Get Started
The following topics give you all the information you need to set up your device and Sprint service the first
time.
Your Device at a Glance
The following illustration outlines your device’s primary features.
Set Up Your Device
Prior to use, it is necessary to install an optional memory card (not included) and the battery.
Note: Your device’s battery should have enough charge to turn the device on and find a signal, complete
the setup wizard, set up voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge the battery as soon as
possible.

Remove the Back Cover
Carefully remove the back cover from the device.
1. Remove the back cover using the slot on the top of your device.
2. Carefully lift the cover.
Warning: Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.
Install a Memory Card
You can use an optional microSD or microSDHC memory card (not included) to expand available memory
space.
■ Carefully slide the memory card into the memory card socket (as shown) until the card locks into
place. Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the device and that the card is positioned
as shown.

Install the Battery
Follow these instructions for installing the battery.
■ Insert the battery, aligning the gold contacts on the battery with the gold contacts on the device,
and gently press the battery into place.
Replace the Back Cover
Follow these instructions for replacing the back cover.
■ Replace the battery compartment cover, making sure all the tabs are secure and there are no
gaps around the cover.
Important: Before closing the cover, check to see if there is any foreign substance such as dust or sand
between the rubber on the back of the cover and the sealing area.
Note: Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP67 rating, which tests submersion up to 1 meter for up to
30 minutes. Not shockproof. Covers must be tightly closed.

Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of
protection) and the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important
that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.
● Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
● Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water over 1 meter deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then
dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block
the microphone, earpiece, and speaker.
● When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front of device), microphone (bottom
of device), and speaker (rear of device) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as
possible.
● When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the microphone may have water in it
which may lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the
device to air-dry before making a call.
● The back and USB/Accessory Port covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or
receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise,
they may not provide protection from water and dust.
● Always keep the USB/Accessory Port cover clean and be careful to avoid damaging it.
Note: The touchscreen may not be active in water.

Charge the Battery
1. On the bottom of the device, gently lift the multipurpose jack cover to reveal the USB
Charger/Accessory Port.
2. Plug the USB cable into the Charger/Accessory Port on the bottom of the device.
3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Charging Head, and then plug the Charging Head
into an electrical outlet to charge your battery. Fully charging a battery may take up to three
hours.
Activate Your Device
Follow the instructions below to activate your device if it has not already been activated. Depending on
your account or how and where you purchased your device, it may be ready to use or you may need to
activate it on your Sprint account.
● If you purchased your device at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
● If you received your device 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 device 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.
● If you received your device in the mail and you are activating a new device for an existing number
on your account (you’re swapping devices), you can activate on your computer online or directly
on your device.
Activate on your computer:
• Go to sprint.com/activate and complete the online instructions to activate your device.
