Congratulations! You have pur-
chased one of the most sophisticated
cordless telephones on the market!
The Sprint cordless phone has been
designed to offer a new standard in
cordless telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones,
the Sprint cordless phone digitizes
yourvoiceusingadvanceddigitalvoice
coding to provide noise and distortion
free performance. In most conditions
youwillnotbeabletotellyouareusing
a cordless phone. Gone are the an-
noyances of static, interference and
having to listen to other people’s con-
versations on your cordless phone.
The Sprint cordless phone
scramblesyourvoicebeforeittransmits
it. This allows you the security of
knowing that no one can tune in and
eavesdrop on your conversations.
TheSprintcordlessphonedecodes
and displays name and number Caller
ID (CID) information where available
and when subscribed to. The alpha-
numeric display will show both the
name and number of the calling party
(when available). Up to 15 name
characters and/or 11 phone number
digits can be displayed on the LCD.
WiththeSprintcordlessphone,the
user can easily answer a call by
pressing any key other than the OFF,
VOLUME keys or 3 PPU keys. In
addition, the handset keypad and LCD
illuminate while the handset rings to
signal an incoming call. This is very
useful in a dark environment.
TheSprintcordlessphone includes
a Speakerphone and keypad on the
INTRODUCTION
Base Unit. This enables you to make
and receive calls hands-free at the
Base. In addtion, the Intercom feature
allows two-way communication
between the Handset and Base Unit.
PressingINTER.COM ontheBasecan
alsoassist youinlocating a misplaced
Handset.
The Sprint cordless phone uses
special memory in both the Base Unit
and Handset which is not susceptible
to power failures. This provides per-
manent storage of all speed dial num-
bers, CID information as well as the
BaseUnitandHandsetsecuritycodes.
Whenthesparebatteryisinstalledin
the Base Unit, the Sprint cordless
phone uses this battery to provide op-
erational backup in case of power
failure. Inthisway,youhaveaccessto
all normal phone functions during a
total power outage. Calls can still be
placed and received without interrup-
tion. More than 4 hours backup will be
possible with a fully charged battery in
the Base Unit.
The phone will also alert you when
youareOutofRangeevenwhenyou're
not using the phone!

The Handset of your Sprint
cordless phone cordlesstelephoneis
powered by a rechargeable battery
pack. It charges automatically when-
ever the Handset is in the Base Unit.
Youshouldchargethebatterypackfor
16 hours when you first receive your
phone. You’ll know the battery pack
needs charging when:
• The low battery message is
displayed:
• The Handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is completely clear

Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance
charging should be sufficient. You can
use your telephone before that with
diminished capacity, but it is best to
chargethebatterypackfully.Itwilltake
several recharge cycles to maximize
the charge capacity of your battery
pack. The maximum battery life be-
tweenchargesis7hoursofcontinuous
talk time or 14 days of stand by.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
Alternatively, if the
spare battery pack has been
charging in the Base Unit, simply ex-
change the drained Handset battery
pack with the fully charged replace-
ment battery pack from the Base Unit
charger. Place the drained Handset
batterypackintotheBaseUnitcharger
so that it will charge.
TheBaseUnitsparebatterycharger

quickly as the main Handset battery
charger. A full charge requires 24
hours.
A WORD ABOUT RECHARGE-
ABLEBATTERIES
Your Ni-Cd battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to
the Base Unit.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER-
CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack can be recharged
manytimes but ifyouget a low-battery
