Before Making Your First Direct  
Connect Call  
When the Direct Connect feature is active,  
both the On/Off and Net Guard features are  
disabled (Settings > More... > Data Services).  
Important  
For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it  
must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer  
Service representative. See See “Activating Your  
If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates  
that Direct Connect is no longer active on your  
account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with your  
Direct Connect functionality.  
Note  
Register and Activate Direct Connect:  
1. Confirm that the Direct Connect feature is currently  
activated on your account.

2. Press S >Settings/Tools > Settings >Direct

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for  
your Direct Connect Number:  
This validates your Direct Connect service with  
the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.  
Separate numbers (DC Only) — Your Direct Connect  
number is a unique number (not your wireless  
number). It will be made up of three sets of digits  
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).

A single number (Mobile+DC) — Your Direct Connect  
number is the same as your wireless number (for  
example, 555-555-1234).

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers  
Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks  
(*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect  
numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to  
tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-  
digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens  
(for example, 555*555*1234).  
Tip  
If the person you are calling has a separate number  
for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks  
(*) in the number. If you are saving the number in  
your Contacts, choose DC Only for the phone type.  
If the person you are calling has a single number for  
both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that  
10-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls.  
You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the  
number. If you are saving this number in your  
contacts, choose Mobile+DC for the phone type.  
One way to easily ensure that your contact has your  
correct number is to call them so that they can save  
your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their  
contact information. Remember you will need all  
digits of the number to make a successful call. Also,  
if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for  
Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks  
(*)between sets of numbers  
To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect Number:  
Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has  
a Mobile+DC or a DC Only icon, it is a valid  
Direct Connect number.  
– or –  
Select a contact and press S. “DC capable” will  
appear below the valid Direct Connect number.  
32  
If calling a Nextel customer, the Direct Connect  
number may have three parts with an asterisk  
between each part (for example: 444*4444*444).  
When dialing or saving this type of number,  
always include the asterisks *.

Transferring Files Between Your  
Phone and Your PC  
For video, the DCIM folder.  
You can transfer files such as music, pictures, and  
video between your phone and Bluetooth-enabled PC  
or similar device. You do this using the File Transfer  
Profile (FTP) in your phone and the Bluetooth FTP  
client software found in most Bluetooth-enabled PCs.  
No external FTP client is necessary.  
Bluetooth Profiles  
All of the Bluetooth settings you configure are stored in  
your phone’s Bluetooth user profile. Different profiles  
can be used for specific Bluetooth functions.  
File Transfer Profile (FTP) — This profile functions as a  
wireless data cable allowing the browsing and  
transfer of files using the Bluetooth client software  
available on most Bluetooth-enables PCs. Files such  
as music, pictures, and videos can be transferred  
between the PC and the phone’s internal memory or  
the microSD card inserted in the phone  
Before transferring files, your phone must be paired  
with a PC. (For information on pairing, see “Paired  
Devices” on page 125.) After pairing, you can browse  
and transfer folders and files between your PC and  
your phone’s internal memory or the microSD card  
inserted in your phone.  
The types of files you can transfer in this way are stored  
in the following locations:  
Headset Profile — This profile functions as a wireless  
ear jack. When an incoming call is received, the  
ringer can be heard through the headset instead of  
through the handset. The call can then be received  
by pushing a button. While using the handset, you  
can use the headset instead of the phone by  
pushing a button on the headset, the same as

the volume by using the volume key on the side of  
the handset.  
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) — This profile  
functions as a wireless remote control. In  
combination with A2DP, an AVRCP enabled stereo  
headset can be used to play, pause, stop, fast  
forward or rewind music. Skipping to the next or  
previous track is also supported.  
Hands-Free Profile — This profile functions as a wireless  
car kit. Incoming calls ring to the hands-free headset  
or device. Calls can be received by pressing a button  
on the headset or device. For dialing, four functions  
are supported: recent call dial, voice dial, speed dial,  
and number dial. Increase or decrease the volume  
by using the volume key on the side of the handset.  
Dial-Up Network Profile (DUN) — This profile functions as  
a wireless data cable, connecting a PC or PDA to a  
network through your handset.  
Object Push Profile (OPP) — This profile functions as a  
mechanism to allow for the transfer of contact  
information. Contacts and your business card can be  
transferred to other Bluetooth devices using this  
profile. In addition, this profile allows the phone to  
accept and receive contact and business card  
information from other Bluetooth devices.  
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) — This profile  
functions as a wireless stereo connection to stereo  
Bluetooth headsets.

Note  
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m

program. The clip will automatically load and begin  
playing.  
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  
160  
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a  
few minutes.

able to view the multimedia clips?  
Yes. For service access charges, please consult  
your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.

you will have access to the audio and video clips.  
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the

the phone and continue playing the clip. (Likewise,  
if your phone is in “headset mode,” a phone call  
will not disconnect when you close the phone.)  
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?

Section 4  
Safety and Warranty  
Information  
Section 4A  
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Important Safety Information  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while  
using the phone.  
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.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending or sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment and void your authority to operate this  
equipment.  
This phone guide contains important operational and safety  
information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to  
read and follow the information provided in this phone  
guide may result in serious bodily injury, death or  
property damage.  
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized  
personnel should service your phone and accessories.  
Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.  
Note  
170  
     
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems 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.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
Note  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also

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,

they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or  
make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
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.  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a

device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
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.  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones 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 wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your device is currently  
rated with a M4 and a T4 rating.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,  
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or accessories.  
Note  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
172  
 
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
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.fcc.gov,  
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements  
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil  
(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is  
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press S> Settings/Tools > Settings > Main Display >  
Light Control > Backlight or Keypad Light Sensor.  
2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press OK.  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.”This is  
synonymous for T ratings.

Caring for the Environment by  
Recycling  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
This symbol on a Motorola product means the product  
should not be disposed of with household waste.  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless  
phone batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. It  
appears that many, if not all of these reports involve  
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with  
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is  
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting  
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved  
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-  
approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s  
manufacturer or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also  
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the  
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure  
they’re genuine and safe.  
Disposal of your Mobile Device and Accessories  
Please do not dispose of mobile devices or electrical  
accessories (such as chargers, headsets, or batteries) with  
your household waste. These items should be disposed of in  
accordance with the national collection and recycling schemes  
operated by your local or regional authority. Alternatively, you  
may return unwanted mobile devices and electrical  
accessories to any Motorola Approved Service Center in your  
region. Details of Motorola approved national recycling  
schemes, and further information on Motorola recycling  
activities can be found at: www.motorola.com/recycling.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
Disposal of your Mobile Device Packaging and User’s  
Guide  
Product packaging and user’s guides should only be disposed  
of in accordance with national collection and recycling  
requirements. Please contact your regional authorities for more  
details.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for  
a long period of time.  
174  
   
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of  
times before it needs replacing.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long  
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can  
be burned.  
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

variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard  
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the device are:  
Head: 0.66W/kg; Body-worn: 1.02W/kg  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
Guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web  
site at www.fcc.gov.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
FCC ID number: IHDT56JA1.  
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the  
following FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
FCC Notice  
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.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation  
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may  
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
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  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules.
