Although some features, such as Sprint PCSVision, Sprint PCS  
Ready Link, and Sprint PCSVoice Command, will be  
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access

voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS 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 Nationwide  
Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCSVision,  
Sprint PCS Ready Link, and direct international dialing,  
may not be available.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you  
are roaming, you may not receive notification until you  
return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See  
“Checking forVoicemail MessagesWhile Roaming”on the  
next page.)  
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.

CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS  
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  
period of time.  
Tocheckyourvoicemailwhileroaming:  
Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.  
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,  
voicemail notification will resume as normal.  
SettingYourPhone’sRoamMode  
Your Sprint PCSVision Phone allows you to control your  
roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you  
can determine which signals your phone accepts.

mode phone to control your roaming experience.

Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide  
Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on  
other networks.  
Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS  
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an  
alternate system.  
RoamingOnly forces the phone to seek a roaming  
system.The previous setting (Sprint Only or  
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is  
turned on.  
ControllingRoamingChargesUsing  
CallGuard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are  
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

GettingtheMost Out ofYourReception  
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 Sprint 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.

FAILURETO FOLLOWTHE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEADTO 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:Alwaysturnoffthephoneinhealthcarefacilitiesandrequest permissionbefore  
usingthephonenearmedicalequipment.  
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.  
258  
Section 4A: Safety

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:Nevertransport orstoreflammablegas, liquidorexplosivesinthecompartment  
ofyourvehiclethat containsyourphoneoraccessories.  
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 Sprint PCS Invoice.  
UsingYour PhoneWith a Hearing Aid  
Device  
Your Sprint PCS® phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.  
When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing  
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or  
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they  
generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their  
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be  
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. YourVI-2300 by  
Sanyo has an M3 rating.  
Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.  
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's  
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be  
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to successfully use a phone  
that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid compatible.Trying the phone  
with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal  
needs. Should you experience interference when using yourVI-2300 with  
your hearing device, Sprint suggests you promptly return the phone to the  
Section 4A: Safety  
259  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
store. With the Sprint 14-day Risk-Free Guarantee you may return the phone  
within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Sprint further suggests you  
experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled with an M3 or  
M4) while in the retail store to find the one that works best with your  
hearing device  
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of  
interference.Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health  
professional may help you find results for your hearing device.The more  
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience  
interference noise from wireless phones.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience  
WithYourVI-2300  
One way to minimize interference is to set the phone's Display and Keypad  
backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.  
To ensure the minimum interference from your display and keypad  
backlight, follow these steps:  
1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings and press  
3. Select Display and press  
4. Select Backlight and press  
.
.
.
5. Select MainLCD or Key and press  
.
6. Select the minimum time interval setting and press

CaringfortheBattery  
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 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.  
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:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° 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:Forsafety, donot handleadamagedorleakingLiIonbattery.

AcknowledgingSpecialPrecautionsand  
theFCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This phone may causeTV 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 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 1.9 centimeters from your body  
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate  
FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCCWebsite at  
www.fcc.gov.  
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  
262  
Section 4A: Safety  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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 1.6W/kg are considered safe for  
use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the MM-8300 are:  
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part 22):  
Head: 1.450W/kg; Body-worn: 1.130W/kg  
PCSmode(Part 24):  
Head: 1.280W/kg; Body-worn: 0.957W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: AEZSCP-23H. More information on the phone’s SAR can be  
found from the following FCCWebsite: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
