(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.

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.

● 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 spr

int.com/activate and complete the online instructions to activate your

Power/Lock Key cancels the activation process.
