The two-digit number lets you know which menu
item you are accessing. For example, F51 indicates
the Key Guard function. (See page 57 for a complete
list of menu items and numbers.) When you are

you will see the two Phone List options: “Calls List” and “Phone
Book.” Turn the dial again and you will see either the first entry in
your Calls List or the first entry in your phone book. (See page 27 for
more information on the phone book and Calls List.) When only one
curved arrow is displayed, the phone is prompting to you to turn the
dial in that one direction.

Battery: Putting in
the pow er.
Your new Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery.
Be sure to keep your battery charged in order to get the most talk
time and standby time. When the phone is in standby mode, your
battery’s charge should last approximately 20 hours. When your
phone is used continuously, the charge will last about two hours.

Installing and rem oving your battery pack.
To install the battery pack, simply place it into the top of the
opening at a 45 angle and gently slide the battery pack down
until the latch clicks.
To remove the battery pack, turn the phone upside down and
press the battery release latch up while lifting the battery pack
out of the phone.
Charging your battery.
You can tell whether or not your battery needs to be recharged just
by checking the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen.
The more black you see in the battery icon, the more power you
have left. When the battery is nearly empty, the battery icon will blink,
12
13
the phone will sound a tone, then very soon the phone will turn off.
Unfortunately, you’ll lose whatever you were just doing if this happens.
So, watch the battery icon to make sure the level is sufficient.
Charging w ith the phone turned on.
The battery icon (
) will flash to let you know that the
battery is charging. When the icon stops flashing, the battery is fully
charged.
To charge your batteries, use only an approved AC adapter, desktop
charger, cigarette lighter adapter, travel adapter or hands-free car kit.
(For more information on these accessories, see the product user
guide for each.)
Charging w hen the phone is off.
When your phone is turned off, the display screen will display the
message “Battery is Charging, Power is Off” and the battery icon

screen will tell you “Charging is Complete, Power is Off” and the
will stop flashing. The battery will charge more quickly
when the phone is off.
Be careful to use only the AC adapter you received with your Sprint
PCS Phone or another approved charger. Using the wrong one could
damage your phone and invalidate your warranty.
Thanks to your phone’s special design, you can recharge the battery
using only the AC adapter. Simply attach one end of the AC adapter to
the connector at the bottom of your phone and plug the other end
into a standard wall outlet. If your battery’s charge is completely run
down, it’ll take approximately three hours to fully recharge. It isn’t
necessary to let the battery completely run down before recharging it.

Understanding how your phone operates.
Usage guidelines: All about
perform ance and safety.
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 1851 MHz to
1989 MHz. The power level can range from approximately 0.01mW
to approximately 300mW. When your phone is in use, the system
handling your call controls the power level.
Keeping tabs on signal strength.
The voice quality of your Sprint PCS Phone will always be at its best
when the antenna is fully raised. If you’re inside a building, reception
may be better near a window.
Radio frequency safety.
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your phone will inform you of the current
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength
icon. The more bars, the stronger the signal. (See page 10 for an
illustration of the signal strength indicator.)
In 1991-1992, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institutes (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 a hybrid standard consisting of
the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Understanding the Pow er Save m ode.
If you’re trying to use your phone in an area where there is no
signal, the Power Save feature will automatically activate to conserve
battery power when you’ve been unable to pick up a signal for 15
minutes. If your phone is on, it will periodically recheck service
availability, or you can do so yourself manually by pressing any key.
A message will be displayed on the screen any time Power Save has
been activated.
60
61
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with these updated
standards. Of course, if you want to limit RF exposure even further
than the updated standard, you can choose to control the duration of
your calls and operate your phone in the most power-efficient manner.
Protecting your battery.
Follow these guidelines for the best battery performance:
þ Only use approved battery packs and desktop and travel chargers.
These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other
batteries or chargers will void your warranty and may cause
damage as well.
Maintaining your phone’s peak perform ance.
To operate your phone properly — that is, to maintain safe and
satisfactory service — you should follow these rules:
þ To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures ranging
from 40°F to 104°F.
þ For best reception, extend the antenna fully.
þ Hold the phone with the antenna up and over your shoulder.
þ Do not hold the phone antenna at any time.
þ Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
þ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
þ Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
þ Never dispose of the battery pack by burning.
þ Keep the metal contacts at the top of the battery pack clean.
þ Do not allow the battery contacts to touch metal materials.
þ Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your phone or
accessories to rain or moisture. If your phone does get wet,
turn the power off immediately and remove the battery pack. If it is
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call Sprint PCS
Customer Care for service.
þ You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been used for
a long time.
þ Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before
it will need to be replaced.

Disposal of batteries.
Follow ing safety guidelines.
You can return your unwanted batteries to your nearest Sony Service
Center or Factory Service Center. For the Sony Service Center nearest
you call 1-800-222-SONY (United States only).
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always follow
any special regulations in a given area and turn your phone off in
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Note: In some areas, the disposal of rechargeable batteries in
household or business trash may be prohibited.
Using your phone near other electronic devices.
Most modern electrical equipment is shielded from radio frequency
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from PCS phones may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Using your phone w hile driving.
Talking on the phone while you’re driving may divert your attention
from the road and is illegal in some states. Remember, safety comes
first.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
You should also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
When using your Sprint PCS Phone in the car:
þ Focus on driving, not talking.
þ Use a Hands-Free Car Kit (optional accessory).
If you must use the phone while driving, please use Speed Dial or
Touch Dial.
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.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.

resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Turn off your phone before flying.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
You should turn off your Sprint PCS Phone before boarding any
aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, US
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.
Do not 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 Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy and should not be played with by
children. They could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone
or make calls that increase your telephone bills.
Cautions.
Any changes or modifications to your Sprint PCS Phone not expressly
approved in this document could void your warranty for this equip-
ment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use
approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any other type
will invalidate the warranty.
Turn off your phone in dangerous areas.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
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 phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.
If you need assistance, contact Sprint PCS Customer Care by
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire
pressing
(in southern California, press
).
