Activate Your Tablet
Follow the instructions below to activate your tablet if it has not already been activated.
Depending on your account or how and where you purchased your tablet, it may be ready to
use or you may need to activate it on your Sprint account.
●
If you purchased your tablet at a Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
●
If you received your tablet in the mail and it is for a new Sprint account or a new line of
service, it is designed to activate automatically.
When you turn the tablet on for the first time, you should see a
Hands Free
Activation
screen, which may be followed by a
PRL Update
screen and a
Firmware
Update
screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

If you received your tablet in the mail and you are activating a new tablet for an existing
number on your account, you can activate on your computer online or directly on your
tablet.
