More lines indicate more signal strength. Four lines
indicate maximum strength, and one line indicates least
strength.
Service indicator: This icon indicates a call is in
progress. If there is trouble with signal strength, this
indicator will have a diagonal line through it.
No service indicator: This icon indicates your phone
cannot find a signal because you’re outside a service area.
When this is displayed, you cannot make or receive calls.

place and receive calls where Sprint PCS has roaming
agreements in place, but quality will be similar to calls on
other analog cellular networks. Also, some features of
your phone may not be available in Analog mode.
Vibrating Ringer: This icon indicates that an incoming
call will vibrate the phone rather than ring it. This feature
can be used for quiet situations where you don’t want
your ringer to disturb others or for loud situations where
the ringer cannot be heard.
Battery strength: This icon is always displayed when
your phone is on, and shows the level of your battery
charge. The more black bars you see, the greater the
charge. When the battery becomes very low, an empty
box appears and the phone flashes an alert; this
indicates your phone is about to turn itself off.

cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented
roaming agreements.
When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network,
it’s called roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where
Sprint PCS has agreements in place with digital CDMA or
conventional analog cellular providers, you will pay the
roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where they apply.
Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have roaming
agreements in place, you will still be able to make (but not
receive) calls using a credit card. This is called manual
roaming.

When you use your phone on other CDMA networks, your
calling experience and call quality will be similar to what you
experience when making calls from within the Sprint PCS
Network. Although certain voice-calling features may not be
available, your phone calls are still private and secure.
When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your
experience will be different. Cellular roaming will be similar
to the quality provided by conventional analog cellular
carriers today. Although you will still have the convenience of
being able to make and receive voice calls, here are some
differences you can expect:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out and dropped calls.
Some features (such as Caller ID, Voice Dialing and Voice
Memo) that are standard within the Sprint PCS Network
may not be available.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web and Fax calls cannot be
connected.
You will experience the same security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and phone number cloning) that exist
with conventional analog cellular services today.
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for
cellular roaming than when you use it on a CDMA
network.
If you’re on your phone and leave a Sprint PCS Service Area,
your call will be dropped. When reentering a Sprint PCS
Service Area while on a roaming call, end the call, and then
turn your phone off and on again to acquire Sprint PCS
Service.

When you call automated systems (like banking services),

number. Instead of manually entering the numbers each time,

There are two kinds of pauses that can be entered on your
Sprint PCS Phone:
Hard pause - A hard pause stops the dialing sequence
TALK
until you press the
button.
Two second pause - A two second pause stops the dialing
sequence for two seconds and then automatically sends
the remaining digits.
Your phone has two pause dialing methods: pause dialing
from the Internal Phone Book (see “Pause dialing from a
stored Internal Phone Book entry” on page 45), and manual
pause dialing (see “Manual pause dialing” on page 46).
Note: Multiple two second pauses can be entered to extend
the length of a pause. For example, two consecutive two
second pauses cause a total pause time of four seconds.
However, keep in mind that pauses count as digits towards

Your phone does a great job of telling you about it’s calling
activity and lets you easily return these calls.
Your phone retains these three lists in memory:
Incoming - the last 10 calls placed to your phone.
Outgoing - the last 10 calls placed from your phone.
Missed - the last 10 calls placed to your phone that you
did not answer.
Each entry in the three lists is referred to as a Call Log. Each
Call Log contains the name and phone number (if available),
and a time/date stamp. In case of duplicate entries back-to-
back, the phone consolidates those logs and stores only the
most recent call from or to the same number.
You can also erase your call log lists easily (see “Erasing Call
Logs” on page 100).
In addition to Incoming, Outgoing and Missed lists, your
phone maintains three airtime logs. See “Reviewing airtime”

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency
(RF) signals. When your phone is in use, the system handling
your call controls the power level. This product meets all
FCC requirements for RF power output levels for this handset
type.

In 1991—1992, 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 industry
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 a hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and
the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
The design of the phone complies with these updated
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even
further than the updated standard, you can choose to control
the duration of your calls and operate your phone in the most
power-efficient manner.
Observe the following RF safety precautions when using your
phone:
You should not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
using the phone.
Touching the antenna may affect the call quality and may
cause the unit to operate at higher power than it would
need otherwise.
When using the handset, hold the handset just as you
would hold any other telephone, and keep the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Use of hands-free devices will further limit RF exposure.

Because of various transmission methods, network
parameters, and user settings used to complete a call from
your wireless phone, a connection cannot always be
guaranteed.
Therefore, emergency calling may not be available on all
wireless networks at all times.
DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of
dialing 911 or for any other essential or emergency
communications.
Remember to always turn your phone on and check for
adequate signal strength before placing a call.

To operate your phone properly — that is, to maintain safe
and satisfactory service — you should follow these rules:
Hold the phone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
Do not hold, bend or twist the phone antenna at any
time.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
Speak directly into the microphone.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid!
Only Samsung authorized personnel should service your
phone and its accessories.

You should never use a hand-held phone while driving. It
may divert your attention away from the road and may be
illegal in some states. You should park your vehicle legally
before using your hand-held phone. Remember, safety comes
first.
Your hand-held phone should be stored in a secure place
so that, in the event of a sudden stop or collision with
another vehicle, the phone will not damage property or
injure anyone. For example, airbags inflate very quickly
and with great force. Serious injury may result if you
have placed your phone in the area of deployment of an
air bag and the bag inflates.

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should
always follow any special guidelines in a given area and turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it
may cause interference or danger.

You should turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, 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 and require that your phone must
be turned off.

You must turn off your phone in dangerous areas or any area
where posted notices so require. For example, to avoid
interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews use remote-controlled RF devices to set
off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause
an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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 chemical or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
You must not store or carry your phone, its parts, or
accessories in the same compartment or other area where
there are flammable liquids, gases, or explosive or flammable
materials.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, some electronic equipment
may not be shielded, or adequately shielded, from RF signals.
RF signals from wireless telephones may affect such
equipment.
RF signals from your phone may affect systems in your
vehicle, including improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in
motor vehicles (such as electronic ignition systems,
electronic speed control systems, electronic anti-skid or anti-
lock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and
air bag systems). You should check with the manufacturer of
your vehicle (and the manufacturers of any equipment added
to your vehicle) to determine whether its systems are
adequately shielded from external RF signals and to
determine appropriate safety precautions.
You must 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 and
the appropriate safety precautions to take with such devices
For example safety instructions for pacemakers may include
minimum distances that the phone should be kept from the
pacemaker, areas where the phone should not be kept (for
example, the breast pocket), use of the ear opposite the
pacemaker, and other such safety instructions. The advice
from the manufacturers may change from time to time. If at
any time you suspect any such interference, turn off your
phone immediately.
Turn off the phone in healthcare facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

For best battery performance, you should follow these
guidelines:
Use your battery for its intended purpose only.
Only use Samsung-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will
invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as well.
You must never use a battery charger that is damaged in
any way or worn out.
To avoid damage, only charge the battery in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 104° F.
Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).
When a battery charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).
Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.
Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery, as injuries or burns may result.
You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been
used for a long period of time.
Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be charged hundreds of
times before it will need to be replaced.
Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-
circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may
result.
ꢀꢅꢉ
To avoid damage, do not store the batteries at
temperatures below -4° F or higher than 185° F and avoid
leaving the batteries unused for very long periods of time
without periodic charging. Follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 50° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 35° C)
Note: Damage can occur to Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries if
left uncharged. Li-Ion batteries should not be left with a
charge level below 30%. Fully charge your Li-Ion battery prior
to storing and periodically recharge your Li-Ion batteries.
$CVVGT[ꢁFKURQUCNꢁCPFꢁTGE[ENKPI
You must follow these instructions when disposing of or
recycling the battery:
explode. You must follow the regulations in your area
regarding disposal of batteries.
Do not open or puncture the battery; the released
