What is Android™?

Android is your device's operating system. Since Android is developed by Google™, your device is preloaded with several Google™ services, such as Google Maps™ and Google™ web search. To use some of the services provided by Google™, you need a Google account.

What is different about Android?

Android™ is an open system, which means that you're not limited to using applications and services from only one provider.

Google™ account

With a Google™ account, you can use Gmail™ to send emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends, and Google Play™ to download applications and games, music, movies and books.

To set up a Google™ account on your device

1	From your Home screen, tap .
2	Find and tap Settings > Add account > Google.
3	Follow the registration wizard to create a Google™
	account, or sign in if you already have an account.

You can also sign in to or create a Google™ account from the setup guide the first time you start your device. Or you can go online and create an account at www.google.com/accounts.

Basic settings

The first time you start your device, a setup guide explains basic device functions and helps you enter essential settings. You can also access the setup guide later.

The Home screen of your device is the equivalent of the desktop on a computer. You can customise your Home screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper and other items.

The items in the bar at the bottom of the screen are always available for quick access.

Some widgets are resizable, so you can expand them to view more content or shrink them to save space on your Home screen.

Application screen

The Application screen, which you open from your Home screen, contains the applications that come pre-installed on your device as well as the applications you download.

The Application screen extends beyond the regular screen width, so you need to flick left and right to view all content.
