Started

All you need to know to get going.

Welcome!

Sprint is committed to developing technologies that give you the ability to get what you want when you want it, faster than ever before. This booklet introduces you to the basics of getting started with Sprint and your LG Viper 4G LTE™.

Visit sprint.com/support for the complete User Guide, along with videos, tutorials, and community forums for your phone.

Using This Guide

This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new LG Viper 4G LTE™. 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 14 − Take

advantage of your device’s features and Sprint services, from the basics (Making Calls) to the more advanced (using Android Market, WiFi, and more).

Tools & Resources − page 30 − 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 sprint.com/support.

Entering Text With the Onscreen Keyboard

Your QWERTY Keyboards

There are two versions of onscreen keyboards available on your Viper 4G LTE™: 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 onscreen QWERTY keyboards can be used in either portrait or landscape mode.

Text Entry with Your Swype Keyboard

1. Touch an onscreen character, and then, while

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

2. Repeat this process until the desired characters

have 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.
