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

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
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 dual-band/tri-mode
Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the Sprint
Nationwide 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 50
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Roaming
Indicator
Analog
Indicator
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network
Other Digital Networks
Analog Networks
– Analog Roam –
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.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 51
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:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.
Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide 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
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming” on page 53).
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: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 52
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide 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 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.

Multimedia FAQs
1.
How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from Sprint PCS
Video Mail?
Multimedia Service lets you access high-quality video and audio clips provided by external sources. Video Mail lets you capture, upload and share videos that you personally create with your phone's built-in camcorder.
2.
How am I charged for Multimedia Service?
It depends on whether you sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision Plan.
Please see the following options below:
A. Sprint PCS Vision Plan:
With any Sprint PCS Vision Plan (other than the SprintTV
Vision Plan), you can play an unlimited number of video/audio clips on your phone's display as long as you've subscribed to a channel (see next bullet). You also receive access to the Previews channel as a courtesy from Sprint. It doesn't cost you anything to play the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly fee for any channel subscriptions (see the following bullet).
In addition to complimentary access to the Previews channel, you can subscribe to any of the channels listed in the Available Channels section of your Channel
Listings for an additional monthly fee. Clips within these channels will continue to be available to you as long as you continue to pay your monthly channel subscription fee.
B. SprintTV Vision Plan:
With this specific plan, you can play an unlimited number of video/audio clips on your phone's display and, in addition to the Previews channel, this plan includes the SprintTV Channel, giving you a comprehensive selection of audio/video clips from a variety of brands you know. It doesn't cost you anything to play the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly fee for any additional channels to which you subscribe (see the following bullet).
For a monthly subscription fee, you can purchase access to a variety of other channels located in the Available
Channels section of your Channel Listings. Clips within
Section 2K: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player 111
these channels will continue to be available to you as long as you continue to pay your monthly channel subscription fee.
C. Any plan other than a Sprint PCS Vision Plan:
If you do not sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision Plan (of any kind), your Sprint PCS Multimedia Phone still has the capability of playing audio or video clips, but you WILL be charged a fee for playing them (this includes any of the clips in the Previews channel). The charge for playing the clip is based the clip's size and scope, and will vary depending on the clip.
You will be charged a monthly subscription fee for any of the Available Channels you acquire access to (with the exception of the Previews channel, which is included as a courtesy from Sprint). If you purchase access to an
Available Channel, clips within the channel will continue to be available to you as long as you continue to pay your monthly channel subscription fee.
3.
Will I know if I'm receiving an incoming call while I'm viewing or listening to an audio clip?
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the voicemail icon will appear on the screen.
4.
How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing of the available clips, with the clip's length appearing after the clip's title. In general, a clip's duration will depend on the story or content being provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.
5.
Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I have my phone?
As long as you are on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you will have access to the audio and video clips.
Note: Multimedia Service does not work while roaming off of the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network or where service is unavailable.
Section 2K: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player 112
6.
Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?
Not yet. This service currently provides media on demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day, but that are not “live.” A menu of live media streams should become available in 2005.
7.
After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a monthly fee, do
I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I know it has been purchased?
The next time you access your media player's Channel Listings, the purchased channel title and corresponding number will appear in the My Channels section.
8.
Why are some channels already pre-loaded into the My Channels section?
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of charge as a customer courtesy. These channels automatically appear in the
My Channels section of your Channel Listings.
9.
If I don't subscribe to Sprint PCS Vision Plan, am I still able to view the multimedia clips?
Yes; for service access charges, please see option “C” in question 2 above.
10.
How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll through all the channels in my Channel Listings?
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You can simply press this number to quickly access the clips located within that channel.
Tip: When entering the specific channel number, channels 01 - 09 do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access channel “07,” just press the “7” key.
11.
What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the word
“loading” at the bottom of the screen?
This happens when the media player is in the process of loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network.
Section 2K: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player 113
12.
How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?
To cancel your Multimedia Service, visit www.sprintpcs.com
and sign on to My PCS with your account number and password.
From this page you have the ability to cancel the service and/or any Available Channels to which you subscribe.
13.I
f I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into the phone's headset jack, can I close the flip while I am playing an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the clip?
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the phone's headset jack, the phone automatically goes into “headset mode,” allowing you to close the flip and continue playing the clip (likewise, if your phone is in “headset mode,” a phone call will not become disconnected by closing the flip).
14.
Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?
Yes; while you are playing a clip, you can use the up and down navigation buttons to surf to a different channel. A small pop-up screen will appear that tells you which channel you are watching as well as other channels you have access to. Use the navigation buttons to scroll through the different channels.
Once you find a channel that you want to watch, scroll to it and press (or simply wait approximately three seconds) and the channel will begin loading.

This section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 159
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
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Vision 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).
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.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 160
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.
When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store, or call the
Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline SM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing # 2 2 2 on your
Sprint PCS Vision 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 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
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 161
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.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 162
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your 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 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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:
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 (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.

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 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 164
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 MM-535 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.903 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.270 W/kg
CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.508W/kg; Body-worn: 0.509 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.947 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.648 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number: BEJLX535. More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid .

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
(The following information comes from a consumer information Website jointly sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer
Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced herein is dated

What is radiofrequency energy (RF)?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, xrays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic radiation) consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas.
As they are created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major differences between the different types of waves are the distances covered by one cycle of the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set time period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The frequency is the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any electromagnetic wave, the wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in units called hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One kilohertz (kHz) equals one thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million waves per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per second.
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per second (3 kHz) to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a subset of radio waves that have frequencies ranging from around 300 million waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves per second (3 GHz).
How is radiofrequency energy used?
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio and TV broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire department radios, point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on
RF energy.
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and sealers, and medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave frequencies, can heat water. Since most food has a high water content, microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to track cars and airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use
RF energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items such
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 166
as shoes and pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy include pacemaker monitoring and programming.
How is radiofrequency radiation measured?
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is often convenient to express the strength of the RF field in terms of each component. For example, the unit "volts per meter" (V/m) is used to measure the electric field strength, and the unit "amperes per meter" (A/m) is used to express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to characterize an RF field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power per unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts
(one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2).
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy. It is usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).
What biological effects can be caused by RF energy?
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the effects from other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays can ionize biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage biological tissues including DNA, the genetic material.
Ionization only occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy such as
X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing ionizing radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants).
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio waves and microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible light, infrared radiation (heat) and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low frequencies.
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and increase body temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too low to produce significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some people have questions about the possible health effects of low levels of RF energy. It is generally agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 167
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety have worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor developments and identify research needs related to RF biological effects.
What levels of RF energy are considered safe?
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to radiofrequency energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the FCC has used safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure since 1985.
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few exceptions. For example, ICNIRP recommends different exposure levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for localized exposure from certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the World
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 168
Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to determine radiation exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert agencies and organizations, and has done so . (Our joint efforts with the FDA in developing this website is illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and consultation we engage in regarding this health and safety issue.)
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has certain responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of transmitters and facilities must be evaluated for significant impact on the environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted by FCC-regulated transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF exposure as a result of a multi-year proceeding and as required by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental radio stations and certain wireless communication facilities are required to undergo routine evaluation for RF compliance when they submit an application to the FCC for construction or modification of a transmitting facility or renewal of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines could lead to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment, possible
Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an application.
Technical guidelines for evaluating compliance with the FCC RF safety requirements can be found in the FCC's OET Bulletin 65.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are normally excluded from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure.
These exclusions are based on standard calculations and measurement data indicating that a transmitting station or equipment operating under the conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the guidelines under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from compliance, but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC's policies on RF exposure and categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the FCC's Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].
How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for my wireless phone?
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a wireless telephone-user is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as explained above. The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 169
model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web address: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid . On this page, you will see instructions for entering the
FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee
Code is the first three characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the
FCC ID number). Then click on "Start Search." The "Grant of Equipment
Authorization" for your telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the section on "SAR Compliance," "Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for
RF Exposure" or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the maximum SAR levels noted directly on the "Grant of Equipment Authorization."
For phones and products authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000, detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking on "View Exhibit." Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers may find SAR information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone manufacturers make SAR information available on their own Web sites. In addition, some non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these sites and makes no guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide
SAR information to consumers in the instructional materials that come with the phones.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Handsfree kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce risks. Some products that claim to shield the
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 170
user from RF absorption use special phone cases, while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike "hand-free" kits, these so-called "shields" may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in
RF absorption. In February 2002, the Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
What are wireless telephone base stations?
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular base stations, cell stations, PCS ("Personal Communications Service") stations or telephone transmission towers. These base stations consist of antennas and electronic equipment. Because the antennas need to be high in the air, they are often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops. Typical heights for freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that are referred to as "omni-directional" antennas. These types of antennas are usually found in rural areas. In urban and suburban areas, wireless providers now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for their base stations. These antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension. The antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One antenna in each group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the other two antennas in each group are used to receive signals from wireless phones.
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the number of radio channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each transmitter. Typically, 21 channels per antenna sector are available. For a typical cell site using sector antennas, each of the three transmitting antennas could be connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters. However, it is unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time.
When omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could theoretically use up to 96 transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and, once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters would be in operation simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS communications generally require fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS carriers usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.
Are wireless telephone base stations safe?
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations travel toward the horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation pattern for an antenna array mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 171
the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins.
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with limits for exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by government agencies responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near cellular and PCS base station antennas mounted on towers have confirmed that ground-level exposures are typically thousands of times less than the exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very unlikely to occur.
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or on others near by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the ground. However, exposure levels approaching or exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or directly in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances that might give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government Official's Guide to
Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety:Rules, Procedures, and Practical
Guidance . This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety .
Who regulates exposure to radiation from microwave ovens, television sets and computer monitors?
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from harmful radiation emissions from these consumer products.
Does the FCC routinely monitor radiofrequency radiation from antennas?
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the emissions for all the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the public or to workers. If there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure guidelines for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC's Office of Engineering and
Technology or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation, and, if appropriate, perform actual measurements. Circumstances that could give rise to a concern about an facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be found in in A Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF
Emission Safety:Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance . This Guide can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety . Potential exposure problems should
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 172
be brought to the FCC's attention by contacting the FCC RF Safety Program at:
202-418-2464 or by email: [email protected]
.
Does the FCC maintain a database that includes information on the location and technical parameters of all the transmitting towers it regulates?
Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the service(s) it regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.)
The FCC issues two types of licenses: site specific and market based. In the case of site specific licensed facilities, technical operating information is collected from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in the case of market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority to operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using as many facilities as are required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with specific location and operating parameters of these facilities.
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the "General Menu
Reports" (GenMen) at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/index.hts
.
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of their licensing databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file structure. These extracts consist of multiple, very large files. The FCC's Office of
Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an index to these databases at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html
. Entry points into the various databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and licensee name. For further information on the Commission's existing databases, you can contact Donald Campbell at [email protected]
or 202-418-2405.
Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for
RF exposure?
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of
1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act states that, "No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions." Further information on federal authority and FCC policy is available in a fact sheet from the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau at www.fcc.gov/wtb .
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 173
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Commission
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon.
While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 174
phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term "wireless phone" refers here to hand-held wireless phones with builtin antennas, often called "cell," "mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called
"cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000.
Between them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 175
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the
RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 176
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.
But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that that no interference occurs when a person uses a "compatible" phone and a
"compatible" hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to potential RF health effects?
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring, researching or regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation.
Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 177
These agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops performance standards for the emission of radiation from electronic products including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television sets, microwave ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal health agency in monitoring the latest research developments and advising other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products used by the public, such as cellular and PCS phones.
The FDA's microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an exposure standard) that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured at five centimeters from the oven surface). The standard also requires ovens to have two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used according to the manufacturer's recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More information is available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh .
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public exposure to RF radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health are presently limited to advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an
Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working Group, which coordinates RF healthrelated activities among the various federal agencies with health or regulatory responsibilities in this area.

The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible for authorizing Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum.
Like the FCC, the NTIA also has NEPA responsibilities and has considered adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from U.S. Government transmitters such as radar and military facilities.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological effects of RF energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted primarily at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force
Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF biological effects information is listed with other sites in conjunction with a question on other sources of information, below.

less than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference between the RF test measurement and actual RF emission is because test measurements are limited by instrument accuracy, because test measurement and actual use environments are different, and other variable factors. This inherent variability is known as "measurement uncertainty." When FCC conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any measurement uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is appropriate. This approach ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell phone RF, and agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current understanding of the risks presented by cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present a risk of injury to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an
SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement uncertainty permitted by current measurement standards was added to the maximum permissible SAR, the resulting SAR value would be well below any level known to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC's approach with measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute effects of cell phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure to cellular telephone RF (that is, the risks from using a cell phone for many years). If new information leads FDA to believe that a change to FCC's measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.

General.
This agreement ("Agreement") covers the terms on which we agree to provide and you agree to accept any service or product we make available to you, including your wireless services, wireless devices, etc. (collectively "Services").
You accept this Agreement when you do any of the following: (a) provide your written or electronic signature; (b) accept through an oral or electronic statement;
(c) attempt to or in any way use any of the Services; (d) pay for any Services; or (e) open any materials or package that says you are accepting when you open it. The
Agreement includes the terms in this document together with the terms associated with the Services you select (as described in our marketing materials, e.g., service plan brochures, or on our website). You represent that you are at least 18 years old.
In this document, we use the words "we," "us," "our" or "Sprint" to refer to Sprint
Spectrum L.P. and its affiliates doing business as Sprint PCS.
Agreement.
We may change the Agreement at any time with notice. Any changes to the Agreement are effective when we publish them. If you use our Services or make any payment to us on or after the effective date of the changes, you accept the changes. If we change a material term of the Agreement and that change has a material adverse effect on you, you may terminate the Agreement without an Early
Termination Fee by calling 1-888-567-5528 within 30 days after the changes go into effect. You understand and agree that taxes, Universal Service fees and other charges imposed by the government or based on government calculations may increase or decrease on a monthly basis, and that this paragraph does not apply to any increases in such taxes, Universal Service fees or other charges.
Activating Service.
Before activation, we may check your credit and verify your identity. You must have and maintain satisfactory credit to receive and continue to receive Services. We may charge a nonrefundable activation fee, deposit, prepayment or other fee to establish or maintain Services.
Term Commitments.
Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, our service plans require that you maintain service for a minimum term ("Term Service Plan"),
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 183
usually 1 or 2 years. After satisfying this minimum term, your service plan will continue on a month-to-month basis unless you have agreed to extend the term for additional period(s). Certain service, promotional or product offers may require that you agree to or extend a Term Service Plan. As discussed below, we may charge you an Early Termination Fee if you deactivate a Term Service Plan before the end of the term.
Using Services.
You agree to not use our Services in an unlawful, fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease Services to anyone. Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice, statements, services applications or other information provided by third parties and accessible through our various Services, including the internet. Neither Sprint, its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information that is obtained through these
Services. You are responsible for evaluating such content.
You are also responsible for any use of our Services through any wireless device on your account including, but not limited to, use by children or minors. We strongly recommend that you closely monitor any such usage.
Changing Services.
Changes to Services will generally be effective at the start of your next full invoicing cycle. In certain instances, the changes may take place sooner, in which case your invoice will reflect pro-rated charges. Certain changes may be conditioned upon payment of an Early Termination Fee or certain other charges.
Termination of Services.
Consistent with this Agreement: (a) we may terminate
Services at any time with notice to you and, in certain instances, without notice; and (b) you may terminate Services at any time with prior notice to us. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, IF YOU TERMINATE YOUR TERM SERVICE
PLAN EARLY, OR WE DO SO FOR GOOD CAUSE, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY
THE APPLICABLE EARLY TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR
SERVICES. We will not charge an Early Termination Fee for deactivations consistent with our Return Policy or for service plans being provided on a month-to-month basis. If any Services are terminated before the end of your current invoicing cycle, we will not prorate charges to the date of termination, and you will not receive a credit or refund for any unused Services.
Wireless Devices, Numbers & E-mail Addresses.
We did not manufacture your wireless device and we are not responsible for any defects or for the acts or omissions of the manufacturer. The only warranties on your device are any limited warranties extended by the manufacturer directly to you or passed on to you through us. Your device may not accept Services directly from any other carrier.
You do not have any rights to any number, e-mail address or other identifier we may assign to your device or account; you may not modify, change or transfer any of these except as we allow or as allowed for by law. In certain instances, you may transfer your number from another carrier to us, or from us to another carrier. We
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 184
do not guarantee that transfers to or from us will be successful. If you transfer your number away from us, the terms of this Agreement (e.g., Early Termination Fee, etc.) still apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be responsible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your device. See our printed instore materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com
for additional important information on number transfers.
Coverage.
Available coverage areas for Services are generally identified in our mapping brochures and at www.sprintpcs.com
. This may include coverage on our digital network (the "Sprint Nationwide PCS Network") as well as coverage we make available to you through agreements with other carriers ("off network" or
"roaming" coverage).
All coverage maps are high level representations of outdoor coverage and there are gaps in coverage within areas shown as covered on the maps.
Coverage is not available everywhere, nor can we guarantee you will receive coverage at all times, or without interruptions or delays (e.g., dropped calls, blocked calls, etc.) in the coverage areas we identify. Actual coverage and quality of Services may be affected by conditions within or beyond our control, including network problems, software, signal strength, your equipment, structures (including buildings in which you may be located), atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions.
Roaming Coverage.
You are roaming anytime your phone indicates that you are roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with certain devices and, unless included as part of your Services, will result in additional charges. Roaming calls placed "manually" (through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur separate and additional charges. Depending on your phone settings, you may automatically roam if there is a gap or interruption in coverage within the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your phone guide for how to adjust phone settings. Certain features and services may not be available in roaming coverage areas (including PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).
Charges.
Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be assessed charges based on the terms of your Services including, without limitation, monthly recurring charges and charges based on actual usage (e.g., charges for long distance, roaming, call forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other time based usage charges are calculated from when your device first initiates contact with a network until the network connection is broken, whether or not you were actually successful in connecting to the intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice calls that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For voice calls received by your device, you are charged from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated. You are charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next minute.
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 185
Sprint PCS Vision Charges.
Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in minutes. Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding occurs at the top of each clock hour while in a session and at the end of each session and is then charged to you based on the terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may be charged against an allowance or on a fixed price per kilobyte. Usage charges may be rounded up to the next cent at monthly or other intervals. In certain instances, you may not know that your session has not ended. As long as your device is connected to our network, you will incur data usage charges. You will be charged for all data directed to the internet address (or "IP address") assigned to your device, regardless of who initiates the activity or whether your device actually receives the data. This includes, but is not limited to, the amount of data associated with the particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.), additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing this information/item on our network, data from partial or interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. Based on these and a number of other factors (e.g., the specific application, network performance, etc.) data used and charged to you will vary widely, even for the same activity. Estimates of data usage - for example, the size of downloadable files - will not be accurate or a reliable predictor of actual usage. Your invoice will not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable to your use of specific sites, sessions or services.
Taxes and Surcharges.
We invoice you for taxes, fees and other charges levied by or remitted directly to federal, state, local or foreign governments including, without limitation, sales, gross receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If you claim any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.
Tax exemptions are not applied retroactively. We also invoice you for surcharges that we collect and keep to pay for the costs of complying with government programs such as number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service; these charges are not the taxes nor government imposed assessments.
Invoicing & Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time.
Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are generally invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Other charges are invoiced soon after they are incurred. Most usage is generally applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are incurred, but in some instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles.
You are responsible for all charges associated with any device activated on your account, regardless of who used the device. You must pay all charges by the due date on the invoice.
Past due amounts accrue late charges until paid at the rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law and may result in immediate suspension of your account.
If you agree to any auto-payment option through banking or credit account, we may initiate payment from the account for all amounts we invoice you without additional authorization or notice. Based on your credit or payment history, we may require certain forms of guaranteed payment as a
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 186
condition of maintaining Services. If we invoice you for amounts on behalf of a third-party, payments received are first applied to amounts due to us. You may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment and for payments denied by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked "paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges.
Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must be raised within
60 days of the date of the invoice. You accept all charges not disputed in this time period. Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice.
Account Spending Limit & Deposits.
We may impose an account spending limit
("ASL") on any account without notice. We will notify you of an ASL based on your credit or payment history and may reduce the ASL at any time with prior notice. An
ASL should not be relied on to manage usage on your account. We may suspend an account without prior notice when the account balance reaches the ASL, even if the account is not past due. Services can be restored upon payment of an amount that brings the account balance below the ASL and any past due amounts. If we require a deposit for you to establish or maintain an account, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the deposit amount at any time with notice for good reason. Except as we allow, a deposit may not be used to pay any invoice or delay payment. The deposit amount, the length of time we hold the deposit and changes to the deposit amount are determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate of interest, if any, on the deposit is subject to change. We may mix deposits with our other funds. If your account is terminated for any reason, we may without notice apply your deposit to any outstanding charges. We may send any remaining deposit amounts to your last known address within 75 days after account termination. If the funds are returned to us, you may claim these funds for one year from the date of return. Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit and are subject to a servicing fee charged against the balance. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one-year period.
Other Sprint PCS Vision Terms.
You will not receive voice calls while using Vision.
Vision is not available for use with server devices or host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitutes for private lines or frame relay connections. Unlimited Vision plans/options may not be used with Sprint PCS phones or smart phones being used as a modem in connection with other equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) through use of connection kits or other phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth TM or other wireless technology. We may terminate services without notice for any misuse. You may have access to certain games, ringers, screen savers and other items on our Vision site ("Premium Services") that are available for an additional charge. You will be billed for Premium Service purchases on your Sprint PCS invoice based on the charges as specified at purchase. Subject to the terms of the
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 187
content purchased, we may delete premium and non-premium items downloaded to any storage areas we may provide, including any pictures, games and other content. We may limit the amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a specific timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period).
Voice Command.
Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command feature. See our printed in-store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com
for additional important information on this option.
Wireless Web.
Wireless Web Services may be available depending on your device and Service plan/option. This is not a Vision service. Usage is calculated on minutes used and generally deducts from your Service plan minutes. See our printed instore materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com
for additional important information on this option.
Lost or Stolen Equipment.
If your device is lost or stolen, please notify us immediately by calling 1-888-211-4PCS.
You are responsible for all charges incurred before you notify us of the loss or theft.
You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in investigating suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.
Messaging.
You may incur charges in accessing, sending or receiving messages on your device. We may impose limits on the number of voicemail, text, email or other messages that can be retained through your account. Indicators of messages on your device, including mailbox icons, may not always provide an up to date indication of new messages and you may at times need to manually reset or clear your mailbox indicator. Legitimate messages may be interrupted by software aimed at prevention of SPAM or similar messages.
Caller ID.
If you do not want people you call to receive the number assigned to your phone, call us at 1-888-211-4PCS for information about automatic Caller ID blocking. The number assigned to your phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 + Destination Number + TALK (or similar key). Caller ID blocking is not available when using Vision or Wireless Web services.
TTY Access.
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. TTY doesn't work with all devices. If you have a TTY-capable device, it may not function effectively, or at all, when attempting 911 calls and should not be relied on for such calls.
Disclaimer of Warranties.
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OF WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES OR WIRELESS DEVICE. WE DO NOT
PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND YOU AGREE TO

In the event we are found to be responsible to you for monetary damages relating to the Services (including wireless devices), you agree that any such damages will not exceed the pro-rated monthly recurring charge for your Services during the affected period.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE
LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES
OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR
COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION SURVIVES
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.
INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU
AND SPRINT AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES OR
DISPUTES AGAINST EACH OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SERVICES, ANY
PHONES/EQUIPMENT, OR ADVERTISING, EVEN IF IT ARISES AFTER YOUR
SERVICES HAVE TERMINATED, AND INCLUDING CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING
AGAINST SPRINT'S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVES, OR THAT SPRINT MAY BRING AGAINST YOU ("CLAIMS").
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS
PROVISIONS, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS OF WHETHER A CLAIM
IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. THIS PROVISION DOES NOT PREVENT EITHER
YOU OR SPRINT FROM BRINGING APPROPRIATE CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS
COURT, BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OR A STATE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
YOU AND SPRINT FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL JOIN
ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN A
LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING; THAT NO CLAIM EITHER
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 189
SPRINT OR YOU HAS AGAINST THE OTHER SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-
WIDE BASIS; AND THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL ASSERT A CLAIM IN A
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE. IF FOR ANY
REASON THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO A CLAIM, WE
AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The arbitration will be filed with and the arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of either JAMS or the National Arbitration Forum ("NAF"), or, alternatively, as we may mutually agree. We agree to act in good faith in selecting an arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by and under the then-applicable rules of JAMS or
NAF, wherever the arbitration is filed or, if the arbitrator is chosen by mutual agreement of the parties, the then-applicable rules of JAMS will apply unless the parties agree otherwise. All expedited procedures prescribed by the applicable rules will apply. We agree to pay our respective arbitration costs, except as otherwise required by rules of JAMS or NAF, as applicable, but the arbitrator can apportion these costs as appropriate. The arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other party's costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including attorneys' fees.
If any portion of this Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes section is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Section remains in full force and effect.
Miscellaneous.

.
PRIVACY POLICY
(a) Sprint respects the privacy of its customers, and other individuals and businesses using the Websites owned and operated by Sprint and its Affiliates
("Sprint Websites"). This updated Privacy Policy effective October 22, 2001, is to keep you informed about the types of information collected on Sprint Websites and how the information is used and protected. The revised Privacy Policy includes information about advertisements on Sprint Websites and access to your account information.
Sprint protects the privacy of its local, long distance and wireless customers consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act and rules and regulations issued by the Federal Communications Commission.
Sprint's Privacy Policy for its high speed Internet services can be accessed at: www.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices .
There are two types of information that may be exchanged between the Sprint site and the user during each visit to a Sprint site. They are:
1. General technical data transmitted between your computer and the Sprint site that does not identify you personally.
2. Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily share. The types of personally identifiable information that you might share include your name, address, phone number, email address and credit card number.
(b) Anonymous Information
In order to provide you with the information and services that you look for from the
Sprint Websites, Sprint gathers certain types of information from you that are not personally identifiable. This is called anonymous information and includes:
1. The type of Internet browser you use when you visit
2. The types of computer operating system you use
3. The search engine you use to access the Sprint Websites (such as "AOL.com,"
"Yahoo.com" or "Go.com")
4. The specific Sprint Website that you visit ( sprint.com
, sprintpcs.com
, etc.).
The anonymous information collected is not associated with you personally or your business. Sprint uses this anonymous information in the aggregate to improve
Sprint Websites and the services we provide through those sites.
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 193
(c) Use Of Cookies
Sprint Websites may use "cookies" to collect the anonymous information described in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of encrypted data that are loaded by a Sprint server onto your computer or other device when you visit a Sprint Website. The server can retrieve the cookies the next time you visit a site and use them to identify the computer as a return visitor. Sprint uses cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information and generically track usage patterns on the Sprint Websites in order to monitor activity and administer the sites. Sprint also uses information obtained from cookies to improve Sprint Websites, and make decisions concerning advertising, product offerings and services. Most users can disable cookies from their Internet browsers, receive a warning before a cookie is placed on their computer, and erase all cookies from their computer hard drives by following the instructions provided by the browser.
(d) Advertisements On Sprint Websites
Advertising companies deliver ads on some Sprint Websites. You should be aware that when you click on these ads, the advertising companies may also deploy cookies to receive anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on
Sprint Websites and other Websites. This information is associated with your Web browser, but cannot be associated with your name or email address without your permission. Therefore, advertising companies may know where your computer goes on the Web, but they do not know who you are unless you tell them. Sprint does not provide personally identifiable information about its customers or Sprint
Website visitors to these advertising companies.
(e) Personally Identifiable Information
Sprint may ask you to provide what is often referred to as "personally identifiable information" such as your name, address, telephone number and email address when you use Sprint Websites to: purchase a service or product online, enter a contest or sweepstakes, ask to receive information, respond to a survey, register with a Sprint Website, access your account, ask for a personalized service, request customer service online, or apply for a job. You always have the alternative of mailing or calling Sprint with the information requested if you do not wish to provide it online. Personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website to order Sprint services other than Internet services will be protected in the same manner as when the information is provided by other means such as over the telephone or by mail. We protect customer information obtained from the local, long distance and wireless service customers of Sprint consistent with federal laws governing telecommunications services and with regulations issued by the Federal
Communications Commission. Sprint's Privacy Policy for its Internet services can be accessed at: www.sprint.com/privacypolicy/broadbandservices .
We use personally identifiable information provided at a Sprint Website in the following ways unless otherwise specified:
1. For its intended purpose (such as to complete an online order for service).
2. To provide you with information about new PCS Products and Services or products and services offered in conjunction with Sprint business partners.
Section 4B: Terms & Conditions / Warranty 194
(f) Disclosure To Third Parties
Sprint will not sell or disclose to outside parties any personally identifiable information obtained from a Sprint online service or the registration at a Sprint
Website without your consent except under the following circumstances:
1. When required by law,
2. When disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a customer, third party or
Sprint's property,
3. If it is required in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a portion of
Sprint's assets.
When Sprint uses agents, contractors or other companies to perform services on its behalf, Sprint will require that they protect your personally identifiable information consistent with this Privacy Policy. Sprint may share the anonymous information described in this Privacy Policy with third parties from time-to-time.
(g) Email Communications
Email is an increasingly popular communication tool through which you and your business may communicate with Sprint. Likewise, Sprint may use email to communicate with you, respond to your email, and to tell you about new products and services. If you do not wish to receive email promotions and new products and service announcements from Sprint, please follow the instructions that appear at the end of the email communication that you receive from Sprint to have your name removed from the list.
(h) Security
Sprint utilizes several encryption methods to ensure that the data you submit on any of the Sprint Websites is secure. Through this "secure session," information that you input into a Sprint online order form will be sent and will arrive privately and unaltered at a Sprint server. This security prohibits access to your information by other companies and Web users.
(i) Children
Sprint does not intend to collect personally identifiable information from individuals under 18 years of age. If Sprint becomes aware that a user who is under
18 is using a Sprint Website, Sprint will specifically instruct that individual that they are not to submit information on Sprint Websites without a parent or guardian's consent. If a child has provided Sprint with personally identifiable information without the knowledge of Sprint, a parent or guardian of the child may contact
Sprint at [email protected]
and Sprint will delete the child's information from our existing files.
(j) Links
Some Sprint Websites contain links to other Websites that are owned and operated by parties other than Sprint. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not extend to any Websites other than those owned and controlled by Sprint.
