Installing the SIM card:
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.
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.
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.

Register iPhone:
Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.
Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came with
iPhone.
Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPhone and sync iPhone with
your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on your computer, and with music, video, and
other content from your iTunes library.
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. Or, you can customize your sync settings in iTunes. See the following
section.
Syncing with iTunes
With iPhone, it’s easy to have instant access to your contacts, calendars, and even your
browser bookmarks. iTunes can sync all this information to iPhone, and your music,
video, and other iTunes library content as well.

You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more

Movies and TV shows
Applications purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store
You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer.
Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and purchased applications
are synced from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes, the
iTunes Store (available in some countries) makes it easy to purchase or subscribe to
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, and webpage bookmarks are synced from applications on your
computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are synced
both ways between your computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make
on iPhone are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Webpage bookmarks are also
synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an application or from a folder.
Email account settings are only synced from your computer’s email application to
iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without affecting
email account settings on your computer.
Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See “Mail, Contacts, and
Calendar Accounts” on page 12.
Purchases made on iPhone from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or the App Store are
synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download music and
applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, then sync them to
iPhone.
If you like, 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 can connect and sync with only one iPhone at a time. Disconnect
one before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own computer user
account before connecting iPhone. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPhone or iPod
to the same computer user account, you must use the same sync settings for each.
