Troubleshooting
Maximizing Call Quality
For optimum call quality with your Sprint PCS Phone
TM
,
please follow these guidelines:
• Fully extend the antenna. While it may be possible to
place calls with the antenna retracted, the phone
operates best with the antenna fully extended.
• Hold the phone as you would hold any other telephone
handset. Speak directly into the mouthpiece, and
position the antenna up and over your shoulder while
talking.
• Do not hold the antenna while using the phone, as this
may affect call quality.
Caring for the Antenna
For proper care of the antenna, please follow these
guidelines:
• Replace a damaged antenna immediately. A broken
antenna may degrade call quality. For repairs in the U.S.,
call toll-free 1-888-987-HELP (4357).
• Use only the antenna attached to your Sprint PCS Phone.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments
could cause damage to the phone and may violate
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.
