Get Started
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 2
Set Up Your Phone
Before using your new phone, you must install and charge the battery. If desired, you may also take the
opportunity to install an optional memory card (not included).
Note: Your phone’s battery should have enough charge to turn the phone 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 phone.
1. Remove the back cover using the slot in the upper left corner of your phone.
2. Carefully lift the cover.
Warning: Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.

Get Started 3
Install a Memory Card (Optional)
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 phone 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 phone,
and gently press the battery into place.

Get Started 4
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.

Get Started 5
Charge the Battery
For fastest charging times, use the Adaptive Fast Charging charger that came with your phone. This
charger provides faster charging only when connected to devices that have Adaptive Fast Charging.
1. Plug the USB cable into the Charger/Accessory Port on the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the Adaptive Fast Charging charger, and then plug the
charger into an electrical outlet to charge your battery.
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.
●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.

Get Started 6
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.
•Tap Activate to override auto-activation and start the manual activation wizard.
•Follow the onscreen 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.
Note: Do not press the Power/Lock key while the phone is being activated. Pressing the Power/Lock
key cancels the activation process.
Complete the Setup
After you turn on your phone and activate it, your phone displays a Welcome screen. From the 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.
1. At the Welcome screen, follow the onscreen 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, Google
Talk, 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.
Samsung Account: Your Samsung Account is used for access to GALAXY Apps and
services. Complete the steps to sign in to your current Samsung Account, or sign up for a
new Samsung Account.
2. Tap Finish to complete setup.
You may see a series of informational or update screens. Follow the prompts to continue.
Note: During or after setup, you may see a Connections Optimizer notice. Read the notice and then tap
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, from home tap Apps >
Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer and uncheck the
box. See Mobile Networks Settings for details.

activated. Always use a password to protect against unauthorized access.
