Section 2D Controlling Your Roaming Experience In This Section Understanding Roaming 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 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.
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 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 PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link, and PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to 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.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time. To check your voicemail while roaming: Dial 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode Your PCS Vision 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/tri-mode phone to control your roaming experience. To set your phone’s roam mode: 1. Press to access the main menu. 2. Select Settings and press . 3. Select Roaming and press . 4. Select Set Mode and press . 5.
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.) To turn Call Guard on or off: 1. Press to access the main menu. 2.

Section 4 Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
Section 4A Safety In This Section Getting the Most Out of Your Reception Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone Caring for the Battery Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice Consumer Information on Wireless Phones Owner’s Record User’s Guide Proprietary Notice Part of getting the most out of your PCS Vision Phone is learning how the phone works and how to care for it.
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.
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.
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.
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 PCS Invoice. 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 chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life.
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.
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.
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 July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website: http://www.fda.gov/cellphones/qa.html.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

Credit verification may include a review of credit reports that we receive from credit bureaus.
Termination. General. Regardless of whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service Plan, we may terminate or suspend Services to you without liability if: (1) you breach any provision of this Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges for Services); or (2) you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment or otherwise.
voice calls that are not completed. You are charged for completed calls to your Number from the time shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated.

You will be charged off-peak rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods applicable to your Service.
PCS Vision Premium Services. Your PCS Vision wireless services may allow you to access or download premium content for an additional charge. Certain PCS Vision services (e.g., games, ringers and screen savers) primarily contain premium services content. Access to and downloading of premium content is not included with PCS Vision services. The additional charges for this premium content will be billed to you on your PCS Invoice.
Voice Command. PCS Voice Command is an optional service that allows you to place calls by using speech recognition technology. Calls to 911 or similar emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command feature. Airtime and applicable long distance charges for a call completed from your Number using the Voice Command feature begin when you press or activate the TALK or similar key(s) and end when your call is terminated by hitting the END key or by returning to the Voice Command platform.

Any money held during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one-year period.
between Sprint and the other providers. If we do not have a roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place roaming calls “manually” by using a valid credit card. If there is a gap or other interruption of coverage within a PCS coverage area that prevents connection with the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and your dual-band phone is set to roam automatically when outside PCS coverage, you may incur roaming fees within a PCS coverage area.
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 PCS Phones. If you have a PCS TTY-capable phone, it may not function effectively, or at all, when attempting 911 calls due to the equipment or software of the answering agency. Therefore, a TTY device should not be relied on for 911 calls. Pay-Per-Call Service.
