Activate Your Device
• If you purchased your device at a Sprint Store,
it is probably activated and ready to use.

for a new Sprint account or a new line of
service, your device is designed to activate
automatically when you first turn it on. To
confirm your activation, make a phone call.
• If you received your phone in the mail and it is
going to be activated on 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 follow the
instructions.
Activate on your phone:
Note: For security reasons, you will need your
Sprint phone number and PIN to use this
activation method.

one is turned off.) Your phone will automatically
attempt Hands-Free Activation.
Note: Your phone will need to complete one
hands-free activation attempt before you can
continue.

start the manual activation wizard.
Note: If you don’t override Hands-Free Activation,
your phone will attempt to auto-activate five times.

activation process.

Once your device is activated, you can install an
initial ID Pack. ID Packs are bundles of
applications, ringtones, wallpapers, settings, and
more. ID Packs are installed using an application
called Sprint ID.
You can install as many as five ID Packs at any
one time in addition to the default My ID pack. You
can easily switch from one ID Pack to another
without losing any applications already installed.
For example, when you install the Sprint ID Pack,
Sprint applications such as Sprint TV, TeleNav™
GPS Navigator, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile, and
Sprint Football Live will remain in your applications.

should be fully charged, and you should be in a
network coverage area before you install an ID Pack.

Move Around Your Device’s Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your device’s touchscreen lets you control everything
through various types of touches, or gestures.
Tap: When you want to type using the onscreen
keyboard, select items such as application and
settings icons, or press onscreen buttons,
simply tap them with your finger. A light touch
works best.
Press and hold: To display the available options
for an item simply touch and hold the item.
Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes
than swiping. This finger gesture is always used
in a vertical motion, such as when flicking
through contacts or a message list.
Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
