Getting Started 1

Get Started

The following topics give you all the information you need to set up your phone and Virgin Mobile service

for the first time.

Your Phone at a Glance

The following illustration outlines your phone’s primary features.

Set Up Your Phone

Before using your new phone, you must install and charge the battery.

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.

Install the Battery

1. Using the slot provided, gently lift the cover off the phone.

2. Insert the battery, aligning the gold contacts on the battery with the gold contacts on the phone,

and gently press the battery into place.

Getting Started 2

3. Replace the back 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 phone), microphone (bottom

of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) 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.

Getting Started 3

● 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 touch screen may not be active in water.

Charge the Battery

1. On the bottom of the phone, 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 phone.

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.

Note: Your phone supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and includes a USB 3.0 cable for higher data transfer

speeds when connected to another USB 3.0 device. You can also use USB 2.0 cables (not included) to

charge and connect your phone.

Getting Started 4

Activation and Service

Before using your phone, you must set up your service with Virgin Mobile. You will need your phone’s

serial number (MEID), printed on a sticker inside the battery compartment.

For more information about your Virgin Mobile account, see Virgin Mobile Account Information and Help.

Create Your Account and Pick Your Plan

Set up your Virgin Mobile account.

1. From your computer, visit virginmobileusa.com and click Activate.

2. Choose an activation option and click Next. Then enter your zip code and click Next.

3. When prompted, enter the serial number (MEID) printed on the sticker located on the back of

your phone in the battery compartment. This number can also be found on the bottom panel of

the phone’s package.

4. Follow the remaining instructions to choose your plan and select a payment method.

5. Follow the activation instructions below and you’ll be able to start using your phone.

Activate Your Phone

After setting up your account on virginmobileusa.com, simply turn your device on. Your device is

designed to activate automatically. If you are swapping from another Virgin Mobile device to a new one,

be sure to turn off the old device before swapping the serial number (MEID). Once the MEID swap is

complete, turn on the new device and the programming information will be pushed to your device

automatically.

You can also start the activation process manually.

■ From home, tap Apps > Settings > Activate this device.

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 Virgin Mobile account.

Note: During or after setup, you may see a Connections Optimizer notice. Read the notice and tap 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, from home, tap Apps > Settings > More

networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer and uncheck the box. See Connections

Optimizer for details.
