Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone 

without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. 

Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always 

comes first.

When using your phone in the car:

ⅷ

Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial 
and redial.

ⅷ

When available, use a hands-free device.

ⅷ

Position your phone within easy reach.

ⅷ

Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if 
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather 
conditions.

ⅷ

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Tip:

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint Authorized Personnel 
should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void 
the warranty.
