AUG-2.2.1-101 Android User’s Guide
Starting Android for the first time
The first time you power on your phone (after setting it up, as described in your
phone’s owner’s guide), you’re prompted to touch the Android logo to begin using your
phone.
Then you’re offered a chance to learn about your phone, you’re prompted to create or
to sign into your Google Account, and you’re asked to make some initial decisions
about how you want to use Android and Google features.
If you don’t have a SIM card in your GSM phone
If your GSM phone doesn’t have a SIM card installed, you can’t connect to mobile
networks for voice and data services, but you can connect to a Wi-Fi network to sign
into your Google Account and to use all the features of your phone, except voice
calling. (CDMA phones don’t rely on a SIM card to connect to mobile networks.)
If you start Android the first time without a SIM card, you’re asked if you want to touch
Connect to Wi-Fi
to connect to a Wi-Fi network (instead of to a mobile network) to
set up your phone. To learn more, see “Connecting to Wi-Fi networks” on page 50.
Your Google Account
You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and
other Google Apps; to download applications from Android Market; to back up your
settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your
phone.
Touch the android to begin.
