Turning Your Phone ON and OFF  
TurningYourPhoneOn  
Press  
to turn your phone on.  
Once your phone is On, it displays “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  
PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned On).  
Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are  
in an area where there is no signal.

animation on the display screen.  
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery

Using Your Phone’s Battery  
BatteryCapacity  
Your 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 3.25 hours of continuous digital talk  
time (1.7 hours in analog) or approximately 240 hours of continuous  
digital standby time (23 hours in analog).  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks.  
When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left, the  
phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, PCS Ready  
Link 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.  
InstallingtheBattery

install it:  
1. Place the battery into the space  
beneath the antenna with the metal  
contacts at the bottom, facing  
downward.  
2. Gently press down until it’s in place  
and the battery release latch snaps.  
RemovingtheBattery  
To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:  
1. Make sure the power is off so that you  
don’t lose any stored numbers or  
messages.  
2. Push the battery release latch up and  
hold the battery.  
3. Pull the battery up and out at a  
45-degree angle.

TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint  
A TTY (also known as a 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.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with  
the 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer  
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by  
first dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint 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 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.

Controlling Your Roaming  
Experience  
In This Section  
UnderstandingRoaming  
SettingYourPhone’sRoamMode  
ControllingRoamingChargesUsingCallGuard  
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the  
RSprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode  
PCS Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and  
allows you to roam on other 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 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2D: ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
76  
Understanding Roaming  
RecognizingIconsontheDisplayScreen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off  
the Sprint Nationwide 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.  
Main LCD/Sub LCD  
Roaming Indicator  
Analog Indicator  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Digital Roam  
Analog Networks  
Analog Roam  
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: 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. You may not be able to  
access certain features, such as PCS Vision.  
Note: PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2D: ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
77  
RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar  
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some  
features, such as PCS Vision, PCS Voice Command, and PCS Ready  
Link, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and  
access voicemail. You may experience the following differences:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and  
dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link,  
and direct international dialing, are unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are  
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can  
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing  
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press  
when you hear  
your greeting and enter your passcode at the prompt.  
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.  
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide 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  
PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.  
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This  
behavior is normal for analog operation.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone

3. Select Roaming and press  
4. Select SetMode and press  
.

.
5. Select an option from the followings and press  
.
Sprint allows you to access the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.  
Automatic seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is  
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.  
Analog forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system.  
The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the  
next time the phone is turned on.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

With your PCS Vision Phone and PCS Service, you are ready to start  
enjoying the advantages of PCS Vision. This section will help you  
learn the basics of using your PCS Vision services, including  
managing your User name, launching a Vision connection, and  
navigating the Web with your PCS Vision Phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service, you’re  
automatically assigned a PCS Vision User name. When you use  
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 PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and as  
an online virtual identity.  
A User name is typically based on your name and a number, followed  
by “@sprintpcs.com.” For example, the third John Smith to sign up  
for PCS Vision services might have [email protected] as his User  
name. If you want a particular User name, you can visit  
www.sprintpcs.com and get the name you want – as long as nobody  
else has it.  
Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User name, that will automatically become  
your PCS Vision User name.  
Your User name will be automatically programmed into your  
PCS Phone. You don’t have to enter it.  
UpdatingYourUserName  
When you change the programmed User name and select a new one,  
you have to update your User name through your PCS Phone.  
To update your User name:  
1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings and press  
.
3. Select PCSVision and press  
.
4. Select UpdateProfile and press  
.
If you want to cancel, press  
while processing.

PCS Vision Connection Status and Indicators

PCS Vision connection through indicators which appear at the top  
of the screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your PCS Vision connection is active (data is being transferred).  
Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls  
can be made, but the PCS Vision connection will be dormant.  
Your 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 PCS Vision service  
features.  
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current  
PCS Vision connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a  
PCS Vision Connection” on the previous page.

Navigating the Web  
Navigating through menus and Websites during a PCS Vision  
session is easy once you’ve learned a few basics. Here are some tips  
for getting around:  
Softkeys  
During a PCS Vision session, the bottom line of your 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. Depending on  
which Websites you visit, the labels on the softkeys may change to  
indicate their function.  
To use softkeys, simply press the desired softkey button. If an  
additional pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey button,  
select the menu items using your keypad (if they’re numbered) or by  
highlighting the option and pressing  
.

features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
215  
Getting the Most Out of Your 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 or you can check it 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.  
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 0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in  
digital mode.  
KnowingRadiofrequencySafety  
The design of your 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).

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. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint  
SM  
Store or call PCS Customer Solutions for service.  
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should  
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access 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.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and redial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if  
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
217  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when  
stationary or before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may  
divert your attention from the road.  
Dial  
to report serious emergencies. It’s free from  
your wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless  
number when necessary.  
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store.  
You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by  
dialing  
on your 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.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
218  
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 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  
remote-control 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’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 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.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information

Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
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.  
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.  
Keepthemetalcontactsontopofthebatteryclean.  
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  
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.

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 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 that the antenna is at least 1.9 cm  
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC  
Website at www.fcc.gov.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety  
221  
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-5500 are:  
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part22)-Head:1.250W/kg;Body-worn:0.933W/kg  
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.250 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.691 W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC  
ID number: AEZSCP-55H. More information on the phone’s SAR can  
be found from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
