Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

⽧ Understanding Roaming

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Your new Sprint PCS

Vision SM Picture Phone PM-A840 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide 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

87

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

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

Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide

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 Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network.

88

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS

Network, you may 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 Sprint PCS Phone number.

2.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3.

Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

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

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

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

䡲

Sprint allows you to access the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Controlling Roaming Charges Using

Call Guard

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

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1.

Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.

Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services

Using Voice Dial

Voice Dial allows you to dial any valid 7 or 10 digit North

American phone number or contact entry by speaking the number or name naturally, without pausing.

Tips for using Voice Dial:

䢇 Voice Dial works best in quieter environments.

䢇 When saying a number (Digit Dialing), speak at a normal speed and say each digit clearly. There is no need to pause between digits.

䢇 The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh. The phone does not recognize numbers such as “one eight hundred” for “1-800.” Instead, say “one-eight-zero-zero.”

䢇 The phone recognizes only valid 7 or 10 digit North

American phone numbers.

䢇 If your phone does not usually recognize you correctly when you are using Digit Dial, try adapting Digit Dial to your voice, which can significantly improve accuracy

for some speakers. (See “Adapting Digit Dial” on page 149 for details.)

To place a call using Voice Dial:

1.

Activate voice recognition by pressing and holding

. (The phone prompts you for a command.)

2.

Say Voice Dial . (The phone prompts you to say the name or number clearly.)

3.

Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services

Adapting Digit Dial

Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty in achieving high accuracy with speaker independent Digit

Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to dramatically improve the digit accuracy through adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition accuracy will find no additional benefit to performing the

Adapt Digit adaptation.

After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized to your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit

Dial on your phone unless they reset the phone to factory defaults.

Note: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently misrecognizing your speech. You can always restore the system to its original factory setting.

Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes about 3 minutes.

Tips for adapting Digit Dial:

䢇 Adapt digits in a quiet place.

䢇 Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.

䢇 Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.

䢇 If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the recording, you can say or select No when the prompt

(The phone prompts you to say the first sequence of digits.)

8.

Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back your recording and asks you if the recording sounds “OK.”)

䡲 If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no background noises), say Yes .

䡲 If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems, say No . (The phone then prompts you to say the digits again.)

9.

Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.

(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the recording.)

Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services

10.

After confirming that the recording sounds OK, repeat the recording process with the next set of digits.

Part of getting the most out of your Sprint 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 4A: Safety

243

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

244

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; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed 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 Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your Sprint 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 4A: Safety

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

䢇

䢇

䢇

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.

Blocking the internal antenna located in the upper right corner will reduce signal performance.

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.

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 Sprint 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.

Section 4A: Safety

245

246

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.

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 remotecontrol 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.

Section 4A: Safety

䢇

䢇

Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

䢇 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 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.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

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

䢇 Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.

䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).

䢇 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

䢇 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

䢇 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

䢇

䢇

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.

Section 4A: Safety

247

䢇 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.

䢇 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 (Li-Ion) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion 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 Li-Ion battery.

248

Section 4A: Safety

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

This 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 (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections

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

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

.

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.

Section 4A: Safety

249

250

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 Sprint PCS Vision SM Picture

Phone ® PM-A840 by Samsung ® are:

AMPS mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.777 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.849 W/kg

Sprint PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 1.29 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.292

W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
