Activation and configuration of iPhone 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 models
Description of the Find iPhone program: how to use
To further activate the device, you will need access to the Internet. For this purpose, you can use several connection options, depending on technical capabilities. If the SIM card is connected to the Internet, then you should select the option to use cellular communications.
Note! If it is possible to use Wi-Fi networks, then you need to connect to them.
If both connection options cause certain difficulties, then you can use iTunes and use it to set up your iPhone. First of all, you should download and install the program, and then connect the phone to the computer using a cable. Then it will be necessary to install a SIM card, as required by the device. After a few seconds of waiting, you should receive a notification that the gadget has been successfully activated.
You should carefully read the commands that pop up on the screen
To proceed further, you need to configure some basic parameters:
- Geolocator. This option is used by many services related to cards in one way or another. They will also be needed for navigation, so it is advisable to connect them.
- ID setup – this account is mandatory. However, this operation can be carried out both when the gadget is first turned on, and after its activation. To do this, when you are connected to the Internet, go to the App Store, select any free application, and in its menu select the “Create Apple ID” option. Next, in the windows that open, you need to enter all the required information (email, password and age).
When setting up an ID, you must specify a real-life email, and the password must consist of at least 8 characters (numbers, letters of the English alphabet, of which there must be at least one capital letter).
Important! The created password must be remembered or written down in a safe place, as this is an indisputable confirmation of the rights to this device.
Interface
After activating the device, the first thing a new user will encounter is the start screen with applications. The phone has pre-installed programs such as a web browser, email client, notes, phone, and so on.
Applications on the screen can be moved, deleted and organized using folders; to do this, just hold your finger on one of the icons, and then move it to an empty position, to another program (to create a folder). To delete, just click on the cross to the left of the icon. Applications can be located on several screens (depending on their number).
There are also a number of gestures that work on the start screen. “Swipe” (swipe) to the right opens a screen with suitable contacts and applications. A “swipe” from the top edge opens the “Notification Center” (notifications from applications, incoming mail and missed calls will be collected there), as well as a screen with widgets. A “swipe” from the bottom brings up the “Control Center” (it opens quick access to the player and other useful functions). Swiping down from the top of the screen opens Spotlight, Apple's search service, which lets you search for content both on your device and on the web.
Basic information on using an iPhone
How to Use Apple Watch - Setup Guide
Even those who have owned the device for several days may not know how to use an iPhone thoroughly. It’s just that some of its owners don’t bother using all the functions of the gadget, being content with the simplest ones that are present even in push-button phones - call, send a message or delete it, at best, visit several applications in the form of social networks or games.
You can change the background on the screen at your discretion
Charging your phone
First of all, it is important to remember one of the main rules when using an iPhone for dummies - how to properly charge the gadget. Please note that the charge of the new device must be 100% before use. Then, during use, you need to wait until it is completely discharged and turned off.
It is advisable to repeat this charge-discharge cycle again. However, it is not advisable to use the phone while charging. In the future, you can not bring it to a complete discharge, but recharge it as necessary.
Long-term storage
If the device will not be used for a long period of time, you need to charge its battery halfway, then turn it off and store it in a cool, dry place.
When charging your device, it is better to use a powerful adapter
