Web and Data Services

Checking the Wireless Network Status

You can check the current wireless connection status from the following:

Status bar

When your device is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon ( ) appears in the status bar and

tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that light up). If

Network notification in Wi-Fi

settings is enabled, this icon ( ) appears in the status bar whenever the device detects an available

wireless network within range.

Wi-Fi networks

On the Wireless controls screen, tap Wi-Fi settings, and then tap the wireless network that the device is

currently connected to.

The Wi-Fi network name, status, speed, signal strength, security information, and IP address are displayed.

To connect to another Wi-Fi network:

1. On the Wireless controls screen, tap Wi-Fi settings. Detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi

networks section.

2. Tap another Wi-Fi network to connect to it.

Getting Started With Data Services

With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section will

help you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing your user name, launching a data

connection, and navigating the Web with your device.

Your User Name

When you buy your device and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is

typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John

Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have

jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)

When you use Sprint Power Vision services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide

Sprint Network. Your user name will be automatically programmed into your device. You don’t have

to enter it.

Note

If you want to remove the device’s wireless network settings, tap Forget on this window. You need to enter the

settings again if you want to connect to this wireless network.

Tip

To manually scan for available Wi-Fi networks, on the Wi-Fi settings screen, press and tap Scan.

Note

If the wireless network you want to connect to is not in the list of detected networks, scroll down the screen, and

tap Add a Wi-Fi network. Enter the wireless network settings and tap Save.
