Get Started 15
Some file formats may not be transferred. Some third-party converter apps may be available to convert the files to a format that can be transferred.
For more info, go to www.microsoft.com/mobile/switch-easy. Have your nearest and dearest instantly at your fingertips. Use the Transfer my Data app to easily copy
your contacts, text messages, and pictures from your old phone. The app does not work with all phone models.

Get Started 16
Transfer Content Using Your Microsoft Account

Using services or downloading content, including free items, may cause the transfer of large amounts of data, which may result in data costs.
Get Started 17
Transfer Content from a Symbian or S40 Phone
Use Nokia Suite to transfer your contacts, calendar entries, and photos from a Symbian or S40 phone to your Lumia phone.

Tip: Your Symbian or S40 phone doesn’t support Nokia Suite? Or want to transfer other content, such as
your videos? You can also connect your phone to your computer and drag and drop the files you want to transfer onto your computer. If you have the OneDrive desktop app, drag and drop the files straight to the OneDrive folder for automatic upload.
Transfer Outlook Info from an Android Phone or
iPhone
Use your Microsoft account to transfer your Outlook contacts, calendar entries, and to-dos from your Android phone or iPhone to your Lumia phone.
You need a Microsoft account to sync your Lumia phone with Outlook.com.
1. Use a compatible USB cable to connect your phone to your computer.
2. On your computer, set the appropriate sync software, such as Samsung Kies, HTC Sense, Sony PC Companion, or iTunes, to sync the items to Outlook, and sync contacts, calendar entries, and to-dos from your phone to your computer.
3. In Outlook, add the Microsoft account to Outlook using Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector. Go to www.office.microsoft.com, search for Hotmail Connector, and download it to your computer. You may need to configure the Hotmail Connector settings.
4. Sync the content you want from Outlook to your Microsoft account. It may take a while before the content is available on your Microsoft account.

Get Started 18
Charge Your Phone
Learn how to charge your phone.
Charge Your Phone with a USB Charger
Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge it before you can switch the phone on for the first time.
Make sure you use a compatible USB charger to charge your phone. The charger may be sold separately.
1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect the USB cable to the charger.
2. Connect the micro-USB end of the charger's cable to your phone.
3. When the battery is full, disconnect the charger from the phone, then from the wall outlet.
You don't need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use the phone while it's charging.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take up to 20 minutes before the charging indicator is displayed.
Get Started 19
Tip: You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly, and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.
Make sure your computer is switched on. First connect the USB cable to the computer, then to your phone. When the battery is full, first disconnect
the USB cable from your phone, then from the computer.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery.
Connect the Headset
Enjoy your favorite music, or free your hands for other things when in a call. The headset may be sold separately.
■ Connect the headset to your phone.
Do not connect to products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device. Do not connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay special attention to volume levels.
Antenna Locations
Learn where the antennas are located on your phone to get the best possible performance. Avoid touching the antenna area while the antenna is in use. Contact with antennas affects the
communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power level during operation.
