The following list previews some of those features and options and  
provides page numbers where you can find out more:  
Dual-band/tri-mode capability allows you to make and receive  
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and to roam

important events (page 102).  
The Contacts directory (page 93) can store up to 500 numbers  
and 300 email and Web addresses in 300 entries (entries can store

The battery provides up to 3.5 hours of continuous digital talk time  
(1.7 hours in analog) or up to 288 hours of continuous digital standby  
time (22 hours in analog).  
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the low battery icon  
appears. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left,  
the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, Sprint PCS  
Ready Link mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery  
before it runs out of power.

ChargingtheBattery  
Your Sprint PCS Vision Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should  
be charged 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 low battery icon  
(

and void the warranty.

TTY UseWith Sprint PCS Service  
A TTY (also known as a 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.  
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with  
the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital  
wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a  
special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable  
was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device  
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint Customer  
Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first  
dialing  
. Then provide the state TRS with this  
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling  
Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means,  
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and  
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when  
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some  
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY  
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the  
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are  
currently working to resolve this.
