Using This Guide  
This Get Started guide is designed to help you set up and use your new  
LG Viper 4G LTE™. It’s divided into four sections to help you find the  
information you need quickly and easily.  
Use Your Device − page 14 − Take  
advantage of your device’s features  
and Sprint services, from the basics  
(Making Calls) to the more advanced  
(using Android Market, WiFi, and more).  
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.  
Tools & Resources − page 30 − 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  
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).
