need to do before you use your phone
the rst time, including inserting a
battery and activating Sprint service on
your phone.

Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phone’s Menus

Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches,
or gestures.
Tap: When you want to type using the
onscreen keyboard, select items such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your
inger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To display the available
options for an item simply touch and hold
the item.
Flick: Move your inger in lighter, quicker
strokes than swiping. This inger gesture is
always used in a vertical motion, such as when
licking through contacts or a message list.
Swipe: Quickly drag your inger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your inger with some
pressure before you start to move it. Do not
release your inger until you have reached the
target position.
Rotate: Activate the auto-rotate feature to
automatically change the screen orientation
from portrait to landscape by turning the
phone sideways.
Slide: This feature allows you to enter text by
sliding a inger from letter to letter, lifting only
