Activating iPhone

Before you can use any of iPhone’s features, 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.

If your SIM card was not preinstalled, you must install the SIM card before you can use
iPhone.

Install the SIM card:

1

Insert the end of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray.

Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. If you don’t have a SIM eject
tool, you can use the end of a paper clip.

2

Pull out the SIM tray and place the SIM card in the tray.

The angled corner of the SIM ensures that the card fits only the correct way in the tray.

3

With the tray aligned as shown, carefully replace the SIM tray containing the SIM card

in iPhone.

Registering iPhone

Registering iPhone with iTunes enables iTunes to identify your iPhone when it’s
connected to your computer and help you manage its contents. You can then sync
information with your computer and media from iTunes, and create backups of
iPhone’s contents and settings. You can create an iTunes Store account, or specify an
existing account, to enable purchases with iPhone. iTunes also records iPhone’s serial
number in the event you need it for service or in case of loss.
