Warning!
While the phone is charging, if the touchscreen does not function due to an
unstable power supply, unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or
unplug the USB cable from the phone.
4. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet and charge your battery. Fully charging a
battery may take up to three hours.

charge the battery as soon as possible.
5. Press and hold the Power button to turn the phone on.

If your phone is activated, it will turn on, search for Sprint service, and begin the

Power Saving Settings
Control your phone’s data delivery and battery usage through this settings menu.
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your
battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
●
Reduce your backlight on time.
●
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
●
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
●
Turn 4G off when not in use
●
Turn off Sprint Hotspot (Wi-Fi hotspot) services when not in use. This is one of the
largest drains on your battery as it is not only transmitting a Wi-Fi connection to your
phone but is also doing it while using a 4G connection.
●
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will
periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
●
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone.
Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the
storage capacity of any battery.
Settings
85
●
Turn off Automatic application sync.
●
Use the Power saving widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
●
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming
your battery resources.
●
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
●
Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.

country from which you are calling.)
