to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your
computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop computer. The USB hub
should be powered by an external power source.
Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-
powered USB hub.
SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the model name or

®
ActiveSync ). The phone can also be manually configured to connect to other email systems.
Note: If you have multiple email accounts, you must configure each account with its own settings.
If you want to send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet Service Provider) account

Web and Data
Your phone's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, Sprint 4G, Data Services (Sprint 3G Network), and
Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
The following topics address your phone's data connections and the built-in Web browser.
Connect Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100
meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some access
points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information. Others are
hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a static IP address
and other advanced settings, tap
> Advanced from the Wi-Fi settings menu.

When you're connected to a network, you can tap the network name in the Wi-Fi settings
screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.
To receive notifications when open or secured networks are in range:

1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap Network notification and select Open networks or Any
Wi-Fi networks. Select Off if you want to stop receiving notifications.
Add a Wi-Fi Network
You can add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add
a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network‘s administrator to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap ADD NETWORK.
3. Enter the Network SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, tap the Security
drop-down menu and tap the type of security used for the network.

You can also make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you have added. For
example, if you don't want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no
longer use.

Data Services
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. The
following topics 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 phone.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or on-screen keyboard may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your
data usage request.
Your User Name
When you buy your phone 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 data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint
Network. Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You don‘t have to
enter it.
Update Your User Name
If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, you must then update the user
name on your phone.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone notifies you of the current status of your data connection through status icons in the
Status Bar. The following symbols can be displayed:
Your phone is connected to the high-speed 4G Sprint Mobile Broadband Network. When the signal
bands are animated, your phone is scanning and connecting. During data transfer, the animated
icon is not used (for example, when you are opening a Web page). When the signal bands are gray,
your phone is connected to the network, signal is weak.
When both the bands and the 4G icon are gray, there is no coverage and you are disconnected from
the 4G network.
Your phone is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network(3G/1x). When the

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a
number of Bluetooth phones, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled
handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is
usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Turn Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your phone‘s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your phone
"discoverable" by other in-range Bluetooth phones.
Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available usage times. To
conserve your phone‘s battery, turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Always turn off your Bluetooth
when you are in locations that prohibit its use.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your phone and
another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure
connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Pair Your Phone
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap LG-LS720 to make your phone visible. Your phone must
be visible to successfully pair with an external device.
3. Tap Search for devices. (Your phone will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth
devices.)
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5. Depending on the device, you might have to tap Pair to accept the passkey (if they match),
confirm matching passkeys, or enter the passkey or PIN Code.

and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible
with all Bluetooth compatible phones.

Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created, the
phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-
enter a passcode again.
Disconnect a Paired Phone
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but
retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup
the connection information again.

telephone. Your phone is compatible with select TTY phones. Please check with the manufacturer
of your TTY phone to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY
phone will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY phone, contact your TTY phone manufacturer to purchase the connector
cable.

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 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.
