Your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Hangouts, Google
Calendar, and other Google apps; to download apps from Play Store; to
back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other
Google services on your phone.
IMPORTANT

s
create a Google Account the first time you start an app that requires one, such as
Gmail or Play Store.
When you sign in, you're prompted to enter your username and password using the
s
on-screen keyboard.
After you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other

s
department may have special instructions on how to sign in to that account.
