Data Connection Status and Indicators
Your phone notifies you of the current status of your data connection through status icons in the
Status Bar. The following symbols can be displayed:
Your phone is connected to the high-speed 4G LTE Sprint Mobile Broadband Network. When the
signal bands are animated, your phone is scanning and connecting. During data transfer, the
animated icon is not used (for example, when you are opening a web page). When the signal bands
are gray, your phone is connected to the network, signal is weak.
When both the bands and the 4G LTE icon are gray, there is no coverage and you are disconnected
from the 4G LTE network.
Your phone is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network(3G/1x). When the
arrows are animated, your phone is transferring data. When the arrows are gray, your phone is
connected to the network but is not currently transferring data. In either state, you can receive
incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection. To launch a
connection, see
Launch a Web Connection .
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow you
to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.
Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection
Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter your login
credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company's local network.
You can get this information from your network administrator.
Before you can initiate a VPN connection, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection.
For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone, see
Turn Wi-Fi On and
Connect to a Network .
Set Up Secure Credential Storage
If your network administrator instructs you to download and install security certificates, you must first
set up the phone's secure credential storage.
