twist the antenna.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your dual-band Sprint PCS
Touchpoint Phone™ not expressly approved in this document
