Basics
Getting started
Once you've installed your SIM card, battery, and microSD card, you can turn on your phone
and start using it.
Turning on your phone
Press the POWER button.
When you turn on the phone for the first time, you will be prompted to set up your phone. For more
information on how to set up your phone for the first time, see "Setting up your phone for the first
time."
Entering your PIN
If your SIM card is preset with a PIN (personal identification number), you will be prompted
to enter the PIN to proceed. Enter the SIM PIN, then tap OK.
To learn how to enable or disable the SIM PIN, see "Protecting Your Phone" in the Security
chapter.
Most SIM cards are preset with a PIN (personal identification number) that is provided by your mobile
operator. When prompted, enter the preset PIN, then tap Enter. If you enter the wrong PIN three
times, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unblock it with the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key)
obtained from your mobile operator.
Turning off your phone
If you do not need to use your phone, you can turn the power off to save battery life.
1. If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on.
2. Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See "Unlocking the screen" in this
chapter for details.
3. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
4. When the Phone options options menu appears, tap Power off.
5. Tap OK when prompted to turn off the phone.
Setting up your phone for the first time
When you turn on your phone for the first time, your phone displays tutorials and guides you
to set up your email accounts and favorite social networks such as Facebook®, YouTube™,
and Twitter™. You can follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup, or skip the
setup and do it at another time.
1.
Some data and settings are automatically backed up to the storage card. Clear the check
box if you do not want to automatically back up data and settings to the storage card,
and then tap OK. See the Backup, update, and reset chapter to learn what items are
backed up to the storage card.
2.
Choose the phone language you want to use, and then tap Next.
3.
Your phone first sets up GPRS/3G, MMS, and WAP connections automatically based on
your SIM card.
