Warning!
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some

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.
● 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.

Get Started With Contacts
Before using Contacts, it’s best to learn a few basics.
Your phone automatically sorts the Contacts entries alphabetically. You can create a Google
contact, a phone contact, or a Corporate (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync) contact.
● Phone contacts are stored locally on the phone.
Note: If the phone is ever reset to its factory default parameters, locally stored contacts (phone
contacts) can be lost.
● Google contacts are shared with your existing Google Account and can also be
imported to your phone after you have created a Google Mail account.
● Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (also known as Work or Outlook) contacts are those
contacts that are intended to be shared with either an Exchange Server or from within
Microsoft® Outlook®.
