Setting up your phone for the first time
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you can set up your email accounts
and favorite social networks like Facebook® and Twitter™. You can also easily transfer
contacts and other data from your old phone to your new phone. Just follow the
onscreen instructions. You can choose to skip any part of the setup and do it at
another time.
1. Choose your language and tap Next.
2. If you want some tips on using the onscreen keyboard, follow the tutorial. If not,
tap Skip.
3. On the Internet connection screen, choose how you want to connect to the
Internet, and then tap Next.
4. If there’s Wi-Fi in range, tap Next and then the wireless network you want to
connect to. Or if you’d rather set it up later, just clear the Connect to Wi-Fi
network check box.
5. Features such as Clock and Weather need to know your location. But we take
your privacy seriously. So, on the Use Google location screen, you can choose
whether to allow this information to be collected. Either clear or select the two
check boxes, then tap Next.
Location-based services may incur extra data fees from your mobile operator. Don’t worry.
You can enable or disable them in your phone’s Location and Privacy settings.
6. Choose the type of email account you want to set up and follow the onscreen
instructions.
Be sure to sign in to your Google Account. Tap Google account > Next > Sign in.
You can also set up POP3 and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts, or skip
and do it later. To find out how to set up these accounts, see the Accounts and
sync and Email chapters.
7. Choose the type of social network account (such as Facebook or Twitter) you
want to access from your phone and follow the onscreen instructions. Or skip
and do it at a later time.
8. Tap Finish.
