Frequently Asked Questions - RL2000 SANYO

How do I change the batteries in the Sanyo RL2000?
Open the battery compartment on the back. Insert 4 D-type batteries following the polarity markings (+/-). Use alkaline batteries for best performance. When not in use, disconnect AC power to avoid battery drain.
Why is the radio not picking up any stations?
Check if the antenna is fully extended for FM/SW or oriented correctly for AM. Ensure the band selector is set to the desired band. Adjust the fine tuning knob for clearer reception. If using AC power, verify the cord is connected.
Can I use headphones with the RL2000?
Yes, plug headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the side. The internal speaker will be muted automatically. Use headphones with an impedance of 32 ohms or higher.
What type of antenna does the RL2000 have?
It has a telescopic antenna for FM and shortwave bands, and a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM. For better SW reception, you can connect an external long-wire antenna to the terminal on the back.
How do I clean the radio?
Disconnect the power. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. Do not use chemical cleaners, abrasives, or allow moisture into openings. Dry thoroughly before reconnecting.
Is the RL2000 suitable for shortwave listening?
Yes, it covers shortwave bands SW1 (2.3-7.0 MHz) and SW2 (7.0-22.0 MHz). Extend the telescopic antenna fully and use the fine tuning for best reception. For weak signals, try an external antenna.
Why is the sound distorted or weak?
Check the volume and tone controls. Reduce the volume if distortion occurs. Ensure the batteries are fresh or the AC power is stable. Try a different station. If the speaker is damaged, service is required.
Can the radio be powered by USB?
No, the RL2000 is designed for AC mains (120V) or 6V DC from D batteries. USB power is not supported. Using an adapter may damage the radio.
How do I replace the fuse?
The internal fuse is located near the AC power inlet. Unplug the radio, open the fuse holder, and replace with a 0.5A 250V fuse of the same size. If it blows again, have the radio inspected by a technician.
Where can I find a user manual?
You can download the manual for free from notice-facile.com in PDF. Search for 'Sanyo RL2000' and select the English version. The manual contains detailed operating instructions and specifications.

Turning Your Phone On and Off

Turning Your Phone On

■ Press 📄 approximately two seconds to turn your phone on.

Note: When you turn on your phone for the first time, you will be asked to activate PCS Ready Link service. Press OK (left softkey) to use PCS Ready Link service.

Once your phone is On, it displays “Looking for service...” which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned On).

Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you are in an area where there is no signal.

Turning Your Phone Off

■ Press 📋 two seconds until you see the powering down animation on the display screen.

Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).

Using Your Phone's Battery

Battery Capacity

Your PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Lilon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 4.5 hours of continuous digital talk time (2.5 hours in analog) or approximately 140 hours of continuous digital standby time (23 hours in analog).

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately five minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, PCS Ready Link mode, and browser use affect the battery's talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

Your PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:

  1. Place the battery into the space beneath the antenna with the metal contacts at the bottom, facing downward.

  2. Gently press down until it's in place and the battery release latch snaps.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery, follow these easy steps:

  1. Make sure the power is off so that you don't lose any stored numbers or messages.

  2. Push the battery release latch up and hold the battery.

  3. Pull the battery up and out at a 45-degree angle.

text_image Diagram of a mobile phone casing with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or positioning.

Charging the Battery

Your PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone's battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone's display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Charger

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

  1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
  2. Plug the other end into the travel charger into the bottom of your phone (with the battery installed).

- Charging when your phone is turned on:

The battery icon appears on the display while charging. The battery icon turns to when charging is complete.

• Charging when your phone is turned off:

The battery icon appears, and the message “BATTERY CHARGING-Power Off-” is shown on the display while charging. When the battery is completely discharged, you may wait for several minutes until the message is shown on the display. The battery icon turns to and the message changes to “CHARGING COMPLETE-Power Off-” when charging is complete.

It takes approximately 3.5 hours to fully recharge a completely rundown battery. With the Sprint-approved LiIon battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Displaying Your Phone Number

Just in case you forget your phone number, your PCS Phone can remind you.

To display your phone number (it is the same as PCS Ready Link number):

  1. Press to access the main menu.
  2. Highlight Phone Book or Phone Info, and press Menu OK.
  3. Highlight My Phone# and press Menu OK.

Note: To access the phone's main menu, presen standby mode.

Menu items may be selected by highlighting them with the Navigation key and pressing Menu OK

Making and Answering Voice Calls

Making Voice Calls

Your PCS Phone offers many different ways to make calls, including PCS Voice Command ^4 (page 166), Speed Dialing (page 24), and using Call History (page 72).

TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 7 then provide 108K state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you'll see depending on where you're using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

Other/Analog Networks

SANYO RL2000 - Roaming Indicator - 1

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you're roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.

Note: PCS Ready Link service is not available in roaming areas.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

▶ You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.
▶ Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision, PCS Ready Link, and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter your passcode at the prompt.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
▶ Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you're on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Setting Your Phone's Roam Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

  6. Sprint. This setting allows you to access the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

  7. Automatic. This setting seeks PCS Service. When PCS Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.
  8. Analog. This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

In addition to the roaming icon, Call Guard alerts you when roaming charges apply. This feature makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by reminding you when you make or receive roaming calls. It also requires you to take an additional step before placing or answering a roaming call. This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

  2. Highlight Settings and press ☐Menu OK.

PCS Vision FAQs

PCS Vision™ brings you clarity you can see and hear with advanced multimedia services. These features, including PCS Mail and PCS Short Mail, chat, games, downloadable ringers and screen savers, Web access, and PCS Business Connection™, are easy to learn and use and the rich, colorful graphic experience is visually comparable to your home or office computer. Clearly, it's a whole new way to look at wireless.

Getting Started With PCS Vision

With your PCS Vision Phone and PCS Service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of PCS Vision. This section will help you learn the basics of using your PCS Vision services, including managing your User Name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your PCS Vision Phone.

Your User Name

When you buy a PCS Vision Phone and sign up for service, you're automatically assigned a PCS Vision User Name. When you use PCS Vision services, your User Name is submitted to identify you to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The User Name is also useful as an address for PCS Mail, as a way to personalize Web services, and as an online virtual identity.

A User Name is typically based on the customer's name and a number, followed by "@sprintpcs.com." For example, the third John Smith to sign up for PCS Vision services might havjsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his User Name. If you want a particular User Name, you can visit www.sprintpcs.com and get the name you want - as long as nobody else has it.

Note: If you already have a PCS Mail User Name, that will automatically become your PCS Vision User Name.

Your User Name will be automatically programmed into your PCS Phone. You don't have to enter it.

Finding Your User Name

If you aren't sure what your PCS Vision User Name is, you can easily find it online or on your PCS Phone:

At www.sprintpcs.com. Sign on to your account using your PCS Phone Number and password. Your User Name appears in the top banner, next to your phone number.
On your PCS Phone. When you are signed in, your User Name should appear on your phone's display screen in standby mode. You can also find it under the Phone Info option in your phone's main menu.

Part of getting the most out of your PCS Phone is learning how the phone works and how to care for it. This section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone's operation.

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.01 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.

Knowing Radiofrequency Safety

The design of your PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

▶ Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone's antenna.
- Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
▶ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
- Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it’s inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer Solutions for service.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE

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:

▶ Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
▶ When available, use a hands-free device.
▶ Position your phone within easy reach.
▶ Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
▶ Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

▶ Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
▶ Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
▶ Dial to report serious emergencies. It's free from your wireless phone.
▶ Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
▶ Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store. You may also call the PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing on your PCS phone.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn off your phone when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

▶ Fueling areas such as gas stations.
▶ Below deck on boats.
▶ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
▶ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.

Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children's Access to your Phone

Your PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery's performance.

▶ Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32^ F to 113^ F ( 0^ C to 45^ C).
- Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
▶ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
▶ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
- Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
It's best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
- Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month: 4^ F to 140^ F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month: 4^ F to 113^ F (-20° C to 45^ C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Lilon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint-authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.

Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.

Cautions

Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Body-Worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the belt-clip (Model: SCP-03HR/US), which provides 2.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 cm from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC Website at www.fcc.gov.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the SCP-7200 (RL2000) are:

AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.41 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.458 W/kg PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.42 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.22 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines. FCC ID number: AEZSCP-72H. More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCC Website http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.

Owner's Record
