Charging the Battery  
Charge your battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your device.  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low,  
your device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working  
on. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in  
the upper-right corner of your device’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low,  
the battery icon (  
) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone.  
Always use a Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved charger cable or vehicle power  
adapter to charge your battery.  
Your Instinct comes with a second battery and a charger for the extra battery, so you’ll always  
have a charged battery ready.  
Note  
Using the Charger  
Plug the flat end of the charger into the device’s Accessories/Power Cable Jack and the  
other end into an electrical outlet.

Data Connection Status and Indicators  
Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top  
of the screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your device is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network  
(DOrA). When the triangles are animated, data is being transferred (for example, when  
you are opening a Web page); when the triangles are gray, you are connected to the  
network but data is not currently being transferred (for example, when you are viewing  
a Web page that is completely open). While data is being transmitted, you can make a  
call but can't receive one.  
Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are  
animated, data is being transferred (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and  
you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, you are connected to the network but  
data is not currently being transferred (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that  
is completely open), and you can receive calls.  
If no indicator is displayed, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a  
connection, see “Launching a Web Connection” on page 88.

Any changes or modifications to your device not expressly approved in this document could void your  
warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.  
For the best care of your device, only Sprint-authorized personnel should service your device and  
accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.  
Note  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device  
Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls  
Mobile devices operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.  
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile device for essential communication (e.g., medical  
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network  
services or mobile device features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.  
Using Your Device While Driving  
Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device without a hands-free device) is prohibited in  
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You  
can also dial # 2 2 2 on your device.  
Tip  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn  
your device off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.  
Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals  
from wireless devices may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or  
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine  
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer  
regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to  
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
106  
Safety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information  
 
Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the device near  
medical equipment.  
Note  
Turning Off Your Device Before Flying  
Turn off your device 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 device while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC  
regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in the air.  
Turning Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device off when in a blasting area or in other areas  
with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF  
devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your device off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare,  
your device and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in  
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your  
vehicle that contains your device or accessories.  
Note  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device  
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others,  
damage the device or make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.  
Using Your Device With a Hearing Aid Device  
A number of Sprint devices have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless  
devices are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may  
detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
Safety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information  
107  
 
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and devices also vary in  
the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a  
standardized means of measuring both wireless device and hearing devices to determine usability rating  
categories for both.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile devices to assist hearing device users find devices that may be  
compatible with their hearing device. Not all devices have been rated for compatibility with hearing  
devices. Devices that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your Instinct (SPH-M800) has an  
M3 and T3 rating.  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and individual  
type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise, even a  
device with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the  
device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.  
M-Ratings: Devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to  
generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated devices. (M4 is the better/higher of the two  
ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a  
hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated devices. (T4 is the better/higher  
of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless devices and  
should have ratings similar to devices. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your  
hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your device to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 device, you will have a combined rating of six for “excellent  
use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple devices (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4)  
while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience  
interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly return it to  
the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the  
device within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about hearing aid compatibility may  
be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.  
108  
Safety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Device  
To further minimize interference:  
Set the device’s display and dial pad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press  
and touch Main (  
) > Settings > Display > Brightness, Backlight Dim, or Brightness  
Off.  
2. Touch the minimum time interval setting. (Brightness is adjustable by moving the slider either left or  
right.)  
Position the device so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.  
Move the device around to find the point with least interference.  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless device batteries overheating, catching fire, or  
exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-  
brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar  
problems with Sprint devices resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by  
Sprint or the manufacturer of your device. Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries  
and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to  
order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the right batteries and  
accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C  
to 45° C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
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.  
Safety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information  
109  
 
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:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.  
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.  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Device Operates  
Your device is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio  
frequency (RF) signals. When you use your device, the system handling your call controls the power level.  
This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your device 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 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).  
110  
Safety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information  
   
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the  
Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a  
body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when  
transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a  
wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does  
not represent how much RF the device emits. All device models are tested at their highest value in strict  
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be substantially less than the level  
reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station  
antenna, device design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each device meets strict  
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.  
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated  
above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean variations in safety. SAR  
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the Instinct (SPH-M800) are:  
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 1.16 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.22 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 1.46 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.01 W/kg  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM800.  
More information on the device’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site:
