Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

e Reduce your backlight on time. (See “Changing the

Backlight Time Length” on page 63.)

e Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning

Bluetooth On and Off” on page 127.)

e Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi

On and Off” on page 160.)

e Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery. (See “Activating Location Mode” on page 185.)

e When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to. (See “Camera Settings” on page 119.)

e Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

Your device and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

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 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.

• Voice Dialing (page 107)

• Opening Menus With Voice Dialer (page 109)

• Text-to-Speech (page 109)

• Voice Search (page 110)

Important: The Voice Control (Speech to Action) feature will not launch if you are currently in an active menu.

Voice Dialing

You can use your device’s built-in automatic speech recognition (ASR) software, called Voice Dialer, to dial a phone number in your Contacts or to launch phone functions. All you have to do is to talk into the phone, and ASR will recognize your voice and complete tasks by itself.

Activating Voice Dialer

� Press and tap > (Voice Dialer). The screen displays
“Listening” and the phone
prompts you to say the name of the command you want to use. To complete your task, simply follow the voice prompts or tap an onscreen option.
Available ASR commands include:

e Call <Name> to call an entry in your Contacts list. (See “Calling a Contact With Voice Dialer” on page 108.)

e Dial <#> to call a spoken phone number.

e Redial to redial the last number called.

2G. Voice Services 107

e Open <Menu> to jump directly to menu items or applications. (See “Opening Menus With Voice Dialer” on page 109.)

Tip: Use Voice Dialer in a quiet environment so it can accurately recognize your commands.

Calling a Contact With Voice Dialer

1. Press and tap > (Voice Dialer).
2. When you see “Listening,” say “Call” followed by the name and the label for the contact you wish to call. For example, say “Call John Smith Mobile.” The device dials the number stored for the contact “John Smith” with the label “Mobile.”

• If the location is not recognized or the name does not have a phone number stored in Contacts, you will see an onscreen list of possible options.

• If a name has only a single number, or if you know the name but are not sure which number to call, say “Call” followed by the name only. For example, say “Call John.”

● If the name is recognized and there is only one phone number for the name, your device immediately places the call.

● If there are multiple numbers, you will see a list; tap a number to place the call.

Calling a Phone Number With Voice Dialer

1. Press and tap > (Voice Dialer).
2. When you see “Listening,” say “Dial” followed immediately by a valid string of digits to be dialed, for example, say “Call 555 555 5555.”
Speak naturally and clearly and remember to speak one digit at a time—1-800 should be pronounced “One Eight Zero Zero.”
