Use the Touchscreen

Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.

When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items onscreen, such as application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons by simply tapping or touching them with your finger.

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.

Drag
To drag, touch and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quick strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Note: The Auto-rotate switch needs to be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change. Tap
> Tools > Settings > Display tab > Auto-rotate screen.
Tip: You can also access the screen rotation setting from the Notifications Window. Drag the status bar down and tap Rotation to select or deselect the option.

“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.)

Activate Your Phone

Follow the instructions below to activate your phone if it has not already been activated. Depending on your account or how and where you purchased your phone, it may be ready to use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.
● If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
● If you received your phone 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 phone on for the first time, you should see a Hands Free Activation
screen, which may be followed by a PRL Update screen and a Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing number on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer online or directly on your phone.
Activate on your computer:
• Go to sprint.com/activate and complete the online instructions to activate your phone.
Activate on your phone:
• Turn on your new phone. (Make sure the old one is turned off.) Your phone will automatically attempt Hands-Free Activation.
• Tap Activate to override auto-activation and start the manual activation wizard.
• Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the activation process.
To confirm activation, make a phone call. If your phone is still not activated, visit sprint.com/support for assistance. If you do not have access to the Internet, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 from another phone.
Tip: Do not press the Power/Lock key while the phone is being activated. Pressing the Power/Lock key cancels the activation process.
Note: If you are having any difficulty with activation, visit sprint.com/support.

Complete the Setup Screens

The setup screens help you set up certain features and preferences on your phone. Once your phone has been turned on, you will see an Accessibility message. You can then complete the setup process.
Note: You may be able to complete the setup screens before your phone has been activated on your account.
1. On the configuration screen, touch NEXT to get started.
