Get started

Insert a SIM card
Before you star t using your phone, you may need to insert your Micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” ap­pears on the phone’s lock screen.
GE T STARTED 2
The SIM card tray is located on the lef t side of the phone below the volume button. The eject button is a small hole just above the tray door. To install a new Micro SIM card:
1. Insert the SIM ejection tool that comes with the phone (or a thin pin) into the eject bu tton ho le, and pu sh r mly but ge ntly un ­til the tray pops out.
2. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with the contacts out and the angled corner to the right. There is only on e possible way to t the card snug ­ly into the tray.
3. Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the phone.
TIP: Your phone’s IMEI identication
number is on the SIM card tray. You may need this number later to identify your phone for service purposes. Write down the IMEI number or take a photo of the label on the product box.
GE T STARTED 3
Charge the battery
Your battery will not be fully charged when
you rst unpack your Nexus 4. It’s a good
idea to fully charge the battery as soon as you get a chance.
If you’re using the travel adapter that comes with the phone, connect one end of the data cable to the charger port at the bottom of the phone, and the other end to the travel adapter. Then connect the travel adapter to a power outlet.
GE T STARTED 4
• T he travel adapte r varies by country
or region.
• Use only the travel adapter and Mi-
cro USB cable that come with your Nexus 4. Using a different travel adapter or cable may damage your phone.
• The input voltage range between
the wall outlet and this travel adapt­er is AC 100V–240V, and the travel adapter’s output voltage is DC 5V, 2A.
• Charging your phone through a USB
cable attached to another device, such as a laptop computer, takes longer than charging with a travel adapter.
• Nexus 4’s battery can’t be removed.
Don’t attempt to open the phone.
GE T STARTED 5
IMPORTANT: If you use a wire less char­ger, you must use an approved model and only as directed. The Nexus 4 trav­el adapter may not generate enough current to power a wireless charger.
DO NOT throw the battery in municipal waste. The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the battery should not be placed in mu­nicipal waste.
Set up your phone
The rst time you turn on the phone, you’ll
see a Welcome screen.
• To choose a different language, touch the menu.
• To continue, touch Start and follow the instructions.
When prompted, sign in using the email ad-
GE T STARTED 6
dress and password for your Google Ac­count. If you don’t have one yet, create one.
An email address that you use for any of the following counts as a Google Account:
• Gmail
• YouTube
• Google Apps
• AdWords
• Any other Google product
When you sign in with a Google Account, all the email, contacts, Calendar events, and other data associated with that account are automatically synced with your phone.
If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add the others later.
Get around
Every Home screen shows the Favorites tray: another quick way to get to your apps:
GE T STARTED 7
At the bottom of ever y Nexus 4 screen, no
matter what you’re doing, you’ll always nd
these three navigation buttons:
Back
Opens the previous screen you were working in, even if it was in a different app. Once you back up to the Home screen, you can’t go back any further in your his tor y.
Home
Opens Home. If you’re view­ing a lef t or right Home screen, opens the central Home screen. To open Google Now, swipe up. Google Now gives just what you need to know, right when you need it.
GE T STARTED 8
Recent apps
Opens a list of thumbnail images of apps you’ve worked with re­cently. To open an app, touch it. To remove a thumbnail from the list, swipe it left or right.
If you don’t use these buttons often, they may shrink to dots or fade away, depending on the cu rrent app. To brin g them back, to uch their location.
On the All Apps screen avail­able from the Favorites tray, notice the Settings icon. This
Settings
brings you to the Settings screens for your phone, where you can adjust things like net­work, sound, and account set­tings, among many others.
GE T STARTED 9

GE T STARTED 13

screen at once and pinching them togeth­er (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
GE T STARTED 15

GE T STARTED 16

Why use a Google Account?
A Google Account lets you organize and ac­cess your personal information from any computer or mobile device:
Use Google Play. Google Play brings to­gether all your favorite content in one place: movies, TV shows, books, music, magazines, apps, and more. When you sign in with your Google Account, you can reach any of this content from any of your devices – as long as you have a network connection. You can also shop for more in the Google Play store.
Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draft an email, add an event to your calendar, or add a friend’s ad­dress, your work gets backed up continu -
GE T STARTED 18
ously by Google and synchronized with any computer where you use the same Google Account.
Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email, text messages, or social stream, no matter what computer or mo­bile device you’re using.
Keep your stuff secure and available. Google works round the clock to protect your personal data from unauthorized ac­cess and to ensure that you get it when you need it, wherever you need it.
Simplify shopping. You can connect your Google account with Google Wallet, which makes it easy to purchase music, books, apps, and more on Google Play and other online stores.
Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets you take full advan­tage of other Google apps and ser vices that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Play, YouTube, Google Talk, Messaging, and more.

spaces because they’re added automati­cally for you.
Glide your nger over the letters you want to type, and lift it after each word.
