Section 2D Controlling Your Roaming Experience In This Section ⽧ Understanding Roaming ⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode ⽧ Using Call Guard Roaming Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.Your new dual band/ tri-mode PM-225 by LG works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
Understanding Roaming Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam – . Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
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.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint 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.
SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Select Settings ( 9 ). 3. Scroll to Roaming and press OK . 4. Scroll to Set Mode and press OK . 5.
Using Call Guard Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.) To turn Call Guard on or off: 1. Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu. 2. Select Settings ( ).

Section 4A Safety In This Section ⽧ Getting the Most Out of Your Reception ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ Phone Guide Proprietary Notice Safety Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is learning how the phone works and how to care for it.This section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.
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.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 For optional call performance, please do not obstruct the internal antenna. 䢇 Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged. 䢇 Speak directly into the mouthpiece. 䢇 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.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio Frequency (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.
䢇 Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. 䢇 Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

store. With the Sprint 14-day Risk-Free Guarantee you may return the phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled with an M3 or M4) while in the retail store to find the one that works best with your hearing device Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device.
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. 䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery. Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice FCC Notice This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
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.
