Using This Guide
Using This Guide
This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new
KYOCERA Rise. 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 4 − 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 10 − 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 31 − 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

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 (for example, options for a contact), 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 Contacts 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.
