When you are using your phones Features menu,  
you will see an “F” followed by a two-digit number.  
The two-digit number lets you know which menu  
item you are accessing. For example, F51 indicates  
the Key Guard function. (See page 57 for a complete  
list of menu items and numbers.) When you are  
using the phone book or Calls List, you will see the  
location of the number you’ve accessed. (See page

Curved arrows on the screen (

more options or more information by turning the dial. For example,  
on the standby screen you will see curved arrows preceding the  
words “Phone List.” When you turn the dial from the standby screen,  
you will see the two Phone List options: “Calls List” and “Phone  
Book.” Turn the dial again and you will see either the first entry in  
your Calls List or the first entry in your phone book. (See page 27 for  
more information on the phone book and Calls List.) When only one  
curved arrow is displayed, the phone is prompting to you to turn the  
dial in that one direction.

Battery: Putting in  
the pow er.  
Your new Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery.  
Be sure to keep your battery charged in order to get the most talk  
time and standby time. When the phone is in standby mode, your  
battery’s charge should last approximately 20 hours. When your  
phone is used continuously, the charge will last about two hours.

Installing and rem oving your battery pack.  
To install the battery pack, simply place it into the top of the  
opening at a 45 angle and gently slide the battery pack down  
until the latch clicks.  
To remove the battery pack, turn the phone upside down and  
press the battery release latch up while lifting the battery pack  
out of the phone.  
Charging your battery.  
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged just  
by checking the upper-right corner of your phones display screen.  
The more black you see in the battery icon, the more power you  
have left. When the battery is nearly empty, the battery icon will blink,

the phone will sound a tone, then very soon the phone will turn off.  
Unfortunately, you’ll lose whatever you were just doing if this happens.  
So, watch the battery icon to make sure the level is sufficient.  
Charging w ith the phone turned on.  
The battery icon (  
) will flash to let you know that the  
battery is charging. When the icon stops flashing, the battery is fully  
charged.  
To charge your batteries, use only an approved AC adapter, desktop  
charger, cigarette lighter adapter, travel adapter or hands-free car kit.  
(For more information on these accessories, see the product user  
guide for each.)  
Charging w hen the phone is off.  
When your phone is turned off, the display screen will display the  
message “Battery is Charging, Power is Off” and the battery icon  
(
) will flash. When the battery is fully charged, the display

screen will tell you “Charging is Complete, Power is Off” and the  
will stop flashing. The battery will charge more quickly  
when the phone is off.  
Be careful to use only the AC adapter you received with your Sprint  
PCS Phone or another approved charger. Using the wrong one could  
damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.  
Thanks to your phones special design, you can recharge the battery  
using only the AC adapter. Simply attach one end of the AC adapter to  
the connector at the bottom of your phone and plug the other end  
into a standard wall outlet. If your battery’s charge is completely run  
down, it’ll take approximately three hours to fully recharge. It isn’t  
necessary to let the battery completely run down before recharging it.

Understanding how your phone operates.  
Usage guidelines: All about  
perform ance and safety.  
Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When its turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)  
signals. Your phone operates in the frequency range of 1851 MHz to  
1989 MHz. The power level can range from approximately 0.01mW  
to approximately 300mW. When your phone is in use, the system  
handling your call controls the power level.  
Keeping tabs on signal strength.  
The voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always be at its best  
when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception  
may be better near a window.  
Radio frequency safety.  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal  
strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current  
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength  
icon. The more bars, the stronger the signal. (See page 10 for an  
illustration of the signal strength indicator.)  
In 1991-1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institutes (ANSI) joined  
in updating ANSIs 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).  
Understanding the Pow er Save m ode.  
If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where there is no  
signal, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve  
battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a signal for 15  
minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically recheck service  
availability, or you can do so yourself manually by pressing any key.  
A message will be displayed on the screen any time Power Save has  
been activated.  
60  
61  
 
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated  
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further  
than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of  
your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.  
Protecting your battery.  
Follow these guidelines for the best battery performance:  
þ Only use approved battery packs and desktop and travel chargers.  
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other  
batteries or chargers will void your warranty and may cause  
damage as well.  
Maintaining your phones peak perform ance.  
To operate your phone properly — that is, to maintain safe and  
satisfactory service — you should follow these rules:  
þ To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures ranging  
from 40°F to 104°F.  
þ For best reception, extend the antenna fully.  
þ Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.  
þ Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.  
þ Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.  
þ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
þ Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
þ Never dispose of the battery pack by burning.  
þ Keep the metal contacts at the top of the battery pack clean.  
þ Do not allow the battery contacts to touch metal materials.  
þ Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your phone or  
accessories to rain or moisture. If your phone does get wet,  
turn the power off immediately and remove the battery pack. If it is  
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS  
Customer Care for service.  
þ You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used for  
a long time.  
þ Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before  
it will need to be replaced.  
62  
63  
 
Disposal of batteries.  
Follow ing safety guidelines.  
You can return your unwanted batteries to your nearest Sony Service  
Center or Factory Service Center. For the Sony Service Center nearest  
you call 1-800-222-SONY (United States only).  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always follow  
any special regulations in a given area and turn your phone off in  
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or  
danger.  
Note: In some areas, the disposal of rechargeable batteries in  
household or business trash may be prohibited.  
Using your phone near other electronic devices.  
Most modern electrical equipment is shielded from radio frequency  
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS phones may affect  
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
Using your phone w hile driving.  
Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your attention  
from the road and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes  
first.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.  
Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine  
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
You should also check with the manufacturer regarding any  
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
When using your Sprint PCS Phone in the car:  
þ Focus on driving, not talking.  
þ Use a Hands-Free Car Kit (optional accessory).  
If you must use the phone while driving, please use Speed Dial or  
Touch Dial.  
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.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS  
PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission  
before using the phone near medical equipment.

resulting in bodily injury or even death.  
Turn off your phone before flying.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any other area where you would  
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.  
You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any  
aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, US  
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.  
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Restricting childrens access to your phone.  
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy and should not be played with by  
children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone  
or make calls that increase your telephone bills.  
Cautions.  
Any changes or modifications to your Sprint PCS Phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this equip-  
ment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use  
approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any other type  
will invalidate the warranty.  
Turn 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.  
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.  
If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care by  
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories  
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire  
pressing  
(in southern California, press  
).

And, finally, 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.
