Once your phone is on, it may display “Searching...”
When your phone finds a signal, it enters standby
mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are
ready to begin making and receiving calls.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off
(unless the battery is charging).
Battery and Charger
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes
of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically
activated. When a signal is found, your phone
automatically returns to standby mode.
WARNING: Use only Boost-approved or Samsung-approved
batteries and chargers with your phone. The
failure to use a Boost-approved or Samsung-
approved battery and charger may increase the
risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or
explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also
initiate a search for Boost service by pressing any key
(when your phone is turned on).
Installing the Battery
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power
when you are in an area where there is no signal.
ᮣ
See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2.
Removing the Battery

2A. Phone Basics
2. Press the battery release latch up and remove the
battery from the phone.
Charging the Battery
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 any
information you were just working on.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion
battery as you can be burned.
Battery Capacity
Always use a Boost-approved or Samsung-approved
desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is
fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.45 hours of
continuous digital talk time and 300 hours of standby
time.
ᮣ
Plug the flat end of the charger into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical
outlet.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes
of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and
then turns off.
With the Boost-approved Li-Ion battery, you can
recharge the battery before it becomes completely run
down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Navigating Through the Menus
The navigation key on your phone lets you scroll
through onscreen items. Many menus feature a scroll
bar on the right to help you keep track of your position
in the menu.
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems 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.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access
to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check
with your local service provider for details.
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 healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
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.
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.
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.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

4A. Important Safety Information
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing
Aid Device
A number of our phones have been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.)
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability
rating categories for both.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T
Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been
rated have a label located on the box. Your SPH-M390 has an
M3 and T4 rating.
Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing
aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,
there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It
is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your service pro-
vider or phone retailer.
4A. Important Safety Information
93
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to
interference noise from wireless phones and should have
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
ⅷ Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from
your hearing aid.
ⅷ Move the phone around to find the point with least
interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers
excellent use.
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
ⅷ Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is
synonymous for T ratings.
ⅷ Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Boost
Mobile is not aware of similar problems with Boost Mobile
phones resulting from the proper use of batteries approved
by the manufacturer of your phone. Use only manufacturer-
approved batteries found through your phone’s
We further suggests you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your 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

Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use a manufacturer
approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory.
If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is
at least 7/16 inch (1.0 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-manufacturer-approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When
it’s turned on, it receives and transmits 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
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website

FCC ID number: A3LSPHM390.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the
following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
FCC Notice
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.
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.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
The highest reported SAR values of the SPH-M390 are:
ⅷ Head: 1.09 W/Kg
ⅷ Body-worn: 1.09 W/Kg
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.

What is the procedure for resolving disputes?
AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE DISCLAIMER OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
ALL DISPUTES WITH SAMSUNG ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE SALE, CONDITION OR
PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION,
AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY. Any such dispute shall not be
combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other
person’s or entity’s Product or claim, and specifically, without
limitation of the foregoing, shall not under any circumstances
proceed as part of a class action. The arbitration shall be conducted
before a single arbitrator, whose award may not exceed, in form or
amount, the relief allowed by the applicable law. The arbitration shall
be conducted according to the American Arbitration Association
(AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer
disputes. This arbitration provision is entered pursuant to the
Federal Arbitration Act. The laws of the State of Texas, without
reference to its choice of laws principles, shall govern the
interpretation of the Limited Warranty and all disputes that are
subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall decide all
issues of interpretation and application of this arbitration provision
and the Limited Warranty.
SAMSUNG MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE
QUALITY, CAPABILITIES, OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE OR
SUITABILITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT
USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PRODUCT, OR THE ABILITY
TO INTEGRATE ANY SUCH SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT WITH
THE PRODUCT, WHETHER SUCH THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR
EQUIPMENT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT DISTRIBUTED
BY SAMSUNG OR OTHERWISE. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
QUALITY, CAPABILITIES, OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE AND
SUITABILITY OF ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR
EQUIPMENT RESTS SOLELY WITH THE USER AND THE DIRECT
VENDOR, OWNER OR SUPPLIER OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY
SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT.
Nothing in the Product instructions or information shall be construed
to create an express warranty of any kind with respect to the
Products. No agent, employee, dealer, representative or reseller is
authorized to modify or extend this Limited Warranty or to make
binding representations or claims, whether in advertising,
presentations or otherwise, on behalf of SAMSUNG regarding the
Products or this Limited Warranty.
For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of
attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less (“Small
Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable
attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part of any award,
but may not grant SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness fees
or costs unless it is determined that the claim was brought in bad
faith. In a Small Claim case, you shall be required to pay no more

also have other rights that vary from state to state.

the benefits of the Limited Warranty.
than half of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees, or
$50.00 of such fees, whichever is less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the
remainder of such fees. Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for
arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney
fees and expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 (“Large Claim”)
shall be determined according to AAA rules. In a Large Claim case,
the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among
the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs.
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
SAMSUNG IS NOT LIABLE FOR PERFORMANCE ISSUES OR
INCOMPATIBILITIES CAUSED BY YOUR EDITING OF REGISTRY
SETTINGS, OR YOUR MODIFICATION OF OPERATING SYSTEM
SOFTWARE.
This arbitration provision also applies to claims against SAMSUNG’s
employees, representatives and affiliates if any such claim arises
from the Product’s sale, condition or performance.
USING CUSTOM OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE MAY CAUSE
YOUR DEVICE AND APPLICATIONS TO WORK IMPROPERLY.
You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure by
providing notice to SAMSUNG no later than 30 calendar days
from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of
the Product. To opt out, you must send notice by e-mail to
[email protected], with the subject line: “Arbitration
Opt Out.” You must include in the opt out e-mail (a) your
name and address; (b) the date on which the Product was
purchased; (c) the Product model name or model number;
and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable, if
you have it (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found
(i) on the Product box; (ii) on the Product information screen,
which can be found under “Settings;” (iii) on a label on the
back of the Product beneath the battery, if the battery is
removable; and (iv) on the outside of the Product if the
battery is not removable). Alternatively, you may opt out by
calling 1-888-987-4357 no later than 30 calendar days from
Severability.
If any portion of this Limited Warranty is held to be illegal or
unenforceable, such partial illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the enforceability of the remainder of the Limited Warranty.
