WARNING 911 Emergency Calling Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this. Updating Phone Software The update phone software option allows you to download and update the software in your phone automatically. Only the internal software is updated; no contact entries or other information saved to your phone will be deleted. To update your phone: 1. Press Menu > Settings > Others > Update Phone SW from standby mode. 2. Follow the onscreen instructions. 68 Section 2B: Controlling Your Phone's Settings
