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 Marquee™.

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 Marquee™. 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 helfpul Sprint
information. For additional information
including the full User Guide, videos,
tutorials, and community forums, visit

Android Basics: Getting Around Your Device

Move Around Your Device’s Menus
and Screens Using Gestures

Your device’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 finger. A light touch works best.

Press and hold: To display the available options for an
item simply touch and hold the item.

Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical
motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a
message list.
