Set Up Your Phone

You must first install and charge the battery to begin setting up your phone.

cover and lift the cover up gently.
Get Started 1
Insert the battery, contacts end first, 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.
Note: When you insert the battery, your phone may power on automatically.
2. Charge your battery. Plug the USB connector into the charger/accessory jack on the lower left side of your
phone.
Get Started 2
Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.

signal, run the setup application, set up voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.
3. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the phone on.
If your phone is activated, it will turn on and search for Sprint service. 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 a PRL Update screen and a Firmware Update screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

number on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer
online or directly on your phone. Activate on your computer:
