Getting Started 2 Set up and activate iPhone · WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 168 before using iPhone.

If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to your computer and use iTunes to activate iPhone (see the following section). Set up and activate iPhone. Turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant.
Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin to USB Cable (iPhone 4s) provided with iPhone.

If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in.

Manage content on your iOS devices You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud or iTunes. •• iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date.

•• In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists. •• In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on your computer. •• If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPhone using iTunes.

It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPhone can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid.
Charging Charge iPhone with the included USB cable and power adapter, or with other thirdparty “Made for iPhone” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later, or power adapters compliant with applicable country regulations and with one or more of the following standards: EN 301489-34, IEC 62684, YD/T 1591-2009, CNS 15285, ITU L.1000, or another applicable mobile phone power adapter interoperability standard.
