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

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

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

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.

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.

Activating and Setting Up iPhone

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

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

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.

8 Chapter 1

Activating and Setting Up iPhone

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.

Connecting to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet automatically whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, or the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:

Â Connects over the last Wi-Fi network you used that’s available. Â 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 ¥ next to them. You can prevent iPhone from automatically showing available networks. See “Set iPhone to ask if you want to join a new network” on page 92.

24 Chapter 2 Basics

Â 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 WiFi 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 bar at the top of the screen. If iPhone is connected to the Internet over GPRS, appears in the status bar.

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

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

Note: Roaming charges may apply. To avoid roaming charges, make sure Data Roaming is turned off.

Using iPhone on an Airplane

Airplane mode disables the wireless features of iPhone to avoid interfering with aircraft operation and other electrical equipment.

m From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn airplane mode on.

When you turn on airplane mode, appears in the status bar at the top of the screen. No cell phone, radio, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals are emitted from iPhone. You cannot:

Â Make phone calls Â Send or receive email Â Browse the Internet Â Send or receive text messages Â Stream YouTube videos Â Get stock quotes Â Get maps locations Â Get weather reports

If allowed by the aircraft operator and applicable laws and regulations, you can continue to use iPhone to:

Â Listen to music and watch video Â Listen to visual voicemail Â Check your calendar Â Take or view pictures Â Hear alarms Â Use the stopwatch or timer Â Use the calculator Â Take notes Â Read text messages and email messages stored on iPhone

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. The iPhone battery is not user replaceable; it can only be replaced by an authorized service provider. For more information, go to: www.apple.com/batteries

Cleaning iPhone

You can also use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Unplug and turn off iPhone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the onscreen red slider). Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPhone.

Making a call on iPhone is as simple as tapping a name or number in your contacts list or tapping a contact in your favorites list. Or tap the name of a recent caller to return the call. If you’ve set up iTunes to sync contacts automatically, your contacts are synced with the address book on your computer each time you connect iPhone.

Visual voicemail displays a list of your voicemail messages so you can listen to them in whatever order you chose. Or tap to get more information, such as the time and duration of the call. (Visual voicemail may not be available in all regions.)

Calling and Answering

The cell signal indicator at the top of the screen shows whether you’re in range of the cell network and can make and receive calls. The more bars, the stronger the signal.
