This should only be done if the device does not appear  
to be responding properly to onscreen touches.  
Touch Sensitivity  
The Instinct's touch screen requires a small amount of  
pressure to operate. The smaller the size of your  
contact point on the screen, the less the amount of  
pressure required. The tip of your finger will work better  
than the pad of your finger, and a fingernail or stylus  
will require even less pressure. Initially, your device's  
sensitivity is set to its highest level. Once you have  
discovered your preferred method for operating your  
touchscreen, you may find that it is too sensitive for  
some applications. You can adjust how sensitive the  
device is to touch actions on the screen.

Adaptation  
Tips for using the Adaptation mode:  
Use the Adapt Voice feature in a quiet place.  
Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice  
characteristics may find it difficult to achieve high  
accuracy with their word recognition. The Adaptation  
mode, with its Adapt Voice feature allows users to  
dramatically improve the device’s accuracy by  
retraining of the onboard recognition software.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to  
speak.  
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.  
(If you are satisfied with the voice recognition system's  
accuracy, you don't need to use the Adaptation mode.)

accessories including Bluetooth stereo headsets.  
You can play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, fast  
forward, or rewind from a headset. (Playback  
functions may vary among Bluetooth accessories.)  
PBAP: Phone Book Access Profile – This profile enables  
exchange of Contacts information between devices.  
It is typically used between a car kit and a mobile  
phone to allow the car kit to display the name of the  
incoming caller.  
DUN: Dial-Up Network Profile – This profile functions as  
a wireless data cable, connecting a computer or PDA  
to a network through your device.  
OPP: Object Push Profile – This profile uses the Generic  
Object Exchange profile services to send data  
objects between devices and can be used to  
exchange objects like music files, pictures, calendar  
(vCal) and business cards (vCard).  
Pairing Bluetooth Devices  
Paired Devices  
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish  
trusted connections between your device and another  
Bluetooth device. When devices are paired, a passkey  
is shared between devices, allowing for fast, secure  
connections while bypassing the discovery and  
authentication process.  
FTP: File Transfer Profile – This profile allows you to  
transfer files to or from other Bluetooth-enabled  
devices.  
A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile – This profile  
allows you to transmit high quality stereo music from  
your device to other compatible accessories

Sprint TV FAQs  
4. Scroll through the channel listings within your  
selected category and touch a channel name to  
launch the stream.  
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m  
viewing or listening to a media clip?  
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while  
you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a  
voicemail, the voicemail icon will be displayed on  
the screen.  
Touch  
to view additional information about a  
channel.  
Touch Add to Favorites to bookmark this channel.  
5. Touch a channel from the Sprint TV listings to  
begin streaming it to your device.  
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it will  
take to play the clip prior to accessing it?  
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a  
listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length  
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s  
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a  
few minutes.  
If you don't own a channel, the first time you access  
it, you will be prompted to purchase access (unless  
the channel doesn't have a monthly fee). Touch  
Subscribe to purchase access, or select Preview to  
view a preview of the selected channel.

3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have my  
device?  
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the  
word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?  
As long as you are on the Sprint National Network,  
you will have access to the audio and video clips.  
This happens when the device is loading the data  
necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when  
there is heavy traffic on the network.  
Sprint TV Service does not work while roaming off of  
the Sprint National Network or where service is  
unavailable.  
Note  
8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?  
To cancel your Sprint TV service, visit  
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 it into the device’s  
headset jack, can I lock the device while I am playing an audio  
(or video) clip without interrupting the clip?  
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the  
device’s headset jack, the device automatically  
goes into “headset mode,” allowing you to close  
the device and continue playing the clip. (Likewise,  
if your device is in “headset mode,” a phone call  
will not disconnect when you lock the device.)  
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?  
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  
Yes. For service access charges, please consult  
your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.

up and down to then choose a different channel. A  
small pop-up screen will be displayed that tells you  
which channel you are watching as well as other

Backing Up Your Downloaded Music Files  
When you purchase and download a music file  
from the Sprint Music Store, you get two versions of

(file type: AAC+), and another to download and play on  
your computer (file type: WMA). Go to www.sprint.com/  
digitallounge and click Music.  
If you copy the files to a new microSD card, you will  
need to create a folder on the card called “MUSIC” to  
be able to play the music files.  
Multitasking  
The AAC+ files downloaded to your device can only  
be played on your device and on your account, and  
once they have been downloaded, they cannot be  
downloaded again without being repurchased.  
Multitasking is a way of maintaining one application  
active while using another. While your current music  
selection is playing, you can activate the Application  
Manager screen and choose from a list of available  
applications which can be run in tandem with your  
music.

General Precautions  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your device  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your device where the internal antenna is located while  
using the device.  
(page 211)  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid  
spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the  
power off and remove the battery.  
Using Your Device With a Hearing Aid Device (page 212)  
Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,

Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
devices may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Device  
Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls  
Mobile devices operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile device for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile device features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
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.  
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.  
Using Your Device While Driving  
Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and  
request permission before using the device near medical  
equipment.  
Note  
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 device.  
Turn off your device 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 device while the  
regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in the  
air.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any  
special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in  
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause  
interference or danger.

Turning Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Device With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device  
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.  
A number of Sprint devices have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless devices 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 device off when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your device  
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 devices 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 device 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 devices to assist  
hearing device users find devices that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all devices have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Devices that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-M800 has an  
M3 and T3 rating.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids,  
or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your device or accessories.  
Note  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device  
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 device with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as  
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device or  
make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.

out the device with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint  
30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the device 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.  
M-Ratings: Devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements  
for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated devices. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
T-Ratings: Devices 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 devices. (T4 is  
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Device  
To further minimize interference:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless devices and should have  
ratings similar to devices. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your device to determine probable  
usability:  
Set the device’s display and dial pad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
1. Press  
and touch Main (  
) > Settings > Display >  
Brightness, Backlight Dim, or Brightness Off.  
2. Touch the minimum time interval setting. (Brightness is  
adjustable by moving the slider either left or right.)  
Position the device so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the device around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 device, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple devices  
(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.

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless  
device 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 devices resulting  
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved  
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your device. Use only  
Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device’s  
manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also  
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the  
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure  
they’re genuine and safe.  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
a long period of time.

Body-Worn Operation  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
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.  
Understanding How Your Device Operates  
Your device is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your device, 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 device complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Devices  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
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  
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing,  
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how  
much RF the device emits. All device models are tested at their  
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in  
operation, the SAR of a device 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, device  
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that  
each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs  
Measurements (NCRP).

215  
 
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates  
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in  
SAR values between different model devices 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.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to  
operate the equipment.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
Note  
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules.  
The highest reported SAR values of theSPH-M800 are:  
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 1.16 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.220 W/kg  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency  
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications.  
PCS mode (Part 24):  
Head: 1.460 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.01 W/kg  
FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission  
Guidelines.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHM800.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct  
the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
More information on the device’s SAR can be found from the  
following FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.  
FCC Notice  
Reorient the direction of the internal antenna.  
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.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different  
from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.
