Using This Guide

This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new

LG optimus G. 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

phone the ﬁrst time, including inserting a

battery and activating Sprint service

on your phone.

Android Basics − page 4 − Learn some

basics about how to move around on

your 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 Google Play™, WiFi, and more).

Android Basics: Getting Around Your Phone

Move Around Your Phone’s Menus

and Screens

Your phone’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 tap works best.

Touch 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.
