CHAPTER 1: Getting Started
40
What Is Included in the Box
The DROID box may seem small, but it contains everything you need to get started (your
DROID, a USB cable, and wall plug adapter) except for a good manual – which is why
we wrote this book!
The USB Cable
This is the cable that connects your DROID to your computer. This cable also doubles
as your power cable when you plug it into the wall plug adapter.
The Wall Plug Adapter
You will also see your wall plug adapter in
the box. This adapter allows you to charge
your DROID directly from a wall outlet
without having your computer around. All
you do is plug the USB cable into this wall
adapter and the other end into your
DROID.
Now let’s explore some of DROID’s basic
features . . .
Plug your
USB cable in

adapter.
Power and Lock Button
To power on your DROID, press and hold
the
Power/Lock
button on the top-right
edge of the DROID for a few seconds (see
the figure to the right). Simply tapping this
button quickly won’t power on the DROID
if it is completely off – you really need to
hold it until you see the DROID power on.
Tap this button once to put your DROID in
Sleep
mode when the screen goes off; this
saves your battery life.
Tap the screen again quickly to wake the
device and bring the screen back on.
Power/Lock
Press and hold to power on/off.
Press quickly to sleep or wake.
