The following topics give you all the information you need to set up your phone and Sprint
service the first time.
Your Phone at a Glance
The following illustration outlines your phone’s primary features.
Get Started 1
Set Up Your Phone
Prior to using the phone, it is necessary to install and charge the battery. An optional microSD
memory card (not included) can also be installed at this time.
Remove the Back Cover
■ Using the slot provided, gently lift the cover off the phone.
Get Started 2
Install an Optional Memory Card
■ To insert an optional microSD card (not included), carefully slide an optional memory
card under the top metal plate into the microSD card socket until the card locks into
place. For more information, see Memory Card.
Install the Battery
■ Insert the battery, aligning the gold contacts on the battery with the gold contacts on the
phone, and gently press the battery into place.
Get Started 3
Replace the Back Cover
■ Replace the battery compartment cover, making sure all the tabs are secure and there
are no gaps around the cover.
Charge the Battery
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger
(Charging Head and USB cable) is included with the phone for charging the battery. You will
need to charge the battery before using your phone.
Warning! Use only approved accessories to charge your phone. Approved accessories are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and
may cause damage.
1. Plug the USB cable into the charger/accessory jack on the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the USB cable into the charging head, and then plug the charging head into an
electrical outlet.
Get Started 4
3. When charging is finished, remove the USB cable from the charger/accessory jack on
the phone.
Turn the Phone On
Use the Power/Lock Key to turn the phone on.
■ Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn the phone on.
If your phone is
activated, it will turn on, search for Sprint service, and begin the
setup application.
If your phone is not yet activated, see Activate Your Phone for more information.
Activate Your Phone
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 on-screen instructions to continue.
Get Started 5
● If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing
number on your account (you’re swapping phones), you can activate on your computer
online or directly on your phone.
Activate on your computer:
• Go to sprint.com/activate and complete the online instructions to activate your
phone.
Activate on your phone:
• Turn on your new phone. (Make sure the old one is turned off.) Your phone will
automatically attempt Hands-Free Activation.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation process.
● To confirm activation, make a phone call. If your phone is still not activated, visit
sprint.com/support for assistance. If you do not have access to the internet, call Sprint
Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 from another phone.
Tip: Do not press the Power/Lock Key while the phone is being activated. Pressing the
Power/Lock Key cancels the activation process.
Note: If you are having any difficulty with activation, visit sprint.com/support.
Complete the Setup
After you turn on your phone and activate it, your phone displays a Welcome screen. Follow the
prompts to set up features and preferences on your phone.
Note: In some cases, you may be able to complete the setup process before your phone has
been activated on your Sprint account.
During or after setup, you may see a Connections Optimizer notice. Read the notice and
touch I Agree to allow your phone to connect automatically to the best available data network,
including Wi-Fi. To turn Connections Optimizer off at any time, touch > >
Settings > Connections tab > More
networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer
and uncheck
the box.
1. At the Welcome screen, follow the on-screen instructions to configure your phone’s
basic options, such as language, date and time, Wi-Fi connections, location settings, etc.
Google Account: Many of your phone’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps,
Hangouts, and the Google Play Store, require a Google Account. To use these
applications, you must set up your Google Account on your phone. Complete the
steps to sign in to your current Google Account, or sign up for a new Google
Account.
Get Started 6

and services, such as Samsung Hub, Samsung Apps, Samsung Link, and much
more. Complete the steps to sign in to your current Samsung Account, or sign up for
a new Samsung Account.
2. Touch Finish to complete setup.
Set Up Voicemail
Your phone automatically transfers all unanswered calls to voicemail, even if your phone is in
use or turned off. You should set up your Sprint Voicemail and personal greeting as soon as
your phone is activated. Always use a password to protect against unauthorized access.

Samsung Hub Notices
● Any media item (Media Content) may be rented or purchased after you create an
account in Samsung Hub.
Apps and Entertainment 85
● Media Content that is purchased and downloaded may be viewed concurrently on up to
five (5) devices with Samsung Hub (or “the service”) that are also registered to the same
account.
● You may remove a device from your account no more than once every 90 days.
● You may remove Media Content from a device as many times as you’d like. You will
have the ability to re-download the Media Content later subject to content re-download
availability and content provider permissions.
● You may need network coverage to access Media Content you have acquired through
the Service.
● You can use 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connectivity to download Media Content.
● Unlike purchased Media Content, rented Media Content will be viewable on only 1
device in your account at a time.
● Media Content is downloaded and saved to your authorized device's SD card. No SD
Card included out of box.
● Your Media Content may pause/stop or not download in networks where there is a weak
signal.

In no event will rented Media Content be available for a period of more than thirty
(30) days (or shorter on a title-by-title basis) after the Media Content has been rented
(e.g., if you begin viewing rented Media Content on the 29th day after the rental

not be available for the entire twenty-four (24) consecutive hour period if such period
would extend the viewable time beyond the thirty (30) day rental window).

TV using HDMI connections; otherwise, you cannot play Media Content downloaded from your
mobile device output. (4/1/2013)

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.
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.
1. Press and touch > Settings > Connecti
ons tab >
More networks >
Mobile networks > Connections optimizer.
