NOTICE:
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog
cellular, and land line 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 PSAP community are
currently working to resolve this.

Understanding Roaming
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new Sprint PCS
Vision Multimedia Phone MM-A800 by Samsung works
anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and
allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital
networks where we've implemented roaming agreements
with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.
88 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Any time
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features,
such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11
digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you
will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is
available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an
area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 89
Roaming
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of
new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for
new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an
extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.
90 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

4. Select Set Mode ( ).
5. To select an option, highlight it and press .
䡲Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
䡲Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic)
is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
䡲Sprint allows you to access the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents
roaming on other networks.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 91
Roaming
Controlling Roaming Charges Using
Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network: the on-
screen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it
easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra
step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This
additional step is not required when you make or receive
calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings ( ).
3. Select Roaming ( ).

New Features
Your MM-A800’s voice recognition feature lets you perform
many of your phone's functions using just your voice. If
you have used VoiceSignal voice recognition on previous
Sprint PCS Phones, please review the following list of
enhancements.
䢇Natural one-step commands - Instead of a series of
commands, you can now issue single voice commands
to accomplish a variety of complex tasks.
For example:
䡲“Call John Mobile”: Dials the mobile number
stored for the contact entry “John.”
䡲“Call Maria Work”: Dials the work number stored
for the contact entry Maria.
䡲“Call 555-555-5555”: Dials the specified number.
䢇One-step voice access to text messaging - The “Send
Text” command lets you use a single voice command to
launch the phone's text messaging client and specify a
recipient.
For example:
䡲“Send Text to John”: Opens the text message
client and addresses the message to the mobile
number of the contact entry “John”.
䢇One-step access to applications and menus - You can
access applications and common menus by saying “Go
To” followed by the application or menu name.
For example:
Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services 155
Voice Services
䡲“Go To Calendar”: Launches the “Calendar”
application.
䡲“Go To Downloads”: Displays the “Downloads”
menu.
䢇Voice commands for checking phone status - With a
single command, you can have the phone play back
and display its phone number, the current signal
strength, network coverage, battery level, or all of the
above.
For example:
䡲“Check Battery”: Instructs the phone to report its
current battery strength.
䡲“Check Status”: Instructs the phone to report all
status information.

Calling Nicknames
Your Contact List incorporates a field called “Nickname.”
When you add a nickname to a contact, you can say the
contact's name or nickname when using the voice features.
For example, if you have a contact, “John Smith” stored in
your contact list, and you add, “Dad” to the nickname field,
you can call that contact by saying, “Call John Smith” or by
saying “Call Dad.”
Calling Phone Numbers (Digit Dialing)
To voice dial a number that is not stored in your contact list:
䊳Say “Call” 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.”
Adapting Digit Dial
Digit Dialing is speaker independent, which means that no
training or adaptation is required. Some users with heavy
accents or unusual voice characteristics may find difficulty
in achieving high accuracy with speaker independent Digit
Dialing, so the Adapt Digits feature allows users to
dramatically improve the digit accuracy through
adaptation. Users who get acceptable digit recognition
Tip: If your contact list contains a name that you have difficulty
using with the voice features (such as some unusual or
foreign names), you can add a nickname for that contact
that spells out the proper pronunciation of that name.
160 Section 2I: Using Your Phone’s Voice Services
accuracy will find no additional benefit to performing the
Adapt Digit adaptation.
After you adapt Digit Dial, your phone will be customized
to your voice. Other people will not be able to use Digit
Dial on your phone unless they reset the phone to factory
defaults.
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to
teach the system your voice. The adaptation process takes
about 3 minutes.
Tips for adapting Digit Dial:
䢇Adapt digits in a quiet place.
䢇Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to
speak.
䢇Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
䢇If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of
digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the
recording, you can say or select No when the prompt
asks, “Did the recording sound OK?” You will then be
prompted to re-record the sequence.
To adapt Digit Dial to your voice:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings ( ).
3. Select Voice Service ( ).
4. Select Digit Dialing ( ).
Note: ONLY adapt Digit Dial if the system is frequently mis-
recognizing your speech. You can always restore the
system to its original factory setting.

5. Select Adapt Digits ( ) and press to begin. (The
phone displays the first digit sequence.)
6. Wait for the beep, and then repeat the digits using a
normal tone of voice. (The phone plays back your
recording and asks you if the recording sounds “OK.”)
7. If the recording sounds OK (no mistakes and no
background noises), say Yes.
8. If you need to re-record the digits to fix any problems,
say No. (The phone then prompts you to say the digits
again.)
9. Wait for the beep, and then record the digits again.
(Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the
recording.)
10. After confirming that the recording sounds OK,
repeat the recording process with the next set of
digits. (After six sets of digits, the phone will ask you
whether you want to do more adaptation. Answer
Yes.)
11. Repeat steps 6-9 for another six sets of digits. (After
the sixth set of digits, you will be half-way through
the session and the phone will ask “More
Adaptation?”)
12. Select OK to continue for six more sets of digits, or
press for partial adaptation. When you are
finished with a full session, you will reach a screen
that reads, “Adaptation Complete.”

Multimedia FAQs
1. How does my phone's Multimedia Service differ from
Sprint PCS Video Mail?
Multimedia 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. How am I charged for Multimedia Service?
It depends on whether you sign up for a Sprint PCS
Vision Plan. Please see the following options below:
A. Sprint PCS Vision Plan:
⽧With any Sprint PCS Vision Plan (other than the
SprintTV Vision Plan), you can play an
unlimited number of video/audio clips on your
phone's display as long as you've subscribed to
a channel (see next bullet). You also receive
access to the Previews channel as a courtesy
from Sprint. It doesn't cost you anything to play
the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly
fee for any channel subscriptions (see the
following bullet).
Note: The first time you access one of your Available Channels,
you will be prompted to accept the corresponding monthly
fee (unless it’s a channel that doesn’t have an associated
monthly fee). Accepting the charge gives you access to the
channel for as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee.
If you accept the fee, the next time you access your
phone’s media player, this channel will appear in the My
Channels section of your Channel Listings.
214 Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player
⽧In addition to complimentary access to the
Previews channel, you can subscribe to any of
the channels listed in the Available Channels
section of your Channel Listings for an
additional monthly fee. Clips within these
channels will continue to be available to you as
long as you continue to pay your monthly
channel subscription fee.
B. SprintTV Vision Plan:
⽧With this specific plan, you can play an
unlimited number of video/audio clips on your
phone's display and, in addition to the Previews
channel, this plan includes the SprintTV
Channel, giving you a comprehensive selection
of audio/video clips from a variety of brands
you know. It doesn't cost you anything to play
the clips, but you will need to pay a monthly
fee for any additional channels to which you
subscribe (see the following bullet).
⽧For a monthly subscription fee, you can
purchase access to a variety of other channels
located in the Available Channels section of
your Channel Listings. Clips within these
channels will continue to be available to you as
long as you continue to pay your monthly
channel subscription fee.
C. Any plan other than a Sprint PCS Vision Plan:
⽧If you do not sign up for a Sprint PCS Vision
Plan (of any kind), your Sprint PCS Multimedia
Phone still has the capability of playing audio or
video clips, but you WILL be charged a fee for
playing them (this includes any of the clips in
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player 215
Media Player
the Previews channel). The charge for playing
the clip is based the clip's size and scope, and
will vary depending on the clip.
⽧You will be charged a monthly subscription fee
for any of the Available Channels you acquire
access to (with the exception of the Previews
channel, which is included as a courtesy from
Sprint). If you purchase access to an Available
Channel, clips within the channel will continue
to be available to you as long as you continue to
pay your monthly channel subscription fee.
3. 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. If the caller leaves a voicemail,
the voicemail icon will appear on the screen.
4. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it
will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a
listing of the available clips, with the clip's length
appearing after the clip's title. In general, a clip's
duration will depend on the story or content being
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a few
minutes.
5. Can I access a multimedia clip wherever I am, as long as I
have my phone?
As long as you are on the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network, you will have access to the audio and video
clips.
216 Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player
6. Are the videos that I'm viewing “live” videos?
Not yet. This service currently provides media on
demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed
throughout the day, but that are not “live.” A menu of
live media streams should become available in 2005.
7. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a
monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I
know it has been purchased?
The next time you access your media player's
Channel Listings, the purchased channel title and
corresponding number will appear in the My
Channels section.
8. Why are some channels already pre-loaded into the My
Channels section?
Some channels, such as Previews, are offered free of
charge as a customer courtesy. These channels
automatically appear in the My Channels section of
your Channel Listings.
9. If I don't subscribe to Sprint PCS Vision Plan, am I still able
to view the multimedia clips?
Yes; for service access charges, please see option “C”
in question 2 above.
10. How can I easily access a channel without having to scroll
through all the channels in my Channel Listings?
Each channel will have a number to the left of it. You
can simply press this number to quickly access the
clips located within that channel.
Note: Multimedia Service does not work while roaming off of the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network or where service is
unavailable.
Section 2M: Using Your Phone’s Built-in Media Player 217
Media Player
11. 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.
12. How can I cancel service if I decide I don't want it?
To cancel your Multimedia Service, visit
www.sprintpcs.com and sign on to My PCS with your
account number and password. From this page you
have the ability to cancel the service and/or any
Available Channels to which you subscribe.
13. If I place my stereo headphones on and insert them into the
phone's headset jack, can I slide the phone closed while I
am playing an audio (or video) clip without interrupting the
clip?
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the
phone's headset jack, the phone automatically goes
into “headset mode,” allowing you to slide the phone
closed and continue playing the clip (likewise, if your
phone is in “headset mode,” a phone call will not
become disconnected by sliding the phone closed).
Tip: When entering the specific channel number, channels 01 -
09 do not require you to enter a “0.” For example, to access
channel “07,” just press the “7” key.
