Setting up your phone for the first time

When you turn on your phone for the first time, you will be given
options to let you quickly set up various accounts, such as Google™

Account, Facebook®, Flickr™, Twitter™, Microsoft® Exchange
ActiveSync, and other email accounts.

Notes • You need to be connected to the Internet, using Wi-Fi or data

connection, to set up accounts.

• Setting up some of the accounts does not give you access to all the

features of the application. For example, when you set up a Facebook
account, you will only be able to view your Facebook albums and

your friends’ albums. You can, however, download the Facebook
application from Android Market™ or use Browser to go to the
Facebook website.

• You do not need to set up all accounts to use the phone.

1. You may be asked to choose the language you want to use, view

tutorials, or set up a Wi-Fi connection in the following screens.
Tap Next or Skip to go to the next screen.

Note You will only be asked to set up a Wi-Fi connection if there is a

Wi-Fi connection available.

2. On the Set up accounts screen, choose which accounts you want

to set up. Tap Skip if you do not want to set up accounts.

To learn how to set up a Google Account, refer to Chapter 8.
To learn how to set up an Exchange ActiveSync account and
other email accounts, refer to Chapter 5.

After setting up an account, you will be taken back to the Set
up accounts screen. Tap Next when you are done setting up the
accounts.

3. On the Set up social network accounts screen, choose which

social network accounts you want to set up. Tap Skip if you do
not want to set up accounts.
