Activating iPhone
You must activate iPhone by signing up for a service plan with an iPhone service
carrier in your area and registering iPhone with the network.
Your iPhone may have been activated at the time of purchase. If it isn’t activated,
contact your iPhone retailer or cellular service provider.
For more information about iPhone, go to www.apple.com/iphone.
Setting Up iPhone
Before you can use iPhone, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can create a
new Apple ID or specify an existing Apple ID for making purchases with iPhone. (The
iTunes Store may not be available in all countries or regions.) iTunes also records the
serial number of your iPhone in case you need it.
Set up iPhone:
1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.
2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came
with iPhone.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
In the Set Up Your iPhone screen, select “Automatically sync contacts, calendars and
bookmarks” to congure those items to sync automatically when you connect iPhone
to your computer. You can also customize your sync settings in iTunes. See “Syncing
with iTunes” on page 57.
Note: If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver (iPhone 3GS or later) can help you
set up iPhone without a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on
the screen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it. When you connect iPhone to your
computer, iTunes detects whether you’re using a compatible screen reader on your
computer, such as VoiceOver (Mac) or GW Micro Window-Eyes (PC), and automatically
enables VoiceOver on iPhone. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPhone
using Accessibility settings. (VoiceOver may not be available in all languages.) See
“VoiceOver” on page 236.
