TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are  
deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language  
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. A TTY  
device will activate TTY mode on the phone when it is  
properly connected. 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 Sprint PCS Service, please call  
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications  
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 711  
. Then  
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.  
In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.  
Note:  
If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY  
devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

Understanding Roaming  
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard  
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band  
tri-mode VI-3155i by Nokia works anywhere on the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other  
analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital 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 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when  
you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time  
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon  
(
). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming  
icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam – .  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11  
digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip:  
Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you  
will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
Note:  
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 Nationwide PCS Network.  
However, you may not be able to access certain features,  
such as Sprint PCS Vision.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is  
available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an  
area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn  
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network.  
Note:

Roaming on Analog Networks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a  
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.  
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and  
Sprint PCS Voice 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:  
ⅷ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,  
fade-out, and dropped calls.  
ⅷ
Some features which are standard on the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint  
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are  
unavailable.  
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you  
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you  
return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See  
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on  
page 70.)  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may  
feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network, you will 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.  
To check your voicemail while roaming:  
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.  
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press OK.  
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the  
voice prompts.  
When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,  
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can  
determine which signals your phone accepts.  
Set Mode  
Choose from five different settings on your dual-band  
tri-mode phone to control your roaming experience.  
To set your phone’s roam mode:  
1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set mode.  
2. To select an option, highlight it and press OK:  
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
Ⅲ
Sprint—allows you to access the Sprint  
Nationwide 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.  
Roaming only—forces the phone to seek a roaming  
system. If no digital roam system is available, the  
phone searches for an analog system.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using  
Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are  
roaming off the Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)  
To turn Call Guard on or off:  
1. Press Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call guard.  
2. Highlight On or Off and press OK.  
Voice dialing and Speed dialing are not available when you  
are roaming with Call guard enabled.  
Note:  
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:  
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-  
digit number and press  
2. Select Yes.  
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:  
.
1. Press  
.
2. Select Yes.  
If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to  
take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

You’ll find the Call log feature very helpful. It is a list of the  
last 30 phone numbers (or contact entries) for calls you  
placed, accepted, or missed. Call log makes redialing a  
number fast and easy. It is continually updated as new  
numbers are added to the beginning of the list and the

contacts list). Duplicate calls (same number and type of  
call) may only appear once on the list.  
You cannot make calls from Call log to entries identified as

Using Voice Navigation and  
Voice Dialing  
Before using voice tags, note that:  
ⅷ

ⅷ
ⅷ
Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are  
dependent on the speaker’s voice.  
You must say the name exactly as you said it when you  
recorded it.  
Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record  
voice tags and use them in a quiet environment.  
Very short names are not accepted. Use long names  
and avoid similar names for different numbers.  
Record voice dial tags in a quiet environment and without  
the aid of an accessory (for example, a headset or hands-  
free car kit).  
Tip:  
Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or  
during an emergency, so you should not rely upon voice  
dialing in all circumstances.

Navigating the Web  
Navigating through menus and Web sites during a  
Sprint PCS Vision session is easy once you've learned  
a few basics. Here are some tips for getting around:  
Softkeys  
During a Sprint 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 Web sites you visit, the labels on the  
softkeys may change to indicate their function.  
Tip:  
To use softkeys:  
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

numbered list may be selected by pressing the 0 key on  
your phone’s keypad, even though the number 0 doesn’t  
appear on the screen.)

Owner’s Record  
Phone Guide Proprietary Notice  
Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is learning  
how the phone works and how to care for it. This section  
outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you  
understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4A: Safety

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength  
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.  
Understanding the Power Save Feature  
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.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
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.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
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).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
ⅷ
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over  
your shoulder.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
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  
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.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint  
Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221  
or by dialing #222 on your Sprint PCS Phone.  
Tip:  
SM  
Following Safety Guidelines  
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.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
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.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
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.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
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:  
ⅷ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
ⅷ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders.  
ⅷ
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off  
your vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or  
accessories.  
Note:  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
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.

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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.  
ⅷ
ⅷ
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)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon 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.  
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This 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 (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-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 2.2 centimeters  
(9/10 inch) 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 FCC Website at  
www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
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 VI-3155i by Nokia are:  
AMPSmode(Part22):  
Head: 1.22 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg  
SprintPCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 1.21 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.68 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: QMNRM-41. More information on the  
phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website:
