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 Transform™ Ultra.

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 Transform Ultra. 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 32 − 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.
