signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby
mode.
In power save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate a search
for

turned
ON).

Using the Battery
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS 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 2.25
hours of
continuous digital talk time (1 hour in analog) or up to 7
days of
continuous digital standby time (15 hours in analog).
Note: Long backlight
settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and Browser
use affect the battery's talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to charge your phone's battery and
watch your indicator to ensure your levels are okay.
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these
steps to
install it:
1. Press and slide the battery cover to remove it.
2. Place the battery pack in the battery cavity so it fits
over the
connector.
3.

numbers or messages.
2. Press and slide the battery
cover to remove it.
3. Lift the battery pack up from the bottom to take it out.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable
battery. You
should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin
using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If
your battery
level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off
and you
will lose all the information you were just working on. For
a quick
check
of your phone's battery level, glance at the battery charge
indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone's
display
screen. If the battery
charge is getting too low, the battery icon
( ) blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Charger, Travel
Charger or Vehicle Power Adapter to charge your battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage
to your phone and void the warranty.

When you are ready to charge your battery, it
is vital that you use
only Sprint PCS-approved Desktop Chargers and AC Adapter
Chargers. To use the AC Adapter provided with your phone:
1. Turn the
phone off.
2. Insert the flat end of the AC Adapter into the slot on
the bottom
of the phone (with the battery installed).
3. Plug the AC Adapter into a
AC120V outlet.

off.
6. Disconnect the AC Adapter from the outlet.
7.
Press and hold in the buttons on the flat connector of the
AC
Adapter and pull the connector away from the phone.
It generally takes about 1. 5 to 2
hours to fully recharge a
completely rundown battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon
battery, it is okay to recharge the battery before it becomes
completely run down.

R
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you're
off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band
Sprint PCS Phone works anywhere on the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog
and digital networks virtually
anywhere in the U. S. where compatible wireless service is
available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features
that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone's display screen always lets you
know when you're off
the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating
in
analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what
you'll
see
depending on where you're using your phone.
Digital Roaming
Indicator Indicator
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other Digital Networks
Analog Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area
code + number).
Note: You will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you're roaming on other digital networks, your call quality
and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls while on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. You
may not be able to access certain
calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality
provided by other analog carriers today. Although
some calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may
be
unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls. You will
experience a few differences:
^A You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out
and
dropped calls.
Rm
Rm
Section 3 18 Understanding Roaming
24.
^A Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint
PCS
Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS
Wireless Web and
direct international dialing, are unavailable.
^A There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with
conventional analog services today.
^A Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone
for analog roaming.
Tip: If you're on a call when
you leave the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and enter an
area where roaming is available (whether digital
or analog), your call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service
is available, turn your phone off and on
again to reconnect to the Sprint PCS Nationwide
Network.
Setting Your Phone's Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to
roam.
By using the Systems menu option, you can
determine which
signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone
to
control your roaming
experience:
1. Press to display Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press or the softkey
under "OK".
^A Sprint PCS: This setting allows
the phone to operate only in
Sprint PCS service.
^A Automatic : This setting allows the phone to select a system
automatically.
^A Analog : This
setting allows the phone to operate on an analog
system only.

Web. Let the adventure begin.
Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web 83

Sprint PCS Wireless
Web
89.
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web
With the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and your wireless
Internet-ready
phone, you have access to many features via the wireless
Internet:
^A The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you to view
specially-designed versions of popular web sites.
^A Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail lets you send and receive
e-mail
quickly and easily.
^A The AOL
Instant Messenger service lets you keep in touch with
family and friends via two-way instant messaging.
^A With Sprint PCS Wireless Web Short Mail, you
can use a person's
Sprint PCS Phone Number to send instant text messages to their
Internet-ready Sprint PCS Phone ^Ö and they can send
messages
to
you.
^A Sprint PCS Wireless Web Updates let you receive daily
information updates, including weather, stock quotes and sports
scores.
^A The Sprint
PCS Wireless Web Connection lets you connect to the
Internet or your company's network with a laptop PC or hand-held
computing device, and a Sprint PCS
Wireless Web TM
Connection Kit.
Note: Sprint PCS Wireless Web service will not work when roaming
off the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and may not be
available in select
affiliate areas.
Section 13 84 Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web
90.
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Your phone comes
equipped with a Browser, which allows you to
access up-to-the minute information through the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed
text versions of popular Internet
sites, including Yahoo!®, Amazon. com®, The Weather
Channel®
and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your
phone is rather different from using a home computer because
sites display specialized text and reduce their graphics.
The Browser connects to the
Internet by placing a call. Note that
flashes on the display whenever a call is in progress. Service
charges vary depending on your service option.
Launching the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
To launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser:
1. Press the softkey under "Web" in the standby
mode.
2.
Press or highlight Internet and press .
3. "Charges will apply, Start?" may appear. Press
the right softkey
to confirm "Yes".
4. Follow the screen
prompts.
The first time you use the Browser, you'll be prompted to
enable the
security feature. This automatic process will take 3^Ö
6 minutes to
complete
and it occurs just once. When the process is complete,
you're ready to start using the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
Following the security setup, you'll see
the Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Home Page. This is the main page for the Browser and it gives
you
access to all the sites in the Sprint PCS Wireless Web. The
next time
you use the Browser, you may not see the home page at first
because the Browser will display the page you were viewing
when
you last exited the
Browser.
Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web 85
13
Sprint PCS Wireless
Web
91.
The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Home Page
Note: The Sprint PCS Wireless
Web Home Page is subject to change.
You may notice that sometimes the Browser will launch without
placing a call. This is because the phone stores
recently viewed
pages in its memory cache. The Browser will connect
automatically when you access a page that's not stored in
the
cache.
If the phone
has been inactive for awhile and a new wireless
Internet site has not been requested, the Browser will
automatically disconnect. The Browser will remain
active ^Ö only
the connection will end. The Browser will automatically
reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not
stored
in the phone's
memory cache. For this reason, you may find that
you are billed for several network connections within a single
session. This is normal and is designed to
minimize airtime
charges.
When launching the Browser, you may need to take an extra
step
or see a reminder that Browser calls will be charged. (See
"Web
Guard" on page 87 for more information.)

Section 13 98 Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web
104.
Receiving Sprint PCS Wireless Web Calls
Most users use the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web Connection to place
outgoing data/ fax calls. But you can also set up your Sprint
PCS
Phone to receive (host) data and fax calls. Because each
phone
model is different, the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection

to
receive data and fax
calls. Here's the procedure to set up your
Sprint PCS Phone to receive a (mobile-terminated) data or
fax call:
1. Select the menu option to enable
incoming data/ fax calls. Note
that incoming voice calls are not possible when your Sprint
PCS
Phone is set to receive data/ fax calls.
2. Once you've
received the incoming data/ fax call, you may want
to return the phone to its normal state by disabling incoming
data/ fax calls.
Using Special Features
During a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Call
Your phone gives you the ability to use special features while
you're on a Sprint PCS Wireless Web call. They are
outlined below:
^A Caller ID: Just like your phone stores regular Caller ID
numbers,
it also stores the numbers of incoming Sprint PCS Wireless
Web
Connection calls.
Note: Caller ID is not available on Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Browser calls.
^A Call Waiting: If someone tries to reach you while
you're
connected to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web, your phone behaves

P art of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is
knowing where and how it works at optimum efficiency. This
section outlines
performance and safety guidelines that ensure you experience
the full quality that your Sprint PCS Phone was designed
to give you.
Knowing Performance
and Safety Guidelines 101
14
Performance and Safety
107.
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception Keeping Taps 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.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes
of searching, a Power Save feature is
automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically
rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself
by pressing any key. Anytime
the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on
the
screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby
mode.
Understanding How Your
Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it's turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency
(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.
Knowing
Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated
NCRP standards described below.
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
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard
in
a regulation. In August 1996, 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).
Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
^A Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended
and over your
shoulder.
^A Try not
to hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna.
^A Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
^A Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Section 14 102
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
108.
^A 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. If
it's inoperable, return it to a Sprint® Store or call
Sprint PCS
Customer Care for service.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint PCS authorized
personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty
service may void the warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY
DAMAGE
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.
When using your phone in the car:
^A Get to know your
phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
^A When available, use a hands-free device.
^A Position your phone within easy reach.
^A Let the
person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
^A Do not take notes or
look up phone numbers while driving.
^A Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when stationary
or before pulling into traffic.
^A Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may divert
your attention from the road.
^A Dial to report serious emergencies. It's free
from your
wireless phone.
^A Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
^A Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
number
when necessary.
Tip: Purchase an optional Hands-Free Car Kit.
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.

Performance and Safety
109.
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.
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.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities
and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
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.
Turning 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.
Turn off your phone when you're in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone or its
accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but
not always, clearly marked. They
include:
^A Fueling areas such as gas stations.
^A Below deck on boats.
^A Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
^A Areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or
metal powders.
^A 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.
Section 14 104 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines

It's best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: 4 o F to 140 o F (-20 o C to 60 o C)
More than
one month: 4 o F to 113 o F (-20 o C to 45 o C)
^A Never expose the terminals of the battery pack to any other
metal object.
Always wrap it or place it
in a plastic bag, whenever transporting it.
^A Never heat and never attempt to disassemble the battery
pack, as that
could cause leakage of the caustic
electrolyte. If the battery is accidentally broken, avoid
skin contact with the contents. In the event of skin contact,
wash the affected area immediately
and obtain prompt medical attention.
^A Always turn your phone OFF before removing the battery
pack, and
always use the battery pack for its intended
purpose only.

Emergency Calls Never rely solely upon your wireless phone
for essential communications
(e. g. medical emergencies),
if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone requires a complex
combination of radio signals, relay stations and landline
networks for its operation.
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible
under all conditions on all wireless phone systems.
Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes
be the only available means of communication at the scene
of an accident. When making an emergency
call, always give the recipient all necessary information
as accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency call
until you have received
clearance to do so.
FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules Background
The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless
carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location
(Automatic Location
Identification
= ALI) information as well as "911" calls to Public
Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of
the caller in case of
emergency.
Accuracy
requirement for ALI information by FCC E911 rules is within
50 meters for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters for
95 percent of calls
(FCC's ALI
Requirements).
CDM9155SP's ALI Capability
The Sprint PCS Phone CDM9155SP is an ALI-capable phone equipped
with the GPS (Global Positioning System:
Satellite assisted location information
system) receiver supporting GPS based ALI-capable network
to comply with the FCC's ALI requirements.
The
network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent
on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network;
(b) GPS satellite
signals
being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not
always work indoors, for example) ; and (c) handset signals
reaching wireless "base
stations"
(atmospheric and environmental conditions may cause variations
in handset receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is
subject, in part, to system constraints within the wireless
network to which the E911 signal is
transmitted and over which Audiovox has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the CDM9155SP's ALI capability
is to be used for E911 purposes only.

Safety Information for Wireless Handheld Phones Read this
information before using your handheld portable Cellular
Telephone.
Your
wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency
(RF)
signals.
FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States, with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously
set by both U. S. and international standards bodies. The
design of this phone complies
with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, damaged antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the BC-9100 belt-clip and LB-9100 holster models,
offered by Audiovox as an accessory to
this phone, and found to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar
accessories should be avoided, as they
have not been tested and may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC website at www. fcc. gov .
PHONE OPERATION
Normal position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
^A Extend your antenna fully.
^A Do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if
using your phone while driving,
please:
^A Give full attention to driving ^× driving safely
is your first responsibility.
^A Use hands-free operation,
if available.

^A Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving
conditions so require.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained
between a handheld
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:
^A Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6") inches
from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
^A Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket.
^A Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for
interference.
^A 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
service provider [or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives].
Other Medical
Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are 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 or
health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with
the manufacturer or its
representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
Section 14 110 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
116.
AIRCRAFT
FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch
OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with
blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "Blasting
area" or in areas posted "Turn off two-way radio".
Obey all signs
and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not
always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling
areas (such as gasoline
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer
or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); 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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag
inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the
air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

SAR Information THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to
radiofrequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U. S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines
and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR.
The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1. 6 W/ kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested
frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can
be well below
the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network.
In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests
are performed in positions and locations (e. g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1. 45 W/ kg
and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.72 W/ kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file
with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www. fcc. gov/ oet/ fccid
after searching on FCC ID CJ6DCE45380A.
Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site
at
http:// phonefacts. net.
* In
the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1. 6 watts/ kg (W/ kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Consumer Update on Wireless Phones U. S. Food and Drug Administration
-Center for Devices and
Radiological Health
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated
with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit
low levels of radiofrequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being used. They
also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty
in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons
for
inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can
be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take
action if wireless phones are shown to emit radiofrequency
energy (RF)
at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health
hazard and to
repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take
a number of steps,
including the following: ^A
Support needed research into possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
^A Design wireless
phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function; and ^A
Cooperate in providing users of wireless
phones with the best possible information on possible effects
of wireless phone use on human
health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects
of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
^A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
^A Environmental Protection Agency
^A Federal Communications
Commission
^A Occupational Safety and Health Administration
^A National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of
Health participates in some interagency working group activities,
as well.
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines 113

Performance and Safety
119.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones
that are sold in the United
States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for
safety questions about wireless
phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher
power than do the
wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than
those they can get from
wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of
this update?
The term "wireless phone" refers here to hand-held
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called "cell,"
"mobile," or "PCS" phones.
These types
of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency
energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone
and the user's
head.
These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA
and other
federal
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a
person's RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from
the source. The so-called "cordless phones," which
have a base unit connected
to the telephone
wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels,
and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of
the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results,
and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research
methods.
Animal
experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results
that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few
animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of
RF could accelerate the
development of
cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies
that showed increased tumor development used animals that
had been
genetically engineered or
treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed
to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
exposed the animals to RF for
up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar
to the conditions under which people use wireless phones,
so we
don't know with certainty what the
results of such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the
use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma,
or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the
brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of
any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the
studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since
the average period of phone use in these studies was around
three years.
Section 14 114 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
120.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones
poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies
of people actually using wireless phones would provide some
of the data
that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed
in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would
be needed to provide
reliable
proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10
or more
years' follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some
health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval
between the time of
exposure to a
cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop -if they
do -may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological
studies is
hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day
use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle
at which the
phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health
effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U. S. National Toxicology Program
and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure
that high priority animal studies
are conducted to address important questions about the effects
of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF) Project since its inception in
1996. An influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has
driven the establishment of new
research programs around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the
scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts
to independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will
also include a broad assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure
I can get by using
my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with FDA and the other federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) of 1. 6 watts per kilogram (1. 6 W/ kg). The FCC
limit is consistent with the
safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the
body's ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb
energy from the wireless phone
and
is set well below levels known to have effects.
Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines 115
14
Performance and Safety
121.
Manufacturers of
wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC.
The FCC website (http:// www. fcc. gov/ oet/ rfsafety) gives
directions for locating the FCC identification number on
your phone so you can find your
phone's RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has FDA
done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless
phones ?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a
technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the
participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
"Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) in the Human
Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques," sets forth the first consistent test methodology
for measuring the rate at which RF
is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The
test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in
watts/ kg (or milliwatts/ g) of matter. This measurement is
used
to determine whether a
wireless phone complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency
energy from my
wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products^× and at this
point we do not know that there is^× it is probably
very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding
even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize
your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is
a key
factor in how
much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
^A If you must conduct
extended conversations by wireless phone every
day, you could place more distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance.
For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected
to
a remote
antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF
exposure from these
products, you can use measures like those described above
to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower
exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above
would apply to children and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of
wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and
the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Section 14 116 Knowing Performance and Safety
Guidelines
122.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at
all. For
example, the
government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing
such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists
that
using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects.
Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children
was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact
with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped
develop a detailed test
method
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.
This test method is
now
part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement
of Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint
effort by FDA,
medical
device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed
in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure
that cardiac
pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary
standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless
phones so that that no interference occurs when a person uses
a "compatible" phone and a "compatible"
hearing aid at the same
time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical
devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur,
FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.

successful in connecting with the service with which you
seek to connect,
even if the connection is later broken or dropped. An exception
is that you are
not charged for voice calls that are not completed. You are
charged for
completed calls to your Number from the time shortly before
the phone starts ringing
until the call is terminated by either party. You will be
charged peak
rates for the entire duration of calls initiated during the
peak time periods
applicable to your Service. You will be charged off-peak
rates for the entire
duration of calls initiated during the off-peak time periods
applicable to
your Service. In addition to these usage charges, you may
be charged for recurring
monthly service charges, applicable local and long-distance
toll charges,
other usage charges, connection fees, roaming charges, directory
assistance,
call completion charges, optional features you select at an
extra cost, and
taxes and other regulatory related charges. Charges for most
Services are
incurred in one-minute increments, with partial minutes of
use rounded up to the
next highest minute. You must pay, by each invoice due date,
all
charges for Services provided to the Number for each phone
or other equipment that our
records show you activated, no matter who actually uses
or has possession of the phone or other equipment at the time
Services are provided.
Voice
Command
Sprint PCS Voice Command SM is an optional service that allows
you to place calls by using speech recognition technology.
Calls to 911 or
similar
emergency numbers cannot be placed through the Voice Command
feature.
Section 15 122 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
128.
Airtime
and applicable long distance charges for a call completed
from your Number using the Voice Command feature begin when
you press or activate
the TALK or
similar keys and end when your call is terminated by hitting
the END key or by returning to the Voice Command platform.
If you initiate and
complete another
call without leaving the Voice Command platform, a separate
charge for that call will begin from the time the previous
call was
terminated. Airtime and
applicable long distance charges will be applied to the entire
length of a completed call initiated from Voice Command. Using
Directory Assistance to input
names into your Voice Command address book will incur additional
charges. Details on charges for the Voice Command
feature can be found in the marketing
materials for this feature, by visiting www. sprintpcs. com
or by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days
in length. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time
to time. Except as otherwise provided in your
Service Plan, monthly recurring charges (MRCs)
are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for
Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible
after the charges accrue. We may, however,
invoice you for usage and charges occurring before the invoicing
cycle being invoiced, if they were not
previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage
incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will
be applied to your Service Plan minutes
for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change
your Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred
and the beginning of the current
invoicing cycle, those minutes from the prior invoicing cycle
will be charged at the rate per minute for usage over included
minutes provided in the
Service Plan in effect at the time the usage was incurred.
Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by
credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice
or consent is required
before
we invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all
amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third party.
You must promptly notify
us of any
change in your invoicing address or of the credit card or
bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to require
payment by money
order,
cashier's check or other secured form of payment. If we take
action to receive payment beyond invoicing you for charges
for Services or equipment,
you
must pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys'
fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court
costs. If we act as
an
invoicing agent for a third-party service provider, payments
received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us
and any remaining amounts are
applied to sums due and owing to the third-party service provider.
We may charge an additional fee for any check or other negotiable
instrument
endorsed by
you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any
reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods of payment.

Warranty/ Terms and Conditions
129.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date
shown on your
invoice. Any payment for Services and equipment not made
when due
accrues late charges until paid at the rate of 1. 5% per month
or at the highest rate
allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each
day that
payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly. Acceptance
of late or partial
payments (even if marked "paid in full") does not
waive our right to
collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that
you have about any charges invoiced to you within 15 days
of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the invoice.
You
may notify us of any dispute by
notifying Sprint PCS Customer Care. Calls to our sales or
general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed
invoice procedures are described
on the invoice, you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Services
at any time by
giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
we may
terminate Services at any time, with or without notice. We
may deactivate any Number
before you receive notice of termination without liability
to you.
Termination by either of us may be with or without cause.
Termination. Term Service
Plan.
If you are on a Term Service Plan (1) your ability to terminate
Services before the end of the term is limited, (2) your ability
to change to another
Service
Plan before the end of the term may be limited, and may result
in a termination or activation fee, (3) you may be required
to pay a termination
fee, (4) we may not terminate Services without cause before
the end of the term and (5) if we terminate Services for cause
before the end of the term,
you
may be required to pay a termination fee. No termination
fee is charged if you terminate a Term Service Plan within
14 days of activation of your
Sprint PCS
Phone. During the term we must give each other notice to
terminate Services. At and after the expiration of the term,
you may
terminate Services at any time
by giving us notice and we may, subject to this Agreement,
terminate Services at any time, with or without notice.
Termination. General.
Regardless of
whether you have a Non-Term or a Term Service Plan, we may
terminate or suspend Services to you without liability (1)
if you breach any
provision of this
Agreement (including if you fail to pay any charges for Services),
or (2) if you fail to pay any charges due us for equipment
or
otherwise. If you promptly
cure the breach, we may, but are not obligated to, reactivate
Services to you. You must pay all charges for (a) Services
provided
before termination of a
Number and (b) equipment, regardless of who terminates Services.
If Services are terminated before the end of your current
invoicing cycle, (i) the monthly
recurring charge is not prorated to the date
Section 15 124 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
130.
of termination, and (ii) you will not
receive a credit or refund for any unused minutes in your
Service Plan.
Account Spending Limit
If we agree to provide Services to you on an Account
Spending Limit basis, we will tell you your Account Spending
Limit before we start Services to your
Number, or as reasonably practicable after the limit
is imposed. If we require a deposit for you to establish
or keep Services on an Account Spending Limit
basis, we will hold the deposit as partial guarantee
of payment for Services (see Deposits). Charges for Services
accrue against your Account Spending
Limit as they are incurred. We may charge an initial ASL
start up fee. We may charge a monthly ASL service fee, in
addition to your recurring monthly
service charge. We may suspend Services to your Number without
prior notice to you when your account balance reaches your
Account Spending
Limit. Services are restored when you have paid any past due
balance and pay a
specified minimum amount to reduce your account balance below
your
Account Spending Limit. We may change this minimum amount
at any time upon notice to you.
You may pay any past due balance and the minimum
amount by any method authorized by Sprint PCS. Call Sprint
PCS Customer Care for information about
authorized methods of making these payments.
We may charge you a fee for calls that involve our live customer
care services. If we provide Services to you
on an Account Spending Limit basis, Services
and coverage may be limited in certain ways. You must pay
all charges for Services even if they exceed the
amount of your Account Spending Limit.
Deposits
If we require a deposit for you to establish or keep Services,
we will hold the deposit as partial
guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the
deposit amount at any time to reflect revised estimated monthly
charges based upon your usage. A
deposit may not be used to pay any invoice (unless
it is used to pay a final invoice) or delay payment. The deposit
amount, the length of time we hold the
deposit and changes to the deposit amount are
determined based on your credit and payment history. The rate
of interest on the deposit is subject to change.
We may mix deposits with our other funds. If
Services are terminated for any reason, we may, without notice
to you, apply your deposit toward payment of
outstanding charges and return any excess
to you at your last known address within 75 days after termination
of Services. If the U. S. Postal Service cannot
deliver the money to you and
returns it to us, we will hold it for you for one year from
the date of return and, during that period, we may charge
a monthly
servicing fee against the
deposit balance. Any money held during this one-year period
will not accrue interest for your benefit. You forfeit any
portion of
the money left after the
one-year period.
Wireless Web and Voice Portal Services
Wireless Web Services are part of the Services that can be
obtained
through Sprint PCS. Wireless Web Services may not be immediately
available in some

Sprint PCS affiliate markets. Use of Wireless Web Services
requires a wireless data compatible phone or certain other
equipment (or
both) and is subject to
any memory, storage or other limitation in the phone or other
equipment. The Caller ID blocking feature is not available
when using
Wireless Web
Services. For data calls (including Wireless Web and Voice
Portal calls) that are attempted, but not completed, you are
charged for the time
during which
the network attempts to connect the call. You are charged
for time spent connected to the Wireless Web or Voice Portal,
including time spent
browsing
on the Internet or Voice Portal and reviewing or scrolling
through Internet information on-line while still connected
to the Sprint PCS Network.
Not all
Internet sites can be accessed and you may receive an error
message if you attempt to access a site that cannot be accessed
through Wireless Web
Services. You are also charged for Wireless Web connections
to review your Sprint PCS account information. Wireless Web
Services and Voice Portal data
calls
may not be available when you are roaming off the Sprint
PCS Network. Wireless Web Services are not available to you
if you are on a Sprint PCS
Prepaid
Service Plan. If you receive Services on an Account Spending
Limit basis, you may be limited in the Wireless Web and Voice

available to you.
Call Sprint PCS Customer Care or visit our web site at www.

information. Specific additional
information about Wireless Web Services and Voice Portal
Services, including pricing, included minutes and

Sprint PCS is not responsible for any opinions, advice,
statements, services or other information is provided by
third parties and accessible through
Wireless Web Services or Voice Portal Services. Neither Sprint
PCS nor its vendors or licensors guarantees the accuracy,
completeness or usefulness of
information that is obtained through the Wireless Web Services
or
Voice Portal Services. You are responsible for evaluating
such content.
Taxes and Other Regulatory Related Charges
We invoice you for taxes, fees and
other charges levied by federal, state or local authorities,
or foreign government on Services. We also assess charges
associated with regulatory mandates
and obligations, such as Universal Service and Enhanced 911
service. If you claim any tax exemption, you must
provide us with a valid tax-exempt document.
Any tax exemption applies only from the date we receive a
valid tax-exempt document.
Roaming
Calls made outside of your Home Service Area and outside of
the Sprint PCS Network are "roaming" calls. Your
Sprint PCS phone is specifically designed
and engineered to work only on the Sprint PCS Network. It
works
on another CDMA PCS provider's system only when a roaming
agreement is in place
between Sprint PCS and the other provider. If your Sprint
PCS Phone is
a

dual-mode phone, it works on both a CDMA PCS provider's system
(in addition to the
Sprint PCS Network) and a wireless analog
telecommunications provider's system only when roaming agreements
are in place between Sprint PCS and the other
providers. If we do not have a
roaming agreement in place, you may be able to place roaming
calls "manually" by using a valid credit card. If
there is a gap
or other interruption
of coverage within a Sprint PCS coverage area that prevents
connection with the Sprint PCS network and your dual-mode
phone is set to
roam
automatically when outside Sprint PCS coverage, you may incur
roaming fees within a Sprint PCS coverage area. Certain features
are not available
when
roaming. Roaming rates may be different from and higher than
the rates you pay for calls within your Sprint PCS Home Service
Area and on the
Sprint PCS
Network. Roaming charges are invoiced according to the practices
of the roaming service provider. When roaming, you are subject
to the
limitation of
liability provisions and other applicable rules imposed by
the roaming service provider.
Interruption of Service
We may give credit for a continuous
interruption of Services for more than 24 hours on a case-by-case
basis. Interruptions caused by your negligent or
willful actions, or by failure of
equipment or service not provided by us, or by causes beyond
our reasonable control, do not qualify for credit. We may
provide you with an airtime credit of
one minute for a call that is disconnected because of transmission
limitations caused by atmospheric,
geographic or topographic conditions and that you
redial within one minute of disconnection. You must notify
us within 24 hours of the disconnection to
request credit.
Phones and Other Equipment
Phones
and other equipment may be purchased and returned as provided
in the purchase documents. We are not the manufacturer of
the phones or other
equipment. The
only warranties on the phones or other equipment are any
limited warranties extended by the manufacturers. We have
no liability in
connection with the
phones and other equipment or for the manufacturers' acts
or omissions.
Lost or Stolen Equipment
If your phone or other equipment is lost or stolen, you
must notify us by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care. You are
responsible for all charges for
Services provided to the Number for the lost or stolen
equipment before you notify us of the loss or theft. We will
deactivate Services to the Number upon
notification to us of any loss or theft. You may be
required to provide evidence of the loss or theft (for example,
a police report or sworn
statement). If the equipment is later found, we may require
that
you exchange it for another phone or other equipment before
we reactivate
Services (if we do reactivate Services), as well as require
you to pay a
reactivation fee. We will deactivate Services to any Number

notice to you if we suspect any unlawful or fraudulent use
of the Number. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in
investigating
suspected unlawful or
fraudulent use.
Caller ID
If you do not want people you call to get the Number assigned
to your phone, you must call Sprint PCS
Customer Care for information about
automatic Caller ID blocking. The Number assigned to your
phone can be blocked on a per-call basis by dialing *67 +
Destination Number + OK, but
Caller ID delivery resumes on the next call you make. Caller
ID display on incoming calls to your Number depends on receiving
the information
from the calling party.
TTY Access
A TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications
device that allows people who are
deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Pay-Per-Call Service
We will not complete calls from
your Number to 900, 976 and similar numbers for pay-per-call
services.
International Calling
You may be limited in the international destinations that
you can call with Services. You should contact Sprint PCS
Customer Care for information about
international destinations that you cannot call.
Limitation
of Liability
Except as otherwise provided in this section, our sole liability
to you for any loss or damage arising out of providing or
failing to provide
Services
(including mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors,
or defects) does not exceed (1) in cases related to a specific
piece of equipment,
the prorated
MRC for Services to the piece of equipment during the affected
period, or (2) in cases not related to a specific piece of
equipment, the
prorated MRCs for
Services to you during the affected period. Neither we nor
our vendors, suppliers or licensors are liable for any damage
arising out of or
in
connection with:
a) any act or omission of any telecommunications service or
other service provider other than us;
b) any directory listing;
c) any
dropped calls or inability to place or receive calls;
d) any interruption of Services, including interruptions caused
by equipment or facilities failure or
shortages, transmission limitations or system capacity
limitations;

134.
e) traffic or
other accidents, or any health-related claims allegedly arising
from the use of Services, phones, equipment or accessories
used in
connection with the
Services;
f) the use of Sprint PCS Wireless Web Services, including
the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained from
the Internet using Sprint
PCS
Wireless Web Services or from Voice Portal Services, or Internet
services, content or applications not supported by Sprint

of God (including, without limitation,
weather-related phenomena, fire or earthquake), war,
riot, strike, or orders of governmental authority;
k) any act or omission of any third party or
independent contractor that offers products or services in
conjunction with or through the Services, or
l) your negligent or intentional act or omission.
NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING
OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT
USED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS,
OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION SURVIVES TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
Indemnification
You indemnify and defend us, our partners, directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any claim, action,
damage, liability and expense
arising out of or in connection with: (1) your acts or omissions
that occur in connection with your use of the Services or
equipment used in connection
with the Services, and (2) any communications you make or
receive using the Services. This indemnification extends to
and
includes any attorney's fees
and costs incurred by us arising from any actions or claims
to which this indemnification applies, or from the contesting
of
the applicability of this
provision. This section survives termination of this Agreement.

THE SERVICES, WHETHER BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE CUSTOMER
OR BETWEEN
THE COMPANY OR THE CUSTOMER, ON THE ONE HAND, AND
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATED BUSINESSES OF THE OTHER PARTY,
ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY
ARBITRATION AS
PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, NOT
STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT
TO
ARBITRATION.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct
the arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association. The
arbitrator will
be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list
of qualified people maintained by the AAA. All expedited procedures
prescribed
by the AAA rules
will apply, and each party will bear their own costs and attorney's
fees.
No discovery will be permitted, except that the parties will
exchange, thirty days prior to the hearing on their dispute,
all documents to be submitted to
the arbitrator, including any reports or summaries, and a
list of the names and addresses of those persons to be called
to testify. Following exchange of
this information, the parties may agree to waive a hearing.
The arbitrator will have authority only to award compensatory
damages and will not have authority to award punitive damages,
lost profits, or other
non-compensatory
damages. The arbitrator's decision and award will be final
and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator
may be
entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision
must not contain findings of fact or conclusions of law.
If any party files a judicial
or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject
to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action
or
compels arbitration, the party
filing that action must pay the other party's costs and expenses
incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration,
including attorney's fees.
Notices
You may get our current address for written notice by calling
Sprint PCS Customer Care. Written notice to you is sent to
your last known address in
our invoicing records. Written notice is deemed delivered
3 days after deposit in the U. S. mail, postage prepaid, and
properly addressed. Unless required
by
this Agreement or Applicable Laws, (1) you may notify us by
calling Sprint PCS Customer Care, and (2) we may notify you
by leaving a message
for you on
your Sprint PCS Phone, answering machine or with your answering
service. Notice addresses may be changed by giving notice
as
provided in this section.
Choice of Law; Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by and must be construed under
federal law and the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard
to
choice of law principles.

You agree to submit yourself to the personal jurisdiction
of
the courts in the State of Kansas.
General
If either of us does not enforce any right or remedy available
under this Agreement, that failure is not a
waiver of the right or remedy for any other
breach or failure by the other party. Our waiver of any requirement
in any one instance is not a general
waiver of that requirement and does not amend
this Agreement. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid
or unenforceable, that part is interpreted
consistent with Applicable Laws as
nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the
parties and the rest of this Agreement remains in full force
and effect. Section headings are for
descriptive purposes only and are not used to interpret this
Agreement. You may not assign this Agreement to any other
person or entity without our
prior written approval. This Agreement (including any referenced
documents and attachments) makes up the entire agreement
between you and us and
replaces all prior written or spoken agreements, representations,
promises or understandings between you and us. The provisions
of
this Agreement that
are contemplated to be enforceable after the termination of
the Agreement survive termination of this Agreement. This
Agreement is
subject to any
applicable federal and state law (collectively, "Applicable
Laws"). If there is a conflict, the Service Plan (including
any Term Service
Plan) controls over the
Terms.
The following provisions are not generally applicable and
apply only
to customers whose Service Plans include these terms:
Traveling
If you are making or receiving calls outside you Home Service
Area but on the Sprint PCS Network, you may be charged for
Services at a "travel"
rate for
both outgoing and incoming traveling calls. Long distance
charges may not be included in the travel rate. Traveling
charges do not apply if you
subscribe
to a Home Rate USA plan or to both Toll-Free USA and Home
Rate USA. (See Home Rate USA and Toll-Free USA for more information.)
You do not have to
register your Number when traveling outside your Home Service
Area.
Home Rate USA
This service lets you make or receive calls from anywhere
on the Sprint
PCS Network at your Home Service Area airtime rates.
Toll-Free USA
This service lets you call from anywhere on the Sprint PCS
Network to anywhere in the
United States, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands and
be
charged at your Home Service Area airtime rates, with no additional
long distance charges.
If you have Home Rate USA but do not have Toll-Free USA,
and if you make a long distance call outside of your defined
local calling area, you are invoiced
for the long distance charges.
