TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint  
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 via a 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer  
Service SolutionsSM via the state Telecommunications Relay  
Service (TRS) by first dialing  
. Then provide  
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.  
Section 2: Understanding Your PCS Phone  
2B: Controlling Your Phone’s Settings 37

connected to the headset jack may be impaired.  
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.

sends a notification to your phone when you have new  
voice messages and an asterisk (*) is displayed in front of the  
Voicemail menu option. (See “Using Voicemail” on page 79.)  
PCS Messages (appear on your phone’s menu as Page/Text

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones  
art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is learning how  
P
the phone works and how to care for it. This section outlines  
performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the  
basic features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 101  
 
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the  
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to  
the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger  
the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a window may  
give you better reception.  
Understanding the Power Save Feature  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of  
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your  
phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or  
you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the  
Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen.  
When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When  
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF)  
signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006  
watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety  
The design of your PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)  
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with  
respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120  
scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,  
government health agencies and industries developed this  
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research.  
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)  
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996,  
the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing  
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NCRP).  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
102 4A: Safety  
 
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
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. If it’s inoperable, return  
it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer Service SolutionsSM  
for service.  
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 and Access to  
Your Phone  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY  
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE  
PROPERTY DAMAGE  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone  
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.  
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
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.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 103  
 
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 911 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.  
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store.  
You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by  
dialing  
on your PCS Phone.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow  
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in  
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference  
or danger.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from  
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or  
their representative to determine if these systems are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with  
the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added  
to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such  
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have  
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the  
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in  
the air.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your  
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to  
set off explosives.  
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your  
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could  
cause an explosion or a 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, just 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.  
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone  
Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to  
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,  
damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers.  
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using  
other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may  
cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
temperatures that range from 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)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries  
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your  
nearest Sprint-authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the  
FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close  
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to  
stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or  
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection  
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the  
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,  
Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.  
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of  
any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the  
phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to  
the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending or sitting on it.  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or  
approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.  
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the  
antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body  
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may  
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC  
Web site at www.fcc.gov.  
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information  
4A: Safety 107  
   
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,  
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how  
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their  
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in  
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the  
level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors  
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design  
and other factors. What is important to remember is that each  
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not  
represent a variation in safety.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates  
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in  
SAR values between different model phones do not mean  
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard  
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the 1200 are:  
PCS mode (Part 24E) - Head: 0.830 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.304 W/kg  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
Guidelines. FCC ID number: BEJLX1200. More information on  
the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site:
