Get Started 1

Set Up Your Phone

Before using your new phone, you must install and charge the battery. If desired, you may also take the opportunity to install an optional memory card (not included).

Remove the Back Cover
Carefully remove the back cover from the phone.
1. Remove the back cover using the slot in the upper left corner of your phone.
2. Carefully lift the cover.
Warning: Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.
Get Started 2
Install a Memory Card (Optional)
You can use an optional microSD or microSDHC memory card (not included) to expand available memory space.

as shown.

Follow these instructions for installing the battery.
■ Insert the battery, aligning the gold contacts on the battery with the gold contacts on the phone, and gently press the battery into place.
Get Started 3
Replace the Back Cover
Follow these instructions for replacing the back cover.

● 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:

Talk, and the Google Play Store, require a Google Account. To use these applications, you must set up your Google Account on your phone. Complete the steps to sign in to your current Google Account, or sign up for a new Google Account.
Samsung Account: Your Samsung Account is used for access to GALAXY Apps and
services. Complete the steps to sign in to your current Samsung Account, or sign up for a new Samsung Account.
