Chapter 2 Getting Started

Setting Up iPhone

Before you can use iPhone, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can create a new Apple account or specify an existing Apple account to enable purchases with iPhone. (The iTunes Store may not be available in all countries or regions.) iTunes also records the serial number of your iPhone in case you need it.

Set up iPhone:

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

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

with iPhone.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions.

In the Set Up Your iPhone screen, select “Automatically sync contacts, calendars and

bookmarks” to congure those items to sync automatically when you connect iPhone

to your computer. You can also customize your sync settings in iTunes. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 54.

Note: If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver (iPhone 3GS or later) can help you set up iPhone without a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on the screen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it. When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes detects whether you’re using a compatible screen reader on your computer, such as VoiceOver (Mac) or GW Micro Window-Eyes (PC), and automatically enables VoiceOver on iPhone. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPhone using Accessibility settings. See “VoiceOver” on page 226. VoiceOver may not be available in all languages.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer

You can disconnect iPhone from your computer at any time. However, if you disconnect it while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPhone to your computer.

When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows “Sync in Progress.” If you

disconnect iPhone before it nishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When

the sync is complete, iTunes shows “iPhone sync is complete.”

Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPhone.

If you get a call during a sync, the sync is canceled and you can disconnect iPhone to

answer the call. Connect iPhone after the call to nish syncing.

Connecting to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.

How iPhone Connects to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet using either a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network. iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:

Connects over the last Wi-Fi Â network you used that’s available.

If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi Â networks in range. Tap a network and, if necessary, enter the password to join. Networks that require a password show the lock icon next to them. You can prevent iPhone from automatically showing available networks. See “Wi-Fi” on page 186.

If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to Â the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or ). You can prevent iPhone from using cellular data in Settings. See “Network” on page 189.

If no Wi-Fi networks are available and a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone cannot connect to the Internet.

Note: Unless you have a 3G connection, you cannot use the Internet over a cellular data network when you’re on a call. You must have a Wi-Fi connection to use Internet apps while also talking on the phone.

Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some countries or 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.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

Joining a Wi-Fi Network

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

Turn on Wi-Fi: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.

Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects

networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks). If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear with a lock icon).

Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically connects 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 the connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the connection.

For information about conguring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 186.

Cellular Data Network Access

3G, 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.

You can tell iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network if you see the 3G ( ), EDGE ( ), or GPRS ( ) icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.

Note: Unless you have a 3G connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone is actively transferring data over a cellular network—downloading a webpage, for example. Incoming calls then go directly to voicemail.

Turn 3G on: In Settings, choose General > Network and tap Enable 3G.

If you’re outside your carrier’s network, you may be able to access the Internet through another carrier. To enable email, web browsing, and other data services whenever possible, turn Data Roaming on.

Turn Data Roaming on: In Settings, choose General > Network and turn Data Roaming on.

Important: Roaming charges may apply. To avoid data roaming charges, make sure

Data Roaming is turned o.
