P
art of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is learning how
the phone works and how to care for it. This section outlines
performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the
basic features of your phone’s operation.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 199 
						

							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 Solutions
SM
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.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 201
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 0.01µ
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 a hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP).

							Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in
the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn 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, 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 thecompartment 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.
Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
4A: Safety 203
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.
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 requestpermission before using the phone near medical equipment.

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.
Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the

protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
