UsingYour Phone’s Battery and Charger
BatteryCapacity
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 up to 3.5 hours of
continuous digital talk time (up to 2 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately 5 minutes of
talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.

stored numbers or messages.
2. Press the battery release latch up and remove the
battery from the phone at a 45-degree angle.
ChargingtheBattery
Your Sprint PCS Phone’s LiIon 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
appears and the phone displays a warning message.
Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel
charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Warning: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.

Roamingistheabilitytomakeorreceivecallswhenyou’reoff
theSprintNationwidePCSNetwork. Your new dual
band/tri-mode Multimedia Phone MM-8300 by Sanyo
works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and
800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as
special features that let you manage your roaming
experience.
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience
93
Understanding Roaming
RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will
display along with the text DigitalRoam, and on an analog
system, with the text AnalogRoam.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay
a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features,
such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note: Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available , 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 Nationwide PCS Network.
94
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience
RoamingonAnalogNetworks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can
still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
ⅷ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
ⅷ
Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link, and direct
international dialing, are unavailable.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on
page 96.)
ⅷ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services
today.
ⅷ
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience
95
CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of
new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for
new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an
extended period of time.

system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using
Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it
easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra
step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This
additional step is not required when you make or receive
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)

Getting StartedWith Sprint PCSVision
With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service,
you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of 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 Sprint PCS Vision Phone.
Your User Name
When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision 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
“@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to
sign up for Sprint PCS Vision services might have
[email protected] as his User name.)
When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User name is
submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network. The User name is also useful as an address for
Sprint PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and
as an online virtual identity.
Your User name will be automatically programmed into
your Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don’t have to enter it.

Sprint PCSVision Connection Status and
Indicators
Your phone’s display lets you know the current status of
your Sprint PCS Vision connection through indicators
which appear at the top of the screen. The following
symbols are used:
Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is active (data is
being transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will
blink to indicate data transmission. Incoming voice
calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls can
be made, but the Sprint PCS Vision connection will
terminate.
Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is dormant (no data
is being sent or received). Though not currently
active, when dormant the phone can restart an active
connection quickly; voice calls can be made and
received.

howthephoneworksandhowtocareforit. This section
outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you
understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
297
Getting the Most Out ofYour Reception
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal
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.
UnderstandingthePowerSaveFeature
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 active, it
periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a
message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to standby mode.
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (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.
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety
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).
298
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
ⅷ
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over
your shoulder.
ⅷ
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
ⅷ
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
ⅷ
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.
Note:For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
299
Maintaining Safe Use of andAccess to
Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving
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.
Tip:Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call
SM
Space
ABC
the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing
ABC
ABC
on your Sprint PCS Phone.
FollowingSafetyGuidelines
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.
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency
(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.
Note:Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
300
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying
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.
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas
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.
ⅷ
Below deck on boats.
ⅷ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ⅷ
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.
Note:Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoYourPhone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that
increase your Sprint PCS Invoice.
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
301
Caring for the Battery
ProtectingYourBattery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
ⅷ
Use only Sprint-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.
ⅷ
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
ⅷ
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
ⅷ
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time.
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
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)
DisposalofLithiumIon(LiIon)Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint authorized service center.
SpecialNote: 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.
302
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
Acknowledging Special Precautions
and the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
This 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 (propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a
copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections 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 void 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-WornOperation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying
case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-
worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters from
your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines
303
SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones
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 MM-8300 are:
AMPSmode(Part22):
Head: 1.390 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.857 W/kg
SprintPCSmode(Part24):
Head: 1.330 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.886 W/kg
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
