1.1 Setting Up Service

Setting up service on your new smart device is quick and easy. This

section walks you through the necessary steps to set up your device's phone, set up your voicemail, establish passwords, and contact Sprint for assistance with your Sprint service.

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your device are automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want to set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your device’s phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1. Access the Phone screen by pressing the Talk Key.

Talk Key

Note:

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail account, Sprint recommends you enable your voicemail pass code.

Sprint Account Passwords

As a Sprint customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your personal account information, your voicemail account, and your Sprint Vision® account. To ensure that no one else has access to your information, you will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

If you are not the account owner (if someone else pays for your Sprint service), you can get a sub-account password at www.sprint.com.

Voicemail Password

You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on page 2 for more information on your voicemail password.

Sprint Vision Password

With your device and Sprint Vision service, you can set up a Sprint Vision password. This optional password may be used to authorize purchase of Premium Services content and to protect personal information on multi-phone accounts.

1.3 Battery Information

Your device comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. Use only manufacturer-speciﬁed original batteries and accessories with your device.

Battery life estimates (approximations):

Standby time: Up to 250 hours. Talk time: Up to 3.5 hours. Media playback time: Up to 8 hours for WMV (video); up to 12

hours for WMA (audio).

Warning: To reduce risk of ﬁre or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery; short external contacts; heat above 60oC (140oF); or dispose of in ﬁre or water. Replace only with manufacturer-speciﬁed batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations.

Viewing and replying to messages

To read an incoming message:

By default, each email received in the inbox on your device contains only the ﬁrst few kilobytes of the message. When you open an email, it displays only the headers and part of the message. You must download the whole email to view the complete content. To download a complete email message, open the email and then do one of the following:



In the message list, select a message then tap Menu >

Download Message.

—or—



Open a message. Scroll down to the end of the message

then tap Get entire message and any attachments (POP3 email account) or tap Get the rest of this

message (IMAP4 and Outlook email accounts).

Notes:

The Fetch Mail feature, which is available for POP3 and IMAP4 Internet email accounts, downloads an entire email without the need for you to perform a full synchronization. This limits the download to just the email message that you want and helps save data cost.

Fetch Mail is also available for Outlook Email.

Download may take some time, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, size of the whole email, and whether ﬁle attachments are automatically downloaded.

To download an attachment:



POP3 email account: File attachments of a POP3

Internet email account are automatically downloaded when you download a complete email message.



IMAP4 and Outlook email accounts: File attachments

appear below the subject of an email message. Tapping an attachment opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the next time you send and receive email.

Section 7: Exchanging Messages 77

To reply to or forward a message:

1. Open the message and tap Menu > Reply, Menu > Reply

All, or Menu > Forward.

2. Enter your response. To quickly add common messages,

tap Menu > My Text and tap a desired message.

4. Tap Send.

Tips:

To see more header information, scroll up.

To always include the original message, from the list view, tap Menu > Tools > Options > Message tab, and select the When replying to e-mail, include body check box.

Bluetooth Partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same Bluetooth passcode on both devices.

Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode on the two devices.

To create a Bluetooth partnership:

1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >

Bluetooth.

2. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device

will search for other Bluetooth devices and display them in the box.

3. Tap a device name in the box.

4. Tap Next.

5. Enter a passcode to establish a secure connection. The

passcode can be from 1 to 16 characters long.

6. Tap Next.

from the paired device.

To accept a Bluetooth partnership:

the device requesting the partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passcode must be from 1 to 16 characters long.

4. Tap Next, and then Finish. You can now exchange

information with the other device.
