Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

To turn your phone on:

ᮣ

Press and release

Once your phone is on, it may display “Looking for Service,” which

indicates 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, a

Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your

phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without

your intervention. You can also initiate a search for service by pressing any

Press and hold

for two seconds until you see the powering-

down animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Use only Qwest-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and

chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Qwest-approved or

manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk

that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in

serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Warning!

Battery Capacity

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

3.8 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When

there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an

audible alert and then powers down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and

browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Note:

Tip:

Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

To install the Li-Ion battery:

1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone at a 45-

degree angle, making sure to line up the gold contacts. Gently press

down until it snaps into place.

2. Install the protective cover by lining up the tabs at an angle

and gently sliding the cover upward until it snaps into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery:

1. Remove the protective cover by pressing on the back of the cover

and sliding it downward.

2. Grip the battery at the bottom and pull up and out at a 45-degree

angle.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon

as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level

becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all

the information you were just working on. 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 is

getting too low, the battery icon (

warning tone.

) blinks and the phone sounds a

Always use a Qwest-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle

power adapter to charge your battery.

Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

Warning!

Using the Travel Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

ᮣ

Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s power

interface connector and the other end into an electrical outlet.

Ⅲ A charging icon located in the top right corner of the outside

LCD lets you know the battery is charging.

Ⅲ An onscreen indicator lets you know that the battery is

charged.

It takes about three hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery.

For connection to an electrical supply not located in the U.S., you must

use an adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet. Use of

the wrong adapter could damage your phone and void your warranty.

manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless

transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable

that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided

with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase

the connector cable.

When establishing your wireless service, please call Qwest via the state

WARNING

Qwest recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by

other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services

(TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless

TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public

safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some

communications unintelligible. The problem encountered

This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and

the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently

working to resolve this.

Understanding Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off

your home network. Your new digital dual-band a640 by Samsung®

works anywhere on your home network and allows you to roam on other

1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where agreements have been

implemented with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let

you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off your

home network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming

icon (

Remember, when you are using your phone off your home network,

always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Tip:

You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note:

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will

be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on your home

Section 2D : Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off your home network, you will not receive on-

messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new

messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your wireless phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

Dial” on page 117 for details.)

Using Voice Dial

Voice Dial allows you to dial any valid seven- or ten-digit North American

phone number or Contacts entry by speaking the number or name

naturally, without pausing.

Tips for using Voice Dial:

ⅷ

Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.

ⅷ

When saying a number (Digit Dialing), speak at a normal speed and

say each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

ⅷ

The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, and zero or oh. The phone does not recognize numbers

such as “one eight hundred” for “1-800.” Instead, say “one-eight-

zero-zero.”

ⅷ

The phone recognizes only valid seven- or ten-digit North American

phone numbers.

If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are

using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which can

significantly improve accuracy for some speakers. (See “Adapting Digit

To place a call using Voice Dial:

phone number naturally and clearly, or say a name from your

Contacts.

4. If the phone asks you, “Did you say,” followed by the correct name or

number, say Yes.

4. Select Digit Dialing and press

5. Press the navigation key up or down to select Automatic, Always

116

Adapting Digit Dial

Digit Dialing is speaker-independent, which means that no training or

adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice

characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker-

independent Digit Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to

dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get

acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to

performing the Adapt Digit adaptation.

After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your voice.

Other people will not be able to use Digit Dial on your phone unless they

reset the phone to factory defaults.

Adapt Digit Dial ONLY if the system frequently misrecognizes your

speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.

Note:

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the system

your voice. The adaptation process takes about three minutes.

Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

ⅷ

Adapt digits in a quiet place.

Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if there

is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can say or select

No when the prompt asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will then

be prompted to rerecord the sequence.

noises), say Yes.

Ⅲ If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any problems, say No.

(The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)

7. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again. (Repeat this step

until you are satisfied with the recording.)

8. After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the recording

process with the next set of digits.

9. Repeat steps 8-10 for another nine sets of digits.

10. When you are finished with a full session, you will reach a screen

that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision

This section will help you learn the basics of using your

Sprint PCS Vision services, including managing your user name, launching

a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you're automatically

assigned a user name, which is typically based on your name and

a number, followed by “@qwest.sprint.com.” (For example, if your

phone number is 555-123-4567, your user name will be

[email protected].)

When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your user name is submitted to

identify you to your home network. The user name is also useful as an

virtual identity.

Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You

don't have to enter it.

Finding Your User Name

If you aren't sure what your user name is, you can easily find it on your

phone.

General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and Speak directly

into the mouthpiece.

ⅷ

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does

get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be

broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.

Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document

could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this

equipment.

For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should

service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous

and void your warranty.

Note:

192

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 and/or mobile phone features are in

use. Check with your local service provider for details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is

prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety

always comes first.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given

area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference

or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,

RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating

systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or

their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF

signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to

your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and

hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Note:

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with

aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to

have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.

To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the

plane is in the air.

193

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or

in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction

crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an

explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not

always, clearly marked. They include:

ⅷ

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.

ⅷ

Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.

Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or

explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone

or accessories.

Note:

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves

and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your invoice.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device

Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless

phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users

may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune

than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference

they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to

assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing

devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated will have an “M3” or

“M4” rating on the box. Your SPH-a640 by Samsung has an M3 rating.

Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/

higher of the two ratings.

Note:

The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone and

hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your hearing

device and degree of your hearing loss.

The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience

interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings

similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids. Most

new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing

aid and your phone to determine probable usability:

ⅷ

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

Any combined rating equal to four is considred usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of

six for “best use.”

Qwest further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3 or

M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should

you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With

Your Phone

To further minimize interference:

ⅷ

There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than the telecoil setting.

Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time

interval:

ⅷ

195

1. Press Menu > Settings > Display > Backlight.

2. Select Main Display or Keypad and press

3. Select the minimum time setting (8 seconds) and press

ⅷ

Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded antennae may produce

more interference.

ⅷ

Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.

Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

ⅷ

Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries

overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these

reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown

or questionable manufacturing standards. Qwest is not aware of similar problems with

Qwest phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by

Qwest or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Qwest- or manufacturer-approved

batteries and accessories found through your phone’s manufacturer, or online at

www.qwestwireless.com/accessories. Buying the right batteries and accessories

is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.

ⅷ

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32°

F to 113° F (0° C

to 45° C).

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the

bathroom.

ⅷ

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:

ⅷ

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest 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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and

transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your

call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital

mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American

National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels

with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and

physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this

updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In

August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE

standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and

Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your

body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn

accessory. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure

guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.

199

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the

head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring, and calculation

process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested

at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone

can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of

factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors.

What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.

Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of

safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not

mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are

considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the A640 are:

AMPS/CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 1.23 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.401 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 1.44 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.596 W/kg
