Introduction  
This Phone User Guide introduces you to Sprint service and all  
the features of your new phone. It’s divided into four  
sections:  
Section 1: Getting Started  
Section 2: Using Your Phone  
Section 3: Sprint Service Features  
Section 4: Safety and Warranty Information  
Throughout this guide, you’ll find tips that highlight special  
shortcuts and timely reminders to help you make the most of  
your new phone and service. The Table of Contents and Index  
will also help you quickly locate specific information.  
You’ll get the most out of your phone if you read each section.  
However, if youd like to get right to a specific feature, simply  
locate that section in the Table of Contents and go directly to  
that page. Follow the instructions in that section, and you’ll  
be ready to use your phone in no time.  
Due to updates in phone software, this printed guide  
may not be the most current version for your phone.  
Visit www.sprint.com and sign on to My Sprint Wireless  
to access the most recent version of the phone guide.

Getting Started With Sprint Service  
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated  
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably  
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your  
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you  
need to do is unlock it.  
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the activation  
card included with your phone.  
Unlocking Your Phone  
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:  
1. Press

2. Select Unlock ( ).  
To select a softkey action, press the softkey button directly  
below the softkey text that appears at the bottom left and  
bottom right of your phone’s display screen. Softkey actions  
change according to the screen you’re viewing and will not  
appear if there is no corresponding action available.  
Note:  
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,  
the lock code is ciphered and not visible as you type.)  
If you can't recall your lock code, try using the last four digits  
of your wireless phone number. If this doesn't work, call  
Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger  
Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved  
batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use  
a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and  
charger may increase the risk that your phone will  
overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily  
injury, death, or property damage.  
Warning!

allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.  
The battery provides up to 3.5 hours of continuous digital talk  
time.  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon  
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk  
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers  
down.  
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode,  
Bluetooth, and browser use will affect the battery’s talk and  
standby times.  
Note:

Charging the Battery  
Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be  
charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your  
phone.  
It is recommended that you completely charge your battery  
before first using your phone. This guarantees you begin

glance at the battery charge indicator located in the  
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the  
battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon (  
blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Using the Phone Charger  
To use the phone charger provided with your phone:  
Plug the terminal end of the charger into the phone’s  
power interface connector and the other end into an

Section 2D  
Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
In This Section  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the  
Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band M510 by  
Samsung works anywhere on the network and allows you to  
roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where  
we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.  
This section explains how roaming works as well as special  
features that let you manage your roaming experience.  
103  
       
Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when  
you’re off the Sprint National Network. Whenever you are  
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the network,  
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip:  
Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay  
a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
Note:  
Roaming on Other Digital Networks  
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality  
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when  
making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, you  
may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint  
Power Vision.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network  
and enter an area where roaming is available, your call is  
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think  
Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to  
reconnect to Sprint National Network.  
Note:  
104  
 
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you  
may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail  
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need  
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you  
are in a roaming service area for an extended time.  
To check your voicemail while roaming:  
1. Dial 1 + area code + your wireless phone number.  
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press  
.
TALK  
3. Enter your voicemail passcode at the prompt and follow  
the voice prompts.  
When you return to the Sprint National Network, voicemail  
notification will resume normally.  
105  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities.  
By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which  
signals your phone accepts.  
Set Mode  
Choose from three different settings on your digital  
dual-band phone to control your roaming experience.  
To set your phone’s roam mode:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > More > Roaming > Set Mode.

Sprint to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network  
only and prevent roaming on other networks.  
106  
   
Using Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are  
roaming off the Sprint National Network: the onscreen  
roaming icon ( ) and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to  
manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step  
before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This  
additional step is not required when you make or receive calls  
while on the network.)  
Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.  
Note:  
To turn Call Guard on or off:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > More > Roaming > Call Guard.  
2. Read the message and when prompted, highlight On or

TALK  
If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take an extra  
step to make or receive roaming calls.  
Note:  
107  
     
Using Data Roam Guard  
Depending on service availability and roaming agreements,  
your phone may be able to access data services while  
roaming on certain digital systems. You can set your phone to  
alert you when you are roaming off the Sprint National  
Network and try to use data services such as messaging.  
Data Roam Guard is turned off by default on your phone.  
Note:  
To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > More > Roaming > Data Roaming.  
MENU  
2. Highlight Always Ask or Never Ask and press  
.
OK  
Always Ask sets your phone’s Data Roam Guard  
feature on. You will see a prompt and will be  
required to respond anytime you access data  
services while roaming.  
Never Ask turns your phone’s Data Roam Guard  
feature off. You will not be notified of your roaming  
status when accessing data services.  
To use data services when Data Roam Guard is active:  
When a pop-up notification appears informing you that  
data roam charges may apply, select Roam (  
) to  
connect.

Using Your Phone’s Voice Services  
In This Section  
Your phone’s Voice Services let you place calls using your voice,  
store voice reminders, and record memos right on your phone.  
This section includes easy-to-follow instructions on using  
voice-activated dialing and managing voice memos.  
143  
   
Using Voice-Activated Dialing  
Sprint Voice Signal uses built-in voice recognition software  
that allows you to say commands to perform common  
functions supported by your phone. There is no voice training  
required to use the voice recognition feature. You simply say  
the predesignated command displayed on your screen in a  
normal tone of voice to perform the desired function.  
To activate voice recognition:  
1. Press and hold  
. (The phone prompts you to “Say a  
TALK  
command”.)  
2. Wait for the beep and then say one of the following  
commands:  
Call <Name or #>  
Send Text <Name or #>  
Send Email <Name>  
Send Voice SMS <Name>  
Lookup <Name>  
Go To <App>  
When it recognizes one of these commands, the phone takes  
the corresponding action. If the phone does not hear a  
command within approximately eight seconds, it  
deactivates voice recognition without taking any action.  
144  
     
Using Voice Launch  
Voice Launch allows you to configure how to launch  
Voice-Activated dialing.  
To access voice launch:  
1. Select Menu > Tools > Voice Services.  
2. Select Settings (  
).  
MENU  
OK  
3. Select Voice Launch and press  
.
MENU  
OK  
4. Select Talk Key or Talk Key and Flip Open and press  
.
Using Call <Name or #>  
You can voice dial from your phone with a single command by  
saying “Call” followed by a name and (optionally) a label  
stored in your Contacts list; or say “Call” followed by a valid  
phone number. You can also say “Call” by itself and be  
prompted for the name or number.  
Calling Contacts Entries  
To place a call using Call <Name or #>:  
1. Press and hold  
.
TALK  
2. Say “Call” followed by the name and the label for the  
number you wish to call. For example, say “Call John  
Mobile.” The phone dials the number stored for the  
contact “John” with the label “Mobile.”  
145  
 
If the location recognized for the name does not have a  
number stored in Contacts, your phone will play the message  
No match found,” and then return you to the previous screen.  
If a name has only a single number, or if you know the name  
but are not sure which number to call, say “Call” followed by  
the name only. For example, say “Call John.” If the name is  
recognized and there is only one number for the name, your  
phone immediately places the call. If there are multiple  
numbers stored for the contact, the phone prompts you with  
Which Number?” and displays a list of options. You can select  
an option by saying it or by using your keypad.  
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)  
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your Contacts list:  
1. Press and hold  
.
TALK  
2. Say “Call” followed immediately by a valid string of  
digits to be dialed, for example, say “Call 555 555 5555.”  
3. If the correct number is repeated, say “Yes” to dial the  
number.  
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit  
at a time—1-800 should be pronounced “One Eight Zero  
Zero.”  
146  
Adapting Digit Dial  
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no  
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy  
accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty in  
achieving high accuracy with speaker-independent Digit  
Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to  
dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation.  
Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find  
no additional benefit to performing the Adapt Digit  
adaptation.  
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to  
your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on  
your phone unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.  
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently  
misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore the  
system to its original factory setting.  
Note:  
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to  
teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes  
about three minutes.  
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:  
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.  
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.  
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of  
digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the  
recording, you can say or select “No” when the prompt  
asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will then be  
prompted to rerecord the sequence.  
147  
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:  
1. Select Menu > Tools > Voice Service.  
2. Select Settings (  
).  
MENU  
OK  
3. Select Digit Dialing and press  
.
MENU  
OK  
4. Select Adapt Digits and press  
to begin. (The phone  
displays the first digit sequence.)  
5. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a  
normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back your  
recording and asks “Did the recording sound OK?”)  
If the recording is acceptable (no mistakes and no  
background noises), say “Yes.”  
If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any  
problems, say “No.” (The phone then prompts you to  
say the digits again.)  
6. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.  
(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the  
recording.)  
7. After confirming that the recording is acceptable, repeat  
the recording process with the next set of digits.  
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for another six sets of digits. (After the  
sixth set of digits, you will be halfway through the  
session and the phone will ask “More Adaptation?”)  
9. Select OK to continue for another ten sets of digits, or  
press  
for partial adaptation. When you are finished  
END  
with a full session, you will reach a screen that reads,  
Adaptation Complete.”  
148  
It is recommended that you perform the complete  
adaptation of Digit Dial at least once to achieve the  
maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation is  
performed, you can always return later and resume the  
process from the halfway point.

Multimedia FAQs  
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m  
viewing or listening to an audio clip?  
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you  
are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the  
voicemail icon will appear on the screen.  
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it  
will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?  
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing  
of the available clips, with the clip’s length appearing  
after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s duration will  
depend on the story or content being provided, and can  
be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.  
3. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I  
have my phone?  
As long as you are on the network, you will have access  
to the audio and video clips.  
The Media Player Service does not work while roaming off the  
network or where service is unavailable.  
Note:  
4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?  
It depends on the content provider. Some of the  
channels available through Sprint TV stream live  
content. Others provide media on demand with video  
and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day,  
but that are not “live.”  
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a  
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I  
know it has been purchased?  
The next time you access your media player’s Channel  
Listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding  
number will appear in the My Channels section.  
189  
   
6. Why are some channels already preloaded into the My  
Channels section?  
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of  
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels  
automatically appear in the My Channels section of  
your Channel Listings.  
7. If I don’t subscribe to Sprint Vision Plan, will I still be able to  
view the multimedia clips?  
Yes; for service access charges, please consult your  
Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.  
8. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll  
through all the channels in my Channel Listings?  
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You  
can simply press this number to quickly access the clips  
located within that channel.  
When entering the specific channel number, channels 01 - 09  
do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access  
channel “07,” just press the “7” key.  
Tip:  
9. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the  
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?  
This happens when the media player is in the process of  
loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically  
occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network.  
10. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?  
To cancel your Sprint TV Service, visit www.sprint.com and  
sign on to My Sprint Wireless with your account number  
and password. From this page you have the ability to  
cancel the service and/or any Available Channels to  
which you subscribe.  
190  
11. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?  
Yes; while you are playing a clip, you can use the up and  
down navigation buttons to surf to a different channel.  
A small pop-up screen will appear that tells you which  
channel you are watching as well as other channels you  
have access to. Use the navigation buttons to scroll  
through the different channels. Once you find a channel  
MENU  
that you want to watch, scroll to it and press  
(or  
OK  
simply wait approximately three seconds) and the  
channel will begin loading.

Using Bluetooth  
In This Section  
Your phone features built-in Bluetooth technology, allowing you  
to share information more easily than ever before. Bluetooth is a  
short-range communications technology that allows you to  
connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth-enabled devices,  
such as headsets, hands-free car kits, handhelds, PCs,  
printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication  
range is usually up to approximately 10 meters (30 feet).  
This section details how to set up and make the most of your  
phone’s Bluetooth capabilities.  
193  
     
Turning Bluetooth On and Off  
By default, your device’s Bluetooth functionality is  
turned off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your device  
“discoverable” by other in-range Bluetooth devices.

detected by the Bluetooth device. When an incoming caller  
has previously been saved to your Contacts list, the caller's  
Contacts name will be announced through your headset. If  
an incoming caller is not currently in your Contacts, only the  
caller’s phone number is announced through your headset.  
Note:  
Note:  
If a caller's ID is blocked, "Call From Private Number" will be  
announced through your headset. If no information can be  
determined, such as an out-of-area call, "Call From Unknown  
number" will be announced through your headset.  
195  
       
Bluetooth Settings: My Bluetooth Device Name  
The My Bluetooth Name section of the Bluetooth Settings

Supported Bluetooth Profiles  
Your phone supports different Bluetooth profiles. These  
various supported profiles are listed in the Device Info screen  
of a selected Bluetooth device. Different profiles can be used  
for specific Bluetooth functions.  
HSP: Headset Profile – Bluetooth technology connects the  
phone to a wireless Bluetooth-enabled headset. When an  
incoming call is received, the ringer can be heard through  
the headset instead of through the phone. The call can  
then be received by pressing a button. Increase or  
decrease the volume by using the volume key on the side  
of the phone.  
HFP: Hands-Free Profile – Bluetooth technology connects  
the phone to a wireless Bluetooth-enabled car kit.  
Incoming calls ring to the hands-free headset or device.  
Calls can be received by pressing a button on the headset  
or device. For dialing, four functions are supported: recent  
call dial, voice dial, speed dial, and number dial. Increase  
or decrease the volume by using the volume key on the  
side of the phone.  
DUN: Dial-Up Network Profile – Bluetooth technology  
functions as a wireless data cable, connecting a PC or PDA  
to a network through your phone.  
BPP: Basic Printing Profile – Bluetooth technology functions  
as a PictBridge printing connection to a printer from your  
phone.  
197  
       
OPP: Object Push Profile – is based on the Generic Object  
Exchange (OBEX) profile which uses predefined object  
formats. The object formats are vCard, vCal, vMsg, and  
vNote.  
FTP: File Transfer Protocol– is based on the Generic FTP  
Protocol to exchange files.  
A2DP: Advance Audio Distribution Profile–transfers a  
two-channel stereo audio stream, like music from an MP3  
player, to a headset or car radio.  
AVRCP: Audio Video Remote Control Profile–provides a  
standard interface to control TVs, hi-fi equipment, etc. to  
allow a single remote control (or other device) to control  
all the A/V equipment that a user has access to. It may be  
used in concert with A2DP or VDP.  
Verify your headset/device is powered and is configured for  
pairing. (This typically involves configuring your headset/  
device to transmit a signal that it is searching for a Bluetooth  
phone).  
Note:

Important Safety Information  
In This Section  
This phone guide contains important operational and safety  
information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to  
read and follow the information provided in this phone guide  
may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property  
damage.  
239  
     
General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and  
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
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.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or  
sitting on it.  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in  
this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void  
your authority to operate this equipment.  
For the best care of your phone, ensure that only  
Sprint-authorized personnel service your phone and  
accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your  
warranty.  
Note:  
240  
 
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to  
Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee  
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon  
any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical  
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks  
or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use.  
Check with your local service provider for details.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a  
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to  
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint  
Store, or call the Sprint Accessory Hotline at  
Tip:  
1-800-974-2221 or by dialing #222 on your phone.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special  
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in 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 systems and/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.  
241  
 
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
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 your phone off when in  
a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios  
should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF  
devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could  
generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily  
injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.  
They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,  
or metal powders.  
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 phone or accessories.  
Note:  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could  
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase  
your Sprint invoice.  
242  
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  
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that  
many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,  
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable  
manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with  
Sprint phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories  
approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint- or  
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at Sprint Stores or  
through your phone’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order.  
They’re also available at http://www.sprint.com. “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.  
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  
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.  
243  
 
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid  
Device  
Your Sprint Nextel phone has been tested for hearing aid device  
compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing  
devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing,  
humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than  
others to this interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their  
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may  
be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box.  
Your Sprint Power Vision M510 phone by Samsung has an M4 rating and a  
T3 rating.  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the level  
of immunity of your hearing device and degree of your hearing loss. If your  
hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be  
able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your  
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely  
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not  
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to  
be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone  
Switch") than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)  
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to  
experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid  
devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your  
hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
244  
 
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a  
combined rating of six for "best use." This is synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint Nextel further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even  
those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that  
works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience  
interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing  
your phone, promptly return it to the store within 30 days of purchase.  
With the Sprint 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone  
within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.  
More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at:  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the  
telecoil setting.

minimum time interval:  
1. Select Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned  
on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use  
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This  
power can range from 0.006 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 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).  
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. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at  
246  
 
Specific Absorption Rates (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 than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone  
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each  
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a  
variation in safety.  
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 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 M510 are:  
CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 0.732 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.664 W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 1.26 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.423 W/kg  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM510.
