Section 4 Safety and Warranty Information
Section 4A Important Safety Information In This Section ⽧ General Precautions (page 219) ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone (page 219) ⽧ Using Your Phone with a Hearing Aid Device (page 222) ⽧ Caring for the Battery (page 223) ⽧ Radiofrequency (RF) Energy (page 225) ⽧ Owner’s Record (page 228) ⽧ Phone Guide Proprietary Notice (page 228) This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone.
General Precautions 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. v Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna. v Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged. v Speak directly into the mouthpiece. v Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
Using Your Phone While Driving Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing on your phone.
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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Sprint Nextel phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
Sprint Nextel further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone.

They’re also available at www.sprint.com — click the Wireless option under “Personal,”and then click Accessories. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy 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 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode. Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
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.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
