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:
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to
speak.
ⅷ 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.)

Visual Voicemail gives you a quick and easy way to
access your voicemail. Now you can find exactly the
message you are looking for without having to listen to
every voicemail message first.
Visual Voicemail allows you to quickly and easily
decide which voicemails you choose to listen to. You
can also send out your own visual voicemail messages
to select recipients.

you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a
voicemail, the voicemail icon will be displayed on
the screen.

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
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.

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.

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-974-2221. You can also

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.
Ⅲ Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Ⅲ Below deck on boats.
Ⅲ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Ⅲ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Ⅲ 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

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:
ⅷ
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.
ⅷ
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.

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).

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.
