This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
Sprint Direct Connect 51 Sprint Direct Connect Sprint® Direct Connect® on your Sprint phone offers instant, two-way “walkie-talkie-style” communication between you and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button. Perfect for get-in get-out conversations such as checking status, getting information, getting directions, or coordinating with others—fast. Call Alert sends an alert to other Direct Connect users to let them know you want to reach them. About Sprint Direct Connect Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call Your Direct Connect Number Make and Answer Direct Connect Calls Call Alerts Group Connect TeamDC Invites Direct Connect Settings About Sprint Direct Connect Learn the services available with Sprint Direct Connect. The following Sprint Direct Connect services are available: ● Direct Connect® - Allows two-way radio communication with other Direct Connect users. ● Group Connect® - Creates and manages groups in Contacts, “on the fly,” or online to connect instantly with up to 20 other Direct Connect users at the same time. (Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel or PowerSource phones.) ● TeamDCSM and Opt-In TeamDC - Create a group online that allows nationwide group calling with up to 200 other Direct Connect users (with Sprint phones only).

Sprint Direct Connect 52 Before Making Your First Direct Connect Call To enable Direct Connect on your phone, a Sprint Customer Service representative must add Direct Connect services to your account. Please call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 for more information. Important: When the Direct Connect feature is active, your phone’s data services are enabled. Your Direct Connect Number Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number. Your Direct Connect number will be one of the following: ● Separate number (DC Only) - Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111). ● A single number - Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234). Dial Direct Connect Numbers Save a Direct Connect Number Display Your Direct Connect Number Dial Direct Connect Numbers Understand the types of Direct Connect numbers for making Direct Connect calls. ● If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving the number in your Contacts, choose DC Only for the phone type. ● If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that ten-digit phone number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this number in your Contacts, choose other than DC Only for the phone type. Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234). Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have your correct number is to call them so that they can save your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their contact information. Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call.

Web and Data 123 Web and Data Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, Sprint 4G, Data Services (Sprint 3G Network), and Virtual Private Networks (VPN). The following topics address your phone’s data connections and the built-in Web browser. Additional data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and Entertainment, and Tools and Calendar. Wi-Fi Sprint Connections Optimizer Sprint 4G Data Services (Sprint 3G and 4G Networks) Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Browser Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Wi-Fi Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.” The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes. Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network Check the Wireless Network Status Connect to a Different Wi-Fi Network Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect to an available Wi-Fi network. 1.

Sprint Connections Optimizer The Sprint Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for your phone, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. The Sprint Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding and connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and use data at the same time. The Sprint Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Sprint Connections Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the Sprint network. Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the antennas off during the scan period. To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your battery levels, Wi-Fi and Sprint Network connections and usage. No personal information is collected. Enable Sprint Connections Optimizer 1. Touch Home > Menu > System settings > More… > Mobile networks > Connections Optimizer. You will see a disclaimer. 2.
