Section 1A: Setting Up Service
Getting Started With Sprint Service
Determining If Your Phone Is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
ready to use. If you received your phone in the mail, it
probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please use another phone to
call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold E to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock (right softkey).
To select a softkey, press the button directly below the text
appearing on the bottom left and right of your display screen.
Softkey actions change according to the screen you are
viewing.
▫Tip:च
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits
of either your Social Security number or phone number, or try
entering 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call
Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.

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 Sprint service, please call Sprint
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing 771S. Then provide the
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

911 Emergency Calling
WARNING!
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 the PSAP
community are currently working to resolve this.

Using Data Roam Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the
works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows
you to roam other networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
73
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
Tip:
Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay
a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note:
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
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 National Network. However,
depending on the network available where you are roaming,
certain features may not be available.
If you’re on a call when you leave the network, your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think
Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to
reconnect to the network.
Note:

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National 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.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the network, voicemail notification will
resume as normal.

Viewing History
You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of
the last 20 phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls you
placed, accepted, or missed. Call History makes redialing a
number fast and easy. It is continually updated as new
numbers are added to the beginning of the list and the oldest
entries are removed from the bottom of the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and
Contacts entry name (if the phone number is in your
Contacts). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may
only appear once on the list.
Call History only records calls that occur while the phone is
turned on. If a call is received while your phone is turned off,
it will not be included in Call History.

Now that you know the basics that make it easier to stay in
touch with people and information, you’re ready to explore your
phone’s more advanced features. This section explains how to
use your phone’s Contacts and helps you make the most of
your time when you are trying to connect with the important
people in your life.
Section 2F: Using Contacts
85
About Contacts
Your phone can store up to 1000 numbers or electronic
addresses. Individual Contacts entries can contain up to five
separate phone numbers, an email address, and a Web
address.
The total capacity (numbers and electronic addresses) is
1000, meaning that if each Contacts entry has only one
number or electronic address, you have space for 1000
Contacts entries.
Each number or electronic address you add to an individual
entry reduces the remaining amount of available entries. For
example, if you create 200 entries, each with three numbers
for a total of 600 numbers, you only have space remaining for
400 entries with one number (or electronic address) each.
Each Contacts entry may contain:
ⅷ
A name — The name of the person or organization whose
contact information is stored in the entry. It is not
required; you can create and store Contacts entries
without a name.
ⅷ
ⅷ
A number or electronic address — Each Contacts entry
must contain a number or an electronic address. This may
be a phone number, email address, or Web address.
A speed dial number — When you store a phone number,
it is assigned a speed dial number. (See “Changing Speed
Dial Numbers” on page 91 to change an entry's default
speed dial number.)
ⅷ
A picture — You can assign a picture to display whenever
you receive a call from the Contacts entry.
86
Section 2F: Using Contacts
ⅷ
ⅷ
A ringer — You can assign a specific ringer to each entry.
This is the sound your phone makes when you receive a
call from any of the phone numbers stored in the entry.
A memo — You can write a short note to yourself
regarding the entry.

Using Call <Name or #>
You dial phone numbers simply by saying “Call.” To place calls
to names stored in your Contacts, say “Call” followed by the
name and the type of number (Home, Work, Mobile, etc.). To
make phone calls to numbers not saved to your Contacts,
simply say “Call” followed by a valid phone number.

If a name has only one number, or if you know the name but
are not sure which number to call, say “Call” followed by the
name only. For example, say “Call John.” If the name is
recognized and there is only one number for the name, your
phone immediately places the call. If there are multiple
numbers stored in the entry, the phone prompts you with a
list of options.

Multimedia FAQs
1. Will I know if I'm receiving an incoming call while I'm
viewing or listening to an audio clip?
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you
are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the
voicemail icon will be displayed on the screen.
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it
will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing
of the available clips, with each clip's length displayed
after the clip's title. In general, a clip's duration will
depend on the story or content being provided, and can
be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.
3. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I
have my phone?
As long as you are on the Sprint National Network, you will
have access to the audio and video clips.
Sprint TV Service does not work while roaming off of the
network or where service is unavailable.
Note:
4. Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?
It depends on the content provider. Some of the
channels available through Sprint TV stream live
content. Others provide media on demand with video
and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day,
but that are not “live.”
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I
know it has been purchased?
The next time you access your media player's channel
listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding
number will be displayed in the My Channels section.
154
Section 2K: Using the Built-in Media Player
6. Why are some channels already preloaded into the
My Channels section?
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels are
automatically displayed in the My Channels section of
your channel listings.
7. If I don't subscribe to a Sprint Power Vision Plan, will I still be
able to view the multimedia clips?
Yes. For service access charges, please consult your
Sprint Service Plan or visit www.sprint.com.
8. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll
through all the channels in my channel listings?
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You
can simply press this number to quickly access the clips
located within that channel.
When entering the specific channel number, channels 01—
09 do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access
channel “07,” just press 7.
Tip:
9. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the media player is loading the data
necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when there
is heavy traffic on the network.
10. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?
To cancel your Sprint TV Service, visit www.sprint.com and
sign on to Sprint with your account number and
password. From this page, you have the ability to cancel
the service or any Available Channels to which you
subscribe.
Section 2K: Using the Built-in Media Player

11. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?
Yes. While you are playing a clip, you can use the up and
down navigation buttons to surf to a different channel.
A small pop-up screen will be displayed that tells you
which channel you are watching as well as other
channels that you have access to. Use the navigation
buttons to scroll through the different channels. Once
you find a channel that you want to watch, scroll to it

194
Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Hearing Aid Compatibility
A number of Sprint Nextel phones have been tested for hearing
aid compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with
certain hearing aids, users may detect a noise which can interfere
with the effectiveness of the hearing aid.
Some hearing aids are more “immune” than others to this
interference noise, and phones can also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was
developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both
mobile phone and hearing aids to determine usability rating
categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing
aid users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing
aid. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with
hearing aids. Phones that have been rated have a label with the
rating(s) located on the box, and at www.motorola.com/iden.
These ratings are not guarantees of compatibility. Results will
vary depending on the user's hearing aid and individual type and
degree of hearing loss. If a hearing aid is particularly vulnerable
to interference, even a phone with a higher rating may still cause
unacceptable noise levels in the hearing aid. Trying out the phone
with your hearing aid is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
“M” Rating: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing aids than unrated phones. (M4 is the
“better” or higher of the two ratings.) On those models with an
extendable antenna, this rating is determined only with the
antenna extended.
Section 4A: Important Safety Information
195
“T” Rating: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are
likely to be more usable with a hearing aid's telecoil (“T Switch”
or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the “better”
or higher of the two ratings.) On those models with a telecoil
mode setting, this rating is determined only with the phone so
set. For setting instructions, see “Features for the Hearing
Impaired” in the section entitled “Advanced Calling Features”.
Note that not all hearing aids have telecoils in them.
Hearing aids may also be measured for immunity to interference
from wireless phones and may have ratings similar to wireless
phones. Ask your hearing health care professional for the rating
of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your
phone to determine the estimated usability:
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
ⅷ
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you use an M3 phone with a M3 hearing aid you will have
a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This methodology
applies equally for T ratings.
Should you experience interference or find the quality of service
unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to
the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day Risk-
Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within 30 days of
purchase for a full refund.
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found
at: www.motorola.com/accessibility, www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov,
and www.hearingloss.org/learn/cellphonetech.asp

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory
authorities is 1.6 W/kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S.
and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and
Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by
1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.

Section 4A: Important Safety Information
each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 1.23 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.14 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
regulatory requirements).1
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements
to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site:
or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association
(CWTA) Web site:

accepted Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure, and
measurement uncertainty range for this product.

Information From the World Health
Organization
WHO Information Present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If you are concerned, you may want to limit your
own or your children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls
or by using hands-free devices to keep mobile phones away from
your head and body.

Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call SmartSM
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use
of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available
and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while
driving, remember the following tips:
ⅷ
Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to
place your call without taking your attention off the road.
When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with
one of the many Motorola Original™ handsfree accessories
available today.
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access
your mobile device without removing your eyes from the
road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
204
Section 4A: Important Safety Information
ⅷ
ⅷ
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
medical emergencies.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
