Get Started

The following topics give you all the information you need to set up your phone and Sprint service the first time.

Your Phone at a Glance

The following illustration outlines your phone’s primary features.

Set Up Your Phone

You must first install and charge the battery to begin setting up your phone.
1. Install the battery. Using the slot on the upper left side of the battery cover, gently lift the cover off the
phone.
Get Started 1
Insert the battery, aligning the gold contacts on the battery with the gold contacts on
the phone, and gently press the battery into place.
Replace the battery compartment cover, making sure all the tabs are secure and
there are no gaps around the cover.
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB Charger/Accessory port on the bottom of the phone.
3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charging Head, and then plug the Charging Head into an electrical outlet to charge your battery.
Note: Your phone supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and includes a USB 3.0 cable for higher data transfer speeds when connected to another USB 3.0 device. You can also use USB 2.0 cables (not included) to charge and connect your phone.
4. Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn the phone on.
Get Started 2
If your phone is activated, it will turn on, search for Sprint service, and begin the
setup application.
If your phone is not yet activated, see Activate Your Phone for more information.

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 software updates. 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.
• 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.
Tip: Do not press the Power/Lock Key while the phone is being activated. Pressing the Power/Lock Key cancels the activation process.

Complete the Setup Process

After you turn on your phone and activate it, your phone displays a Welcome screen, and begins preparing for first-time use.

your phone’s features if you are visually impaired or hard of hearing.
Wi-Fi: By default, your phone prompts you to use Wi-Fi when accessing data
services. Tap a Wi-Fi access point to connect to it, or you can continue setup using your phone’s connection to the wireless network.
Samsung account: Some apps and features use your Samsung account. Sign in to
your Samsung account, or follow the prompts to create a new account.
Got Google?: Your phone uses your Google account to provide access to many
features and apps. Complete the steps to sign in to your current Google account, or sign up for a new Google account right from your phone. You can also skip signing in to your Google account, or sign in later.
Google services: Select Google service preferences, including Backup, Location
and Communication options.
This phone belongs to: Enter your First and Last name, to personalize Google
features and apps.
Dropbox: Dropbox provides Web-based “cloud” storage, so you can save your
photos and videos. You can create a new account here, or sign in to your existing Dropbox account.
Device name: Your device name is how you and other devices identify your phone,
such as when sharing via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct. If you want to use a different name, tap the field and enter a name.
2. Tap Finish to complete setup. You may see a series of informational or update screens. Follow the prompts to
continue.
Note: During or after setup, you may see a Sprint Connections Optimizer notice. Read the notice and then touch I Agree to allow your phone to connect automatically to the best available data network, including Wi-Fi. To turn Connections Optimizer off at any time, touch > Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer and uncheck the box. See Mobile Networks for details.

Phone Basics

Your phone is packed with features that simplify your life and expand your ability to stay connected to the people and information that are important to you. The following topics will introduce the basic functions and features of your phone.

Your Phone’s Layout

This illustration outlines your phone’s basic features.
● LED indicator glows or blinks in different colors to show status when the screen is
turned off. The LED glows red when charging, and blinks red when the battery is low; blinks blue when a notification has arrived, or when you are recording voice; and glows green when the battery is fully charged and the phone is attached to a charger.
● Earpiece lets you hear the caller and automated prompts during calls.
● Proximity and Light Sensors detect the presence of objects near the phone, such as
when using air gesture or motion settings. For example, while talking on the phone the sensor detects when it’s near your ear and turns off the screen to prevent accidental key presses.
● Front Camera allows you to take pictures and videos of yourself.
● Power/Lock Key lets you turn the phone on or off, turn the screen on or off, or lock the
screen. Press and hold for a Device options menu, where you can turn the phone off or restart it, or for easy access to Airplane mode, and to Mute, Vibrate, and Sound modes.
