Part One
Using
Nexus 4

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 identication
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

another quick way to get to your apps:

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.
