memory card (not included) can also be installed at this time.
Remove the Back Cover
■ Using the slot provided, gently lift the cover off the phone.
Get Started 2

Get Started 3
Replace the Back Cover
■ Replace the battery compartment cover, making sure all the tabs are secure and there

(Charging Head and USB cable) is included with the phone for charging the battery. You will
need to charge the battery before using your phone.
Warning! Use only approved accessories to charge your phone. Approved accessories are

Activate Your Phone

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 on-screen instructions to continue.

Power/Lock Key cancels the activation process.
