Key Functions
● Smart Sonic Receiver (Internal) lets you hear the caller and automated prompts. See
Smart Sonic Receiver.
● Proximity Sensor and Light Sensor detects how close an object is to the surface of
the screen. This is typically used to detect when your face is pressed against the screen,
such as during a phone call. It also automatically turns off the keyboard backlight and
brightens the display when you are in sunlight or a bright room, and turns on the
keyboard backlight and dims the display in darker places.
While talking on the phone, the sensor detects talk activity and locks the keypad to
prevent accidental key presses.

● Home Button returns you to the Home screen.
● Back Button lets you return to the previous screen, or close a dialog box, options
menu, the Notifications panel, or onscreen keyboard.

allows you to video conference.

exactly the message you are looking for without having to listen to every voicemail message first.
This new feature periodically goes out to your voicemail, and gathers the caller information from
all of the current voicemails. It then populates a list with the caller name and number, along with
the length of time and priority level of the voicemail message.
Set Up Visual Voicemail
Setting up Visual Voicemail follows many of the same procedures as setting up traditional
voicemail. You should set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is
activated. Your phone automatically transfers all unanswered calls to your voicemail, even if
your phone is in use or turned off.
Note: To set up your traditional voicemail box, see Voicemail Setup.

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 using 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.

Warning: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling

Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 9-1-1 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 the PSAP community are currently working
to resolve this.

Direct Connect Numbers
Sprint Direct Connect is compatible with two different types of Direct Connect numbers.
● Separate numbers – Some Direct Connect numbers are a unique number (not a
standard wireless phone number). This type is made up of three sets of digits separated
by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111). When calling a person or storing a contact
with this type of number, be sure to include the asterisks in the number. If you are saving
the number in your Contacts, choose DC ONLY for the phone type.
● A single number – Some Direct Connect numbers use the same numbers as the
wireless number for the phone (for example, 555-555-1234). If the person you are calling
has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that ten-digit phone
number to make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the
number. If you are saving this number in your Contacts, choose other than DC ONLY for
the phone type.
Your Direct Connect Number
Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless phone number (for example, 555-
555-1234). Sprint Direct Connect is compatible with this type of Direct Connect number as well
as Direct Connect-specific numbers separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have your correct number is to call them so
that they can save your number from their Call logs. Ask them for their contact information.
Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call. Also, if they have a
separate number for Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*) between sets of
numbers.

Web and Data
Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, 3G, and Virtual Private Networks
(VPN).
The following topics address your phone’s data connections and the built-in Web browser.
Additional data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and
Entertainment, and Tools and Calendar.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone’s
Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network
Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect to an
available Wi-Fi network.

bar and tells you the approximate signal strength. (The above icon indicates maximum signal
strength.)
If Network notification in Advanced Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this icon ( ) appears in the
status bar whenever the phone detects an available open wireless network within range.
Web and Data 110

you will not be prompted to enter the password again, unless you reset your phone to its factory
default settings or you instruct the phone to forget the network.

your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name and
password for certain closed wireless networks.

phone, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks.
About Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding
and connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks
are networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may
offer improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the
phone and use data at the same time.
Web and Data 111
The Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If
you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections
Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network.
Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not
continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also
manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about
your battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is
collected.

Optimizer. You will see a disclaimer.
