Use the Phonebook Search feature to ensure the

FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing  
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by  
the National Council of Radiation Protection and  
Measurements (NCRP).  
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 watts to  
0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your  
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory  
service.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with  
updated NCRP standards described below.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain  
or liquid spills.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics  
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards  
Institute (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  
If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the  
power off and remove the battery.  
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint  
authorized personnel should service your phone  
and accessories. Faulty service may void the  
warranty.  
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this  
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from

MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND  
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
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. Also check with the  
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been  
added to your vehicle.  
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.  
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 #222  
on your Sprint PCS Phone.  
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.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always  
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn  
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or  
when it may cause interference or danger.  
Always turn off the phone in health care  
facilities and request permission before using  
the phone near medical equipment.

Safety  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To  
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,  
the U.S. 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.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles  
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be  
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that  
contains your phone or accessories.  
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 remotecontrol RF  
devices to set off explosives.  
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  
Sprint PCS Invoice.  
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.  
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in  
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but  
not always, clearly marked. They include:

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 battery  
chargers. These chargers are designed to  
maximize battery life. Using other batteries or  
chargers voids your warranty and may cause  
damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only  
in te1harosy Tc0 -1.2 TD2c8r womteri322 -Fdte

warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect  
to the phone.  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
the FCC Notice  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex  
piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid  
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.  
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.  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure  
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use  
the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster  
or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint  
approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure  
guidelines.  
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.:  
Publication Sales Division.

Cautions  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not  
expressly approved in this document could void your  
warranty for this equipment and void your authority to  
operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,  
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized  
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone  
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.  
27  
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. What is  
important to remember is that each phone meets  
strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not  
represent a variation in safety.  
The highest SAR values for this model phone as  
reported to the FCC are Head:0.600 W/Kg(CDMA),  
1.280 (PCS), Body- worn:0.162 W/Kg(CDMA), 0.789  
W/Kg (PCS). Body-worn operations are restricted to  
Samsung-supplied, approved or none Samsung  
designated accessories that have no metal and must  
provide at least 1.8cm separation between the device,  
including its antenna whether extended or retracted,  
and the user’s body. None compliance to the above  
restrictions may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission  
Guidelines.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which  
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated  
above, variations in SAR values between different  
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR  
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg  
are considered safe for use by the public.  
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA920. More information on  
the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC
