Chapter 2 Getting Started
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 configure 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 56.
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 233.
Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer
You can disconnect iPhone from your computer at any time. However, if you
disconnect it while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next
time you connect iPhone to your computer.
When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows “Sync in Progress.” If you
disconnect iPhone before it finishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When
the sync is complete, iTunes shows “iPhone sync is complete.”
21
Chapter 2 Getting Started
Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPhone.
If you get a call during a sync, the sync is canceled and you can disconnect iPhone to
answer the call. Connect iPhone after the call to finish syncing.
Connecting to the Internet
iPhone connects to the Internet whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, Stocks, Maps,
Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.
How iPhone Connects to the Internet
iPhone connects to the Internet using either a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network.
iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:
Connects over the last Wi-Fi
ÂÂ
network you used that’s available.
If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi
ÂÂ

of iPhone 3GS and the front and back covers of iPhone 4 are made of glass and have
an oleophobic coating. To clean these surfaces, simply wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and
rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may
scratch the glass.

Syncing and File Sharing

About Syncing
Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPhone, then
keeps the information in sync by copying changes made in one location to the other.
You use iTunes on your computer to sync contacts, calendars, and other information;
iOS apps; photos and videos; and music and other iTunes content. By default, syncing
occurs whenever you connect iPhone to your computer.
You can also configure iPhone to access accounts with online service providers such as
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information on those
services is synced over the air.
Syncing Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync
information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
(iPhone 3GS or later)—via your Internet connection (over the air), so that you don’t
have to connect iPhone to your computer. The Internet connection can be over your
cellular network or your local Wi-Fi network.
Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—push
information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is
changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default).
For iPhone 3G users, iPhone must also be awake or connected to your computer or
a power adapter. Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have
occurred. Use the Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch
New Data” on page 206.
For information about setting up accounts on iPhone, see “Adding Mail, Contacts, and
Calendar Accounts” on page 25.

Dial a number
Say “call” or “dial,” then say the number.
For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. If you speak only the
first name and you have more than one contact with that name, iPhone asks which of
those contacts you want to call. If there’s more than one number for the person you’re
calling, say which number to use. Otherwise, iPhone asks you.
When voice dialing a number, speak each digit separately—for example, say “four one
five, five five five, one two one two.”

If iPhone is locked with a passcode, you may still be able to make an emergency call.
Make an emergency call when iPhone is locked: On the Enter Passcode screen, tap
Emergency Call, then dial the number using the numeric keypad.
Important: Only emergency numbers valid in the country or region where you’re

entered or turned off.
In the U.S., location information (if available) is provided to emergency service
providers when you dial 911.
Important: You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such
as medical emergencies. Use of any cellular phone to call emergency services may
not work in all locations. Emergency numbers and services vary by country or region,
and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or
environmental interference. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call
from iPhone if it doesn’t have a SIM card, if you locked your SIM card, or if you haven’t
activated your iPhone. If you’re on a FaceTime video call, you must end that call before
you can call an emergency number.

Making International Calls from Your Home Area
For information about making international calls from your home area, including rates
and other charges that may apply, contact your carrier or go to your carrier’s website.
Using iPhone Abroad
You can use iPhone to make calls in many countries around the world. iPhone 3GS and
iPhone 4 are multi-band phones, ensuring broad international coverage.
Enable international roaming: Contact your carrier for information about availability
and fees.
Set iPhone to add the correct prefix when dialing from another country: In Settings,
tap Phone, then turn International Assist on. This lets you make calls to your home
country using the numbers in your contacts and favorites, without having to add a
prefix or your country code. International Assist works for U.S. telephone numbers only.
When you make a call using International Assist, “International Assist” appears on the
iPhone screen, alternating with the “calling …” message, until your call is connected.
Note: International Assist may not be available in all areas.
Set the carrier to use: In Settings, tap Carrier, then select the carrier you prefer. This
option is available only when you’re traveling outside your carrier’s network. You can
make calls only on carriers that have roaming agreements with your iPhone service
provider. For more information, see “Carrier” on page 193.

Chapter 5 Phone
Other third-party apps that use data roaming may also be disabled.
If Data Roaming is turned off, you can still make and receive phone calls, and send and
receive text messages. Voice roaming charges may apply. Visual voicemail is delivered
if there’s no charge; if your carrier charges for delivery of visual voicemail when
roaming, turning Data Roaming off prevents the delivery of visual voicemail.
To enable email, web browsing, and other data services, turn Data Roaming on.
Important: If Data Roaming is turned on, you may incur charges when roaming
outside your carrier’s network for the use of any of the features listed above, as well
as for delivery of visual voicemail. Check with your carrier for information about
roaming charges.
You can also turn off cellular data to prevent any cellular data usage.
Turn off Cellular Data: In Settings, choose General > Network, then tap the Cellular
Data switch to turn it off.
Get voicemail when visual voicemail isn’t available: Dial your own number, or touch
and hold “1” on the numeric keypad.
