Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and
enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), you call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available,
turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This
behavior is normal for analog operation.
