Using This Guide
Using This Guide
This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new
KYOCERA Hydro EDGE. It’s divided into four sections to help you find the
information you need quickly and easily.
Get Ready − page 1 − Find out what
you need to do before you use your
phone the first time, including inserting
a battery and activating Sprint service on
your phone.
Android™ Basics − page 3 − Learn
some basics about how to move around
on your phone, use the Home screen, and
enter text. If you’re familiar with Android
phones, you can probably skip these
pages (although a refresher course never
hurt anyone).
Use Your Phone − page 9 − Take
advantage of your phone’s features
and Sprint services, from the basics
(making calls) to the more advanced
(using Email, YouTube, GPS Navigation,
and more).
Tools & Resources − page 30 − Find
useful tips for your phone and discover
resources and other helpful Sprint
information. For additional information
including the full User Guide, videos,
tutorials, and community forums, visit
sprint.com/support.

Activate Your Phone
If you purchased your phone at a
Sprint Store, it is probably activated and
ready to use.
If you received your phone in the mail,
and it is a new Sprint account or a new
phone number, your phone is designed
to activate automatically when you first
turn it on. You will 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 phone in the mail and
it is going to be activated on an existing
number (you’re swapping phones), you
can activate on your computer online or
directly on your phone.
Activate on your computer:
• Go to sprint.com/activate and follow the instructions.
Activate on your phone:
• Turn on your new phone. (Make sure the old one
is turned off.) Your phone will automatically
attempt Hands-Free Activation.
• If an error occurs, touch Activate to override
auto-activation and start the manual activation
wizard.
• Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the
activation process.
When you have finished, make a phone call to
confirm your activation. If your phone is still not
activated or you do not have access to the
Internet, contact Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4727 for assistance.

Android™ Basics: Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phone’s Menus
and Screens Using Gestures
Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches,
or gestures.
Touch: When you want to press onscreen buttons,
select items such as application and settings
icons, or type, simply touch the screen with your
finger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To open the available options for
an item, simply touch and hold the item.
Drag: To scroll through a list or move slowly, drag
across the touchscreen horizontally or vertically.
For example, touch People and then drag the list
up or down.
Flick: To scroll quickly through a list, flick across
the touchscreen (drag quickly and release).
When you’re flicking through a long list, touch
the screen to stop scrolling.
Tip: When you drag or flick a list, a scroll bar
may appear. For example, in your contacts list,
drag the scroll bar to move quickly to a specific
letter (A-Z).
Zoom: “Pinch” the screen using your thumb
and forefinger to zoom out or zoom in when
viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers
inward to zoom out and outward to zoom in.)
You can also double-touch the screen to zoom
in and then double-touch again to zoom out.
