Getting started Setting up your phone for the first time When you switch on your phone for the first time, you'll be asked to set up your phone. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you'll be up and running with your phone in no time. Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from Verizon Wireless. Don't worry. You can enable or disable them in your phone's settings as you go along later on. To find out how, see the Settings chapter. Home screen Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes with a weather clock widget that shows the time and weather in your current location. You can also add your favorite apps, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they're always just a tap away. To find out how, see the Personalizing chapter.
