If you are the account owner, you will create an account username and password when you sign on to  
www.sprint.com. (Click Need to register for access? to get started.) If you are not the account owner (if someone  
else receives the bill for your Sprint service), you can get a sub-account password at www.sprint.com.  
Voicemail Password  
You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your  
Voicemail“ for more information on your voicemail password.  
Data Services Password  
With your Sprint device, you may elect to set up an optional data services password to control access and  
authorize Premium Service purchases.  
For more information, or to change your passwords, sign on to www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer  
Service at 1-888-211-4727.

Charging the Battery  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your device  
automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.  
Always use a Sprint-approved or HTC-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to  
charge your battery.  
1. Plug the USB connector of the AC adapter into the charger/accessory jack at the bottom of your device.  
2. Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.  
Charging is indicated by a solid amber light in the Notification LED. As the battery is being charged while the  
device is on, the charging battery icon (  
) is displayed in the status bar of the Home screen. After the  
battery has been fully charged, the Notification LED shows a solid green light and a full battery icon (  
displays in the status bar of the Home screen.  
)
For more information about Notifications, see “Notification LED” for more details.

TTY Use With Sprint Service  
A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows  
people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by  
telephone.  
Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to  
ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your device and TTY device will connect using a special  
cable that plugs into your device’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact  
your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.  
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint Customer Service using the state  
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing  
. Then provide  
the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.  
To turn TTY Mode on or off:  
1. Press  
>
and tap Settings > Call settings > Enable TTY support.  
2. Tap Full mode, VCO mode, or HCO mode to turn TTY mode on.  
– or –

Note  
When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.  
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  
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software  
used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and  
the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

2I. Bluetooth  
About Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of  
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers,  
printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.  
Bluetooth Modes  
Your device’s Bluetooth operates in three different modes:  
On: Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but it can’t be detected by other devices.  
Discoverable: Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.  
Off: In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.  
Note  
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When  
you turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.  
Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is  
prohibited, such as aboard an aircraft and in hospitals.  
Using the Bluetooth Settings Menu  
The Bluetooth settings menu allows you to set up many of the characteristics of your device’s Bluetooth  
service, including:  
Turning on Bluetooth.  
Entering or changing the name your device uses for Bluetooth communication.  
Setting your device’s visibility (or “discoverability”) for other Bluetooth devices.  
Scanning for other Bluetooth devices.  
To access the Bluetooth settings menu:  
1. Press  
>
and tap Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.  
2. Select the Bluetooth check box and select Bluetooth options:

Pairing Bluetooth Devices  
Paired Devices  
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your device and another  
Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure connections while  
bypassing the discovery and authentication process.  
Important  
The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP.  
To pair your device with another Bluetooth device:  
Important  
Make sure that the Bluetooth device that you want to pair with is set to visible (or “discoverable”) mode.  
Consult the Bluetooth device’s documentation to learn how to set it to visible (or “discoverable”) mode.  
1. Press  
>
, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.  
2. Select the Bluetooth check box and tap Scan for devices. Your device will start to scan for Bluetooth devices  
within range and will display all detected devices below the Bluetooth devices section.  
3. Tap the Bluetooth device in the list to start pairing. (For example, a stereo Bluetooth headset.)  
Note  
If your device does not detect the target device, make sure the other device has Bluetooth turned on and is within  
range, and repeat step 3.  
4. The pairing and connection status will appear below the Bluetooth device name in the Bluetooth devices  
list. When the other Bluetooth device is connected to your device, the Bluetooth connected icon (  
will appear in the status bar. You can now start using the Bluetooth device.  
)
Tip  
You may be required to enter a passcode for some Bluetooth devices. In those instances, try using “0000” as the  
passcode. If that does not work, refer to the other device’s documentation.  
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once pairing is created, the devices can  
recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a passcode again.  
If you pair with a second headset while connected to a first, the first headset will be disconnected. To switch  
connection back to the first headset, you must manually select that headset again in the Bluetooth devices  
list.  
Disconnecting a Bluetooth Device  
1. Press  
>
and tap Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.  
2. Navigate to the Bluetooth devices section, and then press and hold the connected Bluetooth device.  
3. Tap Disconnect.  
– or –  
Tap Disconnect & unpair if you want the device to erase all pairing information with the hands-free headset  
or car kit. You will be prompted to enter the passcode again when you connect to that Bluetooth device.

Data Services FAQs  
How will I know when my device is ready for data service?  
Your user name (for example, bsmith01@sprintpcs.com) will be displayed when you access Settings > About  
phone > Status and then scroll down to Current username.  
How do I sign in for the first time?  
You are automatically signed in to access data services when you turn on your device.  
How do I know when my device is connected to data services?  
Your device automatically connects when you use data service or an incoming message arrives. You will  
also see the  
or  
indicator.  
Can I make calls and use data services at the same time?  
You cannot use voice and data services simultaneously. If you receive a call while data service is active, your  
device forwards the call to voicemail. You can place an outgoing call anytime, but it will interrupt any  
in-progress data session.  
When is my data connection active?  
Your connection is active when data is being transferred. Outgoing calls are allowed; incoming calls go  
directly to voicemail. When active, the  
or  
indicator animates on your device’s display screen.  
When is my data connection dormant?  
If your device receives no data for ten seconds, the connection goes dormant. When the connection is  
dormant, you can make and receive voice calls. (The connection may become active again quickly.) If your  
device receives no data for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.  
Can I sign out of data services?  
You can sign out without turning off your device; however, you will not be able to browse the Web or use  
other data services (unless you establish a Wi-Fi connection.) While signed out, you can still place or receive  
phone calls, check voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign in again at any time. To sign out,  
go to Settings > Wireless controls and clear the Mobile network check box.

TV FAQs  
1. Will I know if I’m receiving an incoming call while I’m viewing or listening to a media clip?  
No. All incoming calls will roll into voicemail while you are playing a clip. If the caller leaves a voicemail,  
you will see the voicemail icon on the screen.  
2. How long are the clips? Will I know the estimated time it will take to play the clip prior to accessing it?  
Once you have selected a channel, you will see a listing of the available clips, with each clip’s length  
displayed after the clip’s title. In general, a clip’s duration will depend on the story or content being  
provided, and can be fairly short or as long as a few minutes.  
3. Can I access a clip wherever I am, as long as I have my device?  
As long as you are on the Nationwide Sprint Network, you will have access to the audio and video clips.  
Note  
Sprint TV service does not work while roaming off of the Nationwide Sprint Network or where service is  
unavailable.  
4. Are the videos that I’m viewing “live” videos?  
It depends on the content provider. Some of the channels available through Sprint TV stream live content.  
Others provide media on demand with video and audio clips that are refreshed throughout the day, but  
that are not “live.”  
5. After purchasing access to an Available Channel for a monthly fee, do I receive any confirmation? That is, how do I know  
it has been purchased?  
The next time you access the channel, you bypass the Preview/Purchase page and go directly to the  
available content.  
6. If I don’t subscribe to a data plan, will I still be able to view the multimedia clips?  
Yes. For service access charges, please consult your Sprint service plan or visit www.sprint.com.  
7. What does it mean when the video pauses and I see the word “loading” at the bottom of the screen?  
This happens when the device is loading the data necessary to play the clip. It typically occurs when  
there is heavy traffic on the network.  
8. How can I cancel service if I decide I don’t want it?  
To cancel your Sprint TV service, visit www.sprint.com and sign on to My Sprint with your account number  
and password. From this page, you have the ability to cancel the service or any channels to which you  
subscribe.  
9. If I put on my stereo headset and insert it into the device’s headset jack, can I turn off the screen while I am playing an  
audio (or video) clip without interrupting the clip?  
Yes. When you insert your stereo headset into the device’s headset jack, the device automatically goes  
into “headset mode,” allowing you to turn the screen off and continue playing the clip. (Likewise, if your  
device is in “headset mode,” a phone call will not disconnect when you turn off the screen.)  
10. Can I surf to a different channel while I am playing a clip?  
Yes. While you are playing a clip, you can use the up and down navigation keys to surf to a different  
channel. You will see a small pop-up screen that tells you which channel you are watching as well as  
other channels that you have access to. Use the navigation keys to scroll through the different channels.  
Once you find a channel that you want to watch, scroll to it and press (or simply wait approximately three  
seconds), and the channel will begin loading.

SAR Information  
1.13 W/KG @ 1g (HEAD)  
0.711 W/KG @ 1g (BODY)  
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when  
used with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other  
accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not  
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal  
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines  
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the  
safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.  
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.  
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to  
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile CDMA phone employs a unit of measurement known as the  
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is  
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/  
eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID: NM8HERO200. Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)  
website as http://www.phonefacts.net.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website as http://www.phonefacts.net.  
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg)  
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional  
protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.  
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other  
mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and  
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close  
to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be  
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and  
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned  
ON.  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any  
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you  
may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they  
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this  
information.  
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.  
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
