Turning Your Phone ON and OFF
Turning Your Phone ON
To turn your phone on, press <End> for approximately two
seconds.
Once your phone is ON, it displays “Looking for Service (??)”
indicating that your phone is searching for a signal. When your
phone finds a signal, it automatically enters Standby mode – the
phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making
and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, the Power Save mode is automatically activated.
When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to
Standby mode.
In the Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a
search for Sprint PCS service by pressing any key (when your
phone is turned ON).
Tip:
The Power Save mode helps to conserve your battery power when
you are in an area where there is no signal.

Using and Charging the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides approximately 2.9 hours of
continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or approximately
168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15 hours in
analog).
Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level gets
too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you
know by blinking an empty battery icon ( ), sounding an
audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue
to operate the phone without charging, the phone will turn off
automatically (after a three to five minute delay). If this
happens, your call will end.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
Browser use affect the battery’ s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to charge your phone’ s battery and watch your indicator to
ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these
steps to install it:
1. Place the battery on the back of the phone with the top of the
battery about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch from the battery latch.
2. Gently push the battery toward the top of the phone until it
snaps into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding <End> so
you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery release latch and slide the battery away from the latch.
3. Lift the battery away from the phone.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You
should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin
using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s
display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon
( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved desktop charger, travel
charger or cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.
Using the Travel Adapter
Plug the connector of the supplied travel adapter into the serial
connector at the bottom of your phone, and then into the AC
wall outlet.
When the travel adapter is plugged in and charging the phone,
the phone displays a charging light and the battery icon starts to
blink. The phone can still be used while it is plugged into the
travel adapter, but this will cause the phone to charge more
slowly. To quickly charge the phone, turn the power off.

Understanding Roaming
In This Section
. Understanding How Roaming Works
. Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
. Setting an Alert When Roam Charges Apply (Call Guard)
. Setting Ringer for Roaming Calls
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off
the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band
Sprint PCS phone works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide
Network and allows you to roam on analog and digital networks
virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is
available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features
that let you manage your roaming experience.
Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is
operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your
phone.
Tip: Remember, when you’ re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive
when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may
not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS
Wireless Web.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless
Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls.
You will experience a few differences including:
. You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out
and dropped calls.
. Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS
Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and
direct international dialing, are unavailable.
. There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
. Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Tip: If you’ re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter
an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS phone allows you to control your ability to
roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you determine which
signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band mode
phone to control your roaming experience:
1. Press <Menu> for the Main menu.
2. Press <8> for Setup and then <9> for Others.
3. Press <6> for Roaming and then <1> for Set Mode. Using the navigation key, scroll to
select:
. Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When
Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, it searches for an
alternative system.
. Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS
Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other
networks.
. Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog
roaming system. The previous setting is restored the next
time the phone is turned on.
4. Press <OK> to Save.
Setting an Alert When Roam Charges Apply (Call Guard)
In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when
roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage
your roaming charges by reminding you when you make or
receive roaming calls. It also requires you to take additional
steps before placing or answering a roaming call. These
additional steps are not required when you make or receive calls
while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
To turn the Call Guard feature on or off:
1. Press <Menu> for the Main menu.
2. Press <8> for Setup and then <9> for Others.
3. Press <6> for Roaming and then Press <2> for Call Guard. Wait briefly until a message
prompt displays and then disappears from the display
screen.
4. Select Yes or No, and press <OK>.
. If the Yes option is chosen, an extra step is required to make
or take roaming calls.
. If the No option is chosen, no extra step is required to make
or take roaming calls.
To place the roaming calls with the Call Guard on:
1. From the Main menu (really???? not Standby mode??), dial 1
+ area code + the seven-digit number. (You can also initiate a
call from the Internal Phone Book, Call History or Sprint PCS
Web Messages) and press <Talk>.
2. A message is displayed indicating that roaming rate applies.
Press <1> to place the call.
To answer incoming roaming calls with the Call Guard on:
Remember if the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take
extra steps to make and receive roaming calls even if you have
selected the Analog setting.
To set the time and date in Analog mode:
The time and date are set automatically by the Sprint PCS
network. If you are outside your coverage area and are in analog
mode, the time and date are not automatically updated. To set
the time and date in analog mode, see "Set Time".
Setting Ringer for Roaming Calls
You can select a distinctive ringer type for incoming roaming
calls.
1. Press <Menu> for the Main menu.
2. Press <8> for Setup and then <2> for Sounds.
3. Press <2> for Ringer Type and then Press <4> for Roam Ringer.
4. Press the navigation key left or right to choose Distinctive or
Normal.
5. Press <OK>.

Voice Command technology, reaching your friends, family, coworkers
and teammates has never been easier – especially when
you’re on the go.
With Sprint PCS Voice Command:
. You can store all your contact’s phone numbers, so you can
simply say the name of the person you want to call.
. There’s no need to punch in a lot of numbers, memorize
voicemail passwords or try to dial while you’re driving.
. You can call anyone in your address book – even if you don’t
remember their phone number.
It’s Easy To Start
Just dial <*> <2> <Talk> from your Sprint PCS phone to
activate the service. You can also dial <*> <Talk> to go through a
Sprint PCS Voice Command tutorial directly from your phone.
Create Your Own Address Book
You can program up to 250 names into your address book and
with the advanced technology of Sprint PCS Voice Command –
you can have instant access to all of them.
There are four ways to update your address book:
fully functional Web-based address book to create and
update your contacts.
. Use an Existing Address Book: Upload your contacts from
Microsoft® Outlook,® Microsoft Excel and other personal
information software into your address book for no additional charge.
. Call Directory Assistance: If you don’t have a computer or
Internet access handy, you can have Sprint PCS Directory
Assistance look up phone numbers for you and
automatically add them to your address book. Just say, “Call
operator,” and we’ll add two names and numbers to your
address book for our standard directory assistance charge.
. Use Voice Recordings: Simply dial <*> <Talk> and say, “Add
name.” You will then be asked to say the name and number

wireless phone,” “Call 555-1234” or “Look up Bob.”
3. The number will automatically be dialed. Keep in mind that
Sprint PCS Voice Command recognizes not only your voice,
but any voice, so others can experience the same
convenience if they use your phone.

. Call History Options
. Erasing Call History
The Call History helps you manage your time more effectively.
It keeps track of incoming calls, calls made from your Sprint
PCS phone and missed calls. This section guides you through
accessing and making the most of your Call History.
Viewing Call History (Incoming, Outgoing and Missed)
You’ll find your Call History invaluable. It is a list of the last 10
phone numbers or the internal Phone Book entries for calls you
placed, received or missed. Call History makes redialing a
number fast and easy. It is continually updated as new numbers
are added to the beginning of the list and the oldest entries are
removed from the bottom of the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and the
internal Phone Book entry name (if the phone number is in your
internal Phone Book). Duplicate calls (same number and type of
call) may only appear once on the list.
To view a Call History entry:
1. Press <Menu> for the Main menu.
2. Select 1:Calls.
3. Select 1:Missed, 2:Outgoing, or 3:Incoming. The selected calls
list displays.

selected calls list, scroll to highlight the desired phone number
in the list, press <OK> and then press <Menu> to view the following
options:
. Talk to call the phone number.
Note: You cannot make calls from Call History to entries identified as
No ID or Restricted. Calls labeled Data or Fax can only be dialed through a
personal computer.
. Save to save the sender’s phone number (if the number is
not already stored in your internal Phone Book). To complete
storing the number in your internal Phone Book after
selecting Save option, proceed to step 5 in "Adding a New
Entry to Internal Phone Book".
Note: You cannot save phone numbers already in your internal Phone
Book or from calls identified as No ID or Restricted.
. Show entry appears instead of Save if the number is already
stored in your Phone Book and shows the Phone Book entry
for the phone number.
. Prepend to add numbers to the beginning of the phone
number. This feature is useful when you need to make a call

By now you’ve discovered the great features that come with
your Sprint PCS phone. Now it’s time to experience the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web. Let the adventure begin.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web
With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and your wireless Internetready
phone, you have access to many features via the wireless
Internet:
. Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you to view
specially-designed versions of popular web sites.
. Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail lets you send and receive
email quickly and easily.
. AOL Instant Messenger Service lets you keep in touch with
family and friends via two-way instant messaging.
. With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Short Mail, you can use a
person’s Sprint PCS phone number to send instant text
messages to their Internet-ready Sprint PCS phone – and
they can send messages to you.
. Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates let you receive daily
information updates, including weather, stock quotes and
sports scores.
. Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection lets you connect to the
Internet or your company's network with a laptop PC or
handheld computing device and a Sprint PCS Wireless
WebTM Connection Kit.
Note: Sprint PCS Wireless Web service will not work when roaming off
the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and may not be available in select
affiliate areas.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a Browser, which allows you
to access up-to-the minute information through the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed versions of popular Internet
sites, including Yahoo!®, Amazon.com®, The Weather Channel®
and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your
phone is different than using a home computer because sites
display specialized text and reduce their graphics.
The Browser connects to the Internet by placing a call. Note that
appears on the display whenever a call is in progress, just as
with a regular voice call. Service charges vary depending on
your service option.
Launching Sprin Wireless Web Browser
To launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser:
1. Press <Menu> for the Main menu.
2. Select 4:WirelessWeb.
Phone prompt states: “Charges will apply to Browser calls.
Start Wireless Web?”
3. Press <OK> to launch the MiniBrowser. The first time you use
the Browser, you'll be prompted to enable the security
feature. This automatic process will take 3–6 minutes to
complete and it occurs just once. When the process is
completed, you're ready to start using the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web.
Following the security setup, you'll see the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Home Page. This is the main page for the
Browser and it gives you access to all the sites in the Sprint
PCS Wireless Web. The next time you use the Browser, you
may not see the home page at first because the Browser will
display the page you were viewing when you last exited the
Browser.

OK MENU
Note: The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page is subject to change.
You may notice that sometimes the Browser will launch without
placing a call. This is because the phone stores recently viewed
pages in its memory cache. The Browser will connect
automatically when you access a page that's not stored in the
cache. This reduces the wireless web usage times.
If the phone has been inactive for a while and a new wireless
Internet site has not been requested, the Browser will
automatically disconnect. The Browser will remain active – only
the connection will end. The Browser will automatically
reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not
stored in the phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may
find that you are billed for several network connections within a
single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize
airtime charges.
When launching the Browser, you may need to take an extra
step or see a reminder that Browser calls will be charged. (See
"Web Guard" for more information.)
Using Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Using the Browser is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here
are some tips for navigating the Sprint PCS Wireless Web:
Scrolling
As with other parts of your phone's menu, you'll have to scroll
up and down to see everything on some wireless Internet sites.
. Scroll up or down to view line by line. You can also use the
volume keys on the side of your phone to quickly scroll one
page at a time rather than one line at a time.
Tip: The tenth item in a numbered list may be selected by pressing <0>
on your phone’ s keypad, even though the number 0 doesn’ t appear on the
screen.
Going to a Wireless Internet Site
From the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page, you can go to a
wireless Internet site simply by highlighting the desired site
name and activating with the <Back> key. Note that the list of
wireless Internet sites extends beyond one page.
. Select More… to see additional site listings.
. To access a site that does not appear on the Home Page, use
the Go To… function (of the Home Page). You'll be
required to enter the URL (site address) for the site you want
name. Only HTML and WML sites are accessible.
Going Back
To go back one page, press <Back>.
Entering Text
Some wireless Internet sites require that you enter text using
your phone's keypad. See "Entering Characters Using T9 Text

Setting Up a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection
Getting Started
Your wireless Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone allows you to
connect to a laptop PC, hand-held or palm-sized computing
device to send and receive e-mail, access the Internet or your
company’s network and more, without searching for a wall-mounted
telephone jack. In just three steps, you can use your
connectivity:
1. First, you’ll need a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit
(sold separately).
2. Connect your laptop PC to your Sprint PCS Phone by using
the serial data cable. The cable adapter will connect to a
handheld or palm-sized computing device.
3. Finally, take a few minutes to install the Sprint PCS DialerSM
software onto your computer using your CD.
. For complete details on how to install and use the software,
refer to the user guide in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Connection Kit you purchased.
Note: You will not have to install the Sprint PCS Dialer for Palm® or
HPC/Windows CE.
Placing a Data Call
To place a data call while you’re connected to the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web:
1. First, make sure the cable is connected properly.
2. Open the Sprint PCS Dialer application on your computer
and place the call.
. The phone displays the number your computer is calling
and a “connecting” message is displayed.
. Once the call successfully connects, your phone’s display
shows you information on the status of the data call.
Receiving Sprint PCS Wireless Web Calls
Most users use the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection to place
outgoing data/fax calls. But you can also set up your Sprint PCS
Phone to receive (host) data and fax calls. Because each phone
model is different, the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit
doesn't include instructions for how to set up your phone to
receive data and fax calls. Here's the procedure to set up your
Sprint PCS Phone to receive a (mobile-terminated) data or fax
call:
1. Select the menu option to enable incoming data/fax calls.
Note that incoming voice calls are not possible when your
Sprint PCS Phone is set to receive data/fax calls.
2. Once you've received the incoming data/fax call, you may
want to return the phone to its normal state by disabling
incoming data/fax calls.
Using Special Features During a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Call
Your phone gives you the ability to use special features while
you’re on a Sprint PCS Wireless Web call. They are outlined
below:
. Caller ID: Just like your phone stores regular Caller ID
numbers, it also stores the numbers of incoming Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection calls. To distinguish between the
two types of calls, “Data” or “Fax” displays along with the
number of the caller when you view your Caller ID records.
Note: Caller ID is not available on Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser calls.
. Call Waiting: If someone tries to reach you while you’re
connected to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web, your phone
behaves like it is turned OFF. Depending on your service,
callers may get your voicemail. Call Waiting is automatically
deactivated whenever you place or receive a Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection call.
. Accessing features: You can still access most of your phone’s
features while you’re connected on a Sprint PCS Wireless
Web Connection Call. You can navigate the phone’s menu
system to change or view your phone’s features or phone
book entries. You can also read messages or view the Caller
ID records that you received before placing the call.
Ending a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Call
It’s important to note that some of the normal ways to end a call
won’t work with the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection calls.
You should always close the connection through the application
on your computer. Your phone will then return to Standby
mode.

Using the Voice Services of Your
Sprint PCS Phone
In This Section
. Using Voice-Activated Dialing
. Using Voice Memo
This section explains the features associated with your phone’s
voice services. The easy-to-follow instructions explain how to
make calls or go to a menu by simply speaking a command. You’ll
also learn how to record memos and personal ringers.
Using Voice-Activated Dialing
Your phone features voice-activated dialing. You can call up to
10 stored entries by speaking the individual’s or company’s
name into the microphone. Using the voice-activated dialing
option requires that you first program the phone to recognize
the name of the individual or company you are calling.
Tips on recording names
. Avoid recording similar names phonetically. If you record a
name similar to one that is already stored in a voice-dial
memory, the phone requests another name.
. Avoid recording in a noisy place.
. Speak clearly and naturally.
. Avoid very long or very short names. Names with two to
five syllables are recommended.
. If a voice dial entry does not properly connect, you may
need to record the name and number again.
Note: Record Voice Dial tags in a quiet environment and without the aid of
an accessory (for example, a headset or hands-free car kit).
Programming the Phone for Voice Dialing
Programming your phone for voice activated dialing is easy. The
phone provides voice prompts and screen displays to guide you
through the recording process. To program the phone for voice
activated dialing:
1. From the Main menu, select 8:Voice Tools.
2. Select 1:Voice Dial.
3. Select 1:Record. The phone will prompt you to say the name
you want to program.
4. Wait for the beep and then say the name. For best results, use
names with at least two syllables, or use both a first and last
name. The phone stores the name as a “first” sample, and
then prompts you to say the name again.
5. Respond to the prompt by repeating the name after the beep
exactly as you did the first time. The phone stores the name
as a second sample and then requests the phone number.
6. Enter the phone number on the keypad.
7. To store the phone number, press <OK>. The number you
entered displays, along with the voice notification ‘Added’.
If the number you entered matches a name/number already
stored in your internal Phone Book, then the name also
displays.
8. The screen then returns to the Voice Dial menu.

Placing a Call Using Voice Dial
To place a call if Voice Dial is inactive:
1. Open the phone.
2. Press and hold down <#>.(???)
3. At the voice prompt, say the name into the phone.
. The phone automatically places the call if it recognizes the
name.
. If the phone does not recognize the name, it says “Who
would you like to call?” again and prompts “Locating
Name.”
. If the phone is unable to recognize the name after two
attempts, it says “The name cannot be recognized” and
prompts “Cannot recognize name. Please check name.” The
phone returns automatically to standby mode, and you can
try the call again later.

. Caring for the Battery
. Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
. Owner's Record
. User Guide Proprietary Notice
Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS PhoneTM is
knowing where and how it works at optimum efficiency. This
section outlines performance and safety guidelines that ensure you
experience the full quality your Sprint PCS Phone was designed to
give you.
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current strength by
displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more
bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being
near a window may give you better reception.
Understanding Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is on, it
periodically rechecks service availability or you can check yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to Standby mode.
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 0.514 watts in digital
mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS 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).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
. Hold the phone with the antenna up, fully-extended and over your
shoulder.
. Try not to ever hold, bend or twist the phone antenna.
. Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
. Speak directly into the mouthp89.8(o)17.9.7(e)8(o)(.)37.7( )]TJ/TT6 1 Tf8.76 0 0 8.76 82.68 6 8.7401 Tm0.004 1 1 sc-0.0052 Tc0 Tw(. )Tj/TT4 1 Tf8.2

inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its 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.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
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 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 often use remotecontrol
RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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 engine
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the
phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
. Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop chargers.
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other
batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
. In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
. More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint PCS-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.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity
to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the
phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For
a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales
Division.
Cautions
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. Only use approved batteries,
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and voids the phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.
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.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only
belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm.
separation distance between the user's body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of
belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy
these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.
Specific Absorption Rate (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 that 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.
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. FCC
ID number: A3LSPHA620. More information on the phone’s SAR can be
found from the following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
Owner's Record
The model number, regulatory number and serial number are located

Terms and Conditions & Warranty
Information
In This Section
. Terms and Conditions of Services
. Manufacturer’s Warranty
T
his section contains the Terms and Conditions of Services and
the manufacturer’s warranty for your Sprint PCS PhoneTM.
Terms and Conditions of Services
Thanks for choosing to connect with Sprint PCS. These terms and
conditions are part of your agreement with Sprint PCS for Sprint
Personal Communication Services.
For the most current version of the terms and conditions, please visit
1-888-211-4PCS, because the terms and conditions included with your
Sprint PCS PhoneTM may not be the most current version. If you
activated Sprint PCS Services before the effective date of these terms
and conditions, these terms and conditions replace and supersede any
previous terms and conditions.
If you have questions about your Sprint PCS Services, call Sprint PCS
Customer Care at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727) or visit our Web site at
Agreement
Your agreement (“Agreement”) with Sprint Spectrum L.P. and any of its
affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS providing Sprint Personal
Communications Services (“Services”) to you is made up of these Terms
and Conditions of Service (“Terms”) and the Service Plan that we agree
to provide you. Your “Service Plan” is described in our marketing
materials, and includes the rates and features we set for that Service
Plan. We use the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “Sprint PCS” to refer to
Sprint Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS in
these Terms. When you activate Services or attempt to use our Services
(including, without limitation, attempting to place a call on the Sprint
PCS Network or off the Sprint PCS Network when roaming, including
“911” or similar calls), you accept the Agreement.
Provision of Service
Your purchase of Sprint PCS phones or other equipment does not mean
that we must provide Services to you. We may decide not to provide
Services to you for any lawful reason. We may request that you provide
us with any information we reasonably require to determine whether
you qualify for Services. Services in some areas are managed and
provided under contract with Sprint PCS by independent affiliates with
access to the Sprint PCS Network. Some Services may not be available
or may operate differently in certain affiliate markets.
Credit Verification
You must have and keep satisfactory credit to receive and continue to
receive Services. We will verify your credit before agreeing to provide
Services to you and we may verify your credit at any time while we
provide Services to you. Credit verification may include a review of
credit reports that we receive from commercially available credit
bureaus. We may require a guarantee of payment by an individual or
entity approved by us. If at any time we determine, in our sole
discretion, that payment for Services may not be made when due, we
may suspend Services to your phone and require that you provide
payment on account or a guarantee of payment before we resume
Services to your phone.
Changes to Agreement
We may change this Agreement at any time (but see Service Plan). Any
changes to the Terms are effective when we publish the revised terms. If
you use our Services or make any payment to us on or after the effective
date of the changes, you accept the changes. If you do not accept the
changes, you may terminate Services (but see Termination and
Changing Service Plans). For purposes of the Agreement, “use” includes
keeping the right to access the Sprint PCS Network by not terminating
Services. You may not modify the Agreement except for your Service
Plan (see Termination and Changing Service Plans).
Service Plan
You may be eligible for a fixed length Service Plan (“Term Service Plan”)
or for a month-to-month Service Plan (“Non-Term Service Plan”). We
determine the Service Plan for which you qualify. We may offer nonidentical
Service Plans to different individuals or entities. Services and
coverage under some Service Plans may be more limited than available
under other Service Plans. Your Service Plan sets out the charges for
Services and is your Service Plan until that Service Plan is changed, you
switch to a different Service Plan, or your Services terminate. Your
Service Plan may require that you make a deposit, prepayment, or a
series of deposits or prepayments, or be subject to an account spending
limit, before Services are activated or maintained.
Changing Service Plans
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan, you may change to a different
Service Plan for which you qualify. Any change is effective at the start of
your next full invoicing cycle unless otherwise specified by us at the
time that you place your change order. If you change or add a different
Service Plan or service feature and the change is effective prior to the
start of your next full invoicing cycle, you will be invoiced a prorated
amount. We may require a service charge for implementing any change
directed by you as well as the Service Plan or optional service features
you select. If you are on a Term Service Plan, your ability to change to
another Service Plan may be limited and we may require you to pay a
termination fee as set out in your Service Plan.
Use of Services and Equipment; Availability
You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe to our Services. We may
require you to provide proof of your age and identity. If you are under
18 years old you may be eligible for certain Services that have Account
Spending Limits if a person 18 years or older is also named as a
subscriber on the Account. Services and equipment may not be used for
any unlawful, fraudulent or abusive purpose. By requesting Services,
you agree that you will not use Services and equipment in any
unlawful, fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease
Services or equipment to anyone. Services are available within the
operating range of the Sprint PCS Network. Coverage and quality of
Services may be affected by conditions within or beyond our control,
including atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions. We do
not guarantee that there will be no interruptions or delays in Services.
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ will not accept the services of any wireless
provider other than Sprint PCS (but see Roaming).
Number
We assign a phone number (“Number”) to the phone or other
equipment used by you on the Sprint PCS Network. We may change the
Number without compensation by giving you prior notice. You do not
own the Number. You may not modify the Number we program into
any phone or other equipment.
Phone Activation Fee
You may be required to pay a non-refundable phone activation fee when
you activate a new Number, have us switch a Number to a different
phone, we activate a different phone on your existing account or your
Service Plan says so. Details on any applicable phone activation fee are
set out in your Service Plan or can be obtained by calling Sprint PCS
Customer Care.
Charges
For most forms of wireless Service, your usage will be charged from the
time you first initiate contact between your phone or other wireless
device and the network until the network connection is broken, whether
or not you are successful in connecting with the service with which you
seek to connect, even if the connection is later broken or dropped. An
exception is that you are not charged for voice calls that are not
completed. You are charged for completed calls to your Number from
the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is
terminated by either party. You will be charged peak rates for the entire
duration of calls initiated during the peak time periods applicable to
your Service. You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration
of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods applicable to your
Service. In addition to these usage charges, you may be charged for
recurring monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance
toll charges, other usage charges, connection fees, roaming charges,
directory assistance, call completion charges, optional features you
select at an extra cost, and taxes and other regulatory related charges.
Charges for most Services are incurred in one-minute increments, with
partial minutes of use rounded up to the next highest minute. You must
pay, by each invoice due date, all charges for Services provided to the
Number for each phone or other equipment that our records show you
activated, no matter who actually uses or has possession of the phone or
other equipment at the time Services are provided.
Voice Command
Sprint PCS Voice CommandSM is an optional service that allows you to
place calls by using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or
similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice
Command feature. Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a
call completed from your Number using the Voice Command feature
begin when you press or activate the TALK or similar keys and end
when your call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to
the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and complete another call
without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate charge for
that call will begin from the time the previous call was terminated.
Airtime and applicable long distance charges will be applied to the
entire length of a completed call initiated from Voice Command. Using
Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice Command address
book will incur additional charges. Details on charges for the Voice
Command feature can be found in the marketing materials for this
Customer Care.
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length. Invoicing cycles
and dates may change from time to time. Except as otherwise provided
in your Service Plan, monthly recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced
one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for Services are usually
invoiced as soon as possible after the charges accrue. We may, however,
invoice you for usage and charges occurring before the invoicing cycle
being invoiced, if they were not previously invoiced. If you are invoiced
for usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be
applied to your Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle.
However, if you change your Service Plan between the time the usage
was incurred and the beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those
minutes from the prior invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per
minute for usage over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in
effect at the time the usage was incurred.
Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit
card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or consent is
required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for
all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third party. You must
promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing address or of the
credit card or bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to
require payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured form
of payment. If we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing you
for charges for Services or equipment, you must pay our costs and
expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, the fees
of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as an invoicing agent
for a third-party service provider, payments received are first applied to
amounts due and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied
to sums due and owing to the third-party service provider. We may
charge an additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument
endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any
reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date shown on
your invoice. Any payment for Services and equipment not made when
due accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at
the highest rate allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each
day that payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly.
Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges invoiced to
you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the
invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by notifying Sprint PCS
Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general business offices are not
notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice procedures are described on the
invoice, you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Services at
any time by giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we
may terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. We may
deactivate any Number before you receive notice of termination
without liability to you. Termination by either of us may be with or
without cause.
Termination. Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan (1) your ability to terminate Services
before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability to change to
another Service Plan before the end of the term may be limited, and may
result in a termination or activation fee, (3) you may be required to pay a
termination fee, (4) we may not terminate Services without cause before
the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause before the
end of the term, you may be required to pay a termination fee. No
termination fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service Plan within
14 days of activation of your Sprint PCS Phone. During the term we
must give each other notice to terminate Services. At and after the
expiration of the term, you may terminate Services at any time by giving
us notice and we may, subject to this Agreement, terminate Services at
any time, with or without notice.
Termination. General.
Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service Plan, we
may terminate or suspend Services to you without liability (1) if you
breach any provision of this Agreement (including if you fail to pay any
charges for Services), or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for
equipment or otherwise. If you promptly cure the breach, we may, but
are not obligated to, reactivate Services to you. You must pay all charges
for (a) Services provided before termination of a Number and (b)
equipment, regardless of who terminates Services. If Services are
terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, (i) the
monthly recurring charge is not prorated to the date of termination, and
(ii) you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes in
your Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account Spending Limit
basis, we will tell you your Account Spending Limit before we start
Services to your Number, or as reasonably practicable after the limit is
imposed. If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services on
an Account Spending Limit basis, we will hold the deposit as partial
guarantee of payment for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services
accrue against your Account Spending Limit as they are incurred. We
may charge an initial ASL start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL
service fee, in addition to your recurring monthly service charge. We
may suspend Services to your Number without prior notice to you
when your account balance reaches your Account Spending Limit.
Services are restored when you have paid any past due balance and pay
a specified minimum amount to reduce your account balance below
your Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount at
any time upon notice to you. You may pay any past due balance and the
minimum amount by any method authorized by Sprint PCS. Call Sprint
PCS Customer Care for information about authorized methods of
making these payments. We may charge you a fee for calls that involve
our live customer care services. If we provide Services to you on an
Account Spending Limit basis, Services and coverage may be limited in
certain ways. You must pay all charges for Services even if they exceed
the amount of your Account Spending Limit.
Deposits
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services, we will hold
the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may
change the deposit amount at any time to reflect revised estimated
monthly charges based upon your usage. A deposit may not be used to
pay any invoice (unless it is used to pay a final invoice) or delay
payment. The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit
and changes to the deposit amount are determined based on your credit
and payment history. The rate of interest on the deposit is subject to
change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If Services are
terminated for any reason, we may, without notice to you, apply your
deposit toward payment of outstanding charges and return any excess
to you at your last known address within 75 days after termination of
Services. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the money to you and
returns it to us, we will hold it for you for one year from the date of
return and, during that period, we may charge a monthly servicing fee
against the deposit balance. Any money held during this one-year
period will not accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion
of the money left after the one-year period.
Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be obtained
through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may not be immediately
available in some Sprint PCS affiliate markets. Use of Wireless Web
Services requires a wireless data compatible phone or certain other
equipment (or both) and is subject to any memory, storage or other
limitation in the phone or other equipment. The Caller ID blocking
feature is not available when using Wireless Web Services. For data calls
(including Wireless Web and Voice Portal calls) that are attempted, but
not completed, you are charged for the time during which the network
attempts to connect the call. You are charged for time spent connected to
the Wireless Web or Voice Portal, including time spent browsing on the
Internet or Voice Portal and reviewing or scrolling through Internet
information on-line while still connected to the Sprint PCS Network.
Not all Internet sites can be accessed and you may receive an error
message if you attempt to access a site that cannot be accessed through
Wireless Web Services. You are also charged for Wireless Web
connections to review your Sprint PCS account information. Wireless
Web Services and Voice Portal data calls may not be available when you
are roaming off the Sprint PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are not
available to you if you are on a Sprint PCS Prepaid Service Plan. If you
receive Services on an Account Spending Limit basis, you may be
limited in the Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services available to you.
Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our website at
information. Specific additional information about Wireless Web
Services and Voice Portal Services, including pricing, included minutes
and combining with other Service Plans, is available in our standard
sales collateral for Sprint PCS Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal
party content that can be accessed through Wireless Web Services or
Voice Portal Services. Sprint PCS is not responsible for any opinions,
advice, statements, services or other information is provided by third
parties and accessible through Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal
Services. Neither Sprint PCS nor its vendors or licensors guarantees the
accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained
through the Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. You are
responsible for evaluating such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by federal, state
or local authorities, or foreign government on Services. We also assess
charges associated with regulatory mandates and obligations, such as
Universal Service and Enhanced 911 service. If you claim any tax
exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.
Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a valid taxexempt
document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of the Sprint
PCS Network are “roaming” calls. Your Sprint PCS phone is specifically
designed and engineered to work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It
works on another CDMA PCS provider’s system only when a roaming
agreement is in place between Sprint PCS and the other provider. If
your Sprint PCS Phone is a dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA
PCS provider’s system (in addition to the Sprint PCS Network) and a
wireless analog telecommunications provider’s system only when
roaming agreements are in place between Sprint PCS and the other
providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may be
able to place roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card. If
there is a gap or other interruption of coverage within a Sprint PCS
coverage area that prevents connection with the Sprint PCS network
and your dual-mode phone is set to roam automatically when outside
Sprint PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a Sprint PCS
coverage area. Certain features are not available when roaming.
Roaming rates may be different from and higher than the rates you pay
for calls within your Sprint PCS Home Service Area and on the Sprint
PCS Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according to the practices
of the roaming service provider. When roaming, you are subject to the
limitation of liability provisions and other applicable rules imposed by
the roaming service provider.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous interruption of Services for more
than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis. Interruptions caused by your
negligent or willful actions, or by failure of equipment or service not
provided by us, or by causes beyond our reasonable control, do not
qualify for credit. We may provide you with an airtime credit of one
minute for a call that is disconnected because of transmission limitations
caused by atmospheric, geographic or topographic conditions and that
you redial within one minute of disconnection. You must notify us
within 24 hours of the disconnection to request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones and other equipment may be purchased and returned as
provided in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of
the phones or other equipment. The only warranties on the phones or
other equipment are any limited warranties extended by the
manufacturers. We have no liability in connection with the phones and
other equipment or for the manufacturers’ acts or omissions.
Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you must notify us by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are responsible for all charges
for Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen equipment
before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will deactivate Services to
the Number upon notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be
required to provide evidence of the loss or theft (for example, a police
report or sworn statement). If the equipment is later found, we may
require that you exchange it for another phone or other equipment
before we reactivate Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as
require you to pay a reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any
Number without prior notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or
fraudulent use of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with
us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned to your
phone, you must call Sprint PCS Customer Care for information about
automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number assigned to your phone can
be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number +
OK, but Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller ID
display on incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving the
information from the calling party.
TTY Access
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications
device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. It is not
possible to use your phone with a TTY.
Pay-Per-Call Service
We will not complete calls from your Number to 900, 976 and similar
numbers for pay-per-call services.
International Calling
You may be limited in the international destinations that you can call
with Services. You should contact Sprint PCS Customer Care for
information about international destinations that you cannot call.
Limitation of Liability
Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole liability to you for
any loss or damage arising out of providing or failing to provide
Services (including mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors, or
defects) does not exceed (1) in cases related to a specific piece of
equipment, the prorated MRC for Services to the piece of equipment
during the affected period, or (2) in cases not related to a specific piece
of equipment, the prorated MRCs for Services to you during the affected
period. Neither we nor our vendors, suppliers or licensors are liable for
any damage arising out of or in connection with:
a) any act or omission of any telecommunications service or other
service provider other than us;
b) any directory listing;
c) any dropped calls or inability to place or receive calls;
d) any interruption of Services, including interruptions caused by
equipment or facilities failure or shortages, transmission limitations or
system capacity limitatio aJ01( )14.8(dc)-8.7(815(8(dc)(of)-)-1(e)5.8(ns)-w[(c518.9( a)6.3t)-18(( )9.5( f )9.5(f )9.5( p)-1.8(5(,)2-13(i)9.5(5(,)2-13tp)-1.8h
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR
IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE
SERVICES, PHONES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR COST OF
REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION
SURVIVES TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Indemnification
You indemnify and defend us, our partners, directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any claim, action, damage,
liability and expense arising out of or in connection with: (1) your acts
or omissions that occur in connection with your use of the Services or
equipment used in connection with the Services, and (2) any
communications you make or receive using the Services. This
indemnification extends to and includes any attorney’s fees and costs
incurred by us arising from any actions or claims to which this
indemnification applies, or from the contesting of the applicability of
this provision. This section survives termination of this Agreement.
ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,
MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY,
RELATED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE SERVICES,
WHETHER BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE CUSTOMER OR
BETWEEN THE COMPANY OR THE CUSTOMER, ON THE ONE
HAND, AND EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED BUSINESSES
OF THE OTHER PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE
RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO
ARBITRATION.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator will be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a
list of qualified people maintained by the AAA. All expedited
procedures prescribed by the AAA rules will apply, and each party will
bear their own costs and attorney’s fees.
No discovery will be permitted, except that the parties will exchange,
thirty days prior to the hearing on their dispute, all documents to be
submitted to the arbitrator, including any reports or summaries, and a
list of the names and addresses of those persons to be called to testify.
Following exchange of this information, the parties may agree to waive
a hearing.
The arbitrator will have authority only to award compensatory
damages and will not have authority to award punitive damages, lost
profits, or other non-compensatory damages. The arbitrator’s decision
and award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
The arbitrator’s decision must not contain findings of fact or
conclusions of law.
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that
is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action
or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other
party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling
arbitration, including attorney’s fees.
Notices
You may get our current address for written notice by calling Sprint PCS
Customer Care. Written notice to you is sent to your last known address
in our invoicing records. Written notice is deemed delivered 3 days after
deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and properly addressed.
Unless required by this Agreement or Applicable Laws, (1) you may
notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care, and (2) we may notify
you by leaving a message for you on your Sprint PCS Phone, answering
machine or with your answering service. Notice addresses may be
changed by giving notice as provided in this section.
Choice of Law; Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by and must be construed under federal
law and the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to choice of law
principles. You agree to submit yourself to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts in the State of Kansas.
General
If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available under this
Agreement, that failure is not a waiver of the right or remedy for any
other breach or failure by the other party. Our waiver of any
requirement in any one instance is not a general waiver of that
requirement and does not amend this Agreement. If any part of this
Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part is interpreted
consistent with Applicable Laws as nearly as possible to reflect the
original intentions of the parties and the rest of this Agreement remains
in full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive purposes
only and are not used to interpret this Agreement. You may not assign
this Agreement to any other person or entity without our prior written
approval. This Agreement (including any referenced documents and
attachments) makes up the entire agreement between you and us and
replaces all prior written or spoken agreements, representations,
promises or understandings between you and us. The provisions of this
Agreement that are contemplated to be enforceable after the termination

The following provisions are not generally applicable and apply

Traveling
If you are making or receiving calls outside you Home Service Area but
on the Sprint PCS Network, you may be charged for Services at a
“travel” rate for both outgoing and incoming traveling calls. Long
distance charges may not be included in the travel rate. Traveling
charges do not apply if you subscribe to a Home Rate USA plan or to
both Toll-Free USA and Home Rate USA. (See Home Rate USA and Toll-
Free USA for more information.) You do not have to register your
Number when traveling outside your Home Service Area.
Home Rate USA
This service lets you make or receive calls from anywhere on the Sprint
PCS Network at your Home Service Area airtime rates.
Toll-Free USA
This service lets you call from anywhere on the Sprint PCS Network to
anywhere in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
and be charged at your Home Service Area airtime rates, with no
additional long distance charges. If you have Home Rate USA but do
not have Toll-Free USA, and if you make a long distance call outside of
your defined local calling area, you are invoiced for the long distance
charges.
