Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

⽧

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 digital dual-band

A580 by Samsung® works anywhere on the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other 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

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 ( ).

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 or Sprint Power 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.

72

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 time.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1.

Dial 1 + area code + your Sprint PCS 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.

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 on your digital dual- band phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1.

Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.

2.

To select an option, highlight it and press .

䡲 Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

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

䡲

䡲

Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Sprint allows you to access the Nationwide

Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

73

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.

Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2.

Highlight On or Off and press .

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

.

2.

Select Roam Call ( ).

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1.

Press

.

2.

Select Answer ( ).

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

74

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Data Roaming

The data roaming option allows you to send and receive data while you are out of your normal coverage area. All applicable charges apply for accessing the available network.

To turn data roaming on or off:

1.

Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Data Roaming.

2.

Highlight On or Off and press

䢇

䢇

䢇

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.

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.

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.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

162

Section 4A: Important Safety Information

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to

Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.

Check with your local service provider for details.

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.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint

Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline SM at 1-800-974-

2221 or by dialing #222 on your 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 radio frequency (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.

Section 4A: Important Safety Information

163

Note: Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

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 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:

䢇 Fueling areas such as gas stations.

䢇 Below deck on boats.

䢇

䢇

䢇

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, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

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.

164

Section 4A: Important Safety Information

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid

Device

Your Sprint PCS® Phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless 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 have been rated will have an “M3” or “M4” rating on the box.

Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone A580 by Samsung has an M3 rating.

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

The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone and hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and degree of your hearing loss.

The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:

䢇

䢇

䢇

Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.

Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.”

Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store.

With the Sprint® 14 Day Risk Free Guarantee you may return the phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

䢇

䢇

2.

Select Main Display or Keypad and press .

3.

Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded antennae may produce more interference.

Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.

Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

䢇

Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.

It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.

Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint PCS®

Phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or call

1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (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 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).

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. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov

.

168

Section 4A: Important Safety Information

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 A580 are:

CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.671 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.11 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 1.33 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.647 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
