Using This Guide

This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new
Moto X. It’s divided into four sections to help you find the information you need
quickly and easily.

Get Ready − page 6 − Find out what you

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

Android™ Basics − page 9 − Learn some

phone, use the home screen, and enter text.
If you’re familiar with Android phones, you
can probably skip these pages (although a
refresher course never hurt anyone).

advantage of your phone’s features and
Sprint services, from the basics (making
calls) to the more advanced (using
Facebook®, Navigation, and more).

Tools & Resources − page 41 − Find useful

through various types of touches, or gestures.

or type, simply touch the screen with your finger. A
light touch works best.

Touch and hold: To display the available options for
an item (for example, options for a contact), simply
touch and hold the item.
