Using This Guide
Using This Guide
This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new
Conquer 4G. 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
device the first time, including inserting
a battery and activating Sprint service on
your device.
Android Basics − page 4 − Learn some
basics about how to move around on
your device, use the home screen, and
enter text. If you’re familiar with Android
devices, you can probably skip these
pages (although a refresher course never
hurt anyone).
Use Your Device − page 13 − Take
advantage of your device’s features and
Sprint services, from the basics (Making
Calls) to the more advanced (using
Android Market, Qik, and more).
Tools & Resources − page 29 − Find
useful tips for your device and discover
resources and other helpful Sprint
information. For additional information
including the full User Guide, videos,
tutorials, and community forums, visit

available on your Conquer 4G: the Android keyboard
and Swype (default), which uses a unique gliding
method to let you enter whole words quickly. When
you select a field that requires text or numbers, an
onscreen keyboard will appear so you can enter the
information, or type your message. (If you don’t see the
keyboard when, for instance, you’re entering contact
information, just touch the field you’re working on to
bring it up.) The device’s QWERTY keyboards can be
used in either portrait or landscape mode.
Text Entry with Your Swype Keyboard

maintaining your finger onscreen, drag to the next
character in the desired word.

been drawn over. Select from an onscreen list of
possible word matches (if prompted). This occurs if
your current swype has generated more than one
possible word match. For tips on using Swype,
touch and follow the onscreen information.
