Activate Your Device

Charge the BatteryYour device’s battery should have enough charge to get started, but it’s a good idea to charge it fully before you get going. Insert the USB cable into the charging head. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the charger/accessory jack at the top of the tablet and plug the charging head into an electrical outlet.

Before turning on your device: If you purchased your device at a Sprint

Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.

If you received your device in the mail, and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of service, your device is designed to activate automatically when you first turn it on. You will see a Hands Free Activation screen at startup. When it’s finished, tap OK to continue. To confirm your activation, launch the Web browser.

If you received your device in the mail and it is going to be activated on an existing number (you’re swapping devices), go to sprint.com/activate and follow the instructions. When you have finished, launch the Web browser to confirm your activation.

If your device is still not activated, visit sprint.com/support for assistance. If you do not have access to the Internet, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 from another phone.
