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 activation card included with your phone.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock ().
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 lastfour 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 1-888-211­4PCS (4727).

Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press and hold for approximately two seconds.
Once your phone is on, it may display "Looking for Service," which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal. When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters standby mode. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).
Tip: The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you
are in an area where there is no signal.
Turning Your Phone Off
To turn your phone off:
Press and hold for two seconds until you see the powering down animation on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).
