Antenna  
The antenna on your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™  
provides maximum reception without the inconvenience of  
extending or retracting it.  
WARNING -- CHOKING HAZARD -- ANTENNA MAY  
BECOME DISLODGED  
Attempting to remove or repeated twisting of the  
antenna will loosen the materials securing it into  
place and may reduce the child restraint nature of the  
antenna. Once the antenna is loosened or removed,  
only an authorized Sprint PCS Representative can restore  
the antenna’s original integrity. Do not attempt to remove  
or twist the antenna.  
Signal Strength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your area. The number of bars in the  
Signal Strength icon informs you of the current strength. The  
more bars, the stronger the signal.

Getting to Know Your Phone  
Battery Capacity  
Your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ is equipped with a  
Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery  
before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately  
3.25 hours of continuous digital talk time (60 minutes in  
analog) or approximately 130 hours of continuous digital  
standby time (15 hours in analog).  
Note: Long backlight settings affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon  
blinks. When there is about one minute of talk time left, the  
phone sounds an audible alert every 30 seconds and then powers  
down.  
If the battery’s charge is completely run down, it takes 2 to 3  
hours to fully recharge. It is not necessary to let the battery  
completely run down before recharging.  
To charge your batteries, use only Sprint PCS-approved charging  
accessories.  
Using the AC Adapter  
To charge the battery, plug the AC Adapter into a standard wall  
outlet and connect it to the phone via the I/O Connector on the  
bottom of the phone. Alternatively, you can place the phone in  
the charging cradle provided with your phone and connect the  
AC Adapter to the back of the cradle.  
The Battery Charge Status icon flashes during charging. When  
the battery is fully charged, the battery icon stops flashing.

User Guide  
Using Your Phone  
Placing a Call  
When the phone is turned on, check the Signal Strength icon to  
see if you are in a Sprint PCS Service Area or authorized  
PCS CDMA or analog cellular provider’s service area.  
1. Open the Flip.  
2. Enter the phone number, highlight Calland press  
.
Tip! When dialing long distance, it is not necessary to dial a  
“1” before the area code.  
3. When you are finished with your call, highlight End Call  
and press  
. If the phone is in Active Flip Mode (see  
page 75), closing the Flip will also end the call.  
Roaming With Your Sprint PCS Phone™  
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ is dual-band, which means you can use  
it to make and receive calls in many places.  
In any city where Sprint PCS provides service.  
On other PCS CDMA networks and conventional analog  
cellular networks where Sprint PCS has implemented  
roaming agreements.  
Note: When using your dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ in  
Analog Mode, the handset may feel warm due to the higher transmission  
power requirements. This behavior is normal for the analog operation.  
10  
Using Your Phone  
When you use your phone outside the Sprint PCS Network, it’s  
called roaming. If you’re roaming in areas where agreements are  
in place with PCS CDMA or conventional analog cellular providers,  
you will pay the roaming rate plus long-distance charges, where  
they apply. (See “Display Icons” on page 7 for network indication  
icons.) Always dial using 10 digits (area code + number) when  
calling from outside your Sprint PCS Home Service Area.  
(See “Roaming” on page 49.)  
Note: In areas where roaming agreements are not in place, you may still  
be able to make (but not receive) calls using a credit card. This is called  
manual roaming.  
Setting Your Phone’s Mode  
Your Sprint PCS Phone™ allows you to control your ability to  
roam. (See “Set Mode” on page 49.)  
Calling Experience  
When you use your phone on other PCS CDMA networks, your  
calling experience and call quality will be quite similar to what you  
experience when making calls within the Sprint PCS Network.  
Although certain calling features may not be available, your phone  
calls are still private and secure.  
When you use your phone on analog cellular networks, your  
experience will be different. Cellular roaming will be similar to the  
quality provided by conventional analog cellular carriers today.  
Although you will still have the convenience of being able to make  
and receive calls, here are some differences you can expect:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out  
and dropped calls.  
11  
User Guide  
Some calling features (such as Caller ID and voicemail  
message indicator) that are standard within the  
Sprint PCS Network may not be available.  
You will experience the same security and privacy risks  
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional  
analog cellular services today.  
Battery life will be shorter when you use your phone for  
cellular roaming than when you use it on a PCS CDMA  
network.  
If you’re on your phone and leave a Sprint PCS Service Area, your  
call will be dropped. When reentering a Sprint PCS Service Area  
while on a roaming call, turn your phone off and on again to  
acquire Sprint PCS Service.  
If you need customer service for any reason while using your  
phone outside the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network, just dial 611  
from your Sprint PCS Phone. However, because you’re outside the  
Sprint PCS Network, you may reach the local service provider’s  
customer service instead of Sprint PCS Customer Care. To be sure  
that you reach Sprint PCS Customer Care, dial 1-888-211-4PCS.

performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it  
needs to be replaced.  
Disposal of Batteries  
The dual-band Sprint PCS Touchpoint Phone™ batteries are  
Lithium Ion (LiIon); please dispose of properly. In some areas,  
the disposal of rechargeable batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
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 transmits in the frequency  
range of 1851.25 MHz to 1908.75 MHz and receives in the  
frequency range of 1931.25 MHz to 1988.75 MHz in digital  
mode and transmits in the frequency range of 869.04 MHz to  
893.97 MHz and receives in the frequency range of 824.04 MHz  
to 848.97 MHz in analog mode. The power level can reach a  
maximum of 200mW. When your phone is in use, the system  
handling your call controls the power level.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, you should always  
follow any special regulations in a given area. Be sure to turn  
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may  
cause interference or danger.  
83  
User Guide  
Phone Use While 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.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Focus on driving, not talking.  
Use a Hands-Free Car Kit (optional accessory).  
WARNING -- FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY  
AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
Turn Your Phone Off Before Boarding An Aircraft  
You should turn off your 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 crewmember to use your phone while the  
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using  
your phone while the plane is in the air.  
Radio Frequency Safety  
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  
84  
Important Safety and Warranty Information  
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).  
The design of your 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission  
before using the phone near medical equipment.  
85  
User Guide  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a  
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a hand  
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference  
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the  
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless  
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:  
Should always keep the phone more than six inches from  
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the  
potential for interference.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,  
turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing  
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult  
your hearing aid provider.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to  
assist you in obtaining this information.  
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any  
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals  
86  
Important Safety and Warranty Information  
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be  
sensitive to external RF energy.  
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.  
Blasting Areas  
Turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas  
posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off  
explosives.  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. It is rare,  
but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks  
could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even  
death.  
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.  
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in  
87  
User Guide  
the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or  
accessories.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or  
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard  
(NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire  
Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA  
02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.  
Restricting Children’s Access To Your Phone  
Your 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.  
WARNING -- CHOKING HAZARD -- ANTENNA MAY  
BECOME DISLODGED  
Attempting to remove or repeated twisting of the  
antenna will loosen the materials securing it into place  
and may reduce the child restraint nature of the  
antenna. Once the antenna is loosened or removed,  
only an authorized Sprint PCS Representative can restore  
the antenna’s original integrity. Do not attempt to remove  
or twist the antenna.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your dual-band Sprint PCS  
Touchpoint Phone™ not expressly approved in this document  
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your  
authority to operate this equipment. Only use Sprint PCS-approved

batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any other type will  
invalidate the warranty.  
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. If it is  
inoperable, return it to a Sprint PCS Center or call  
Sprint PCS Customer Care for service.
