Using This Guide

Using This Guide

This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new
ZTE Optik tablet. 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
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 12 − Take

advantage of your device’s features
and Sprint services, from the basics
(Messaging) to the more advanced
(using Facebook, Qik, and more).

Tools & Resources − page 31 −

Find useful tips for your device and

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.

Touch: When you want to press onscreen
buttons, select items such as application and
settings icons, or type, simply touch the screen
with your finger. A light touch works best.

Touch and hold: To open the available options for

quick strokes. This finger gesture is always in a
vertical direction, such as when flicking the
message list.

change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the device sideways. When
entering text, you can turn the device sideways to
bring up a bigger keyboard. See “Using the
Onscreen Keyboard” for more details.

Note: To enable or disable automatic rotation,

Home > Apps> Settings > Screen

and touch the check box to toggle the option.
