connection, go to
www.sprint.com/downloads and
download the Sprint PCS Connection Manager for

and drivers can be downloaded free of charge.)

Connection Manager software and drivers to your

3. Once the software has been fully installed, connect
your phone to your computer using a USB cable

will detect the connection and a status icon may
appear in your system tray.)
