·

To avoid injury, read all operating instructions in this guide and safety
information in the Important Product Information Guide at www.apple.com/
support/manuals/iphone before using iPhone.

What You Need

To use iPhone, you need:

 A new wireless service plan with the carrier that provides iPhone service in your area
 A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:

 Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later
 Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

 Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
 Display resolution on your computer set to 1024 x 768 or higher
 iTunes 7.5 or later, available at www.apple.com/itunes
 An iTunes Store account (a major credit card is required to open a new account)
 An Internet connection

Activating iPhone

Before you can use any of iPhone’s features, you must activate iPhone by signing up for
a service plan with the iPhone service carrier in your area and registering iPhone with
the network. If you already have a wireless account with the carrier, you may be able to
upgrade your account to work with iPhone, or keep using your old phone and add a
new line for iPhone. (Some accounts may not be upgradable.) You may also be able to
transfer your current phone number to iPhone, or get a new one.

For more information about iPhone, including videos about how to activate and use it,
go to:
www.apple.com/iphone

5

Inserting the iPhone SIM Card

In some regions, you may need to purchase the SIM card separately and insert it into
iPhone before activation. Read the documentation that comes with the SIM card for
instructions.

If your carrier gave you a PIN number to use with your SIM, you may need to enter the
PIN before activating iPhone.

Activate iPhone

1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the dock and cable that

came with iPhone.

Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPhone to a
USB 2.0 port on your computer.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to activate iPhone and sync iPhone with

your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and bookmarks on your computer.

A single checkmark in “Set Up Your iPhone” syncs all these items automatically. Or you
can use iTunes to customize the information you sync, and to sync your ringtones,
music, photos, podcasts, and videos to iPhone. See the following section.

You can disconnect iPhone from your computer after “Waiting for activation” appears
on the iPhone screen. When activation is complete,“iPhone is activated” appears on
the iPhone screen. This means that iPhone is fully functional and you can use all of its
features.

Important: If you are migrating your current phone number to iPhone, activation may

take from several hours to a day and migration of your number may take several days,
depending on your location and previous carrier.

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 6

Syncing iPhone with Your Computer

When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes syncs iPhone with the information
and media on your computer, according to how you’ve configured the iPhone sync
settings in iTunes.

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:

 Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
 Calendars—appointments and events
 Email account settings
 Webpage bookmarks
 Ringtones
 Music and audiobooks
 Photos
 Podcasts
 Videos

Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, and video content are synced from your
iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (available in
some countries) makes it easy to purchase or subscribe to content and download it to
iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about
iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Contacts, calendars, webpage bookmarks, and photos are synced from applications on
your computer, as described below. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways
between your computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make on iPhone are
synced to your computer, and vice versa. Webpage bookmarks are also synced both
ways.

Email account settings are only synced from your computer’s email application to
iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without affecting
email account settings on your computer.

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 7

If you like, you can set iPhone to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer.
For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book,
or only unwatched video podcasts. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is
connected to your computer.

Important: You can connect and sync with only one iPhone at a time. Disconnect one

before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own user account on the
computer before connecting iPhone. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPhone to the
same user account, use the same sync settings for each.

Setting Up Syncing

You use the iPhone settings panes in iTunes to specify the iTunes content and other
information you want to sync to iPhone.

Set up syncing

1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).

Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPhone to a
USB 2.0 port on your computer.

2 Select iPhone in the iTunes window (below Devices, on the left).

3 Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.

4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.

The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone settings panes.
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 8

Summary Pane

Select “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” to have iTunes sync iPhone
automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you
want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about
preventing automatic syncing, see page 11.

Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want to sync only items that are
individually checked in your iTunes library.

Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn off syncing in the Music and Video
settings panes.

Info Pane

The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email
accounts, and web browser.

Contacts

You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft
Entourage, and Yahoo! Address Book on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Windows
Address Book (Outlook Express), or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac,
you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with
only one application at a time.)

If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set
up syncing.

Note: Syncing won’t delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a
Messenger ID, even if you’ve deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or
your computer. To delete a contact containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo!
account and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book online.

Calendars

You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal and Microsoft Entourage on a
Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one
application at a time.)

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 9

Mail Accounts

You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft Outlook
2003 or 2007 or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only transferred from
your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t
affect the account on your computer.

Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer.
If you sync a Yahoo! email account, you must enter the password on iPhone. From the
Home screen choose Settings > Mail, choose your Yahoo! account, then enter your
password in the password field.

Web Browser

You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or from Safari or Microsoft Internet
Explorer on a PC.

Advanced

These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your
computer during the next sync.

Ringtones

Use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone.

Music, Podcasts, and Video Panes

Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music,
podcasts, and videos, or select the playlists and specific podcasts and videos you want
on iPhone. Audiobooks and music videos are synced along with music.

If you want to watch rented movies on iPhone, transfer them to iPhone using the Video
pane in iTunes.

If there’s not enough room on iPhone for all the media you’ve specified, iTunes asks if
you want to create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone. Then iTunes
randomly fills the playlist.

Photos Pane

You can sync photos with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later on a Mac, or with Adobe Photoshop
Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync
photos in any folder on your computer that contains images.

Chapter 2 Basics 24

 If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to

the Internet over a cellular data network or ). You cannot access the iTunes Wi-

Fi Music Store over a cellular network.

If no Wi-Fi networks are available and a cellular data network is not available, iPhone
cannot connect to the Internet. Turning on airplane mode disables both Wi-Fi and
cellular network access.

Note: Because iPhone uses the cellular network for the phone, you cannot use the
Internet over a cellular network when you’re on a call. To talk on the phone and use
Internet applications at the same time, connect over a Wi-Fi network.

Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some regions, Wi-Fi
hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require a fee. To join a
Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open Safari to see a
webpage that allows you to sign up for service.

Joining a Wi-Fi Network

The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.

Turn on Wi-Fi

m Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.

Join a Wi-Fi network

m Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in range,

then select a network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that
require a password appear with a lock icon).

Once you’ve joined a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone will automatically connect to it
whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in
range, iPhone joins the one last used.

When iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the
top of the screen shows connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the
connection.

For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 92.

Accessing the Internet via Cellular Network

EDGE and GPRS allow Internet connectivity over the cellular network available through
your iPhone carrier’s wireless service. Check the carrier’s network coverage in your area
for availability.

While iPhone is actively transferring data over a cellular network—downloading a
webpage, for example—you may not be able to receive calls. Incoming calls then go
directly to voicemail.

Chapter 2 Basics 25

You can tell iPhone is connected to the Internet over EDGE if you see in the status
