Battery Capacity

Using Your Phone’s Battery and

Charger

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)

battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is

fully drained. The battery provides up to 5.6 hours of

continuous digital talk time.

Use only Sprint-approved or Samsung-

approved batteries and chargers with your

phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or

Samsung-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

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 turns off.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce

the battery’s talk and standby times.

Note

Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved batteries and

accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through

Samsung; or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also

available at www.sprint.com.

Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and

charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Using Automatic Speech

Recognition (ASR)

Voice Services

You can use the phone’s built-in speech recognition

software to activate various voice commands, such as

making calls, sending messages, or launching

applications.

ࡗ

Using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) (page 99)

Managing Voice Memos (page 105)

ࡗ

Your phone’s Voice Services let you place calls using your voice

and store voice reminders right on your phone. This section

includes easy-to-follow instructions for using voice-

activated dialing.

Making a Call Using Automatic Speech

Recognition

1. Press and hold

The Voice Service feature can be used to dial

previously stored phone numbers (since the

application recognizes these saved names).

Note

2. Follow the voice prompts and recite the entry’s

voice dial tag into the microphone.

3. If the matching Contacts entry has more than one

number, say the name of the label associated to

the desired phone number.

Record voice dial tags in a quiet environment and

without the aid of an accessory (for example, a

headset or hands-free car kit).

Tip

Section 2I. Voice Services

Tips for Using Voice Dial

ⅷ Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.

ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently

misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore

the system to its original factory setting.

Note

ⅷ When saying a name, speak at a normal speed and

say the name clearly. There is no need to pause

between the first name and last name.

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences

to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process

takes about three minutes.

Adapting Digit Dialing

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.

Tips for Adapting Digit Dial

ⅷ Adapt digits in a quiet place.

ⅷ Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to

speak.

ⅷ Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

ⅷ 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.

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.

again. (Repeat this step until you are satisfied with

the recording.)

TV FAQs

1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m

viewing or listening to a media clip?

Yes. All incoming calls will temporarily pause your

current clip and provide you with the option to

either Silence (left softkey) or Ignore (right softkey).

The first time you access a channel, you will be

prompted to purchase access (unless the channel

doesn't have a monthly fee). Select Subscribe to

purchase access, or select Preview to view a preview

of the selected channel.

Note

4. If applicable, select a clip and press

Section 3C. Entertainment: TV and Music

175

2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it will

take to play the clip prior to accessing it?

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 the channel, you bypass

the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the

available content.

Once you have selected a channel, you will see a

listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length

displayed 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.

6. If I don’t subscribe to a Sprint Power Vision Plan, will I still be

able to view the multimedia clips?

3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have my

phone?

Yes. For service access charges, please consult

your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.

As long as you are on the Sprint National Network,

you will have access to the audio and video clips.

7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the

word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?

This happens when the phone is loading the data

necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when

there is heavy traffic on the network.

Sprint TV Service does not work while roaming off of

the Sprint National Network or where service is

unavailable.

Note

8. 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 or

any channels to which you subscribe.

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.”

Section 4A. Important Safety Information

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.

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.

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 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.

Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and

request permission before using the phone near medical

equipment.

Note

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local

Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also

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 prev ent any risk of interference, FCC

regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the

air.

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.

Section 4A. Important Safety Information

197

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

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.

A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid

device compatibility. When some wireless phones 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.

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:

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and phones 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 phone and hearing devices to determine usability

rating categories for both.

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.

Ⅲ Any other area where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist

hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with

their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for

compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been

rated have a label located on the box. Your Samsung Rant™

(SPH-M540) has an M4 and T4 rating.

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

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 phone with a higher rating may still

cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying

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.

Section 4A. Important Safety Information

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to

evaluate it for your personal needs.

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: www.fcc.gov,

www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements

for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (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.)

Getting the Best Hearing Device

Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to

interference noise from wireless phones and 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:

ⅷ

Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to

ensure the minimum time interval:

1. Select

> Settings > Display > Backlight.

2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press

Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from

your hearing aid.

Move the phone around to find the point with least

interference.

ⅷ

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.

ⅷ

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 phone, you will

have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is

synonymous for T ratings.

Sprint 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.

Section 4A. Important Safety Information

Body-Worn Operation

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

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.

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

watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web

site at www.fcc.gov.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP

standards described below.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF

energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.

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

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.

Measurements (NCRP).

Section 4A. Important Safety Information

201

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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
