your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see Wi-Fi on
page 130 .
Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, some iPhone apps 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
Cellular on page 135.
Chapter 2 Getting Started 13
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. See iCloud on page 15.
Set up an iCloud account: Go to Settings > iCloud.
Set up some other account: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

iTunes Store, the App Store, and iCloud. You need only one Apple ID for everything you do with
Apple. There may be charges for services and products that you use, purchase, or rent.
If you have an Apple ID, use it when you rst set up iPhone, and whenever you need to sign in to
use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re
asked to sign in.
For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/he37.
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 content such as music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, and
wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date.
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 16 .
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.
Important: Don’t sync items in 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. Otherwise, duplicated
data may result.

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, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information

Tips for syncing with iTunes
•
If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them
to your device using iTunes.
•
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone 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.
•
In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync when your device is
attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and
Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see 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 separate password is required to restore the backup. If you
don’t select this option, other 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
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, the place you left o is included if you sync
the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPhone, you can pick up where you left o

Chapter 4 Siri 37
Telling Siri about yourself
The more Siri knows about you, the more it can use your information to help you. Siri gets your
information from your personal info card (“My Info”) in Contacts.
Tell Siri who you are: Go to Settings > General > Siri > My Info, then tap your name.
Put your home and work addresses on your card, so you can say things like “How do I get home?”
and “Remind me to call Bob when I get to work.”
Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so put those relationships on
your personal info card—Siri can help you. For example, the rst time you tell Siri to call your
sister, Siri asks you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri adds
that relationship to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time.
Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as
phone numbers, email addresses, home and work addresses, and nicknames you like to use.
Onscreen guide
Siri prompts you with examples of things you can say, right on screen. Ask Siri “what can you
do” or tap when Siri rst appears. Siri displays a list of the apps it supports, with an example
request. Tap an item in the list to more examples.
Chapter 4 Siri 38
Raise to Speak
You can start talking to Siri just by bringing iPhone to your ear, like making a phone call. If
the screen isn’t on, rst press the Sleep/Wake or Home button. You’ll hear two quick beeps to
indicate Siri is listening. Then start talking.
Turn on Raise to Speak: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
If Siri doesn’t respond when you bring iPhone to your ear, start with the screen facing you, so
your hand rotates on the way up.
Handsfree Siri
You can use Siri with the headset that came with iPhone, and with other compatible wired or
Bluetooth headsets.
Talk to Siri using a headset: Press and hold the center button (or the call button on a
Bluetooth headset).
To continue a conversation with Siri, press and hold the button each time you want to talk.
When you use a headset, Siri speaks its responses to you. Siri reads back text messages and email
messages that you’ve dictated before sending them. This gives you a chance to change the
message if you want. Siri also reads back the subjects of reminders before creating them.
Location Services
Because Siri knows locations (iPhone 4S or later) like “current,” “home,” and “work,” it can remind
you to do a certain task when you leave a location or arrive at a location. Tell Siri “Remind me to
call my daughter when I leave the oce,” and Siri does just that.
Location information isn’t tracked or stored outside iPhone. You can still use Siri if you turn
Location Services o, but Siri won’t do anything that requires location information.
Turn o Location Services for Siri: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Accessibility
Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built
into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so
you can use iPhone without seeing it.
Turn on VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notications to be read aloud for you. For more
information, see VoiceOver on page 115 .

Restaurants
Siri works with Yelp, OpenTable, and others to provide information about restaurants and help
you make reservations. Ask to nd restaurants by cuisine, price, location, outdoor seating, or a
combination of options. Siri can show you available photos, Yelp stars, price range, and reviews.
Get more information by using the Yelp and OpenTable apps—iPhone prompts you to download
them if you don’t already have them installed.

Sports
Siri knows a lot about sports—including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Ask Siri
for game schedules, scores from the current season’s games, or up-to-the minute scores from live
games. Tell Siri to show you player stats and compare them against other players’ stats. Siri tracks
team records, too. Here are some things you might ask:
•
What was the score of the last Giants game?
•
What are the National League standings?
•
When is the Chicago Cubs rst game of the season?
Dictation
When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See Dictation on page 25.
Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri,
you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text.
Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing.
Siri understands a pause to mean you nished talking for the moment, and takes that
opportunity to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might
interrupt you before you’re really done if you pause too long. With dictation, you can pause as
much as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready.
You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you
can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can
complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients,
revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from.
Chapter 4 Siri 41
Correcting Siri
If Siri is having trouble
Siri may sometimes have trouble understanding you—in a noisy environment, for example. If you
speak with an accent, it can take Siri some time to get used to your voice. If Siri doesn’t hear you
exactly right, you can make corrections.
Siri shows what it heard you say, along with its response.
Correct what Siri hears you say: Tap the bubble showing what Siri heard you say. Edit your
request by typing, or tap on the keyboard to dictate.
For information about using dictation, see Dictation on page 41.
If some of the text is underlined in blue, tap it and Siri suggests some alternatives. Tap one of the
suggestions, or replace the text by typing or dictating.
Correct Siri by voice: Tap , then restate or clarify your request. For example, “I meant Boston.”
When correcting Siri, don’t say what you don’t want—just tell Siri what you do want.
Correct a mail or text message: If Siri asks if you want to send the message, say something like:
•
Change it to: Call me tomorrow.
•
Add: See you there question mark.
•
No, send it to Bob.
•
No. (to keep the message without sending it)
•
Cancel.
To have Siri read the message to you, say “Read it back to me” or “Read me the message.” If it’s
correct, say something like “Yes, send it.”
Noisy environments
In a noisy environment, hold iPhone close to your mouth, but don’t talk directly into the bottom
edge. Continue to speak clearly and naturally. Tap when you nish speaking.
You can also try holding iPhone to your ear to speak to Siri.
Network connection
Siri might tell you it’s having trouble connecting to the network. Because Siri relies on Apple
servers for voice recognition and other services, you need to have a good 3G, 4G, or LTE cellular
connection or a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
