Set up your device
What is Android™?
Android is your device's operating system. Since Android
is developed by Google™, your device is preloaded with
several Google™ services, such as Google Maps™ and
Google™ web search. To use some of the services
provided by Google™, you need a Google account.
Android provides backup options through Gmail™
account sync to restore contacts, Wi-Fi settings, and app
data to/from Android devices.
What is different about Android?
Android™ is an open system, which means that you're not
limited to using applications and services from only one
provider.
Basic settings
The first time you start your device, a setup guide explains
basic device functions and helps you enter essential
settings. You can also access the setup guide later.
To access the setup guide manually
1From the Home screen, tap .
2Tap Settings > Setup guide.
Google™ account
With a Google™ account, you can use Gmail™ to send
emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends, and Google
Play™ to download applications and games, music,
movies and books.
When setting up your device, log in to your Google™
account to sync Gmail™, Contacts, Google calendar,
Picasa™ photo albums and restore downloaded
applications from the Play Store™. You can also use
Google Maps™, download applications from Play Store™,
back up your settings to Google servers, and take
advantage of other Google services on your device.
To set up a Google™ account on your device
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Add account > Google.
3Follow the registration wizard to create a Google™
account, or sign in if you already have an account.

device. Or you can go online and create an account at
www.google.com/accounts.

Transferring contacts
Transferring contacts to your new device can
sometimes be complicated, but help is available. You
can transfer contacts from several device brands,
including iPhone, Samsung, HTC and Nokia.
After signing in to your Google™ account, your device
will sync with your Google services, such as Gmail™,
Contacts, Google Calendar and Picasa™ photo
albums.

Finding your way
Home screen
The Home screen of your device is the equivalent of the
desktop on a computer. You can customise your Home
screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper
and other items.
The Home screen extends beyond the regular screen
display width, so you need to flick left or right to view
content in one of the screen's four extensions.
The items in the bar at the bottom of the screen are always
available for quick access.

Widgets
Widgets are small applications that you can use directly on
your Home screen. For example, the Music player widget
allows you to start playing music directly.
Some widgets are resizable, so you can expand them to
view more content or shrink them to save space on your
Home screen.
Application screen
The Application screen, which you open from your Home
screen, contains the applications that come pre-installed
on your device as well as the applications you download.
The Application screen extends beyond the regular screen
width, so you need to flick left and right to view all content.

going on in your device. For example, new message
and calendar notifications appear here.
Checking notifications and ongoing
activities
You can drag down the status bar to open the
Notification panel and get more information. For
example, you can use the panel to open a new
message or view a calendar event. You can also open
some applications that run in the background, such as
the music player.
