Important Information
See the following topics for more information.
Radio Frequency Exposure Operating
Instructions
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical body-worn operations.
To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.
Important Note on Recoverable Data
Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information.

Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi calling gives you the ability to make and receive phone calls and send and receive text messages over a wireless network. Because Wi-Fi Calling uses a wireless connection, your calls, texts, and data activity won’t count against your limits on your Sprint plan. Wi-Fi Calling also enhances coverage in areas where a phone signal is weak.
Warning: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling using Wi-Fi Calling
Because Sprint Wi-Fi Calling is a Voice over IP service that sends calls over the Internet, it’s important to note that 9-1-1 works differently than a regular 9-1-1 call on the Sprint Network.
When you make a 9-1-1 call with a Sprint Wi-Fi Calling-enabled phone, your phone will first attempt to complete your call like any other 9-1-1 call on the Sprint Network. If wireless coverage is not available, your phone will try to complete a 9-1-1 call over Wi-Fi. Because of this, it’s important to always make sure you have an accurate address registered to each Wi-Fi access point you use for
Sprint Wi-Fi Calling.
If you would like to order a reminder sticker for your phone that explains how the 9-1-1 process works with Sprint Wi-Fi Calling, please contact Care by dialing

The Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for your phone, including “remembered” Wi-Fi networks.
About Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding and connecting to “remembered” Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and use data at the same time.

If you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network. Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is collected.

Capture Better Photos
Here are some tips on how to improve the quality of your photos on your phone.
Improve Focus and Sharpness
n
Your phone’s camera has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much.
To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, touch the one you want to focus on.
n
If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, touch and hold the subject to lock the focus.
n
You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in the Gallery app. You can also set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings. Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an image.
Take Well-lit Photos
n
Your phone automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears underexposed or appears dark on the Viewfinder screen, touch a part of the image that is in shadow.
Conversely, touch a well-lit object in the image if the image seems to be overexposed. Focus on an object with a neutral tone for a balanced exposure. Keep in mind that touching on another object may shift the focus from your subject.
n
If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night scene, but use a tripod or place your phone on a level surface.
n
If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR mode to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep your phone steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
n
When taking a panorama shot, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.
n
If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the foreground and keep some details of the background.
Other Tips
n
In Camera settings, touch Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.
n
If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject appears to be off-color, touch > and then choose a white balance setting. Check the image on the Viewfinder and select the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of the subject.
Camera and Video 148
n
In Camera settings, you can touch Image adjustments and adjust the exposure, contrast, and others before taking the photo.
