Setting up service on your new phone is quick and easy.

This section walks you through the necessary steps to
unlock your phone, set up your voicemail, establish
passwords, and contact Sprint for assistance with your
Sprint PCS Service.

2 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service

Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated

If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need
to do is unlock it.

If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Welcome to
Sprint brochure included with your phone.

Unlocking Your Phone

To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:

1. Press to turn the phone on.

SettingUpService

2. Press Unlock (leftsoftkey).

Note:To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey

text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.

3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,

the code is not visible as you type.)

Tip:If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either

your Social Security number or wireless phone number or try 0000 or
NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4PCS (4727).

Section 1A: Setting Up Service 3

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered calls to your phone are automatically
transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or
turned off. Therefore, you will want to set up your voicemail
and personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.

To set up your voicemail:

1. From standby mode, press and hold .

2. Follow the system prompts to:

n

Create your passcode

n

Record your name announcement

n

Record your greeting

n

Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch
Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding ,
bypassing the need for you to enter your passcode)

Voicemail Passcode

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail account,
Sprint recommends that you enable your voicemail passcode.

For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using
Voicemail”on page 173.

4 Section 1A: Setting Up Service

Sprint PCS Account Passwords

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your
personal account information, your voicemail account, and
your Sprint PCS Vision® or Sprint Power Vision account. To
ensure that no one else has access to your information, you
will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

AccountPassword

If you are the account owner, you’ll have an account password

SettingUpService

to sign on to
Sprint Customer Service. Your default account password is the
last four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not
the account owner (if someone else receives the bill for your
Sprint PCS Service), you can get a sub-account password at

www.sprint.com.

www.sprint.com and to use when calling

Voicemail Password

using GPS technology, making some Sprint PCS applications and services
easier to use. Turning Location off will disable the GPS location function for all
purposes except 911, but will not hide your general location based on the cell
site serving your call. No application or service may use your location without
your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service

PQRS

ATTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf,
hard-of-hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities,
to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check
with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it
supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.

When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

Your Phone’sSettings

WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends thatTTY users make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.
