Multimedia FAQs 1. How does my phone’s SprintTV Service differ from Sprint PCS Video Mail? Sprint TV Service lets you access high-quality video and audio clips provided by external sources. Video Mail lets you capture, upload and share videos that you personally create with your phone’s built-in camcorder. 2. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m viewing or listening to an audio clip? No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you are playing a clip.
5. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live”videos? It depends on the content provider. Some of the channels available through Sprint TV stream live content. Others provide media on demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day, but that are not “live.” 6.
10. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the word “loading”at the bottom of the screen? This happens when the media player is in the process of loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when there is heavy traffic on the network. 11. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it? To cancel your Multimedia Service, visit www.sprint.com and sign on to My PCS with your account number and password.

Section 4 Safety and Warranty Information
Section 4A Important Safety Information In This Section General Precautions (page 249) Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone (page 249) Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device (page 252) Caring for the Battery (page 253) Radiofrequency (RF) Energy (page 254) Owner’s Record (page 257) Phone Guide Proprietary Notice (page 257) This phone guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully extended, and over your shoulder. Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna. Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged. Speak directly into the mouthpiece. Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.
Using Your Phone While Driving 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. Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call the Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing on your phone.
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. 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.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your SCP-8400 by Sanyo One way to minimize interference is to set the phone's Display and Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval. To ensure the minimum interference for your Main Display’s or Sub Display’s backlight, follow these steps: > Settings > Display > Backlight. Select 2. Select Main LCD or Sub LCD. 3. Scroll and select the minimum time interval setting (8 seconds for Main LCD, 5 seconds for Sub LCD).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom. Never dispose of the battery by incineration. Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean. Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery. The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
