Turning your Phone ON and OFF
Turning your Phone ON:
1. Fully extend the antenna to receive the best
reception.
2. Press
for approximately one second.
Once your phone is ON, the red LED light turns
on for approximately 5 seconds while your
phone looks for a signal. When your phone
finds a signal, it automatically enters Standby
mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point,
you’re ready to begin making and receiving
calls.
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 returns to Standby mode.
Your phone searches for a signal periodically
without your intervention. You can also initiate
a search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any
key (when your phone is turned ON).
Turning your Phone OFF:
Follow these steps:
1. Press
for approximately two
seconds until you see “Powering off” on
the display.
Your screen remains blank while your phone
is off, unless you’re charging the battery.

are OK.
Using the Battery
Installing the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a Lithium
Ion battery. Follow these steps to install it:
1. Place the battery into the space beneath
the antenna with the metal contacts at the
bottom, facing downward.
2. Gently press down until it’s in place and
the battery release latch snaps.
Removing the Battery
To remove your battery for charging or for
another reason, follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t
lose any stored numbers or messages.
2. Press up on the battery release latch and
hold the battery, then pull it up and out at
a 45-degree angle.
Charging the Battery
Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a
rechargeable battery. You should charge the

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’ll lose everything you were just working
on. (A series of alert tones will sound just
before the phone turns itself off.)
For a quick check of your phone’s battery
level, glance at the battery charge indicator
located on your phone’s (Main or Sub)
display screen.

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
PhoneTM works anywhere on the Sprint PCSNationwide Network and allows
you to roam on analog cellular and digital networks where Sprint PCS has
implemented roaming agreements.
This section explains how roaming works, as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.
SCP-5000(E)/001_102 01.1.18 11:58 Page 33
you’re using your
phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers
using 11 digits
(1 + area code +
number).
Tip:
You will pay a higher
per-minute rate for
roaming calls.
Tip:
When the clamshell is
closed, you will see the
roaming status on the
Sub LCD.
Understanding How Roaming Works
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
cellular or digital mode. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where
you’re using your phone.

If you’re on a call
when you leave the
Sprint PCS Network
and enter an area
where roaming is
available (whether
CDMA or analog
cellular), 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.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA
networks, your call quality will be similar to the
quality you receive when making calls while on
the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, however, all of your
calls are still private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks,
you will experience the same quality provided by
analog cellular carriers today. Although certain
calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web,
may be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls. You will experience a few
differences including:
You are more likely to experience static,
cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard on
the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with
conventional analog cellular services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when
you use your phone for analog cellular
roaming.

invaluable. This is a list of the last 10 phone
numbers for calls you placed, accepted, or

removed from the bottom of the list.
Depending on the operating mode and
available features, each entry may contain a
phone number, name and time stamp of
when the call occurred. Duplicate calls
(same number in last 7 digits and type of
call) may only appear once on the list. When
reviewing your entries, you’ll see the type of
call as described below:
Outgoing: Indicates a call you placed.
Incoming: Indicates a call you received
and answered. When the clamshell is
closed, Sub LCD backlight turns on and
displays caller’s number. If the number is
