Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know  
when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Anytime  
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon

(
).  
Using Data Roam Guard  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the  
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using  
11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off  
the Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band  
M520 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint  
National Network and allows you to roam on other  
1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming  
agreements have been implemented. This section  
explains how roaming works as well as special features  
that let you manage your roaming experience.  
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 the Sprint National  
Network. However, you may not be able to access  
certain features, such as Power Vision, depending on  
the available network.  
Section 2D. Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
If you’re on a call when you leave the network, 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.  
Note  
Your phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you  
can determine which signals your phone accepts.  
Choose from three different settings on your digital  
dual-band phone to control your roaming experience.  
Checking for Voicemail Messages While  
Roaming  
To set your phone’s roam mode:  
When you are roaming off the Sprint National 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 time.

Using Data Roam Guard  
Depending on service availability and roaming  
agreements, your phone may be able to access data  
services while roaming on certain digital systems. You  
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming  
off the Sprint National Network and try to use data  
services such as messaging.

“Nickname.” When you add a nickname to a contact,  
you can say the contact’s name or nickname when  
using the voice features. For example, if you have  
“John Smith” stored in your Contacts list and you add  
“Dad” to the nickname field, you can call the contact by  
saying either “Call John Smith” or “Call Dad.”  
2. Say “Call” followed by the name and the label for  
the number you wish to call. For example, say “Call  
John Mobile.” The phone dials the number stored  
for the contact “John” with the label “Mobile.”  
If the location recognized for the name does not have a  
number stored in Contacts, your phone will play the  
message “No number available, John Smith, Mobile,”  
and then launch the Contacts application for that  
name.

If the name is recognized and there is only one number  
for the name, your phone immediately places the call. If  
there are multiple numbers stored for the contact, the  
phone prompts you with “Which Number?” and  
displays a list of options. You can select an option by  
saying it or by using your keypad.  
digits to be dialed, for example, “Call 555 555 5555.”  
3. If the correct number is repeated, say “Yes” to dial  
the number.  
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak  
one digit at a time. For example, 1-800 should be  
pronounced “One Eight Zero Zero.”

Tips for adapting Digit Dial:  
Adapting Digit Dial  
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:  
1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Tools >  
Voice Services.  
2. Press Settings (left softkey) > Digit Dialing >  
ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently  
misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore  
the system to its original factory setting.  
Note  
Adapt Digits.  
3. Press OK (left softkey) to begin the process. (The  
phone displays the first digit sequence.)  
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences  
to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process  
takes about three minutes.  
88  
Section 2H. Voice Services  
4. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using  
a normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back  
your first set of digits and asks “Did the recording  
sound OK?”)  
7. When you are finished with a full session, you will  
reach a screen that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”  
You can either allow the screen to time out or  
press OK (left softkey) to return to the main standby  
screen.  
If the recording is acceptable (no mistakes and no  
background noises), say “Yes” or press the left  
softkey.  
It is recommended that you perform the complete  
adaptation of Digit Dial at least once to achieve the  
maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial adaptation  
is performed, you can always return later and resume  
the process from the halfway point.  
Note  
If you need to rerecord the digits to fix any  
problems, say “No” or press the right softkey. (The  
phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)  
Wait for the beep, and then record the digits  
again. (Repeat this step until you are satisfied with  
the recording.)  
Resetting Digit Dial Adaptation  
1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Tools >  
Voice Services.  
5. After confirming that the recording is acceptable,  
repeat the recording process with the next set of  
digits.

next choice, say “No.” You can also select the correct  
choice using your keypad. To cancel the command,  
say “Cancel,” or to say the name or number again, say  
“Repeat.”

multiple numbers for the name, your phone chooses  
the mobile number by default.  
You can specify whether the ASR software displays a  
choice list or simply dials the most likely match.  
If you say “Send” without specifying a recipient, your  
phone prompts you with “Say the name.” Say the name  
of a person in your Contacts list and, optionally, the  
type of number.

How do I know when my phone is connected to Sprint Power  
Vision services?  
Your phone automatically connects when Sprint Power  
Vision service is used or an incoming message arrives.  
While your data connection is active, you will not be  
able to receive incoming calls; all incoming calls will  
be forwarded to your Sprint Voicemail. Placing an  
outgoing call during a data session terminates the  
data connection.  
Note  
Can I make calls and use Sprint Power Vision services at the  
same time?  
Sprint Vision services are available on the Sprint

anywhere on the Sprint National Network, but  
broadband-like download speeds are only available  
in areas covered by the Sprint Mobile Broadband  
Network.  
You cannot use voice and Sprint Power Vision services  
simultaneously. If you receive a call while Sprint Power  
Vision service is active, the call will be forwarded to  
voicemail. You can place an outgoing call anytime, but  
it will interrupt any in-progress Sprint Power Vision

calls are allowed. (The connection may become active  
again quickly.) If no data is received for an extended  
period of time, the connection will terminate.  
Can I sign out of data services?  
You can sign out without turning off your phone;  
however, you will not be able to browse the Web or use  
other Sprint Power Vision services. While signed out,  
you can still place or receive phone calls, check  
voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign  
in again at any time. To sign out, go to Settings > More...

www.sprint.com and sign on to My Sprint Wireless with  
your account number and password. From this  
page, you have the ability to cancel the service or  
any channels to which you subscribe.  
4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?  
It depends on the content provider. Some of the  
channels available through Sprint TV stream live  
content. Others provide media on demand with  
video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout  
the day, but that are not “live.”  
9. If I put on my stereo headset and insert them into the  
phone’s headset jack, can I close the phone while I am  
playing an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the  
clip?  
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a  
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do  
I know it has been purchased?  
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the  
phone’s headset jack, the phone automatically  
goes into “headset mode,” allowing you to close  
the phone and continue playing the clip. (Likewise,  
if your phone is in “headset mode,” a phone call  
will not disconnect when you close the phone.)  
The next time you access the channel, you bypass  
the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the  
available content.  
6. If I don’t subscribe to a Sprint Power Vision Plan, will I still be  
able to view the multimedia clips?

Following Safety Guidelines  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
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.  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local  
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also  
dial # 2 2 2 on your phone.  
Tip  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
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.  
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device  
compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with  
certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear  
implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the  
effectiveness of the hearing device.  
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:  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
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.  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your M520 phone by  
Samsung has an M4 rating.  
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  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
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 invoice.

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
“Turning Bluetooth On and Off” on page 117 for instructions to  
disable these components.  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within  
30 days of purchase for a full refund. More information about  
hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov,  
www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and www.accesswireless.org.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
1. While in standby mode, select Main Menu and press  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.

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:  
Position the phone so the internal 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.  
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. Sprint is  
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting  
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved  
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only  
Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s

170  
Section 4A. Important Safety Information  
 
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).  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can  
be burned.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your  
nearest Sprint 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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web  
site at www.fcc.gov.  
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.  
Section 4A. Important Safety Information

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: A3LSPHM520.  
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.  
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found on the  
following FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.  
FCC Notice  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation  
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may  
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
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.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules.  
Note  
The highest reported SAR values of the M520 are:  
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 1.08 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.672W/kg
