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

Guide brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1.

Press and hold

E to turn the phone on.

2.

Press Unlock (left 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 Sprint PCS Phone number or try 0000 or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at: 1-888-

211-4PCS (4727).

Section 1A: Setting Up Service


All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS 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

Sprint PCS Phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1.

Press and hold 1 .

2.

Follow the system prompts to:

Create your pass code

Record your name announcement

Record your greeting

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 pass code)

Note: If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail account, Sprint recommends you enable your voicemail pass code.

For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using

Voicemail”on page 214.

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

Voicemail Password

You’ll create your voicemail password (or pass code) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail”on page 5 for more information on your voicemail password.

Features of Your Sprint PCS Phone

Congratulations on the purchase of your Sprint PCS Ready Link

Phone. The RL-4930 by Sanyo is lightweight, easy-to-use, and reliable, and it also offers many significant features and service options. The following list previews some of those features and options and provides page numbers where you can find out more:

Digital Dual-band/tri-mode capability allows you to make and receive calls while on the nationwide Sprint PCS network and to roam on other analog and 800 and 1900

MHz digital networks where Sprint has implemented

roaming agreements (page 103).

Sprint PCS Vision SM provides access to the wireless Internet

in digital mode (page 235).

Sprint PCS Mail and Text and Voice SMS Messaging provide quick and convenient messaging capabilities

(pages 243, 224, and 228 respectively).

Sprint PCS Voice Command SM lets you dial phone numbers by speaking someone’s name or the digits of their phone

number (page 261).

Games, ringers, screen savers, and other applications can be downloaded to your phone to make your Sprint PCS

Phone unique, just like you (page 248). Additional charges

may apply.

The built-in Calendar offers several personal information management features to help you manage your busy

lifestyle (page 138).

Speed dial lets you dial phone numbers with one key press

(page 42).


The Contacts directory (page 125) can store up to 700

numbers and 500 email and Web addresses in 500 entries

(entries can store up to seven numbers each). A separate

Sprint PCS Ready Link Contacts List (page 187) provides

easy access to up to 200 personal contacts and 200 company-provided contacts.

Sprint PCS Ready Link allows you to enjoy quick, two-way,

“walkie-talkie-style”communication with one or several

Sprint PCS Ready Link users (page 183).

The Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) lets you place

and receive calls by speaking to your phone (page 158).

Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

To turn your phone on:

Press and hold E for approximately 2 seconds.

Once your phone is on, it may display “Looking for Service...,” which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal.

When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.

When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).

Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone Off

To turn your phone off:

Press and hold

E for two seconds until you see the powering down animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 3 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately 5 minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

To install the LiIon battery:

1.

Place the battery into the space beneath the antenna with the metal contacts at the bottom, facing downward.

2.

Gently press down until it’s in place and the battery release latch snaps.


Removing the Battery

To remove your battery:

1.

Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose any stored numbers or messages.

2.

Push the battery release latch up and hold the battery.

3.

Pull the battery up and out at a 45-degree angle.

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were currently working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Warning: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.


Using the Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

1.

Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

2.

Plug the other end of the travel charger into the charger jack on the bottom of your phone (with the battery installed).

When your phone is turned on:

The battery icon animates while charging.

> > > >

The battery icon turns to when charging is complete.

When your phone is turned off:

The battery icon appears while charging.

The battery icon turns to when charging is complete.

It takes approximately 5.5 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable is 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

Section 2D

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

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 RL-4930 by

Sanyo 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 103

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 , and on an analog system, 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: Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the nationwide Sprint PCS network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), 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.

104 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

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, Sprint PCS

Ready Link, and Sprint PCS Voice Command, may 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:

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

Some features which are standard on the enhanced nationwide Sprint PCS network, such as call waiting,

Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link and direct international dialing, may not be available.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the nationwide Sprint PCS network. (See

“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on the

next page.)

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 analog mode, the phone may feel warm.

This is normal for analog operation.


Checking for Voicemail MessagesWhile Roaming

When you are roaming off the nationwide Sprint 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 nationwide Sprint PCS network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.


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.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual- band/ trimode phone to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1.


2.


3.


4.

Select Set Mode and press M .

5.

Select an option from the following and press M .

Sprint Only allows you to access the nationwide

Sprint PCS network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

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

Roaming Only seeks roaming service only (either analog or digital). The previous setting (Sprint Only or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.


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 or access data services while roaming. (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


2.


3.


4.

Select Call Guard and press M .

5.



To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1.

From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number. (You can also initiate a call from the Contacts directory, Call History, or Messaging.)

2.

Press

T or

S

(or press Options [right softkey] and highlight Call or Call:Speaker On and press M ).

3.

Press 1 to proceed while the pop-up message is displayed.

- or -

Press any key to erase the pop-up message, press

Options (right softkey), highlight Roam Call , or

Roam:Speaker On , and press

M

.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

Press Options (right softkey), highlight Answer or

Answer:Speaker , and press M .

- or -

1.

Press T or S .

2.

Press

1 to proceed while the pop-up message is displayed.

Reminder: If the Call Guard feature is set to On (the default setting is On ), you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls, even if you have selected the Roaming Only

setting (see page 107).

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Vision

With your Sprint PCS Vision Phone and Sprint PCS Service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of Sprint PCS

Vision. This section will help you learn the basics of using your

Sprint PCS Vision services, including managing your User name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your Sprint PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a Sprint PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a User name.

A user Name typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprint.com.”(For example, the third John

Smith to sign up for Sprint PCS Vision services might have [email protected]

as his User name.)

When you use Sprint PCS Vision services, your User name is submitted to identify you to the nationwide Sprint PCS network. The User name is also useful as an address for Email, as a way to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.

Your User name will be automatically programmed into your

Sprint PCS Vision Phone. You don’t have to enter it.

Owner’s Record

Phone Guide Proprietary Notice

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 269

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; 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 0.01µ 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).

270 Section 4A: Safety

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.

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

2 on your Sprint PCS Phone.

#22

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 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:

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 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

ProtectingYour Battery

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

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

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

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

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

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.

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.

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:

4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposalof Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon 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 LiIon battery.


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. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters from your body when transmitting. 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

.


276

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.
