Understanding this User Manual
The chapters of this guide generally follow the same order as the menus and sub
menus in your phone. A robust index for quick reference to most features begins on
page 181.
Also included in this manual is important safety information that you should know
before using your phone.
Activating Your Phone
If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless Store, it is probably activated and
ready to use. If you have upgraded your phone or received a new phone by mail, it
probably needs to be activated before you can use it.
To activate your phone, follow these steps:
1.
Visit a Verizon Wireless Store and to have phone activated, or visit
www.verizonwireless.com and enter your login and password in the
Manage Your Account
boxes available on the home page.
2.
When you have accessed the My Account Overview page, select
Activate
a new phone
to display instructions needed to activate your phone online.
3.
After gathering the required materials, follow the instructions to complete
the activation process.
