Turning Off your Phone in
Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn off your phone when in a blasting area or
in other areas with signs indicating that
two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control
RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you're in any area
that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it's rare, your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an
explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
Tip: Fueling areas such as gas stations
Never transport or Below deck on boats
store flammable gas,
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
liquid or explosives
Areas where the air contains chemicals or
in the compartment

Restricting Children's Access to
your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with it because
they could hurt themselves and others, damage
the phone or make calls that increase your
phone bill.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the
most out of your battery's performance.
Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and
desktop chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using
other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the
battery only in temperatures that range
from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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.
