Apple IPhone IOS 42 And 43 User Guide

							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 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 53 .
Note:   If you have a visual impairment, VoiceOver 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 230 .

							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.”
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 
 Â network you used that’s available.
If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi  Â
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 18 9 .
If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to 
 Â
the Internet over a cellular data network (, , or ). You can prevent iPhone from 
using cellular data in Settings. See “Network”  on page 19 3 .
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.
22Chapter 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.
For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see “ Wi-Fi
” on page 18 9 .
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.
Depending on your model of iPhone and the network connection, you may not be 
able to receive calls while iPhone transfers data over the cellular network—when 
downloading a webpage, for example.
GSM:
  On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail 
during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
CDMA:
  On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer incoming 
calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data 
transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
Data transfer resumes when you end the call.
Turn 3G on (GSM models):   In Settings, choose General > Network and tap Enable 3G.
When 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.
23Chapter 2    Getting Started 
						

							Important:  Roaming charges may apply. To avoid data roaming charges, make sure 
data roaming is turned off.
Internet Access on an Airplane
Airplane mode turns off the iPhone cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS transmitters and 
receivers to avoid interfering with aircraft operation. Airplane mode disables many 
of the iPhone features. In some countries or regions, where allowed by the aircraft 
operator and applicable laws and regulations, you can turn on Wi-Fi while airplane 
mode is on, to:
Send and receive email
 Â
Browse the Internet Â
Sync your contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes over the air Â
Stream YouTube videos Â
Get stock quotes Â
Get map locations Â
Get weather reports Â
Purchase music and apps Â
You may also be allowed to turn on Bluetooth to use Bluetooth devices with iPhone.
For more information, see “ Airplane Mode
” on page 18 7 .
VPN Access
VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private 
networks, such as the network at your company or school. Use Network settings to 
configure and turn on VPN. See “Network
” on page 19 3 .
Personal Hotspot
You can use Personal Hotspot (iPhone 4) to share an Internet connection with a 
computer or another Wi-Fi device—such as an iPod, iPad, or other iPhone—connected 
to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet 
connection with a computer that’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth or USB.
Note:   This feature may not be available in all countries or regions. Additional fees may 
apply. Contact your carrier for more information, including the number of devices that 
can share an Internet connection at the same time.
If the Set Up Personal Hotspot button appears in your General > Network settings, 
you first need to set up the service with your carrier. You can contact your carrier by 
tapping that button.
Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular 
data network.
