The SIM Card
The SIM Card
Your i50sx phone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the
use of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you should have
already inserted into your new i50sx phone. The SIM card stores all your
Phonebook information and your Boost Mobile account identification
information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone
itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.
The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone,
underneath the battery. You can verify that the SIM card is in place by removing
the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.
See “Inserting/Removing the SIM Card” on page 14 for information on locating
the SIM card.
NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not
function without the SIM card.
SIM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN)
To prevent unauthorized use of your account, you can protect your SIM card by
enabling the SIM PIN security feature. With the SIM PIN enabled, you must
enter your PIN each time the phone is powered on. You can change or disable
your PIN if desired.
NOTE: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature
to prevent fraudulent use of the SIM card, your i50sx phone, and
your account.
Enabling/Disabling the PIN Security Feature
Once the PIN security feature is enabled, you are prompted to enter your PIN
each time you turn on your phone. Until a valid PIN is entered, you can use the
phone only to make emergency calls.
After the PIN is accepted, the phone registers on the network and the idle screen
displays.
When the PIN security feature is disabled, the phone can be used without
entering a PIN.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you enable the PIN security feature to protect
personal data on your SIM card. This prevents anyone from using your
phone and accessing your personal data.

you change your PIN to a 4- to 8-digit number known only to you (see
“Changing the PIN” on page 13).
Entering the SIM PIN
NOTE: Incorrectly entering your PIN three times causes the SIM
card to be blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you must
contact Boost Customer Care. For more information, see
“Unblocking the PIN” on page 14.

you enter the PIN.

The SIM Card
If you enter an incorrect PIN, the message “SIM PIN incorrect: Try again”
appears on your phone’s screen. After three consecutive incorrect attempts, the
SIM card is blocked.
Once blocked, the phone will not allow you to enter your PIN again, even after
powering the phone off and back on. If this happens, see “Unblocking the PIN”
on page 14.

Unblocking the PIN
If you forget your PIN and unsuccessfully enter it three times, access to your
phone will be blocked.
NOTE: Before you begin, obtain the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) code
from Boost Customer Care, then read and understand the PIN
unblocking sequence. When entering the key press sequence,
each key press must occur within 5 seconds of the prior key
press.
To unblock the PIN:
IMPORTANT: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code ten times,
the SIM card is permanently blocked and must be
replaced. If this happens, all data will be lost. You will
get a message to contact your service provider.
Contact Boost Customer Care for assistance. If the
SIM card is blocked, the i50sx phone only allows
outgoing Emergency calls.

Using T9 Text Input
®
Your i50sx phone has embedded software, called T9 Text Input, that makes
typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it
eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” method of text entry. As you type, you
press only one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in
its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You
may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database,
which is incorporated into the T9 database.
T9 Text Input is available when you are typing information into your phone (for
example, in the Phonebook or Datebook) and while using Boost Wireless Web
services.
T9 Text Input Entry Modes
Four text entry modes are available in T9 Text Input: Alpha, Word, Symbols,
and Numeric. When you are using T9 Text Input, an icon in the top right corner
of your phone’s display screen (next to the battery strength indicator icon)
indicates the T9 Text Input entry mode you are using:

SYM1, SYM2, SYM3, or SYM4 for Symbols mode
NUM for Numeric mode
To change text entry modes, press B under text entry mode until the desired

NOTE: The rest of the instructions for using T9 Text Input apply only to
entering text in applications other than Boost Wireless Web
applications (for example, Phonebook or Datebook).

Using Alpha Mode
To enter text (letters and numbers) while in Alpha text entry mode:
•
•
•
Press any key on the alphanumeric keypad to enter the letters and numbers
on that key. For example, to enter the letter Y, press 9 three times.
Press and hold a key to capitalize a letter, or press Q to capitalize the
highlighted letter.
Pause briefly to leave the currently displayed character in place and move
on to the next place in the text entry field.
•
•
Press P to create a space in the text entry field.
Press A under DELETE to delete one character. Press and hold A under
DELETE to delete an entire entry.
Using Word Mode
In Word mode, T9 Text Input analyzes the letters on the keypad button you
press and arranges them to create words. As you type, T9 Text Input matches
your keystrokes to words in its database and will display the most commonly
used matching word.

Phonebook Entries and Speed Dial Numbers
Your Phonebook can store multiple phone numbers to a single name. For
example, you can enter someone’s name into your Phonebook once and then
add that person’s home, office, mobile phone, and fax numbers to the name.
You can store up to seven phone numbers, a Private ID, and an IP address.
Each number stored in your Phonebook is automatically assigned a Speed Dial
number that corresponds to its location in your Phonebook. Each phone number
uses one Speed Dial location, even if it is assigned to the same name as other
phone numbers. The phone number stored in location 1 is assigned Speed Dial
number 1, the phone number stored in location 2 is assigned Speed Dial number
2, and so forth, to location 250.
NOTE:Private IDs do not have associated Speed Dial numbers.

Pause Digit Entry
When storing a number, you can program your phone so that it will not only dial
a number but also pause before entering another series of numbers such as a
personal identification number (PIN) or password. This feature is particularly
useful for accessing automated services such as your home voice mail from your
i50sx phone.
Example: Let’s say you have a home voice mail account that you want to check
while at an event. And, to access that account you must do the following:
•
•
•
dial your home telephone number
press # while the home voice mail greeting is being played
enter your PIN to access your messages
You can program your phone to enter all of the above information for you by
separating each entry with a pause. The stored data would look like this:
2135557777P#P1234. In this example, the first ten-digits represent the number
that must be dialed to access your home voice mail. The P represents a 3 second
pause. The # interrupts your greeting. The second P represents another 3 second
pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.
To create a three-second pause, follow the steps below:
Press and hold * for two seconds. The pause symbol (P) will appear
on the display screen.
NOTE:You can enter up to 20 characters in a single entry, stored or
dialed. You can program your phone to pause for more than 3
seconds. Performing the above step twice will program two
pauses and cause your phone to wait 6 seconds before entering
the next set of numbers.

when you activated your Service, was incomplete or incorrect or if there has been fraud or
misuse by you in relation to the Service; (ii) you breach any of the terms or conditions in
this Agreement; or (iii) you do anything which in the Company’s opinion, may cause
damage to the System. In addition, Service may be suspended, changed or terminated
without notice.

subsequent Service/Subscriber Agreement. Company may change this Agreement at any
time. Any changes are effective when Company provides Customer with written notice
stating the effective date of the change(s). If Customer elects to use the Services or make
any payment to Company on or after the effective date of the changes, Customer is

not pay the amount in dispute owed to Company, Company may exercise any remedies it
may have under this Agreement for non-payment of Service charges. Company reserves
139
the right to modify any and all elements of the Service charges at any time by giving
notice of such changes to Customer. If Customer continues to use the Service after the
Company has provided such notice, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the
changes, and such changes will be effective immediately upon Customer’s use of the
Service following notice of the changes, unless the Company’s communication indicates a
later effective date. If Customer does not accept the changes, Customer must immediately
cease all use of the Service.

Agreement
15. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES -. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR
RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF
COURT TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS. ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING

ARBITRATION CLAUSE SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT.
A. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES. YOU MUST FIRST PRESENT ANY
CLAIM OR DISPUTE TO US BY CONTACTING BOOST MOBILE
CUSTOMER CARE, IN WRITING, TO ALLOW US THE OPPURTUNITY TO
RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. You may invoke arbitration if your claim or dispute is
not resolved within 60 days after we receive your detailed written description of the
dispute or claim and the circumstances giving rise to it. The arbitration of any
dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the Wireless Industry
Arbitration rules (“WIA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”),
as modified by this Agreement. You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a
transaction in interstate commerce and the arbitration will be interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the WIA Rules and the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. The arbitration will be conducted at a location in Reston, Virginia, to be
designated by the Company.

Arbitration will be divided equally between you and Company. In all arbitrations,
each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and
preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.
C. WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGE CLAIMS AND CLASS ACTION. By this
Agreement, both Customer and Company are waiving certain rights to litigate
disputes in court. If for any reason the arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or
invalid, Customer and Company both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law,
any right we might otherwise have to recover punitive or exemplary damages and
any right to pursue any claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative
capacity.
16. COMPLETE AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY/WAIVER – This Agreement sets
forth all of the agreements between the parties concerning the Services and purchase of
the Equipment, and there are no oral or written agreements between them other than as set
forth in this Agreement. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be binding
upon this Company unless it is in writing and signed by both parties (and, in the case of
the Company, by an officer of the Company). Should any provision of this Agreement be
found illegal or in contravention of the law, such provision shall be considered null and
void but the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. The failure of
Company, at any time to require the performance by Customer of the provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect in any way the right to require such performances at any later
time, nor shall the waiver by Company of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or
held to be a waiver of compliance with or breach of any other provision or a continuing
waiver of such provision.

Safety and General Information
.
ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5815 MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 and 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 is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that is does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.24 W/kg and when tested on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.267 W/kg during voice transmission using Phone Mode and 0.50 W/kg during packet data
transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID AZ489FT5815.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
______________________________________
* 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.

Electro Magnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio product when on board an aircraft.
Any use of a radio product must be in accordance with applicable regulations
per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld
wireless radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
•
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
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 RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Safety and General Information
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in the area where
you drive. Always obey them.
When using the radio product while driving, please:
•
•
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
!
Operational Warnings
W A R N I N G
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio product in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the
air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio product may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio product prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio product type especially qualified for use in such areas
as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL approved). Do not
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as below decks 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. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio product
when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
149
!
Operational Cautions
C a u t i o n
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio product that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Cleaning and Drying Considerations
Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids
(e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is
not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent
damage to the unit.
If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with
the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the
warranty. Instead, do the following:
1. Immediately power off the radio product.
2. Remove Battery and SIM card (if so equipped) from radio product.
3. Shake excess liquid from radio product.
4. Place the radio product and battery in an area that is at room temperature
and has good air flow.
5. Let the radio product, battery dry, and SIM card for 72 hours before
reconnecting the battery and/or powering on the radio product.
If the radio product does not work after following the steps listed above, contact
your dealer for servicing information.
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with a damp cloth, using a mild
solution of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may
contain chemicals that could seriously damage the radio product. Avoid the use
of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying liquids directly
on the radio product.
