Set up your Microsoft account
When you connect your Microsoft account to your phone, you can get all the cool apps and
games from Windows Store and keep your stuff safe with automatic backups to the cloud
with OneDrive.
During the setup, you can create a new account. If you sign in to any Microsoft service, such
as Outlook.com (or Hotmail), Office, OneDrive, or Xbox, you already have a Microsoft account.
Sign in with the same username and password.
When asked, fill in your account details, and select how you want to get your one-time
verification code. Type in your email address or the last 4 digits of your phone number. Make
sure you remember your credentials for the account. You may need them later.
Tip: If your screen turns off, press the power key, and drag the lock screen up.

Hearing
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies used in this device.
However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this device that have not yet been tested for use with
hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this device thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interference. Consult your service provider about its return
and exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.
Your device complies with FCC rules on hearing aid compatibility. These rules require an M3 rating or higher. The M
value of your device is marked on the device sales package. To determine the M-rating of your hearing aid and
compatibility with this device, consult your hearing health professional. For more information about accessibility, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/accessibility/hearing-aid-compatibility/.
To use a telecoil-equipped hearing aid with this device, activate the hearing aid (T switch) and the device telecoil. The
sound quality depends on the type of your hearing aid.
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your cellular phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields), recommended by international guidelines from the independent

scientific organization ICNIRP. These guidelines incorporate substantial safety margins that are intended to assure the
protection of all persons regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines are based on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is an expression of the amount of radio
frequency (RF) power deposited in the head or body when the device is transmitting. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
SAR tests are carried out with the device in standard operating positions, transmitting at its highest certified power
level, in all its frequency bands. The maximum recorded SAR values for this device are:
Maximum SAR value Frequency bands used when
Maximum SAR value was recorded
When held against the head 0.62 W/kg over 10g 4-slot GPRS 900 and WLAN 2450
When operated at a separation
distance of 5/8 inch (1.5
centimeters) from the body
0.63 W/kg over 10g 4-slot GPRS 900 and WLAN 2450
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry
Canada SAR (IC) guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can be found at
transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. Information on IC SAR can be found at www.ic.gc.ca.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or when positioned at least 5/8 inch (1.5
centimeters) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the above stated separation distance from the body.
To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a connection
is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile is automatically
decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value.
Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and design changes may occur over
time and some changes could affect SAR values. The latest available SAR information for this and other Microsoft Mobile
device models can be found at sar.microsoft.com.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you
limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body. For more information and
explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at www.who.int/peh-emf/en.
