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 new Samsung Intercept.™ Just go to any
basic function or Sprint feature that interests you. You’ll see how
easy it is to browse the Web, or send email or text messages. You can also download
your favorite music, watch movies or Sprint TV, get turn-by-turn driving directions,
choose ringers, screensavers, and much more. So jump right in. Because there’s
less waiting, and more doing, on the Now Network.™
The services described in this guide may require a subscription to a service plan and/or may incur additional charges. Not all
services will work on all devices. Coverage is not available everywhere.

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 select the available options for
an item (for example, End Call), simply press 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.
Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger vertically
or horizontally across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your finger with some
pressure before you start to move it. Do not
release your finger 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
device sideways.
Optical Joystick: Press or scroll with the joystick to
select or highlight items on the screen.
