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.

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  network you used that’s available.
If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi  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  the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or ). You can prevent iPhone from using cellular data in Settings. See “Network” on page 189.
22
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.

Cleaning iPhone

Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains, such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean iPhone,
disconnect all cables and turn o iPhone (press and hold the On/O Sleep/Wake
button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPhone. The front cover of iPhone 3GS and the front and back covers of iPhone 4 are made of glass and have an oleophobic coating. To clean these surfaces, simply wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and
rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its eect and may
scratch the glass.

About Syncing

Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPhone, then keeps the information “in sync” by copying changes made in one location to the other.
You use iTunes on your computer to sync:
contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes Â
iOS apps Â
ringtones Â
music, movies, and other iTunes content Â
photos and videos Â
By default, syncing occurs whenever you connect iPhone to your computer.
You can also congure iPhone to access accounts with online service providers such as
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information on those services is synced over the air.

Syncing Accounts

MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes (iPhone 3GS or later)—via your Internet connection (over the air), so that you don’t have to connect iPhone to your computer. The Internet connection can be over your cellular network or your local Wi-Fi network.
Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—push information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default). For iPhone 3G users, iPhone must also be awake or connected to your computer or a power adapter. Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have occurred. Use the Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch New Data” on page 199.
For information about setting up accounts on iPhone, see “Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 25.
53

Syncing with iTunes

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more Â
Calendars—appointments and events Â
Email account settings Â
Webpage bookmarks Â
Notes Â
Ringtones Â
Music Â
Photos and videos (in your computer’s photo application or folder) Â
iTunes U collections Â
Podcasts Â
Books and audiobooks Â
Movies, TV shows, and music videos Â
Apps downloaded from the App Store Â
You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer.
Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, books, iTunes U collections, videos, and apps are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (not available in all countries or regions) makes it easy to preview 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.
54
Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on your computer, as described in the following section. 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. Notes and webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos and videos can be synced from an application or from a folder.
Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to
iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without aecting
email account settings on your computer.
Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See “Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts.”
Chapter 4 Syncing and File Sharing
Purchases you make on iPhone in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
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.
Important: You should be logged in to your own user account on your computer
before connecting iPhone.

To enable email, web browsing, and other data services, turn Data Roaming on.
Important: If Data Roaming is turned on, you may incur charges when roaming
outside your carrier’s network for the use of any of the features listed above, as well as for delivery of visual voicemail. Check with your carrier for information about roaming charges.
