Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs 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; you can also check it yourself 
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a 
message is displayed 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 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.
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).
