Transfer Files Between Your Phone and a
Computer
You can use the supplied USB cable to connect your phone directly to your computer and transfer music,
pictures, and other content files. For example, if you have a music album stored on your computer that
you want to listen to on your phone with the music player or Google Play Music, just attach your phone to
the computer and copy the files to the Music folder.

remove the USB cable from the Charging Head.

a Mac.
