UsingYour Phone’s Battery and Charger  
BatteryCapacity  
Your 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.

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.

phone and void the warranty.

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  
appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter  
has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and  
PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Roamingistheabilitytomakeorreceivecallswhenyou’reoff  
thenetworkavailabletoyou. Your new dual band/tri-mode  
SCP-8300 by Sanyo works anywhere on the network  
available to you 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  
91  
   
Understanding Roaming  
RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when  
you’re off the network available to you. 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 network available  
to you, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Note: Unless your 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 network available to you. However, you  
may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint  
PCS Vision.  
Note: Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.  
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you and  
enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call  
is dropped in an area where you think network service is available, turn  
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network available to you.  
92  
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, will be  
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access  
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you  
may notice some of the following differences when using  
analog service:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,  
fade-out, and dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the network  
available to you, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision,  
Ready Link, and direct international dialing, are  
unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you  
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you  
return to the network available to you. (See “Checking  
for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 94.)  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and  
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services  
today.  
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  
93  
 
CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the network available to you, 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.  
Tocheckyourvoicemailwhileroaming:  
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.  
Shift  
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press  
.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the  
voice prompts.  
When you return to the network available to you, voicemail  
notification will resume as normal.

Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
   
SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your wireless phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can  
determine which signals your phone accepts.  
SetMode  
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band/tri-  
mode phone to control your roaming experience.

1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings.

5. Select an option from the following, and press  
.
QwestOnly allows you to access the enhanced  
network available to you only and prevents  
roaming on other networks.  
Automatic seeks network service. When service is  
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate  
system.  
RoamingOnly forces the phone to seek a roaming  
system. The previous setting (Qwest Only or  
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is  
turned on.  
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
95  
 
Controlling Roaming Charges Using  
Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are  
roaming off the network available to you: 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 network available to you.)

You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of  
the last 20 voice calls and the last 10 Ready Link calls for  
calls you placed, accepted, 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 Contact’s name (if the phone number is in your  
Contacts List). Duplicate calls (same number and type of  
call) may only appear once on the list (except missed calls).

including Messaging, games, downloadable ringers and  
screen savers, and portable Web access – are easy to learn  
and use. Clearly, it’s a whole new way to look at wireless.  
This section introduces these advanced services and  
walks you through the necessary steps to start taking  
advantage of Sprint PCS Vision Services.  
Section 3B:Sprint PCSVision

Getting StartedWith Sprint PCSVision  
With your SCP-8300 by Sanyo and wireless service from  
Qwest, 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 phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a compatible phone and sign up for service,  
you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is  
typically your 10-digit wireless phone number followed by  
“@qwest.sprintpcs.com.” For example, if your phone  
number is 555-123-4567, your user name will be  
When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your user name is  
submitted to identify you to the network available to you.  
The user name is also useful as an address for email, as a way  
to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual  
identity.  
Your user name will be automatically programmed into  
your phone. You don’t have to enter it.  
FindingYourUserName  
If you aren’t sure what your Sprint PCS Vision user name is,  
you can easily find it on your phone.  
Tofindyourusername:  
From standby mode, go to Menu > Settings > PhoneInfo

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.  
Your phone is not currently able to access Sprint PCS  
Vision service features.  
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current  
Sprint PCS Vision connection. To launch a connection, see  
“Launching a Sprint PCS Vision Connection” on page 259.

Sprint PCS Vision session is easy once you’ve learned a few  
basics. Here are some tips for getting around:

phone’s display contains one or more softkeys. These keys  
are shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and  
they correspond to the softkey buttons directly below the  
phone’s display screen.  
Tip: Depending on which Web sites you visit, the labels on the softkeys  
may change to indicate their function.  
Tousesoftkeys:

performance and safety guidelines that help you  
understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines  
281  
 
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 wireless 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).  
282  
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines  
 
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over  
your shoulder.  
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.  
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
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 authorized personnel should service your  
phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.  
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines  
283  
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.  
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.  
284  
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:  
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’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 invoice.  
Section 4A:Safety Guidelines

Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only Qwest-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)  
DisposalofLithiumIon(LiIon)Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest  
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.

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 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-approved accessories may violate FCC  
RF exposure guidelines.

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 SCP-8300 are:  
AMPSmode(Part22):  
Head: 1.390 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.857 W/kg  
PCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 1.330 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.886 W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: AEZSCP-83H. More information  
on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
