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:
1Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.
2Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came 
with iPhone.
3Follow the onscreen instructions.
In the Set Up Your iPhone screen, select “Automatically sync contacts, calendars and 
DQQMOCTMU¦VQEQP°IWTGVJQUGKVGOUVQU[PECWVQOCVKECNN[YJGP[QWEQPPGEVK2JQPG
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.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

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

the sync is complete, iTunes shows “iPhone sync is complete.”
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 
CPUYGTVJGECNN%QPPGEVK2JQPGCHVGTVJGECNNVQ°PKUJU[PEKPI
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  network you used that’s available.
If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi 
networks in range. Tap a network and, if necessary, enter the password to join. 
Networks that require a password show the lock   icon next to them. You can 
prevent iPhone from automatically showing available networks. See “Wi-Fi” on
page 195.
If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to 
the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or  ). You can prevent iPhone from 
using cellular data in Settings. See “Network” on page 199.
If a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone can’t connect to 
the Internet.
Note: The 3G (UMTS) cellular network supports simultaneous voice and data 
communications on GSM models. For all other network connections (EDGE or GPRS 
on GSM models, or EV-DO or 1xRTT on a CDMA model), you can’t use Internet services 
while you’re on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some countries or 
regions, Wi-Fi hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require 
a fee. To join a Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open 
Safari to see a webpage that allows you to sign up for service.
22 Chapter 2 Getting Started

Joining a Wi-Fi Network
The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.
Turn on Wi-Fi: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.
Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects 
networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks). 
If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear 
with a lock   icon).
Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically connects to it whenever 
the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, iPhone 
joins the one last used.
When iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi   icon in the status bar at the 
top of the screen shows the connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger 
the connection.
(QTKPHQTOCVKQPCDQWVEQP°IWTKPI9K(KUGVVKPIUUGG¥Wi-Fi” on page 195.
Cellular Data Network Access
iPhone can access the Internet through your iPhone carrier’s cellular network. Check 
the carrier’s network coverage in your area for availability.
If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the UMTS/EV-DO ( ), 
EDGE ( ), or GPRS/1xRTT ( ) icon appears in the status bar.
GSM:  On an EDGE or GPRS connection, you may not be able to receive calls while 
iPhone is transferring data over the cellular network—downloading a webpage, for 
example. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail.  
CDMA:  On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused during incoming calls. On 
1xRTT connections, incoming calls go directly to voicemail during data transfers.
Turn 3G on (GSM models): In Settings, choose General > Network and tap Enable 3G.
If you’re outside your carrier’s network, you may be able to access the Internet through 
another carrier. To enable email, web browsing, and other data services whenever 
possible, turn Data Roaming on.
Turn Data Roaming on: In Settings, choose General > Network and turn Data 
Roaming on.
Important: Roaming charges may apply. To avoid data roaming charges, make sure

Syncing and File Sharing 4
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.
;QWECPCNUQEQP°IWTGK2JQPGVQCEEGUUCEEQWPVUYKVJQPNKPGUGTXKEGRTQXKFGTUUWEJCU
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 209.
For information about setting up accounts on iPhone, see “Adding Mail, Contacts, and 
Calendar Accounts” on page 25.

Syncing with iTunes
You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more
Calendars—appointments and events
Email account settings
Webpage bookmarks
Notes
Ringtones
Music
Photos and videos (in your computer’s photo application or folder)
iTunes U collections
Podcasts
Books and audiobooks
Movies, TV shows, and music videos
Apps downloaded from the App Store
You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer.
Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, books, iTunes U collections, videos, and apps 
are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the 
iTunes Store (not available in all countries or regions) makes it easy to preview content 
and download it to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your 
CDs. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > 
iTunes Help.
Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on 
your computer, as described in the following section. New entries or changes you 
make on iPhone are synced to your computer, and vice versa.
iTunes also lets you sync photos and videos from an application or from a folder.
Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to 
K2JQPG6JKUCNNQYU[QWVQEWUVQOK\G[QWTGOCKNCEEQWPVUQPK2JQPGYKVJQWVCÒGEVKPI
email account settings on your computer.
Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See “Adding Mail, 
Contacts, and Calendar Accounts”on page 25.
Purchases you make on iPhone in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back 
to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the 
iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.

Chapter 4 Syncing and File Sharing

You can set iPhone to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer. For 
example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book, or 
only unwatched video podcasts. 
Important: You should be logged in to your own user account on your computer 
before connecting iPhone.
Set up iTunes syncing:
1Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes.
2In iTunes, select iPhone in the Devices list.

Emergency Calls
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.
In the U.S., location information (if available) is provided to emergency service 
providers when you dial 911.
On a CDMA model, when an emergency call ends, iPhone enters Emergency call mode
to allow a call back from emergency services. While in this mode, data transmission 
and text messages are blocked.
Exit emergency call mode (CDMA model): Do one of the following:
Tap the back button.
Press the Sleep/Wake or Home  button.
Use the keypad to dial a non-emergency call.
Emergency call mode ends automatically after a few minutes, as determined by 
your carrier.
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. Only emergency numbers valid in the country or region where you’re making 
the call will work, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network 
unavailability or environmental interference. Some cellular networks may not accept 
an emergency call from iPhone if it doesn’t have a SIM card or if the SIM card is locked 
(GSM models), 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.

Watching Videos on a TV
You can watch videos on your TV by connecting iPhone to your TV or AV receiver with 
an AV cable. Or, you can stream videos wirelessly to your TV using AirPlay and Apple TV.
Connect using an AV cable: Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite 
AV Cable, or other authorized iPhone-compatible cable. You can also use these cables 
with the Apple Universal Dock to connect iPhone to your TV. The Apple Universal Dock 
includes a remote that lets you control playback from a distance. 
Stream videos using AirPlay: Start video playback, then tap   and choose your 
Apple TV from the list. If   doesn’t appear or if you don’t see your Apple TV in the list 
of AirPlay devices, make sure it’s on the same wireless network as iPhone. To return 
playback to iPhone, tap   again and choose iPhone from the list.
Apple cables and docks are available for purchase separately. Go to 
www.apple.com/ipodstore (may not be available in all countries or regions) 
or check with your local Apple retailer.
Converting Videos for iPhone
You can add videos other than those purchased from the iTunes Store to iPhone, such 
as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac, or videos you download from the Internet 
and then add to iTunes.
If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPhone and a message says the video can’t play 
on iPhone, you can convert the video.
Convert a video to work with iPhone: Select the video in your iTunes library and 
choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video 
to iPhone.
Deleting Videos from iPhone
You can delete videos from iPhone to save space.
Delete a video: In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.
Deleting a video from iPhone (other than a rented movie or TV show) doesn’t delete 
the video from your iTunes library. It may reappear on iPhone if the video in iTunes is 
still set to sync.
Important: If you delete a rented movie or TV show from iPhone, it’s deleted 
permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.

Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your 
computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a 
backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it 
doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos 
app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from 
the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it 
is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod app on iPhone using the 
Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
1Connect iPhone to your computer. 
2In iTunes, select iPhone in the Devices list.
3Select Music at the top of the screen.
4Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

Deleting Apps
You can delete apps you install from the App Store. If you delete an app, data 
associated with the app is no longer available to iPhone, unless you reinstall the app 
and restore its data from a backup.
You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with 
iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to 
your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone 
from a backup containing the data. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 257.
Delete an App Store app:
1Touch and hold any app icon on the Home screen, until the icons start to jiggle.
2Tap   in the corner of the app you want to delete.
3Tap Delete, then press the Home   button.
If you don’t see   on the app icon, either the app wasn’t purchased from the App Store 
or deleting apps has been restricted. See “Restrictions” on page 203.
When you delete an app, its data is no longer accessible through the iPhone user 
interface, but it isn’t erased from iPhone. For information about erasing all content and 
settings, see “Erase All Content and Settings” on page 207.
You can redownload any app that you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge.
Replace a deleted app:
On iPhone: Purchase the app again (you won’t be charged). 
In iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer, select iPhone in the Devices list, click 
Apps and select the checkbox next to the app, then click Apply.
Writing Reviews
You can write and submit your own app reviews directly on iPhone.
Write a review:
1Tap Ratings near the bottom of the Info screen.
2On the Reviews screen, tap “Write a Review.”
3Select the number of stars (1–5) for your rating of the app, and enter your nickname, 
a title for the review, and optional review comments. If you’ve written reviews before, 
VJGPKEMPCOG°GNFKUCNTGCF[°NNGFKP1VJGTYKUG[QW¨TGCUMGFVQETGCVGCTGXKGYGT
nickname.
4Tap Send.
You must be signed in to your Apple account and have downloaded the item in order 
to submit reviews.

Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi settings determine whether iPhone uses local Wi-Fi networks to connect to the 
+PVGTPGV+HPQ9K(KPGVYQTMUCTGCXCKNCDNGQT[QW¨XGVWTPGF9K(KQÒVJGPK2JQPG
connects to the Internet via your cellular data network, when available.

Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in 
range, then select a network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks 
that require a password appear with a lock   icon).
Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically joins it whenever the 
network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, iPhone joins 
the one last used.
When iPhone is joined to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi  icon in the status bar at the top 
of the screen shows signal strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the signal.
Set iPhone to ask if you want to join a new network: Choose Wi-Fi and turn “Ask to

When you’re trying to access the Internet, by using Safari or Mail for example, and you 
aren’t in range of a Wi-Fi network you‘ve previously used, this option tells iPhone to 
look for another network. iPhone displays a list of all available Wi-Fi networks that you 
can choose from. (Networks that require a password appear with a lock   icon.) If “Ask

Internet when a previously used network or a cellular data network isn’t available.
Forget a network, so iPhone doesn’t join it: Choose Wi-Fi and tap  next to a 
network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this Network.”
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: To join a Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list of 
scanned networks, choose Wi-Fi > Other, then enter the network name. If the network 
requires a password, tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter 
the password.
You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to 
a closed network.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a 
client ID or static IP address. Ask the network administrator which settings to use.
Adjust settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap  next to 
a network.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones. 
These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National 
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard 
for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings: an “M” rating for reduced 
radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that don’t 
operate in telecoil mode, and a “T” rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids 
operating in telecoil mode. These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where 
four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC 
rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
For current iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, go to 
www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings aren’t a guarantee that a particular hearing aid works 
with a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t 
meet particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, 
use them together before purchasing them.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the 
wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless 
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing

Backing Up iPhone
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information 
on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software 
restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. See “Updating and Restoring 
iPhone Software” on page 256.
Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content and 
other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and apps that you 
download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded 
apps and data, and other information on iPhone. After you restore iPhone, you need to 
sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on iPhone. 
See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 257.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with 
iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPhone when you:
