About Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding and
connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are
networks with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer
improved performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and
use data at the same time.
The Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If you
do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections Optimizer
operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network. Your Wi-Fi
antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously), and if no
connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the antennas off
during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your
battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is collected.

Data Services General Information (3G and 4G
Networks)
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 keyboard may appear unresponsive when in fact it
is functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your data usage request.
Your Data Services 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 is automatically programmed into your phone. You don't have to enter it.
