WARNING

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 the PSAP community are

currently working to resolve this.

Note

If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY

devices connected to the headset jack may be

impaired.

Getting Started With Data Services

With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying

the advantages of data services. This section will help

you learn the basics of using your data services,

including managing your user name, launching a data

connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.

Your User Name

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you’re

automatically assigned a user name, which is typically

based on your name and a number, followed by

“@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John Smith to

[email protected] as his user name.)

When you use data services, your user name is

submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint

Network.

Your user name will be automatically programmed into

your phone. You don’t have to enter it.

Data Connection Status and Indicators

Your phone displays the current status of your data

connection through indicator icons at the top of the

screen. The following symbols are used:

Your phone is on and is connected to the Sprint

3G data network. When the arrows are animated,

data is being transferred (for example, when you

are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive

calls. When the arrows are white, you are

connected to the network but data is not currently

being transferred (for example, when you are

viewing a Web page that is completely open), and

you can receive calls.

If no indicator is displayed, your phone does not have a

current data connection. To launch a connection, see

“Launching a Web Connection” on page 97.

Navigating the Web

Navigating through menus and websites during a data

session is easy once you’ve learned a few basics. Here

shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and

they correspond to the softkeys directly below the

phone’s display screen.

Tip

Depending on which websites you visit, the labels

on the softkeys may change to indicate their

function.

General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone

properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.



To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of

your phone where the internal antenna is located while using

the phone.



Speak directly into the mouthpiece.



Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid

spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power

off and remove the battery.



Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended

periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).



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.



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.

4A. Important Safety

Information

Note

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized

personnel should service your phone and accessories.

Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your

warranty.

4A: Important Safety Information 115

Maintaining Safe Use of and

Access to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should

never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential

communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls

may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain

network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check

with your local service provider for details.

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.

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.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio

frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless

phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic operating systems 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.

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.

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.

Note

Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and

request permission before using the phone near

medical equipment.

Tip

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your

local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509.

116 4A: Important Safety Information

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. 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:



Fueling areas such as gas stations.



Below deck on boats.



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.

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 invoice.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid

device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with

certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear

implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the

effectiveness of the hearing device.

Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this

interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of

interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19

was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring

both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability

rating categories for both.

Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist

hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with

their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for

compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated

have a label located on the box.

Your LG LX290 has an M4

and a T4 rating

Note

Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable

liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your

vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

LX290_Eng(1.0)_0601:Sprint_UG_8a 09. 06. 01 11:10 Page 116

4A: Important Safety Information 117

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending

on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of

hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to

interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still

cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to

evaluate it for your personal needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for

hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and

are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T

Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices

have telecoils in them.)

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to

interference noise from wireless phones and should have

ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare

professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of

your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable

usability:



Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.



Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.



Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will

have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.”This is

synonymous for T ratings.

Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones

(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to

find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should

you experience interference or find the quality of service

unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to

the store within 30 days of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day

Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the phone within 30 days

of purchase for a full refund. More information about hearing aid

compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov

, www.fda.gov, and

www.accesswireless.org

Getting the Best Hearing Device

Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:



Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to

ensure the minimum time interval:

1. Press > Settings&Tools > Settings > Display >

Main Screen > Backlight, o r > Settings&Tools >

Settings > Display > Keypad Light.

2. Select the minimum time interval setting and press .

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Batter y

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your

battery’s performance.



Recently there have been some public reports of wireless

phone batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. It

appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve

counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with

unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is

not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting

from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by

Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-

approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and

accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s

manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also

available at www.sprint.com

— click Accessories. Buying

the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure

they’re genuine and safe.



In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in

temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).



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.



Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can

be burned.

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your

nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In

some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business

trash may be prohibited.

4A: Important Safety Information 119

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s

turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.

When you use your phone, the system handling your call

controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to

0.2 watt in digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your 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).

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. If

you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at

least 25/32 inch (2 centimeters) from your body when

transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may

violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at

www.fcc.gov

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

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.

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.

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
