Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
tablet is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the tablet some time to process
your data usage request.
Your User Name
When you buy your tablet 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 network. Your user
name is automatically programmed into your tablet. You don't have to enter it.

Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your tablet displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of
the screen. The following symbols are used:
Your tablet is connected to the 3G mobile broadband network. When the signal bands are
animated, your tablet is transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page);
when the signal bands are gray, your tablet is connected to the network but is not currently
transferring data (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open).
If you do not see an indicator, your tablet does not have a current data connection. To launch a
connection, see
