Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need to do is unlock it.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the activation card included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1.

Press and hold

O

to turn the phone on.

2.

Press Unlock (right softkey).

Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.

3.

Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes, the code is not visible as you type.)

Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your Social Security number or wireless phone number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call

Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

All unanswered calls to your phone are automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want to set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1.

From standby mode, press and hold

1

.

2.

Follow the system prompts to:

䡲

Create your passcode

䡲 Record your name announcement

䡲 Record your greeting

䡲 Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch

Message Access (a feature that lets you access messages simply by pressing and holding

1

, bypassing the need for you to enter your passcode)

Note: Voicemail Passcode

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail account, Sprint recommends that you enable your voicemail passcode.

For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using

Voicemail” on page 92.

Customer Service. Your default account password is the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not the account owner (if someone else receives the invoice for your

Sprint PCS Service), you can get a sub-account password at www.sprint.com

.

Voicemail Password

You'll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on page 92 for more information on your voicemail password.

Sprint PCS Vision® Password

With your C290 by Motorola®, you may elect to set up a Sprint PCS

Vision password. This optional password may be used to authorize purchase of Premium Services content and to protect personal information on multi-phone accounts.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. 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

7 1 1 N

. Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1.

Press

# # 8 8 9 #

from standby mode.

(An informational message is displayed.)

2.

Press r

.

3.

Select one of the following options and press r

:

䡲 Disable to disable TTY, VCO, and HCO modes

䡲

TTY (teletypewriter) mode, to send and receive TTY characters

䡲 VCO (Voice Carry Over mode) mode, to receive TTY characters, but transmit by speaking into the microphone

䡲 HCO (Hearing Carry Over) mode, to transmit TTY characters, but receive by listening to the earpiece


47

Note: In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

WARNING 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.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

⽧

Understanding Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new C290 by Motorola® works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint 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

59

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam –.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the

Nationwide Sprint 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.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

60


Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.

Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and

Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

䢇

䢇

䢇

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.

Some features that are standard on the enhanced

Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,

Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See

“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 62)

䢇

䢇

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: When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.


61

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1.

Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

*

.

3.

Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

When you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

62


Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities.

By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1.

Press r

> Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.

2.

To select an option, highlight it and press r

.

䡲 Sprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

䡲 Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.

䡲

Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or

Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.


63

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1.

Press r

> Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2.

Highlight On or Off and press r

.

Note: Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1.

From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number and press r

.

2.

Select Roam Call (

1

).

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1.

Press r

. (A message will be displayed, notifying you that roaming charges will apply.)

2.

Select Answer (

1

).

Note: If the Call Guard feature is set to On , you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

“Connecting...” message when you start the session. Though


the browser is open, you are not currently in an active data session—that is, no data is being sent or received. As soon as you navigate to another page, the active session will start and you will see the “Connecting...” message.

Net Guard

When you first connect to the Web, the Net Guard will appear to confirm that you want to connect. This feature helps you avoid accidental connections. You can disable the Net Guard in the future by selecting Always Auto-Connect when the Net

Guard is displayed.

To change your Net Guard settings:

䊳 Press r

>Settings > PCS Vision > Net Guard.

䡲 On to activate the Net Guard.

䡲 Off to deactivate the Net Guard.

Note: When enabled, the Net Guard appears only once per session.

The Net Guard does not appear if the phone is merely reconnecting due to a time-out.

Sprint PCS Vision 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 page 108.

135

Safety and General Information

This section contains important information on the safe and efficient operation of your mobile device. Read this information before using your mobile device.

1

Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your mobile device contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile device transmits.

Your Motorola mobile device is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions

For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always follow these instructions and precautions.

External Antenna Care

If your mobile device has an external antenna, use only a Motorolasupplied or approved replacement antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the mobile device and/or may result in your device not complying with local regulatory requirements in your country.

DO NOT hold the external antenna when the mobile device is IN USE.

Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the mobile device to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Product Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile device just like you would a landline phone.

If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by

Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters

(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.

1. The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in user’s guides published prior to September 1, 2005.

136


When using any data feature of the mobile device, with or without an accessory cable, position the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body.

Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of

Motorola-supplied or approved accessories, visit our website at www.motorola.com.

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device may cause interference with other devices.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems

Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. These locations include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.

Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker, consult your physician before using this device.

Persons with pacemakers should observe the following precautions:

䢇 ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from your pacemaker when the mobile device is turned ON.

䢇

䢇

䢇

DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.

Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital mobile devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.


137

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult your physician or the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from

RF energy.

Driving Precautions

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using your mobile device while driving, please:

䢇

䢇

䢇

Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a mobile device may be distracting. Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.

Use handsfree operation, if available.

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While

Driving” section at the end of this guide and/or at the Motorola website: www.motorola.com/callsmart.

Operational Warnings

Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas, such as health care facilities or blasting areas.

Automobile Air Bags

Do not place a mobile device in the air bag deployment area.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted, and can include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.

Damaged Products

If your mobile device or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Motorola

Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.

138


Batteries and Chargers

If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury. Be careful when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Use only

Motorola Original ™ batteries and chargers.

Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a fire.

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult with your physician before playing video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.

Repetitive Motion

When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.

Hearing Aid Compatibility With Mobile

Phones

140

Some Motorola phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies.

When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.

Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone


successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone

Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health A-18

Hearing Aid Compatibility professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.

Battery Tips

䢇

䢇

䢇

䢇

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories you use.

Always use Motorola Original batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-

Motorola batteries and/or chargers.

New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.

Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above

45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle.

It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.

Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

Before using your phone, read the battery safety information in the “Safety and General Information” section included in this guide.

Specific Absorption Rate Data

142

This model wireless phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.

Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.1

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the

SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and

Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for review by

Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.53 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.79 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and regulatory requirements).2

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.phonefacts.net


or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) Web site: http://www.cwta.ca

1.

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

2.

The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.

Information from the World Health

Organization

WHO Information Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If you are concerned, you may want to limit your own or your children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using handsfree devices to keep mobile phones away from your head and body.

Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart

SM

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart for more information.

Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember the following tips:

䢇

䢇

Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its features such as speed

dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.

When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with one of the many

Motorola Original™ handsfree accessories available today.

䢇

䢇

䢇

䢇

Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is

not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while


145

䢇 moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be

distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your attention away from the road.

Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.*

Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.*

Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance

number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
