Safety
FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by
the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits
radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your
phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to
0.2 watts in digital mode.
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your
phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
•
•
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain
or liquid spills.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982
standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,
engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industries developed
this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research. In 1993, the Federal
If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the
power off and remove the battery.
For the best care of your phone, only Sprint
authorized personnel should service your phone
and accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this
updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic
Devices
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your
Phone
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from
wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded
electronic equipment.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED
MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Phone While Driving
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating systems
and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded
from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the
phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific
restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your
local Sprint Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory
HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing #222
on your Sprint PCS Phone.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF signals.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.
Always turn off the phone in health care
facilities and request permission before using
the phone near medical equipment.

Safety

•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a
crew member to use your phone while the plane is on
the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane
is in the air.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
•
Any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas
with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned
off. Construction crews often use remotecontrol RF
devices to set off explosives.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your
Sprint PCS Invoice.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare,
your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but
not always, clearly marked. They include:

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out
of your battery’s performance.

warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect
to the phone.
Acknowledging Special Precautions and
the FCC Notice
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex
piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
FCC Notice
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used
in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC
can require you to stop using the phone if such
interference cannot be eliminated.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster
or other body-worn accessory. Use of non-Sprint
approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protections Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.:
Publication Sales Division.

Cautions
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
Any changes or modifications to your phone not
expressly approved in this document could void your
warranty for this equipment and void your authority to
operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and void the phone
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of
a wireless handset.
27
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone
models are tested at their highest value in strict
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of
a phone can be substantially less than the level
reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets
strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head:0.600 W/Kg(CDMA),
1.280 (PCS), Body- worn:0.162 W/Kg(CDMA), 0.789
W/Kg (PCS). Body-worn operations are restricted to
Samsung-supplied, approved or none Samsung
designated accessories that have no metal and must
provide at least 1.8cm separation between the device,
including its antenna whether extended or retracted,
and the user’s body. None compliance to the above
restrictions may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission
Guidelines.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
FCC ID number: A3LSPHA920. More information on
the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC
