Getting Started  
Congratulations on the purchase of your phone (Model SPH-  
I300). Your phone combines two leading technologies, to give  
you the convenience of a digital phone and a personal digital  
assistant (PDA). Although the products have been effectively  
combined, they can be used together or completely  
independent of one another. The Sprint PCS Phone™ uses the  
popular Palm® Operating System, thus allowing you to  
install and run over 10,000 Palm Computing applications.  
Custom e-mail and web applications have been included and  
especially designed to work with the Sprint PCS Phone™. The  
HotSync® application can be used to synchronize a desktop  
machine with the Sprint PCS Phone™. This phone is  
lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable and offers many significant  
features:  
A Complete Palm Powered™ color screen.  
PocketMirror integrates with the Palm Desktop™  
software. This allows you to keep a desktop PC and the  
handheld computer synchronized with the same  
information.  
Voice Dialing allows you to use speech recognition to call  
someone saved in your address book.  
Dual-band capability provides access to other PCS CDMA  
and analog cellular networks where Sprint PCS has  
implemented roaming agreements.  
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser provides access to the  
wireless Internet in digital mode.  
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail and Sprint PCS Wireless Web  
Short Mail provide quick and convenient text messaging  
capabilities.  
Sprint PCS Voice Command lets you dial phone numbers  
by speaking someone’s name or the digits in their phone  
number.

hours of continuous digital standby time (20 hours in  
analog).  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon  
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time

WARNING:  
Charging the Battery  
Using the wrong battery  
charger could cause  
damage to your phone  
and void the warranty.  
Your phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should  
charge the battery upon opening the package. Being aware of  
your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level  
becomes too low, your phone automatically shuts off and you  
may lose information. For a quick check of your phone’s  
battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located on  
the top display screen.  
There is also an internal backup battery that saves all the  
settings in the phone when the regular battery is discharged.  
An internal backup battery needs to be charged initially for 24  
hours. To make sure the internal battery is charged, do not  
disconnect the main battery from the phone for 24 hours.  
Section 1  
18 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone  
 
Remaining Battery Power  
The remaining battery power is indicated on the screen using  
a battery icon in the upper right corner of the display.  
Note: A battery indicator also exists on the LCD screen. Both  
indicators are a correct measurement of battery power.  
Note:  
If your battery drains and  
you have the unit in an  
uncharged state for an  
extended period of time,  
you can lose all of the  
stored data.  
If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon  
blinks  
and the phone sounds a warning tone. The phone may power  
down to conserve battery power to maintain the phone’s data.  
Note: Always use the Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger,  
travel charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your  
battery.  
Using the Desktop Charger  
To use the desktop charger provided with your phone:  
1. Plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet.  
2. Remove the serial connector rubber plug from the bottom  
of your phone.  
3. Insert the phone (with the battery installed) into the slot.  
A red light on the charger lets you know the battery is  
charging.  
A green light lets you know that the battery is at least 90  
percent charged.  
A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a  
temperature that is too high or low, or that the charger is  
not plugged in correctly. Please check the charger and the  
battery.  
It generally takes about three hours to fully recharge a  
completely discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved  
Lilon battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it  
becomes completely run down.

What is a Handheld Computer  
The handheld computer is a personal digital assistant that  
simplifies the way you keep track of important events and  
information in your life. By using the handheld computer, you  
can keep track and automatically update information with a  
tap of the stylus. The stylus is the instrument that is used to  
navigate inside the handheld computer. It has a special point  
that serves to touch the screen to input information into the  
handheld computer.

Tapping and Typing  
To navigate the handheld computer, you must use the stylus.  
The stylus works similar to a mouse on a regular desktop  
machine, but instead of clicking an icon, you tap it. The first  
time the handheld computer is turned on, a setup screen is  
displayed with instructions. These instructions include a  
calibration setup that aligns the internal circuitry with the  
touch sensitive screen.  
The stylus can also be used to drag and select text on the  
screen. Simply press the stylus to the screen and drag it across  
the characters without lifting from the surface. Highlighted  
text indicates it has been selected.  
Note:  
Make sure you always  
use the stylus when  
touching the screen. If you  
use another device, the  
screen may become  
scratched.  
Typing  
Included in the handheld computer is a fully functional on-  
screen keyboard. To access the keyboard, tap either the alpha  
or numeric icons listed on the bottom of the screen in the  
Graffiti text area. Once the keyboard is displayed, use the stylus  
to select the letters or numbers desired.

Resetting Your Handheld  
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the  
reset button. On rare occasions, however your handheld may  
no longer respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you  
need to perform a reset to get your handheld running again.  
Performing a Soft Reset  
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it is doing and  
start over again. All records and entries stored in your  
handheld computer are retained with a soft reset. After a soft  
reset, the main phone screen is displayed.  
To perform a Soft Reset:  
Use the reset tip tool, or the tip of an unfolded paper clip  
(or similar object without a sharp tip), to gently press the  
reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your  
handheld.  
Tip:  
The stylus that comes  
with your handheld has a  
reset tip inside. To use it,  
unscrew the top of the  
stylus.  
Section 2  
34 Getting to Know the Handheld Computer  
     
Performing a Hard Reset  
A hard reset erases all records and entries stored in your  
handheld. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does  
not solve the problem. To restore your data after a hard reset,  
you must perform a HotSync operation. For more information  
on performing a HotSync operation, see "Performing a Local  
HotSync Operation" on page 249.  
To perform a Hard Reset:

oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the Sprint PCS  
R
Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS Phone works anywhere  
on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog cellular  
and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where competitive wireless  
service is available.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you  
manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How Roaming Works  
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen lets you know when you’re off the  
Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in  
analog cellular or digital mode. The following chart indicates  
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.  
Note: You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming  
calls.

Analog Cellular Networks  
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks  
Tip:  
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call  
quality will be similar to the quality you receive when making  
calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to  
access certain calling features, such as the Sprint PCS Wireless  
Web; however, all of your calls are still private and secure.  
If you’re on a call when  
you leave the Sprint PCS  
Network and enter an  
area where roaming is  
available (whether CDMA  
or analog cellular), your  
call is dropped. If your call  
is dropped in an area  
where you think  
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks  
Sprint PCS Service is  
available, turn your phone  
off and on again to  
reconnect to the Sprint  
PCS Nationwide Network.  
When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will  
experience the same quality provided by analog cellular  
carriers today. Although some features, such as  
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still  
make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences  
including:  
Section 5  
56 Understanding Roaming  
 
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-  
out and dropped calls.  
Some calling features that are standard on the Sprint PCS  
Network are unavailable.  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and  
cloning) that exist with conventional analog cellular  
services today.  
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your  
phone for analog cellular roaming.  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By  
using the Roaming menu option, you determine which  
services your phone will use.  
Set Mode  
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone  
to control your roaming experience:  
1. From the phone main menu, tap the Menu Launcher  
icon  
.
2. Select “Options” and tap “Preferences”.  
3. Tap the drop down arrow and select “Roaming”.  
4. The Roaming Preferences screen is displayed with the  
following options:  
Service Mode  
Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service.  
When Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it searches for  
an alternative system.  
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the  
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network only and prevents  
roaming on other networks.  
Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an  
analog roaming system. The previous setting is restored  
the next time the phone is turned on.

The Address Book allows you to save names, addresses, phone  
numbers, e-mail addresses, and other information about your  
personal or business contacts.  
You can store thousands of entries in the Address Book. Space  
is limited only by the amount of available memory on the  
Sprint PCS Phone™. (To view how much memory you have  
available, see "Checking Memory Usage" on page 242.) You  
can use the Address Book to:  
Make a phone call.  
Enter up to five phone numbers, or e-mail addresses for  
each contact. You can select which of these numbers is  
displayed in the Address Book.  
Attach a note to an Address Book entry.  
Assign categories to the Address Book entries. This allows  
you to quickly view or sort the entries.  
Define the contacts to include in the Speed Dial and Voice  
Dial list.  
Creating an Address Book Entry  
An Address Book entry is the name, address, and phone  
information you are keeping for a person or business. You can  
create these entries on your phone, or you can use the Palm  
Desktop software to create entries on your computer. These  
entries can then be downloaded into to your phone during a  
HotSync operation. Palm Desktop software also has data  
import capabilities that allows you load database files into the  
Address Book. See "Importing Data" on page 54 and Palm  
Desktop online Help for more information.

and future.)  
Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events  
If you change the start date of a repeating event, your  
phone calculates the number of days you moved the event.  
Your phone then automatically changes the end date to  
maintain the duration of the repeating event.  
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a  
repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on  
which you change the setting) are not changed, and your  
phone creates a new repeating event.  
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating  
event (e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the  
change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start  
date of the repeating event. Your phone adjusts the end  
date to maintain the duration of the event.  
If you change other repeat settings (for example, time,  
alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change  
to all occurrences, your phone creates a new event. The  
start date of this new event is the day on which the setting  
Date Book  
147  
is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the  
change) are not changed.  
If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating  
event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the  
Repeat icon.

he Palm™ Desktop application allows you to manage, on your phone, the

Managing Desktop E-mail  
You can send or receive e-mail after you have performed a  
HotSync operation, either locally using your phone cradle, or  
remotely using a modem.  
The Palm™ Desktop application synchronizes the mail in the  
Inbox of your desktop e-mail application with the mail on  
your phone. For example, if you delete e-mail items from your  
phone, your next HotSync operation also deletes the e-mail  
items from your desktop e-mail application. This keeps you  
from deleting the e-mail items twice.  
Similarly, if you read an e-mail item on your phone and leave  
it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation indicates in  
your desktop e-mail application that the item has been read.  
The mail application lets you:  
View, delete, file, and reply to incoming e-mail.  
Create outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items.  
Create simple or complex filters, which let you to decide  
which type of e-mail your phone retrieves from your

Use your phone in its cradle to send and retrieve e-mail  
items from your desktop e-mail application.

Setting up the Desktop Mail  
Before you use the Mail application for the first time, make  
sure that your desktop e-mail application is installed and  
running. You must also set up the Palm™ Desktop  
application for use with your desktop e-mail application.  
Your phone supports various desktop e-mail applications,  
including Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express,  
Microsoft Exchange (version 4.0 or higher), Eudora (version  
3.0.3 or higher), and Lotus cc: Mail (versions 2.5, 6.0, and  
7.0). You can view the full list of the supported applications  
when you set up Mail.  
If your desktop e-mail application does not appear on the list,  
you may still be able to manage your desktop e-mail  
application from your phone using special connection  
software, called a conduit, that allows you to synchronize your  
desktop e-mail application and your phone. Contact the  
vendor of your e-mail application for more information.

HotSync Options  
You can manage your e-mail application more effectively by  
selecting HotSync options to control which items download  
when you synchronize your phone and your desktop  
computer. Different options can be set up for local and remote  
synchronization.  
For example, you may want to download all of your e-mail  
items when you are working at the office and synchronizing  
your devices locally, but only urgent e-mail items when you  
are away from your office and synchronizing your devices  
remotely. Once your local and remote options have been  
defined, your phone determines if synchronization is  
occurring locally or remotely and uses the appropriate settings  
for the HotSync operation.  
You can filter messages to control which ones are downloaded,  
and you can set truncation options to download only part of  
larger e-mail items.  
Downloading transmits only e-mail items and any text  
information, not attachments, to your phone. Downloaded  
attachments are left in your desktop e-mail application.

Filters are used to control what e-mail is sent to your phone  
Inbox from the desktop computer. Filters are based on criteria  
that is contained in the e-mail message. When the criteria

Ignoring or Receiving Messages  
The first step in creating a new filter is determining if you  
want to ignore or retrieve messages that match the  
information specified.  
Define to Ignore or Receive  
1. From the HotSync Options screen, tap the drop down  
arrow and select the desired filter option. The two choices  
are:  
Ignore Messages Containing - Messages are  
excluded that meet the defined criteria and all other  
messages are downloaded during the HotSync process.  
This type of filter downloads more messages, since only  
one subset can be defined.  
Retrieve Only Msgs Containing - Messages are  
included that only contain the defined criteria and all  
others are not downloaded. This filter tends to  
download less e-mail.  
Section 13  
170 Managing Mail  
   
Filter Strings  
Your phone filters e-mail based on information in their To,  
From, and Subject fields, called a filter string. You create a  
filter string by listing the words you want your phone to find  
and separating them by either a comma or a space. Each word  
in the filter string is joined by an implicit OR; your phone adds  
the logical connectors like AND or OR.  
To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for  
the To, From, and Subject fields. Your phone joins the filter  
strings for these fields using an implicit AND, and adds the  
logical connector for you.  
For example, you might want to receive only e-mail items  
from John Smith ([email protected]) or Jack Jones  
([email protected]) concerning the Apollo Project. You would  
create the following filter strings:  
In the Subject field: Apollo Project  
Your phone interprets this as, “Accept e-mail items about the  
Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-  
mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from  
John or Jack about any other subject.”  
When you define a string, your phone searches for any  
instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you  
define a filter that retrieves only e-mail items with the string  
“info,” appropriate matches would include “info,”  
“rainforest” and “kinfolk.”  
Managing Mail

Define a Filter String  
1. Tap the To, From, or Subject header field in the HotSync  
Options dialog box.  
2. Enter your filter string using commas or spaces to

“OR” between the words.  
3. If the string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name  
of the field to display the Notes screen.  
4. Tap “Done” to return to the HotSync dialog box.  
5. Tap “OK” to exit.

The calculator includes several buttons to complete the  
mathematical calculations.  
The “CE” button clears the last number you  
entered. Use this button if you make a mistake  
while entering a number in the middle of a  
calculation. This button enables you to re-enter the  
number without starting the calculation over.  
The “C” button clears the entire calculation and  
enables you to begin a fresh calculation.  
The “Plus/Minus” button toggles the current  
number between a negative and positive value. If  
you want to enter a negative number, enter the  
number first and then press the +/- button.  
Calculator  
205  
   
The “M+” button places the current number in  
memory. Each new number you enter with the M+  
button is added to the total stored in memory. The  
number that you add can be either a calculated  
value or any number you enter by pressing the  
number buttons. Pressing this button has no effect  
on the current calculation (or series of  
calculations); it merely places the value into  
memory until it is recalled.  
The “MR” button recalls the stored value from  
memory and inserts it in the current calculation.  
The “MC” button clears any value that is stored in  
the Calculator memory.  
Displaying Recent Calculations  
The Recent Calculations command lets you review the last  
series of calculations and helps you confirm a chain of  
calculations. Recent calculations include the number of  
characters that can fit on the screen. Once the characters scroll  
from the screen, they are lost.  
To display recent calculations:

Web Clipping Applications  
In this Section  
Web Clipping Applications  
Web Clipping vs. Web Browsing  
Using Web Clipping Applications  
eb Clipping Applications give you access to a wide variety of information  
W
including news, sports, stocks, movie times, restaurant information, and  
much more. Since web clipping is fast and easy, you’ll always be in touch no matter  
where you are.  
Web Clipping Applications  
231  
   
Web Clipping Applications  
Web Clipping is a fast and easy way to retrieve information  
from the Internet on your phone. A simple process of query  
and response is used to send and retrieve information. Most of  
the large graphics are removed to achieve a faster download  
rate.  
Just as an ordinary desktop browser gives you access to many  
different websites, your phone gives you access to many  
different web clipping sites. These sites are called web clipping  
applications. They are created from third party developers, but  
are used like a Palm OS® application such as Date Book. The  
web clipping application is displayed as an icon in the  
Application Launcher.  
Web Clipping vs. Web Browsing  
When you browse the internet with Netscape Navigator or  
Microsoft Explorer, you are using a desktop machine capable  
of displaying complex graphic images and text at a relatively  
high speed. With your phone, that approach is not as effective.  
The screen is smaller and the memory is far less than what is  
needed to process all the images.  
Web Clipping takes a new approach to getting information  
from the Internet. Instead of downloading complex images, a  
query and response technique is used.  
The Clipping offers the following advantages:  
Convenience - Since your phone has a wireless Internet  
connection, it can be used anywhere.  
Focus - Web Clipping applications focus on retrieving  
small pieces of up-to-date information.  
Section 20  
232 Web Clipping Applications  
       
Using Web Clipping Applications  
Web Clipping is basically a query and response technique that  
gathers information from the Internet and downloads it to  
your phone. The process works like this:  
First, you open a Web Clipping application that provides  
the desired information, for example Movie Listings.  
Next, a query is sent for specific information. For example,  
movie listings in your zip code.  
Next, you enter a zip code in a space provided and tap a  
“Submit” button to request the desired movie listings from  
the Internet.  
The web clipping application sends the request to the  
Internet and returns quickly with a clipping that gives the  
piece of information requested. In this case, current movie  
listings in your zip code.  
Working with Web Clipping Applications  
Web clipping applications are designed to work like any other  
standard application installed on your phone. The skills and  
techniques learned by using the other standard applications  
can be applied when using the web clipping applications.  
Web clipping applications are similar to standard applications  
in the following ways:  
You can use Graffiti text or an onscreen keyboard when  
entering information.  
The interface of the applications are all similar. For  
example, drop down menus, edit lines, check boxes, etc.  
The edit commands are all the same. For example, cut,  
copy, paste, etc.  
Web Clipping Applications  
233  
   
Drop Down Menu Sorting  
In web clipping applications, the drop down lists are all sorted  
alphabetically or numerically depending on the content. You  
can also write the first letter and be automatically taken to the  
first entry in the list, just like the Phone Lookup feature.  
Stopping a Wireless Transaction  
1. Tap the Stop icon  
located in the top menu bar of the  
web clipping application.  
Note:  
Reviewing Current Queries (Back Arrow)  
Any data already  
downloaded prior to the  
stop command is  
displayed on the screen.  
Charges apply for the air  
time that was used to  
download the cancelled  
data.  
Your phone stores the previous queries of your current session.  
This allows you to review the entries by using the “Back  
Arrow”.  
To go to a previously viewed page:  
1. Tap the Back Arrow icon located in the top menu bar  
of the web clipping application.  
History List  
The history list keeps a list of all stored clippings in the History  
drop down menu. You see only the clippings that pertain to the  
web clipping application that is open. When another web  
clipping application is open, the history list is changed to  
reflect the stored clippings that pertain to the open  
application.  
To review the history list:  
1. Open the desired web clipping application from the  
Application Launcher main menu.  
2. Tap the History drop down menu located at the top of the  
screen.  
Section 20  
234 Web Clipping Applications  
3. Select the clipping to review from the list.  
Saving Web Clipping Information  
Information that is received from a web clipping application  
can be copied and pasted into another application. For  
example, if you receive a phone number and an address, it can  
be added to the Address Book.  
To save information:  
1. Open the web clipping application and display the desired  
information.  
2. Tap the Menu Launcher icon  
.
3. Select “Edit” and tap “Copy Page”.  
4. Open the other application, such as Address Book or  
Memo Pad.  
5. Create a new record.  
6. Tap the Menu Launcher icon  
.
7. Select “Edit” and tap “Paste”.  
The following applies for the “Copy” command:  
Copying always copies from the top to the bottom of a page  
regardless of the information displayed.  
The copy command only copies the first 4k of data. If all  
the data is not copied, the word “Truncated” is attached at  
the end of the copied text.  
The copy command does not copy any images, icons, or  
text formatting that are displayed on the screen. Plain text  
only.

Customizing the HotSync Operation  
For each application, you can define a set of options that  
determines how records are handled during the HotSync  
operation. These options are called a “conduit.” By default, a  
HotSync operation synchronizes all files between your phone  
and Palm Desktop software. In general, you should leave the  
settings to synchronize all files. The only reason to change  
these settings is to overwrite data on either your phone or  
Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular  
type of file.  
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do  
List, Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes  
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the  
system information stored on your phone, including Graffiti  
Shortcuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your  
phone.

255  
     
IR HotSync Operations  
Your phone is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that  
supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for  
infrared communication established by the Infrared Data  
Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam  
data to another Palm OS® handheld that is equipped with an  
IR port, but you can also beam data to a cell phone and any  
other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the  
IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to  
perform HotSync operations. This is especially useful if you  
travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable  
infrared communication on your laptop and handheld and  
follow the steps in “Performing an IR HotSync operation”  
later in this section.  
Preparing your computer for infrared communication  
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port,  
the desktop computer must have the following requirements:  
The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation  
of the IrDA standards.  
The computer must have an enabled infrared port that is  
built into the computer, or an enabled infrared device  
attached to the computer.  
Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device  
attached to a physical COM port. Laptop computers are likely  
to have a built-in IR port, so no external device is necessary.  
Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.  
Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the  
computer supports infrared communication. If your desktop  
computer uses Microsoft® Windows 98 or Windows 2000,  
infrared communication is built into the operating system.  
Section 22  
256 HotSync® Operations

In this Section  
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Maintaining Safe Use and Access to Your Phone  
Caring for the Battery  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice  
art of getting the most out of your phone is knowing where and how it works at  
optimum efficiency. This section outlines performance and safety guidelines  
that ensure you experience the full quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to  
give you.  
P
Performance and Safety  
263  
 
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the  
current 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 Power Save Feature  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of  
searching, a powersave feature is automatically activated. If  
your phone is on, it periodically rechecks service availability or  
you can check yourself by pressing any key. When a signal is  
found, your phone returns to Standby mode.  
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  
watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your 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  
Section 24  
264 Performance and Safety  
 
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).  
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended and  
over your shoulder.  
Note:  
For the best care of your  
phone, only Sprint PCS  
authorized personnel  
should service your phone  
and its accessories. Faulty  
service may void the  
warranty.  
Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone 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. If it’s inoperable,  
return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS  
Customer Care for service.  
Performance and Safety  
265  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your  
Phone  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY  
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE  
PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving is illegal in some states.  
Even where it’s not, it can divert your attention from driving.  
Remember that safety always comes first.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and redial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls  
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that  
may divert your attention from the road.  
Dial  
to report serious emergencies.  
It’s free from your wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency  
wireless number when necessary.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any  
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in  
Section 24  
266 Performance and Safety  
 
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference  
or danger.  
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.  
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. 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.  
Turning OFF Your Phone Before Flying  
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.  
Turning OFF Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your  
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
Performance and Safety  
267  
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set  
off explosives.  
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your  
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could  
cause an explosion or a 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 engine  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play  
with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage  
the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop  
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery  
life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty  
and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F  
(0º C to 45º C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
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.  
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:  
Less than one month:  
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Lilon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your Lilon batteries, contact your  
nearest Sprint PCS-authorized service center.  
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon  
battery.  
Special note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the  
FCC Notice  
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.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or  
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.  
Cautions  
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.  
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use  
of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and voids  
the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a  
defect to the phone.  
Section 24  
270 Performance and Safety  
 
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.  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a phone on your body, use a Sprint PCS approved  
carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do  
not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least  
one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.  
Use of non-Sprint PCS approved accessories may violate FCC  
RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC  
website at www.fcc.gov.  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
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 that 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  
Performance and Safety  
271  
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal  
standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.  
Owner's Record

Agreement  
Your agreement ("Agreement") with Sprint Spectrum L.P. and  
any of its affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS providing  
Sprint Personal Communications Services ("Services") to you  
is made up of these Terms and Conditions of Service  
("Terms") and the Service Plan we agree to provide you. Your  
"Service Plan" is described in our marketing materials and  
includes the rates and features we set for that Service Plan. We  
use the words "we," "us," "our" or "Sprint PCS" to refer to  
Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint  
PCS in these Terms. When you activate Services or attempt to  
use our Services (including, without limitation, attempting to  
Section 25  
274 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
 
place a call on the Sprint PCS Network or off the Sprint PCS  
Network when roaming, including "911" or similar calls), you  
accept the Agreement.  
Provision of Service  
Your purchase of Sprint PCS phones or other equipment does  
not mean that we must provide Services to you. We may decide  
not to provide Services to you for any lawful reason. We may  
request that you provide us with any information we  
reasonably require to determine whether you qualify for  
Services. Services in some areas are managed and provided  
under contract with Sprint PCS by independent affiliates with  
access to the Sprint PCS Network. Some Services may not be  
available or may operate differently in certain affiliate  
markets.  
Credit Verification  
You must have and keep satisfactory credit to receive and  
continue to receive Services. We will verify your credit before  
agreeing to provide Services to you and we may verify your  
credit at any time while we provide Services to you. Credit  
verification may include a review of credit reports that we  
receive from commercially available credit bureaus. We may  
require a guaranty of payment by an individual or entity  
approved by us. If at any time we determine, in our sole  
discretion, that payment for Services may not be made when  
due, we may suspend Services to your phone and require that  
you provide payment on account or a guarantee of payment  
before we resume Services to your phone.  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
275  
Changes to Agreement  
We may change this Agreement at any time (but see Service  
Plans). Any changes to the Terms are effective when we  
provide you with notice. If you use our Services or make any  
payment to us on or after the effective date of the changes, you  
accept the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you may  
terminate Services (but see Termination; Changing Service  
Plans). For purposes of the Agreement, "use" includes keeping  
the right to access the Sprint PCS Network by not terminating  
Services. You may not modify the Agreement except for your  
Service Plan (see Termination; Changing Service Plans).  
Service Plan  
You may be eligible for a fixed length Service Plan ("Term  
Service Plan") or for a month-to-month Service Plan ("Non-  
Term Service Plan"). We determine the Service Plan for which  
you qualify. We may offer non-identical Service Plans to  
different individuals or entities. Services and coverage under  
some Service Plans may be more limited as compared to other  
Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the charges for  
Services and is your Service Plan until that Service Plan is  
changed, you switch to a different Service Plan, or your  
Services terminate. Your Service Plan may require that you  
make a deposit, prepayment, or a series of deposits or  
prepayments, or be subject to an account spending limit,  
before Services are activated or maintained.  
Changing Service Plans  
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may change to a  
different Service Plan for which you qualify by contacting us.  
Any change is effective at the start of your next full invoicing  
cycle unless otherwise specified by us at the time that you  
place your change order. If you change or add a different  
Section 25  
276 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
Service Plan or service feature and the change is effective prior  
to the start of your next full invoicing cycle, you will be  
invoiced a prorated amount for the period during the previous  
invoicing cycle that the new Service Plan or service feature was  
effective. We may require a service charge for implementing  
any change directed by you and the Service Plan or optional  
service features you selected. If you are on a Term Service  
Plan, your ability to change to another Service Plan may be  
limited and we may require you to pay a termination fee as set  
out in your Service Plan.  
Use of Services and Equipment; Availability  
You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe to our Services  
(other than on a Prepaid Service Plan). We may require you to  
provide proof of your age and identity. If you are under 18  
years old you may be eligible for certain Services that have  
Account Spending Limits if a person 18 years or older is also  
named as a subscriber on the Account. Services and  
equipment may not be used for any unlawful, fraudulent or  
abusive purpose. By requesting Services, you agree that you  
will not use Services and equipment in any unlawful,  
fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease  
Services or equipment to anyone. Services are available within  
the operating range of the Sprint PCS Network. Coverage and  
quality of Services may be affected by conditions beyond our  
control, including atmospheric, geographic, or topographic  
conditions. We do not guarantee that there will be no  
interruptions or delays in Services. Your Sprint PCS Phone™  
will not accept the services of any wireless provider other than  
Sprint PCS (but see Roaming).  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
277  
Number  
We assign a phone number ("Number") to the phone or other  
equipment used by you on the Sprint PCS Network. We may  
change the Number by giving you prior notice. You do not  
own the Number. You may not (1) modify the Number we  
program into any phone or other equipment, (2) transfer or  
duplicate the Number to any phone or other equipment other  
than that authorized by us, or (3) transfer the Number to any  
other individual or entity.  
Phone Activation Fee  
You may be required to pay a non-refundable phone  
activation fee when you activate a new Number, have us switch  
a Number to a different phone, or we activate a different phone  
on your existing account. Details on any applicable phone  
activation fee are set out in your Service Plan or can be  
obtained by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.  
Charges  
You must pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for  
Services provided to the Number for each phone or other  
equipment that our records show you activated no matter who  
actually uses or has possession of the phone or other  
equipment at the time Services are provided. These charges  
include, but are not limited to, recurring monthly service  
charges, applicable local and long-distance toll charges, usage  
charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory  
assistance, call completion charges, optional features you  
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related  
charges. Charges for a completed call from your Number that  
is dialed manually begin when you press the TALK (or similar  
key) and end when the call is terminated by either party. You  
are invoiced for completed calls to your Number from the time  
Section 25  
278 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is  
terminated by either party. Charges for most Services are  
incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of  
use rounded up to the next highest minute. Certain Service  
Plans do not include itemized message transmission detail,  
even for measured service. Other Services are invoiced on a  
recurring monthly flat rate charge and you do not receive  
itemized message transmission detail on them.  
Voice Command  
The Sprint PCS Voice Command feature an optional service  
that allows you to place calls without manually dialing by  
using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or similar  
emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice  
Command feature. Airtime and applicable long distance  
charges for a call completed from your Number that is dialed  
using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or  
activate the TALK or similar key (including the ## keys for  
making subsequent calls) and end when your call is  
terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the Voice  
Command platform. If you initiate and complete a subsequent  
call without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate  
charge for that call will begin from the time the previous call  
was terminated. Airtime and applicable long distance charges  
will be applied to the entire length of a completed call initiated  
from the Voice Command feature, including the entire  
amount of time spent interacting with the Voice Command  
platform. Using Directory Assistance to input names into your  
Voice Command address book will incur additional charges.  
Details on charges for the Voice Command feature can be  
found in the marketing materials for this feature or by calling  
Sprint PCS Customer Care.  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
279  
 
Invoicing  
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.  
Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.  
Except as otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly  
recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in  
advance. Airtime is invoiced retroactively to the first minute  
based on your Service Plan for your total usage in your  
invoicing cycle. Charges for Services are usually invoiced as  
soon as possible after the charges accrue (unless you are  
receiving Services under a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan).  
We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges occurring  
before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not  
previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage incurred  
during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to  
your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle.  
However, if you change your Service Plan between the time the  
usage was incurred and the beginning of the current invoicing  
cycle, those minutes from the prior invoicing cycle will be  
charged at the applicable per minute overage rate set out in  
the Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.  
Payment  
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by  
credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice  
or consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit  
the bank account for all amounts (including any late charges,  
taxes or other regulatory related charges) due to us or billed by  
us on behalf of a third party. You must promptly notify us of  
any change in your invoicing address or of the credit card or  
bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to require  
payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured  
form of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond  
invoicing you for charges for Services or equipment, you must  
pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’  
Section 25  
280 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court  
costs. If we act as an invoicing agent for a third-party service  
provider, payments received are first applied to amounts due  
and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied to  
sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We  
may charge an additional fee for any check or other  
negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid  
by a financial institution for any reason.  
Late Payment Charges  
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date  
shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and  
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid  
at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by  
law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day that payment  
is past due, but are not compounded monthly. Acceptance of  
late or partial payments (even if marked "paid in full") does  
not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.  
Disputed Charges  
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges  
invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you  
have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by  
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general  
business offices are not notice of a dispute. You do not have to  
pay any properly disputed amounts while we investigate them;  
however, you must pay amounts not in dispute by the due date.  
If disputed invoice procedures are described on the invoice,  
you must follow them.  
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.  
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate  
Services at any time by giving us notice. We may terminate  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
281  
Services at any time, with or without notice (subject to this  
Agreement). We may deactivate any Number before you  
receive notice of termination (if we give any notice) without  
liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or  
without cause.  
Termination. Term Service Plan.  
If you are on a Term Service Plan, (1) your ability to terminate  
Services before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability  
to change to another Service Plan before the end of the term  
may be limited and may result in a termination and/or  
activation fee, (3) you may be required to pay a termination  
fee as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, (4) we may  
not terminate Services without cause before the end of the  
term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause before the end  
of the term you may be required to pay a termination fee as  
liquidated damages. No termination fee is charged if you  
terminate a Term Service Plan within 14 days of activation of  
your Sprint PCS Phone. During the term we must give each  
other notice to terminate Services. At and after the expiration  
of the term, you may terminate Services at any time by giving  
us notice and we may subject to this Agreement terminate  
Services at any time, with or without notice.  
Termination. General.  
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service  
Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you without  
liability (1) if you breach any provision of this Agreement  
(including if you fail to pay any charges for Services) or (2) if  
you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise.  
If you promptly cure the breach, we may, but are not obligated  
to, reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges for (1)  
Services provided before termination of a Number and (2)  
Section 25  
282 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
equipment, regardless of who terminates Services. If Services  
are terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle,  
(1) the monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of  
termination, and (2) you will not receive a credit or refund for  
any unused minutes in your Service Plan.  
Account Spending Limit  
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account Spending  
Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit  
before we start Services to your Number, or as reasonably  
practicable after the limit is imposed. If we require a deposit  
for you to establish or keep Services on an Account Spending  
Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of  
payment for Services (see Deposits, below). Charges for  
Services accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they  
are incurred. We may suspend Services to your Number  
without prior notice to you when your account balance  
reaches your Account Spending Limit. Services are restored  
when you have paid any past due balance and pay a specified  
minimum amount to reduce your account balance below your  
Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum  
amount at any time upon notice to you. You may pay any past  
due balance and the minimum amount by any method  
authorized by Sprint PCS. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care for  
information about authorized methods of making these  
payments. If we provide Services to you on an Account  
Spending Limit basis, Services and coverage may be limited in  
certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even if they  
exceed the amount of your Account Spending Limit.  
Deposits  
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services, we  
will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for  
Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time to  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
283  
reflect revised estimated monthly charges based upon your  
usage. A deposit may not be used to pay any invoice (unless it  
is used to pay a final 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 on the deposit is subject to  
change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services  
are terminated for any reason, we may, without notice to you,  
apply your deposit toward payment of outstanding charges  
and any excess is returned to you at your last known address  
within 75 days after termination of Services. If the U.S. Postal  
Service cannot deliver the money to you and returns it to us,  
we will hold it for you for one year from the date of return and  
we may charge a monthly servicing fee against the deposit  
balance. Any money held during this one-year period will not  
accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the  
money left after the one-year period.  
Prepaid Service Plans. General.  
(Prepaid Services are not available in Southern California,  
Hawaii or certain Sprint PCS affiliate markets.) If we provide  
Services to you on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you may  
be required to pay an Initial Prepaid Service Fee to establish  
your prepaid account with us. This Initial Prepaid Service Fee  
is non-refundable and does not apply against charges for  
phone calls you make or receive or service charges. You must  
keep a positive balance in your prepaid account in order to  
make or receive calls. The balance in your prepaid account is  
reduced by daily or monthly service charges (or both), in  
addition to the charges for the phone calls you make and  
receive. Charges for Prepaid Services are invoiced in one-  
minute increments and deducted from your prepaid account  
balance. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next  
highest minute. If you add additional options to your prepaid  
account, the monthly charges for them will be deducted from  
Section 25  
284 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
your prepaid account which could bring your account balance  
to $0 or below. When you have used all of the money in your  
prepaid account, Services are suspended until you add money  
to your account. You may add money to your prepaid account  
by any means we agree to accept (e.g. Sprint PCS Prepaid  
Wireless Cards). If you do not have any money in your prepaid  
account for 45 consecutive days, you will have to pay a  
reconnection fee to restore Services. During this 0-45 day  
period with a $0 balance, your daily or monthly service  
charges (or both) will continue to accrue and you must pay  
any accrued charges plus a reconnection fee before Services  
are restored. If you do not have any money in your prepaid  
account for 90 consecutive days, we close the account. If you  
wish to restore Services in the future, you will be subject to  
current Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan availability and the  
current Terms; in addition, you may be charged a reactivation  
fee. If you call us toll-free at 1-888-263-9695, we can provide  
information about adding money to your prepaid account, the  
fees for restoring or reactivating Services, Number availability  
and balance information. You must pay all charges for  
Services used by you whether or not they are more than the  
amount of money in your prepaid account. Services and  
coverage under Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans may be more  
limited than under other Service Plans. Money in your prepaid  
account may be mixed with our money. We do not pay interest  
on money in your prepaid account. We do not refund unused  
money in your prepaid account and will not transfer unused  
money to anyone else or any other Sprint PCS prepaid or non-  
prepaid account.  
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans  
(Daily Service Charge)  
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Daily Service  
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account once each  
day, which could bring your account balance to $0 or below.  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
285  
You can avoid disruption in Services by keeping a positive  
balance in your account. Even if your account balance  
reaches $0, the Daily Service Charge continues to accrue for 45  
consecutive days, causing your account balance to become  
negative. After 45 consecutive days with a $0 or negative  
balance, we will charge you a reconnection fee in addition to  
the accrued Daily Service Charge to restore Services.  
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans  
(Monthly Service Charge)  
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan has a Monthly Service  
Charge, it is deducted from your prepaid account on the first  
day of each month. This could bring our account balance to  
$0 or below. You can avoid disruption in Services by adding  
enough money to your account before the end of each month  
to cover the Monthly Service Charge and keep a positive  
balance in your account.  
Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plans  
(No Monthly Service Charge)  
If your Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan does not have a  
Monthly Service Charge and you have not added money to  
your account for 60 consecutive days, your account balance is  
forfeited. If you add money to your prepaid account within the  
60 day period, your prior account balance and the money  
added are carried forward for another 60 consecutive days.  
Prepaid Wireless Cards  
Each Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card has an expiration date  
on it. If you purchase a Sprint PCS Prepaid Wireless Card and  
have a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan, you can only use the  
card to add money to your prepaid account. The card must be  
used to add money to your prepaid account before the card’s  
Section 25  
286 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
expiration date. If you obtain a promotional Sprint PCS  
Prepaid Wireless Card and do not have a Sprint PCS Prepaid  
Service Plan, you can use the card to make prepaid phone  
calls that will not show up on your monthly invoice. You will  
not be able to use the card after the expiration date or 60  
consecutive days after making your first call using the card  
(whichever comes first).  
Wireless Web Services  
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be  
obtained through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may not  
be immediately available in some Sprint PCS affiliate markets.  
Use of Wireless Web Services requires a wireless data  
compatible phone or certain other equipment (or both) and is  
subject to any memory, storage or other limitation in the  
phone or other equipment. The Caller ID blocking feature is  
not available when using Wireless Web Services. Your Number  
is transmitted to any site you visit on the Internet. You are  
charged for time spent connected to the Wireless Web,  
including time spent browsing on the Internet and reviewing  
or scrolling through Internet information on-line while still  
connected to the Sprint PCS Network. Not all Internet sites can  
be accessed and you may receive an error message if you  
attempt to access a site that cannot be accessed through  
Wireless Web Services. You are also charged for Wireless Web  
connections to review your Sprint PCS account information.  
Wireless Web Services currently are not available when you are  
roaming off the Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are  
not available to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service  
Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending Limit  
basis, you may be limited in the Wireless Web Services  
available to you. Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our

Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges  
We invoice you for taxes, regulatory related obligations and  
other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities, or  
foreign government on Services, or mandated to be paid in  
proportion to receipts from telecommunications services  
provided, or on sales of equipment (except for taxes based on  
our net income), if we pay these taxes or other regulatory  
related charges. Taxes, regulatory related charges and charges  
not directly paid by us are not invoiced to you, but payment to  
the taxing or levying authority of any applicable taxes,  
regulatory related charges and charges due from you are your  
responsibility. If you claim any tax exemption, you must  
provide us with a valid tax-exempt document. Any tax  
exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid tax-  
exempt document.  
Roaming  
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of  
the Sprint PCS Network are “roaming” calls. Your  
Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed and engineered to  
work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It works on other CDMA  
PCS providers’ systems only when a roaming agreement is in  
Section 25  
288 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
place between Sprint PCS and the other providers. If your  
Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a  
CDMA PCS provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint PCS  
Network) and a wireless analog telecommunications  
provider’s system only when roaming agreements are in place  
between Sprint PCS and the other providers. If we do not have  
a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place  
roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card.  
Certain features are not available when roaming. Roaming  
rates may be different from and higher than the rates you pay  
for calls within your Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the  
Sprint PCS Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according  
to the practices of the roaming service provider. When  
roaming, you are subject to the limitation of liability  
provisions and other applicable rules imposed by the roaming  
service provider on its own subscribers or on roamers.  
Interruption of Service  
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services  
for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis. Interruptions  
caused by your negligent or willful actions, or by failure of  
equipment or service not provided by us, or by causes beyond  
our reasonable control, do not qualify for credit. We may  
provide you with an airtime credit of one minute for a call that  
is disconnected because of transmission limitations caused by  
atmospheric, geographic or topographic conditions and that  
you redial within one minute of disconnection. You must  
notify us within 24 hours of the disconnection to request  
credit.  
Phones and Other Equipment  
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and returned  
as provided in the purchase documents. We are not the  
manufacturer of the phones or other equipment and the only  
Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
289  
warranties on the phones or other equipment are any limited  
warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have no  
liability in connection with the phones and other equipment  
or for the manufacturers’ acts or omissions, or both.  
Lost or Stolen Equipment  
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must  
notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are  
responsible for all charges for Services provided to the Number  
for the lost or stolen equipment before you notify us of the loss  
or theft. We will deactivate Services to the Number upon  
notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be required to  
provide evidence of the loss or theft (e.g., a police report or  
affidavit). If the equipment is later found, we may require that  
you exchange it for another phone or other equipment before  
we reactivate Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as  
require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate  
Services to any Number without prior notice to you if we  
suspect any unlawful or fraudulent use of the Number. You  
agree to reasonably cooperate with us in investigating  
suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.  
Caller ID  
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned  
to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer Care 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. Caller ID delivery  
resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID display on  
incoming calls to your Number is dependent on receiving the  
information from the calling party.  
Section 25  
290 Terms & Conditions/Warranty  
TTY Access  
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text 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. It is not possible to use your  
phone with a TTY.  
Pay-Per-Call Service  
We will not complete calls from your Number to 900, 976 and  
similar numbers for pay-per-call services.  
International Calling  
You may be limited in the international destinations that you  
can call with Services. You should call Sprint PCS Customer  
Care for information about international destinations that  
cannot be called from your Sprint PCS Phone.  
Limitation of Liability  
Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole liability  
to you for any loss or damage arising out of providing or  
failing to provide Services (including mistakes, omissions,  
interruptions, delays, errors, or defects) does not exceed (1) in  
cases related to a specific piece of equipment, the prorated  
MRC for Services to the piece of equipment during the affected  
period, or (2) in cases not related to a specific piece of  
equipment, the prorated MRCs for Services to you during the  
affected period. We are not liable for any damage arising out
