card
Micro SIM
card tray
Paper clip
or SIM
eject tool
If you were given a SIM card to install, install it before setting up iPhone.
Important: A SIM card is required to use cellular services when connecting to GSM networks and
some CDMA networks. An iPhone 4S that has been activated on a CDMA wireless network may
also use a SIM card for connecting to a GSM network, primarily for international roaming. Your
iPhone is subject to your wireless service provider’s policies, which may include restrictions on
switching service providers and roaming, even after conclusion of any required minimum service
contract. Contact your wireless service provider for more details. Availability of cellular capabilities
depends on the wireless network.
Installing the SIM Card in iPhone 4S
Install the SIM card: Insert the end of a small paper clip or SIM eject tool into the hole on the
SIM card tray. Pull out the SIM card tray and place the SIM card in the tray as shown. With the tray
aligned and the SIM card on top, carefully replace the tray.
Setup and activation
To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from an
iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or over your carrier’s cellular network (not available
in all areas). If neither are available, you need to connect iPhone to your computer. See the
following section. If you don’t have a SIM card installed (for GSM networks), iPhone must be
connected to a Wi-Fi network, or to your computer with iTunes open, in order to complete
activation. In areas where you have a choice of carriers, the SIM card must be installed to
complete the initial activation.
Connecting to the Internet
iPhone connects to the Internet whenever necessary, using a Wi-Fi connection (if available) or
your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see “Wi-Fi” on
page 143.
Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, certain iPhone features and services
may transfer data over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact
your carrier for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see
“Network” on page 148.

Connecting iPhone to your computer
If you don’t have Wi-Fi or cellular access, you may need to connect iPhone to your computer in
order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync information,
music, and other content with iTunes. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18 .
Connect iPhone to your computer: Use the Dock Connector to USB Cable provided with iPhone.
Setting up mail and other accounts
iPhone works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail,
contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a
free iCloud account when you rst set up iPhone, or later in Settings > iCloud.
Set up an account: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
For information about iCloud, see “iCloud” on page 17.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization
supports it. See “Syncing contacts” on page 107.
You can add a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars or import
them from Mail. See page 71.
Managing content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers using either
iCloud or iTunes.
 iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them
to your devices. When something changes on one of your devices, your other devices are
automatically updated. See “iCloud,” below.
 iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPhone. Changes you
make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to copy
a le to iPhone for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPhone to your
computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18 .
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud
Photo Stream to automatically get photos you take on iPhone to your other devices, and use
iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPhone.
Note: You should not sync items on the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and
notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. If you do both,
duplicated data may result.

iCloud
iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your
iOS devices and computers, automatically keeping everything up to date.
iCloud features include:

automatically.
Previous Purchases—View previous iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooksstore purchases and Â
download them again if needed.
Photo Stream—When you take a photo on one iOS device, automatically get it on your other Â
devices. See“Photo Stream” on page 78 .
Documents & Data—Store and keep document up to date on your devices for apps that Â
support Documents in the iCloud.
Find My iPhone—Locate your iPhone on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the Â
screen, or remotely wipe the data. See “Find My iPhone” on page 36.
You can also back up iPhone to iCloud. See “Backing up iPhone” on page 15 7.
With iCloud, you get a free email account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and
backup. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t
count against your free space.

Syncing with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or you
can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, video,
podcasts, apps, and more. For information about syncing iPhone with a computer, open iTunes,
then select iTunes Help from the Help menu.
Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to
USB Cable. In iTunes, turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs automatically every day. iPhone must be
connected to a power source, both iPhone and your computer must be on the same wireless
network, and iTunes must be open on your computer. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi
Sync” on page 149.
Tips for syncing with iTunes
If you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync Â
them to your device using iTunes.
Purchases you make on iPhone in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back to your Â
iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on
your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync your device when it’s Â
attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and
Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPhone appear in the sidebar.
In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt  iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the
information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are
indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select
this option, passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and will
have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore the device.
In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from Â
your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t aect the
account on your computer.
In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you  replace the information on
iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your place in the story is included if you sync the Â
content with iTunes. If you started listening to the story on iPhone, you can pick up where you
left o using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer. Â

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, or lotions. To clean iPhone, disconnect all cables and
turn o iPhone (press and hold the On/O 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, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean iPhone. The front cover of iPhone 3GS and the front and back covers of iPhone 4S and
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 eect and
may scratch the glass.
For more information about handling iPhone, see the iPhone Important Product Information Guide

Using Siri
Siri helps you get things done. All you have to do is ask. You can ask Siri to make a call, nd a
business and get directions, schedule reminders and meetings, search the web, dictate text, and
much more.
Note: Siri is available only on iPhone 4S and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in
all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.
Use Siri: Press and hold the Home button . After the tone, ask a question or tell Siri what to do.
With iPhone earphones or a supported Bluetooth headset, press and hold the center (or
comparable) button.
You can also bring iPhone to your ear while the screen is on.
Siri can help with the following apps and services:
Phone Make a phone or FaceTime call.
Example: “Call Jason.” or “FaceTime Joe.”
Music Control music playback.
Example: “Play The Light of the Sun.”
Messages Read and send text messages.
Example: “Tell Susan I’ll be right there.”
Calendar Create and view events.
Example: “Set up a meeting at 9.”
38
Reminders Create, search, and update reminders.
Example: “Remind me to call mom.”
Maps Find locations, get directions, and contact businesses.
Example: “How do I get home?”
Mail Send and search email.
Example: “Email Lisa about the trip.”
Weather Get current weather and forecasts.
Example: “What’s the weather for today?”
Stocks Get stock info.
Example: “What is Apple’s stock price?”
Clock Get the date and time for major cities, set alarms, and start the timer.
Example: “Wake me up tomorrow at 7 a.m.”
Contacts Get and use information about your contacts.
Example: “What’s Michael’s address?”
Notes Create, search, or add to notes.
Example: “Note that I spent $12 on lunch.”
Safari Search the web.

WolframAlpha Answer questions about facts, data, statistics, and mathematical
calculations.
Example: “How many calories in a bagel?”
Find My Friends (available
separately from the App Store)
Locate friends.
Example: “Find Bob.”
For more examples, ask Siri, “What can you do?” or tap when Siri opens.
Siri knows which app you’re using, so you can refer to what’s on your screen. For example, when
reading a message in Mail, you can say “Reply, I like it” or “Call him.” Siri also understands dierent
ways of saying the same thing. For example, you could say “Send a message to Susan saying I’ll be
right there” or “Tell Susan I’ll by right there.”
When Siri displays information on the screen (for example, a calendar appointment), you can
usually tap the displayed info to open the related app for details and further action.
Siri uses information in Contacts to know when you’re referring to your friends and associates.
Make sure you have contacts for the people you want Siri to know about. Include nicknames
and addresses, so that you can say things like “Find restaurants near Bob’s house.” If you refer

About location reminders
Location reminders are available only on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and may not be available in all
areas. Also, you cannot set locations for reminders in Microsoft Exchange accounts.
You can set a location reminder to have Reminders alert you when you approach the location,
and again when you’re no longer near the area. For best results, specify a location that’s well
dened—such as an address instead of city—and remember that the accuracy can vary. iPhone
checks its location less frequently depending on your model of iPhone and whether it’s locked,
so there may be a delay before the reminder is triggered.
When you create a reminder, you can use your current location or a location from your contacts
list. Add locations that you’ll use with Reminders, such as the grocery store or school, to Contacts.
You should also add personal locations, such as your home and work addresses, to your contact
card in Contacts. Reminders shows the locations from your contact card. For information about
setting your contact card in Contacts, see “Contacts accounts and settings” on page 109.
Managing completed reminders
