With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of Sprint Power Vision. This section will help you learn the basics of using your Power Vision services, including managing your user name, launching a Vision connection, and navigating the Web with your device.
When you buy your device 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 Power Vision services might have jsmith003@sprintpcs.com as his user name.)
When you use Sprint Power Vision services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Sprint National Network.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your device. You don’t have to enter it.
If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can easily find it online or on your device.
At www.sprint.com. Sign on to your account using your device number and password. To display your user name, click on the My Personal Information menu, then click on Vision User Name.
On your device. You can find your user name under the Phone Information option in your device’s Settings menu (
> Main > Settings > General > Phone Information).
Press 
and touch Web (
) > Web. (Your Sprint Power Vision connection starts and the Instinct home page is displayed.)
While connecting, an animation and a “Loading” message may be displayed.

Parental Controls determine what features you have access to on your device. (See “Using Parental Controls” on page 52.)
When you first connect to the Web, access is confirmed against the current Parental Restrictions. If data access has been restricted, you will be notified with an onscreen warning. This feature helps prevent any accidental data connections. You can disable the data restriction feature by changing the setting from within the Parental Controls menu.
To change your Restriction settings:

) > Settings > Parental Controls > Restriction.

Your device displays the current status of your data connection through indicators at the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:
Your device is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (DOrA). When the triangles are animated, data is being transferred (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the triangles are gray, you are connected to the network but data is not currently being transferred (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open). While data is being transmitted, you can make a call but can't receive one.
Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are animated, data is being transferred (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows are gray, you are connected to the network but data is not currently being transferred (for example, when you are viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.
If no indicator is displayed, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a Sprint Power Vision Connection” on page 152.

Sprint Power Vision provides additional information services (available via your data connection), that you can personalize to suit your needs. These features make it easier than ever to retrieve the most popular Web and Category-specific information instantly.
Instinct uses both a ZIP code (that you provide to customize the content you receive) and your current GPS location so that you can get the information you want, when you want it.
These information services act to customize the Instinct to display a variety of top categories such as News, Sports, Weather, Money, Movies, and more. This information is updated throughout the day, so you’ll always be up-to-date.
By using the Instinct’s 128-bit encryption capable browser, you can also securely connect to either a movie web site (such as Fandango™, Cinemark™, Moviefone™, etc.) or utilize the device’s own movie media web pages to quickly purchase a desired movie showing near you.
Additional categories, such as Marine Forecast, and Entertainment News, can also be added to this one-touch access page. See “Adding Additional Categories” on page 180.
