Set up & go
Create or log into a MOTOBLUR account
to get your contacts, email, messages,
and status information, for all your
accounts, all in one place. Registration is
secure, and should only take a few minutes:
Note: This phone supports apps and services that use
a lot of data, so make sure your data plan meets your
needs. For details, contact your service provider.
1Tu r n o n .
2Select a language.
3Register or log in.
If you have not created a
MOTOBLUR account, you’ll
need to register: Enter your name, your current
email address (where MOTOBLUR can send
account information), and a new MOTOBLUR
password.
4Add your accounts to MOTOBLUR.
To add an account, touch it. Then, enter the user
name or email and password that you set up on that
account.
Tip: For more, or to add accounts anytime, go
to “Add account” on page 12.
5After you sign in, your
phone imports your
contacts from your SIM
card. To see your contacts,
touch Contacts.
Tip: To manually import contacts from the SIM card,
touch > Manage SIM card > Import SIM
card.
Your MOTOBLUR account
Only MOTOBLUR syncs contacts, posts, feeds,
messages, emails, photos and much more—from
sources like Facebook®, Twitter, MySpace, your work
email, Picasa™, and Photobucket®—and serves them
up just the way you want them. No opening and
closing apps and menus, it’s all front and center on
your home screen and throughout the entire phone, so
you can communicate anyway you like.
You can log into this account from a computer to
upload contacts, reset your password, get help, or
even locate your phone:

Turn it on & off
To turn on your phone, press
and hold Power on top of
your phone.
To turn off your phone, press
and hold Power , then
touch Power off in the menu that opens.
Wi-Fi® connect
If you want to use a Wi-Fi network for even faster
Internet access, press Menu > Settings >
Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings. Touch Wi-Fi
to search for and connect to wireless networks.
There’s more in “Connect Wi-Fi networks” on
page 37.
Cool content & more
Browse and download thousands of the coolest apps
on the planet from Android. On top of that, you get a
full HTML browser, so you can surf in style.
Download new apps with “Apps & updates” on
page 11. Your phone comes with a microSD memory
card installed—you can load it up with photos, videos,
and music from your computer using “Memory card &
file transfer” on page 38.
Note: Do not remove your memory card while your
phone is using it or writing files on it.
Security
Your contacts are backed-up on MOTOBLUR, so don’t
worry. Even if you lose your phone, MOTOBLUR can
help you find it or wipe it. And when you get your next
MOTOBLUR product, your stored info makes it a snap
to set up with just a username and password.
Of course, it doesn't stop there. There are plenty of
ways to protect your phone and your information,
in “Security” on page 41.
