Signing Up for a Google Account

A Google account is necessary to maximize this smartphone's usefulness.
• Google services rely on a Google account for contacts, and email and
the calendar.
• An account is necessary to buy free or paid apps from Play Store.
To sign up for a new account, go to Apps > Settings > Accounts & sync >
ADD ACCOUNT > Google > New. Otherwise, choose Existing instead of
New to sign in with an existing account.
In Starter mode: Apps > Settings > System > Accounts & sync > ADD
ACCOUNT > Google > New
Enter the account information:
• Provide a first and last name for the account user.
• Add a username, which will also be used as a Gmail address. If the
username is already taken, select one of the alternates suggested or
enter a new one.
• Enter a password of 8 letters or more.
• Add an email address and a security question, used to recover the
password if the password is lost.
• Agree to the terms.
• Tap Sync Contacts to sync the smartphone's contacts list with the
Google account's contacts. This provides a convenient backup if the
smartphone is lost or stolen.
