Connecting Using Sprint 4G
Sprint 4G provides your device with wireless Internet
access over greater distances than Wi-Fi and delivers
data transfer rates of up to 30 Mbps. To connect your
device to Sprint 4G network, you need access to a
Sprint 4G base station.
For more information about the availability of Sprint 4G
in your location, visit
www.sprint.com/coverage on the
Web.
Turning Sprint 4G On and Connecting to
the Sprint 4G Network
1. Press > and tap Settings > Wireless &
networks.
2. Select the 4G check box to turn Sprint 4G on. The
device will automatically scan for the Sprint 4G
network and will automatically connect to it.
When your device is connected to the Sprint 4G
network, the 4G icon ( ) appears in the status bar
and tells you the approximate signal strength (number
of bands displayed). When you turn on 4G but the
device is not yet connected to the Sprint 4G network,
this icon ( ) appears in the status bar.
Note: The availability and range of the Sprint 4G depends on
a number of factors including your distance to the
Sprint 4G base station, and infrastructure and other
objects through which the signal passes.
Note: The Sprint 4G network is self-discoverable, which
means no additional steps are required for your device
to connect to it.
