failure to use a Sprint-approved or Samsung-

approved battery and charger may increase the

risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or

explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death,

or property damage.

Tip: Watch your device’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and

GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The

following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve

your battery power:

ꢁ

Incorrect

ⅷ Reduce your backlight on time. (See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 69.)

Correct

ⅷ Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 142.)

Charger/Accessory Jack

Always use a Sprint-approved or Samsung-approved

desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power

adapter to charge your battery.

2A. Device Basics

ⅷ Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi

On and Off” on page 177.)

ⅷ Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware

functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,

Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting. (See

“Adding and Removing Widgets” on page 35.)

ⅷ Turn 4G off when not in use. (See “Turning 4G On

and Off” on page 180.)

ⅷ Check the Battery use screen to review what features

or functions have been consuming your battery

resources. (See “Viewing Battery Use” on page 70.)

ⅷ Turn off Sprint Hotspot (Wi-Fi hotspot) services when

not in use. This is one of the largest drains on your

battery as it is not only transmitting a Wi-Fi

connection to your devices but is also doing it while

using a 4G connection. (See “Sprint Mobile Hotspot”

on page 181.)

ⅷ Check the Running Services and close any

unnecessary applications. (See “Manage Running

Services” on page 84.)

ⅷ Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most

applications using this function will periodically query

the GPS satellites for your current location; each

query drains your battery. (See “Activating Location

Mode” on page 211.)

ⅷ Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown

background applications that are still running. These

minimized applications can, over time, cause your

device to “slow down”. (See “Using the Task

Manager” on page 84.)

ⅷ Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted

before charging your device. Repeating this process

of a complete discharge and recharge can over time

reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

ⅷ Animated wallpapers use processing power,

memory, and more power. Change your Live

Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or

Gallery image. (See “Changing the Display Screen”

on page 70.)

ⅷ Turn off Automatic application sync. (See

spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the

power off and remove the battery.

ⅷ Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended

periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).

ⅷ 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.

approved in this document could void your warranty for this

equipment and void your authority to operate this

equipment.

This phone guide contains important operational and

safety information that will help you safely use your

phone. Failure to read and follow the information

provided in this phone guide may result in serious

bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized

personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure

to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

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.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint

Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2

on your phone.

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.

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.

4A. Important Safety Information

223

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

Please Note the Following Information When Using Your

Handset

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.

1. WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY

Ⅲ The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic

and could break if your handset is dropped or if it

receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken

or cracked as this could cause injury to you.

Turn your 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:

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 If your handset has a touchscreen display, please note

that a touchscreen responds best to a light touch from

the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using

excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the

touchscreen may damage the tempered glass surface

and void the warranty. For more information, please refer

to the “4B. Manufacturer’s Warranty” on page 229.

Ⅲ Any other area where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or

explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains

your phone or accessories.

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your

battery’s performance.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP

standards described below.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with

respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120

scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,

Ⅲ Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

Ⅲ More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

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).

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.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if

you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or

Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn

accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure

the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your

body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved

accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-D700 are:

Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.68 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.99 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 0.44 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.77 W/kg

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website

at www.fcc.gov.

4G:

Body-worn: 0.53 W/kg

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

FCC Radio Frequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission

Guidelines.

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF

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

FCC ID number: A3LSPHD700.

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
