to be responding properly to onscreen touches.
Touch Sensitivity
The Samsung Instinct s30’s touch screen requires a
small amount of pressure to operate. The smaller the
size of your contact point on the screen, the less the
amount of pressure required. The tip of your finger will
work better than the pad of your finger, and a fingernail
or stylus (not included) will require even less pressure.
Initially, your device's sensitivity is set to its highest
level. Once you have discovered your preferred method
for operating your touchscreen, you may find that it is
too sensitive for some applications. You can adjust how
sensitive the device is to touch actions on the screen.
1. Press

unless you purchase them again.
The microSD card can be accessed and used just as
easily as any other communicating storage device. To
make your media files accessible for playback by the
device, you must correctly transfer the files from your
computer directly to the proper folder on the internal
microSD card.
Sprint recommends you back up your AAC+ music
files to your computer so you can access the files in
case your microSD card is lost or damaged, or if you
install a new microSD card.
It is recommended that you format your
microSD card so the device can properly

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.
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.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Using Your 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.
Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and
request permission before using the device near medical
equipment.

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-866-7509. You can also

could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives
significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked as
this could cause injury to you.
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:
Using Your Device With a Hearing
Aid Device
Ⅲ Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Ⅲ Below deck on boats.
Ⅲ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Ⅲ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
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.
Ⅲ Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
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.
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
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 SPH-M810 has an
M4 and T3 rating.
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.
200
4A. Important Safety Information
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.
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
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.)
Getting the Best Hearing Device
Experience With Your Device
To further minimize interference:
ⅷ Set the device’s display and dial pad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time interval:
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:
1. Press
and touch Main (

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint authorized service center.
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).
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.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or
Sprint-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.
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.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Devices
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your device complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
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.
energy absorbed into 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 than
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone
design and other factors.
4A. Important Safety Information
203
What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
FCC Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The highest reported SAR values of the Samsung Instinct s30
(SPH-M810) are:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
Note
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.050 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.959 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.330 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.040 W/kg
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
