Your Device at a Glance

Set Up Your Device

You must first install and charge the battery to begin setting up your device.

cover and lift the cover off gently (Figure 1).
Insert the battery, contacts end first, and gently press into place (Figure 2).

Plug the other end of the USB cable into the charger, and then plug the charger into
an electrical outlet.
Note: Your device’s battery should have enough charge for the device to turn on and find a
signal, run the setup application, set up voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.
3. Press and hold the Power button to turn your device on. If your device is activated, it will turn on, search for Sprint service, and begin the
setup application.
If your device is not yet activated, see Activate Your Device for more information.

Activate Your Device

Depending on your account or how and where you purchased your device, it may be ready to use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.
If you purchased your device at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
If you received your device in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of
service, it is designed to activate automatically.
When you turn the device on for the first time, you should see a Hands Free
Activation screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
If you received your device in the mail and you are activating a new device for an existing number on your account (you’re swapping devices), you can activate on your computer online or directly on your device.

have access to the Internet, contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 for assistance.
Tip: Do not press the Power button while the device is being activated. Pressing the Power

Touchscreen Navigation

Touch Touch and Hold Drag Slide or Flick Pinch and Spread Rotate

Touch

Touch once with your finger to select or launch a menu, option, or application. A light touch works best.

Touch and Hold

To open the available options for an item (for example, a link in a Web page), simply touch and hold the item.

Drag

Touch and hold your finger before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Slide or Flick

To slide, quickly move your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. To flick, move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than sliding. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as when scrolling through contacts or a message list.

Pinch and Spread

Pinch the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out or spread the screen to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and outward to zoom in.)

Rotate

For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the device sideways.
Note: The Auto-rotate check box in Home > Menu > Settings > Display needs to be
selected for the screen orientation to automatically change.
