The following list previews some of those features and options and  
provides page numbers where you can find out more:  
Dual-band/tri-mode capability allows you to make and receive  
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and to roam  
on other analog and 800 and 1900 MHz digital networks where  
Sprint has implemented roaming agreements (page 71).

as unique as you are (page 250).  
The built-in organizer lets you schedule alerts to remind you of  
important events (page 94).  
The Contacts directory (page 86) can store up to 500 numbers  
and 300 email and Web addresses in 300 entries (entries can store  
up to seven numbers each). A separate Sprint PCS Ready Link  
Contacts List (page 149) provides easy access to up to 200  
personal contacts and 200 company-provided contacts.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a  
Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found,  
your phone automatically returns to standby mode.  
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically  
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for

TTY UseWith Sprint PCS Service  
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf  
or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to  
communicate by telephone.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. 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  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means,  
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and  
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when  
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some  
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY  
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the  
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are  
currently working to resolve this.

SprintNationwidePCSNetwork. Your new dual-band/tri-mode  
Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Phone MM-5600 by Sanyo 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  
71  
Understanding Roaming  
RecognizingIconsontheDisplayScreen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off  
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is  
operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates  
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.  
Main LCD/Sub LCD  
Roaming Indicator  
Analog Indicator  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network  
Other Digital Networks  
Digital Roam  
Analog Networks  
Analog Roam  
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide  
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a  
higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks  
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.  
Note: Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
72  
RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
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, Sprint PCS Ready Link, 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:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and  
dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide PCS  
Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, 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  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail  
Messages While 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.  
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and  
enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), 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: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is  
normal for analog operation.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
73  
CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail  
notification will resume as normal.  
SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine  
which signals your phone accepts.  
SetMode  
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band/tri-mode  
phone to control your roaming experience.

1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings and press

.
5. Select an option from the following and press  
.
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.  
Analog forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system.  
The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the  
next time the phone is turned on.  
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience  
74  
ControllingRoamingChargesUsingCallGuard  
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.)

bottom of the list.  
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and

Messaging, games, downloadable ringers and screen savers, and  
Web access are easy to learn and use. The rich, colorful graphic  
experience is visually comparable to your home or office  
computer. Clearly, its a whole new way to look at wireless.  
This section introduces these advanced services and walks you  
through the necessary steps to start taking advantage of Sprint PCS  
Vision.  
Section 3B: Sprint PCS Vision  
228  
Getting StartedWith Sprint PCSVision  
With your MM-5600 by Sanyo and Sprint PCS Service, you are ready to  
start enjoying the advantages of Sprint PCS Vision. This section will  
help you learn the basics of using your Sprint PCS Vision services,  
including managing your User Name, launching a Vision connection,  
and navigating the Web with your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service,  
you’re automatically assigned a User Name. A User Name is typically  
based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.”  
For example, the third John Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision  
services might have [email protected] as his User Name. If you  
want a particular User Name, you can visit www.sprintpcs.com and get  
the name you want – as long as nobody else has it.  
When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User Name is  
submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.  
The User Name is also useful as an address for Email, as a way to  
personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.  
Your User Name will be automatically programmed into your  
Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don’t have to enter it.  
UpdatingYourUserName  
When you change the programmed User Name and select a new one,  
you have to update your User Name through your Sprint PCS Phone.  
ToupdateyourUserName:  
1. Press  
to access the main menu.  
2. Select Settings and press

If you want to cancel, press  
while processing.

easily find it online or on your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.  
TofindyourUserName:  
Atwww.sprintpcs.com. Sign on to your account using your  
Sprint PCS Phone Number and password. To view your

Sprint PCSVision Connection Status and Indicators  
Your phone’s display lets you know the current status of your  
Sprint PCS Vision connection through indicators which appear at the  
top of the screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is active (data is being  
transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will blink to indicate  
data transmission. Incoming voice calls go directly to voicemail;  
outgoing voice calls can be made, but the Sprint PCS Vision  
connection will terminate.  
Your Sprint PCS Vision connection is dormant (no data is being  
sent or received). Though not currently active, when dormant  
the phone can restart an active connection quickly; voice calls  
can be made and received.  
Your phone is not currently able to access Sprint PCS Vision  
service features.  
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current  
Sprint PCS Vision connection. To launch a connection, see  
“Launching a Sprint PCS Vision Connection” on the previous page.

session is easy once you’ve learned a few basics. Here are some tips  
for getting around:

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.  
Tip: Depending on which Websites you visit, the labels on the softkeys may  
change to indicate their function.  
Tousesoftkeys:  
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

Getting the Most Out ofYour Reception  
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.  
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.  
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  
0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety  
The design of your Sprint PCS Vision 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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
270  
Note: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 andAccess to

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO 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.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial  
and redial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend  
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or  
before pulling into traffic.  
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your  
attention from the road.  
Dial  
to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your  
wireless phone.  
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.  
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when  
necessary.

on your Sprint PCS  
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.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
271  
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:Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the  
phone near medical equipment.  
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.  
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:Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your  
vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
272  
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.  
Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and 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 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.  
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:  
-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º 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:For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

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 1.5 cm from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
274  
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 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 MM-5600 are:  
AMPS/CDMAmodes(Part22):  
Head: 0.571 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.420 W/kg  
PCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 0.723 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.180 W/kg

Consumer Information onWireless Phones  
(The following information comes from a consumer information Website jointly  
sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer  
Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced herein is dated  
July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website:  
Whatisradiofrequencyenergy(RF)?  
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of  
electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of  
the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-  
rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of  
waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through  
space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.  
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas.  
As they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All  
electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major differences  
between the different types of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of  
the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set time  
period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The  
frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any  
electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the  
speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in units called  
hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One kilohertz (kHz) equals one  
thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million waves per  
second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per second.  
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per  
second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a  
subset of radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million  
waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).  
Howisradiofrequencyenergyused?  
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio  
and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire  
department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on  
RF energy.  
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and  
sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave  
frequencies, can heat water. Since most food has a high water content,  
microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and  
airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use  
RF energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items such  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
276  
as shoes and pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy include  
pacemaker monitoring and programming.  
Howisradiofrequencyradiationmeasured?  
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is  
often convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each  
component. For example, the unit “volts per meter” (V/m) is used to measure  
the electric field strength, and the unit “amperes per meter” (A/m) is used to  
express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF  
field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power per  
unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts  
(one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one  
millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2).  
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the  
body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the  
rate of absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per  
kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).  
WhatbiologicaleffectscanbecausedbyRFenergy?  
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the  
effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.  
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma  
rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are  
stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can  
permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.  
Ionization only occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as  
X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing  
ionizing radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants).  
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio  
waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms  
and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other  
types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and  
other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.  
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and  
increase body temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are  
particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow  
in them to carry away excess heat.  
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too  
low to produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some  
people have questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF  
energy. It is generally agreed that further research is needed to determine what  
effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the  
meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are  
continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether  
changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
277  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
WhatlevelsofRFenergyareconsideredsafe?  
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to  
radiofrequency energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for  
both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used  
safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.  
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are  
derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of  
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations  
were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,  
government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature  
related to the biological effects of RF energy.  
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by  
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).  
The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE,  
with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure  
levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from  
certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the World  
Health Organization is working to provide a framework for international  
harmonization of RF safety standards.  
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific  
Absorption Rate (SAR) value of 4 watts per kilogram (4 W/kg) as a threshold  
level of exposure at which harmful biological effects may occur. Exposure  
guidelines in terms of field strength, power density and localized SAR were then  
derived from this threshold value. In addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP  
guidelines vary depending on the frequency of the RF exposure. This is due to  
the finding that whole-body human absorption of RF energy varies with the  
frequency of the RF signal. The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure  
are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the human body absorbs RF  
energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the body, such as  
wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.  
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and  
magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at  
frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. The specific values can be found in two  
FCC bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65:  
WhyhastheFCCadoptedguidelinesforRFexposure?  
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that  
generate RF and microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting  
services in the U.S. except those specifically operated by the Federal  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
278  
Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to determine radiation  
exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to  
recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert  
agencies and organizations, and has done so. (Our joint efforts with the FDA in  
developing this website is illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and  
consultation we engage in regarding this health and safety issue.)  
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has  
certain responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect  
the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of  
transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the  
environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated  
transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such  
environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF  
exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as required by the  
Telecommunications Act of 1996.  
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental  
radio stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to  
undergo routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application  
to the FCC for construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal  
of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines could lead  
to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment, possible  
Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an application.  
Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance with the FCC RF safety  
requirements can be found in the FCC’s OET Bulletin 65.  
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are  
normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.  
These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data  
indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the  
conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines  
under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from  
compliance, but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC’s policies  
on RF exposure and categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of  
the FCC’s Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].  
HowcanIobtaintheSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)valueformy  
wirelessphone?  
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate  
compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The  
relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user  
is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above. The FCC  
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.  
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many  
recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
279  
model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the  
phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the  
number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web address:  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page, you will see instructions for entering the  
FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee  
Code is the first three characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the  
FCC ID number). Then click on “Start Search.” The “Grant of Equipment  
Authorization” for your telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the  
section on “SAR Compliance,” “Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for  
RF Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for  
typical or maximum SAR for your phone.  
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the  
maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.”  
For phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000,  
detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated  
with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking  
on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic  
database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.  
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers  
may find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone  
manufacturers make SAR information available on their own Web sites. In  
addition, some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of  
wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no  
guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular  
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide  
SAR information to consumers in the instructional materials that come with  
the phones.  
Dohands-freekitsforwirelessphonesreducerisksfromexposuretoRF  
emissions?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-  
free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These  
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone,  
which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On  
the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the  
body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless  
phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless  
of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either  
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.  
DowirelessphoneaccessoriesthatclaimtoshieldtheheadfromRF  
radiationwork?  
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless  
phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the  
head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
280  
user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing  
more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that  
these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits,  
these so-called “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The  
phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in  
RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged  
two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users  
from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC,  
these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.  
Whatarewirelesstelephonebasestations?  
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular  
base stations, cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations or  
telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of antennas and  
electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are  
often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical heights for  
freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.  
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that  
are referred to as “omni-directional” antennas. These types of antennas are  
usually found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers  
now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations. These  
antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension. The  
antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One  
antenna in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the  
other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless  
phones.  
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the  
number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each  
transmitter. Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical  
cell site using sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be  
connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is  
unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time.  
When omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could  
theoretically use up to 96 transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and,  
once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters would be in operation  
simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS communications generally require  
fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS  
carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.  
Arewirelesstelephonebasestationssafe?  
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations  
travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation  
pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin  
pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single  
array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of  
electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
281  
the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure  
very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact,  
ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less  
than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So  
exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins.  
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with  
limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by  
government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made  
near cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed  
that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than the  
exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or  
near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would  
essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of  
the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very  
unlikely to occur.  
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof  
or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically  
encountered on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or  
exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly  
in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for  
such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are  
insignificant. General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances  
that might give rise to a concern about an facility’s conformance with FCC  
regulations can be found in A Local Government Official’s Guide to  
TransmittingAntenna RF Emission Safety:Rules, Procedures, and Practical  
Guidance. This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from

DoestheFCCroutinelymonitorradiofrequencyradiationfromantennas?  
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the  
emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC  
jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for  
evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers. If  
there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines  
for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC’s Office of Engineering and  
Technology or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation, and,  
if appropriate, perform actual measurements. Circumstances that could give  
rise to a concern about an facility’s conformance with FCC regulations can be  
found in in A Local Government Official’s Guide toTransmittingAntenna RF

Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the  
service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)  
The FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the case  
of site specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is collected  
from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the case of  
market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority  
to operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using as many  
facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with  
specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.  
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu  
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of  
their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file  
structure. These extracts consist of multiple, very large files. The FCC’s Office of  
Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at  
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html. Entry points into the various  
databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and  
licensee name. For further information on the Commission’s existing databases,  
you can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected] or 202-418-2405.  
Canlocalandstategovernmentalbodiesestablishlimitsfor  
RFexposure?  
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations  
about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of  
1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF  
emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, “No State or local  
government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,  
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the  
basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent  
that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such  
emissions.” Further information on federal authority and FCC policy is available  
in a fact sheet from the FCC’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at  
Dowirelessphonesposeahealthhazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless  
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency  
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low  
levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce  
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
283  
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies  
of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies  
have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have  
not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers  
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons  
for inconsistent results.  
WhatisFDA’sroleconcerningthesafetyofwirelessphones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer  
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new  
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if  
wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is  
hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of  
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or  
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA  
has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the  
following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the  
type emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the  
user that is not necessary for device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible  
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health  
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have  
responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at  
the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Commission  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
National Telecommunications and Information Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United  
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies  
on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.  
While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones  
themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are  
typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
284  
phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions  
discussed in this document.  
Whatkindsofphonesarethesubjectofthisupdate?  
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-  
in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of  
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF  
exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety  
guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health  
and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the  
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure  
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called  
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in  
a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF  
exposures well within the FCC’s compliance limits.  
Whataretheresultsoftheresearchdonealready?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies  
have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments  
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic  
of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be  
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested  
that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory  
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with  
cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the  
absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22  
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which  
people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what the results of  
such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or  
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other  
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health  
effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can  
answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone  
use in these studies was around three years.  
WhatresearchisneededtodecidewhetherRFexposurefromwireless  
phonesposesahealthrisk?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people  
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.  
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,  
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a  
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
285  
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’ follow-up  
may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.  
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing  
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The  
interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in  
measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many  
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or  
which model of phone is used.  
WhatisFDAdoingtofindoutmoreaboutthepossiblehealtheffectsof  
wirelessphoneRF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of  
investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are  
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization  
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.  
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda  
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs  
around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public  
information documents on EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a  
formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do  
research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,  
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic  
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to  
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory  
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a  
broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest  
research developments around the world.  
WhatstepscanItaketoreducemyexposuretoradiofrequencyenergyfrom  
mywirelessphone?  
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there  
is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even  
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a  
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will  
reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day,  
you could place more distance between your body and the source of the  
RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For  
example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from  
your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
286  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.  
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can  
use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from  
wireless phone use.  
Whataboutchildrenusingwirelessphones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,  
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless  
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will  
reduce RF exposure.  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that  
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the  
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a  
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that  
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their  
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly  
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard  
exists.  
Whataboutwirelessphoneinterferencewithmedicalequipment?  
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some  
electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method  
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is  
now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of  
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical  
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This  
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and  
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and  
helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and  
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no  
interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a  
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the  
IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions  
with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA  
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.  
WhichotherfederalagencieshaveresponsibilitiesrelatedtopotentialRF  
healtheffects?  
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring,  
researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
287  
These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and  
Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information  
Administration (NTIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).  
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops  
performance standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products  
including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave  
ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product  
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF  
leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance  
standards for other RF-emitting products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal  
health agency in monitoring the latest research developments and advising  
other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used by the  
public, such as cellular and PCS phones.  
The FDA’s microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an  
exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured  
at five centimeters from the oven surface). The standard also requires ovens to  
have two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating  
microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is  
opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used  
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations are safe for consumer and  
industrial use. More information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.  
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public  
exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health  
are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an  
Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF health-  
related activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory  
responsibilities in this area.  
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous  
chemical and physical agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for  
exposure of workers to RF radiation [29 CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was  
later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory. Moreover, it was based on an  
earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the present time,  
OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes  
under OSHA’s “general duty clause” (for more information see:http://www.osha-  
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts  
research and investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to  
chemical and physical agents. NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF  
exposure guidelines for workers, but final guidelines were never adopted by the  
agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through its Physical Agents  
Effects Branch in Cincinnati,Ohio.  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
288  
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible  
for authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum.  
Like the FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered  
adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government  
transmitters such as radar and military facilities.  
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological  
effects of RF energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted  
primarily at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force  
Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed  
with other sites in conjunction with a question on other sources of information,  
below.  
Whofundsandcarriesoutresearchonthebiologicaleffectsof  
RFenergy?  
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in  
laboratories in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most  
research has been funded by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive  
military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters.  
In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug  
Administration (FDA), have sponsored and conducted research in this area. At  
the present time, most of the non-military research on biological effects of RF  
energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry organizations. More research is  
being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.  
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International  
EMF Project to review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of  
health concerns over the use of RF technology. WHO maintains a Web site that  
provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological effects  
and research (www.who.ch/peh-emf).  
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and  
safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor  
developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.  
HowdoesFCCAuditCellPhoneRF?  
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed,  
FCC will occasionally conduct “post-grant” testing to determine whether  
production versions of the phone are being produced to conform with FCC  
regulatory requirements. The manufacturer of a cell phone that does not meet  
FCC’s regulatory requirements may be required to remove the cell phone from  
use and to refund the purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may  
be subject to civil or criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a  
risk of injury to the user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most  
important post-grant test, from a consumer’s perspective, is testing of the RF  
emissions of the phone. FCC measures the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of the  
phone, following a very rigorous testing protocol. As is true for nearly any  
scientific measurement, there is a possibility that the test measurement may be  
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines  
289  
less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference  
between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is because test  
measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test measurement  
and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors. This  
inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.When FCC  
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any  
measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is  
appropriate. This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it  
will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.  
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell  
phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current  
understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF  
emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a risk of injury  
to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an  
SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement uncertainty  
permitted by current measurement standards was added to the maximum  
permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well below any level known  
to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC’s approach with measurement  
uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any known risk from  
the RF emitted by cellular telephones.  
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute  
effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure  
to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many  
years). If new information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC’s  
measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both  
agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.

wireless device and we are not responsible for any defects or for the acts or  
omissions of the manufacturer. The only warranties on your device are any limited  
warranties extended by the manufacturer directly to you or passed on to you  
through us. Your device may not accept Services directly from any other carrier.  
You do not have any rights to any number, e-mail address or other identifier we may  
assign to your device or account; you may not modify, change or transfer any of  
these except as we allow or as allowed for by law. In certain instances, you may  
transfer your number from another carrier to us, or from us to another carrier. We  
do not guarantee that transfers to or from us will be successful. If you transfer your  
number away from us, the terms of this Agreement (e.g., Early Termination Fee,  
etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be responsible for  
any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your device. See our printed in-  
store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important information on  
number transfers.

Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our  
mapping brochures and at www.sprintpcs.com. This may include coverage on our  
digital network (the “Sprint Nationwide PCS Network”) as well as coverage we  
make available to you through agreements with other carriers (“off network” or  
“roaming” coverage).

signalstrength, yourequipment, structures(includingbuildingsinwhichyoumaybe

RoamingCoverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are  
roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless  
included as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls  
placed “manually” (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur  
separate and additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may  
automatically roam if there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Sprint  
Nationwide PCS Network coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your  
phone guide for how to adjust phone settings. Certain features and services may  
not be available in roaming coverage areas (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call  
waiting, call forwarding, etc.).  
Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges  
based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly  
recurring charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long  
distance, roaming, call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other  
time based usage charges are calculated from when your device first initiates  
contact with a network until the network connection is broken, whether or not  
you were actually successful in connecting to the intended destination. However,  
you will not be charged for voice calls that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a  
busy signal. For voice calls received by your device, you are charged from the time  
shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated. You are charged  
for an entire voice call based on the time period in which the call is initiated. Partial  
minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
295  
SprintPCSVisionCharges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes. Bytes  
are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock hour  
while in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you based  
on the terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be charged  
against an allowance or on a fixed price per kilobyte. Usage charges may be  
rounded up to the next cent at monthly or other intervals. In certain instances, you  
may not know that your session has not ended. As long as your device is connected  
to our network, you will incur data usage charges. You will be charged for all data  
directed to the internet address (or “IP address”) assigned to your device,  
regardless of who initiates the activity or whether your device actually receives the  
data. This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of data associated with the  
particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.), additional data used in  
accessing, transporting and routing this information/item on our network, data  
from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data associated with  
unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. Based on these and a  
number of other factors (e.g., the specific application, network performance, etc.)  
data used and charged to you will vary widely, even for the same activity. Estimates  
of data usage - for example, the size of downloadable files - will not be accurate or a  
reliable predictor of actual usage. Your invoice will not separately identify the  
number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or services.  
TaxesandSurcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by or  
remitted directly to federal, state, local or foreign governments including, without  
limitation, sales, gross receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If you  
claim any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.  
Tax exemptions are not applied retroactively. We also invoice you for surcharges  
that we collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government  
programs such as number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service; these  
charges are not the taxes nor government imposed assessments.  
Invoicing&Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.  
Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are generally invoiced one  
invoicing cycle in advance. Other charges are invoiced soon after they are  
incurred. Most usage is generally applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are  
incurred, but in some instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles.  
You are responsible for all charges associated with any device activated on your  
account, regardless of who used the device. You must pay all charges by the due  
date on the invoice. Pastdueamountsaccruelatechargesuntilpaidattherateof5%  
permonthoratthehighestrateallowedbylawandmayresultinimmediate  
suspensionofyouraccount. If you agree to any auto-payment option through  
banking or credit account, we may initiate payment from the account for all  
amounts we invoice you without additional authorization or notice. Based on your  
credit or payment history, we may require certain forms of guaranteed payment as a  
condition of maintaining Services. If we invoice you for amounts on behalf of a  
third-party, payments received are first applied to amounts due to us. You may be  
charged additional fees for certain methods of payment and for payments denied by  
a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked “paid in full”) does  
not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
296  
DisputedCharges. Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must be raised within  
60 days of the date of the invoice. You accept all charges not disputed in this time  
period. Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your  
invoice.  
AccountSpendingLimit&Deposits. We may impose an account spending limit  
(“ASL”) on any account without notice. We will notify you of an ASL based on your  
credit or payment history and may reduce the ASL at any time with prior notice. An  
ASL should not be relied on to manage usage on your account. We may suspend an  
account without prior notice when the account balance reaches the ASL, even if  
the account is not past due. Services can be restored upon payment of an amount  
that brings the account balance below the ASL and any past due amounts. If we  
require a deposit for you to establish or maintain an account, we will hold the  
deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the deposit  
amount at any time with notice for good reason. Except as we allow, a deposit may  
not be used to pay any invoice or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of  
time we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are determined based  
on your credit and payment history. The rate of interest, if any, on the deposit is  
subject to change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If your account is  
terminated for any reason, we may without notice apply your deposit to any  
outstanding charges. We may send any remaining deposit amounts to your last  
known address within 75 days after account termination. If the funds are returned  
to us, you may claim these funds for one year from the date of return. Any money  
held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit and are  
subject to a servicing fee charged against the balance. You forfeit any portion of the  
money left after the one-year period.  
OtherSprintPCSVisionTerms. You will not receive voice calls while using Vision.  
Vision is not available for use with server devices or host computer applications,  
other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitutes  
for private lines or frame relay connections. Unlimited Vision plans/options may  
not be used with Sprint PCS phones or smart phones being used as a modem in  
connection with other equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) through use of  
connection kits or other phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth or  
other wireless technology. We may terminate services without notice for any  
misuse. You may have access to certain games, ringers, screen savers and other  
items on our Vision site (“Premium Services”) that are available for an additional  
charge. You will be billed for Premium Service purchases on your Sprint PCS  
invoice based on the charges as specified at purchase. Subject to the terms of the  
content purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium items downloaded  
to any storage areas we may provide, including any pictures, games and other  
content. We may limit the amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a  
specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period).  
VoiceCommand. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed  
through the Voice Command feature. See our printed in-store materials or visit  
www.sprintpcs.com for additional important information on this option.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
297  
WirelessWeb. Wireless Web Services may be available depending on your device  
and Service plan/option. This is not a Vision service. Usage is calculated on minutes  
used and generally deducts from your Service plan minutes. See our printed in-  
store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important information on  
this option.  
LostorStolenEquipment. If your device is lost or stolen, please notify us  
immediately by calling 1-888-211-4PCS. Youareresponsibleforallchargesincurred  
beforeyounotifyusofthelossortheft. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in  
investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.  
Messaging. You may incur charges in accessing, sending or receiving messages on  
your device. We may impose limits on the number of voicemail, text, email or other  
messages that can be retained through your account. Indicators of messages on  
your device, including mailbox icons, may not always provide an up to date  
indication of new messages and you may at times need to manually reset or clear  
your mailbox indicator. Legitimate messages may be interrupted by software aimed  
at prevention of SPAM or similar messages.  
CallerID. If you do not want people you call to receive the number assigned to your  
phone, call us at 1-888-211-4PCS for information about automatic Caller ID  
blocking. The number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by  
dialing *67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key). Caller ID blocking is not  
available when using Vision or Wireless Web services.  
TTYAccess. A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a  
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or  
who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. TTY  
doesn’t work with all devices. If you have a TTY-capable device, it may not function  
effectively, or at all, when attempting 911 calls and should not be relied on for such  
calls.  
DisclaimerofWarranties. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OF WARRANTIES,  
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY  
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES OR WIRELESS DEVICE. WE DO NOT  
PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND YOU AGREE TO  
HOLD US HARMLESS FOR ALL SUCH PROBLEMS.

including deficiencies or problems with your wireless device, our network  
coverage or Services (e.g., dropped, blocked, interrupted calls/messages, etc.); (c)  
traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly arising from the use  
of Services, any wireless devices or related accessories; (d) content or information  
accessed while using our Services, such as through the internet; (e) interruption or  
failure in accessing or attempting to access emergency services from your phone,  
including through 911, E911 or otherwise; or (f) events due to factors beyond our

TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.  
MANDATORYARBITRATIONOFDISPUTES. INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU  
AND SPRINT AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES OR  
DISPUTES AGAINST EACH OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS  
AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SERVICES, ANY  
PHONES/EQUIPMENT, OR ADVERTISING, EVEN IF IT ARISES AFTER YOUR  
SERVICES HAVE TERMINATED, AND INCLUDING CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING  
AGAINST SPRINT’S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER  
REPRESENTATIVES, OR THAT SPRINT MAY BRING AGAINST YOU (“CLAIMS”).  
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS  
PROVISIONS, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS OF WHETHER A CLAIM  
IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. THIS PROVISION DOES NOT PREVENT EITHER  
YOU OR SPRINT FROM BRINGING APPROPRIATE CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS  
COURT, BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OR A STATE  
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.  
YOU AND SPRINT FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL JOIN  
ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN A  
LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING; THAT NO CLAIM EITHER  
SPRINT OR YOU HAS AGAINST THE OTHER SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-  
WIDE BASIS; AND THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL ASSERT A CLAIM IN A  
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE. IF FOR ANY  
REASON THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO A CLAIM, WE  
AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
299  
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The  
arbitration will be filed with and the arbitrator will be selected according to the  
rules of either JAMS or the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”), or, alternatively, as  
we may mutually agree. We agree to act in good faith in selecting an arbitrator. The  
arbitration will be conducted by and under the then-applicable rules of JAMS or  
NAF, wherever the arbitration is filed or, if the arbitrator is chosen by mutual  
agreement of the parties, the then-applicable rules of JAMS will apply unless the  
parties agree otherwise. All expedited procedures prescribed by the applicable  
rules will apply. We agree to pay our respective arbitration costs, except as  
otherwise required by rules of JAMS or NAF, as applicable, but the arbitrator can  
apportion these costs as appropriate. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final  
and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with  
jurisdiction.  
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to  
arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration,  
the party filing that action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred  
in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including attorneys’ fees.  
If any portion of this Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes section is determined to be  
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Section remains in full force and  
effect.  
Miscellaneous. You may notify us by calling us at 1-888-211-4PCS, or use that  
number to get our current address for written notice. We may send you notice to  
your last known address in our invoicing records, or by calling leaving you a voice  
message on your wireless device or home phone. Properly addressed written  
notice is effective three days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid. This  
Agreement is governed by and must be construed under federal law and the laws of  
the State of Kansas, without regard to choice of law principles. If either of us  
waives or fails to enforce any requirement under this Agreement in any one  
instance, that does not waive our right to later enforce that requirement. If any part  
of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement  
remains in full force and effect. Section headings are for descriptive, non-  
interpretive purposes only. You may not assign this Agreement to any other person  
or entity without our prior written approval. This Agreement (including any  
referenced documents and attachments) makes up the entire agreement between  
us and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements.

during the registration process and, occasionally, at other times while using the  
Service. All uses of your information will be in accordance with our privacy policy,  
as set forth in the following Privacy Policy. As this policy may be updated from time  
to time, a current version can be found at www.sprintpcs.com.  
PRIVACYPOLICY  
(a) Sprint respects the privacy of its customers, and other individuals and  
businesses using the Websites owned and operated by Sprint and its Affiliates  
(“Sprint Websites”). This updated Privacy Policy effective October 22, 2001, is to  
keep you informed about the types of information collected on Sprint Websites and  
how the information is used and protected. The revised Privacy Policy includes  
information about advertisements on Sprint Websites and access to your account  
information.  
Sprint protects the privacy of its local, long distance and wireless customers  
consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act and rules and regulations  
issued by the Federal Communications Commission.  
Sprint’s Privacy Policy for its high speed Internet services can be accessed at:  
There are two types of information that may be exchanged between the Sprint site  
and the user during each visit to a Sprint site. They are:  
1. General technical data transmitted between your computer and the Sprint site  
that does not identify you personally.  
2. Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily share. The types of  
personally identifiable information that you might share include your name,  
address, phone number, email address and credit card number.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
303  
(b)AnonymousInformation  
In order to provide you with the information and services that you look for from the  
Sprint Websites, Sprint gathers certain types of information from you that are not  
personally identifiable. This is called anonymous information and includes:  
1. The type of Internet browser you use when you visit  
2. The types of computer operating system you use  
3. The search engine you use to access the Sprint Websites (such as “AOL.com,”  
“Yahoo.com” or “Go.com”)  
4. The specific Sprint Website that you visit (sprint.com, sprintpcs.com, etc.).  
The anonymous information collected is not associated with you personally or  
your business. Sprint uses this anonymous information in the aggregate to improve  
Sprint Websites and the services we provide through those sites.  
(c)UseOfCookies  
Sprint Websites may use “cookies” to collect the anonymous information described  
in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of encrypted data that are loaded by a Sprint  
server onto your computer or other device when you visit a Sprint Website. The  
server can retrieve the cookies the next time you visit a site and use them to identify  
the computer as a return visitor. Sprint uses cookies to collect non-personally  
identifiable information and generically track usage patterns on the Sprint Websites  
in order to monitor activity and administer the sites. Sprint also uses information  
obtained from cookies to improve Sprint Websites, and make decisions concerning  
advertising, product offerings and services. Most users can disable cookies from  
their Internet browsers, receive a warning before a cookie is placed on their  
computer, and erase all cookies from their computer hard drives by following the  
instructions provided by the browser.  
(d)AdvertisementsOnSprintWebsites  
Advertising companies deliver ads on some Sprint Websites. You should be aware  
that when you click on these ads, the advertising companies may also deploy  
cookies to receive anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on  
Sprint Websites and other Websites. This information is associated with your Web  
browser, but cannot be associated with your name or email address without your  
permission. Therefore, advertising companies may know where your computer  
goes on the Web, but they do not know who you are unless you tell them. Sprint  
does not provide personally identifiable information about its customers or Sprint  
Website visitors to these advertising companies.  
(e)PersonallyIdentifiableInformation  
Sprint may ask you to provide what is often referred to as “personally identifiable  
information” such as your name, address, telephone number and email address  
when you use Sprint Websites to: purchase a service or product online, enter a  
contest or sweepstakes, ask to receive information, respond to a survey, register  
with a Sprint Website, access your account, ask for a personalized service, request  
customer service online, or apply for a job. You always have the alternative of  
mailing or calling Sprint with the information requested if you do not wish to  
provide it online. Personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
304  
to order Sprint services other than Internet services will be protected in the same  
manner as when the information is provided by other means such as over the  
telephone or by mail. We protect customer information obtained from the local,  
long distance and wireless service customers of Sprint consistent with federal laws  
governing telecommunications services and with regulations issued by the Federal  
Communications Commission. Sprint’s Privacy Policy for its Internet services can  
We use personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website in the  
following ways unless otherwise specified:  
1. For its intended purpose (such as to complete an online order for service).  
2. To provide you with information about new Sprint PCS Products and Services  
or products and services offered in conjunction with Sprint business partners.  
(f)DisclosureToThirdParties  
Sprint will not sell or disclose to outside parties any personally identifiable  
information obtained from a Sprint online service or the registration at a Sprint  
Website without your consent except under the following circumstances:  
1. When required by law,  
2. When disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a customer, third party or  
Sprint’s property,  
3. If it is required in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a portion of  
Sprint’s assets.  
When Sprint uses agents, contractors or other companies to perform services on  
its behalf, Sprint will require that they protect your personally identifiable  
information consistent with this Privacy Policy. Sprint may share the anonymous  
information described in this Privacy Policy with third parties from time-to-time.  
(g)EmailCommunications  
Email is an increasingly popular communication tool through which you and your  
business may communicate with Sprint. Likewise, Sprint may use email to  
communicate with you, respond to your email, and to tell you about new products  
and services. If you do not wish to receive email promotions and new products and  
service announcements from Sprint, please follow the instructions that appear at  
the end of the email communication that you receive from Sprint to have your  
name removed from the list.  
(h)Security  
Sprint utilizes several encryption methods to ensure that the data you submit on  
any of the Sprint Websites is secure. Through this “secure session,” information  
that you input into a Sprint online order form will be sent and will arrive privately  
and unaltered at a Sprint server. This security prohibits access to your information  
by other companies and Web users.  
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty  
305  
(i)Children  
Sprint does not intend to collect personally identifiable information from  
individuals under 18 years of age. If Sprint becomes aware that a user who is under  
18 is using a Sprint Website, Sprint will specifically instruct that individual that they  
are not to submit information on Sprint Websites without a parent or guardian’s  
consent. If a child has provided Sprint with personally identifiable information  
without the knowledge of Sprint, a parent or guardian of the child may contact  
Sprint at [email protected] and Sprint will delete the child’s information from  
our existing files.  
(j)Links  
Some Sprint Websites contain links to other Websites that are owned and operated
