About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless devices. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately
30 feet.

Turning Bluetooth On and Off

By default, your device’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. Turning Bluetooth on activates the internal Bluetooth antenna.

Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available usage times. It is recommended that if you do not need it active, turn it off.

It is also recommended to turn off your Bluetooth within locations that prohibit its use.

To turn Bluetooth on:

1. Press > and tap > Wireless & networks.
2. Tap the Bluetooth field to activate the feature
(checkmark indicates active). When active, appears within the Status area.

To turn Bluetooth off:

� Press > and tap > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth.

• Tap to remove the green checkmark and deactivate Bluetooth.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Scan devices to search for visible external Bluetooth-compatible devices such as Headsets, devices, printers, and computers.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

Paired Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your device and another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap Discoverable.
Your device must be visible to successfully pair with an external device.
3. Tap Scan devices. (Your device will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth devices, page 77.)

4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.

5. Enter the passkey or PIN code and tap Done > OK.

6. The external device will then have to also accept the connection and enter your device’s PIN code.

78 1H. Bluetooth

• Once successfully paired to an external device, appears within the Status area.

Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth- compatible devices.

Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a passcode again.

To disconnect a paired device:

Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your Samsung Intercept™, but retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup the connection information again.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch the previously paired device (from the bottom of the page).

3. Tap OK to confirm disconnection.
– or –

From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold the name of the previously paired device, and select Disconnect.

Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the paired device goes out of range of your Samsung Intercept™ or it is powered off.

To delete a paired device (unpair):

Deleting a device from your list removes its “connection record” and upon reconnection would require that you re-enter all the previous pairing information.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.

2. From the Bluetooth settings page, touch and hold the name of the previously paired device (from the bottom of the page). This opens the connected device’s menu options.

3. Tap Disconnect & unpair to confirm deletion.

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 device.

Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your device is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the device some time to process your data usage request.

Your User Name

When you buy your device 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 sign up for Sprint data services might have [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 is automatically programmed into your device. You don’t have to enter it.

Data Connection Status and Indicators

Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:

Your device is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO). When the arrows are animated, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the triangles are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.

98 2B. Web and Data Services

Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint
1xRTT data network. When the arrows are animated, your device is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Web Connection” on page 98.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

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

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.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2 on your phone.

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.

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.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

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.

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.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

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.

Please Note the Following Information When Using Your
Handset

1. WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY

• The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked as this could cause injury to you.

2. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH SCREEN HANDSET

• If your handset has a touchscreen display, please note that a touchscreen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touchscreen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, please refer to the “3B. Manufacturer’s Warranty” on page 130.

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.

124 3A. Important Safety Information

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 SPH-M910 has an M4 and T3 rating.

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.)

Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing

aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies (including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.

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:

e Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.

e Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. e 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. (A restocking

To further minimize interference:

e Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time intervals.

1. Press > and touch Settings > Sound &

display > Brightness, or Screen timeout.

2. Touch the minimum time interval setting.

e Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.

e Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

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

battery’s performance.

e 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.

e In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

e Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

e Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

e Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

e Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

e The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.

e 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.

e Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
