Display icons: What they tell you Display icons are all the graphic symbols that show up on your display screen. In short, they tell you what’s happening with your TM Sprint PCS Phone . See below for a description. A Signal Measures your current signal strength. The more lines there are, the stronger the signal. No Service This means the phone is outside a service area. When this is displayed, you cannot use your phone. In Use Tells you a call is in progress.
Using the battery Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. Remember to fully charge your battery as soon as the charge becomes low in order to maximize your talk and standby times. Installing and removing the battery The battery snaps easily onto the back of the phone (bottom end first) for quick installation and removal. Make sure to turn the power off before removing the battery. Otherwise, you could lose stored numbers and messages.
Note: Use only SANYO-approved accessories. Using unauthorized accessories may cause damage. Charging with the AC Adapter Use only approved adapter, with your Sprint PCS Phone. 1.

Charging a completely discharged standard Lithium Ion battery takes up to three hours. If your phone is turned on, the while charging.
Using Your Phone: Basic operations to place and receive calls Turning your phone on and off When you’re ready to turn your Sprint PCS Phone on, check to see that the charged battery has been installed on the back of the phone or that you have an external power (ie; the cigarette lighter adapter, hands-free car kit or AC adapter) with the battery installed. Then, simply press POWER . The red light turns on for approximately 5 seconds and the banner is displayed.

Note: In areas where Sprint PCS does not have a roaming agreement in place, you will still be able to make (but not receive) calls using a credit card. This is called manual roaming. What you will see You should always check your phone’s display because it will let you know when you are outside the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and whether your phone is operating in analog cellular or digital roaming mode.

If you are on the phone when you leave a Sprint PCS Service Area and enter an area where roaming is available (whether CDMA or analog cellular), your call will be dropped.

Understanding how your phone operates Your Sprint PCS Phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone operates in the frequency range of 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz. When your phone is in use, the system handling your call controls the power level.
Maintaining your phone’s peak performance To operate your phone properly – that is, to maintain safe and satisfactory service – you should follow these rules: For best reception, fully extend the antenna. Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder. Do not hold the phone antenna at any time. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. Speak directly into the mouthpiece. Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
Protecting your battery For best battery performance, you should follow these guidelines: Use only SANYO-approved batteries and AC adapter, cigarette lighter adapter, and desktop charger. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate your warranty and may cause damage as well. To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C).
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it will need to be replaced. Do not store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. Follow these storage rules: Less than one month: -4˚F to 131˚F (-20˚C to 55˚C) More than one month: -4˚F to 95˚F (-20˚C to 35˚C) Driving Using a wireless phone while driving is illegal in some states and countries.

It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
FCC notice The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the telephone if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care.
