Do you have an iPhone? Let me congratulate you on this extremely useful, versatile and stylish acquisition. Feeling in his hand a pleasant, albeit not at all great, burden, you realize that your life from that moment has undoubtedly changed for the better. But when the first wave of euphoria subsides a little, the question inevitably arises of how to use it?
Experienced iPhone owners know that the technical description of the phone on the Apple website is not in vain. It is full of useful information, which will certainly come in handy in future communication with the new device. Practice shows that the vast majority of people, at least in Russia, the technical description and instruction manual remains unread. This article is intended for these users, which provides basic information on the most important iPhone features.
To get started with the iPhone, you need to perform a number of simple steps. First, before you purchase a device, find out which operator in your area provides iPhone wireless services and under what conditions. If this is all right and you are already a happy iPhone owner, be prepared for the fact that you will need a computer connected to the Internet with a USB 2.0 port and a monitor with a resolution of at least 1024 x 768. As for the operating system, most technical descriptions insist, of course, on Mac OS, but this is not necessary, Windows will do. Note: version - Windows XP / Vista / 7/8, not older! ITunes 8.0 and an iTunes Store account are also required.
To activate iPhone, you must subscribe to the service plan of your chosen operator and register the device in the appropriate network.
If you got an iPhone without an inserted SIM card, you have to install it yourself. To do this, use a special device to remove the SIM card (the technical description of the model sometimes implies the term “needle”) or a regular paper clip. Insert the device into the hole of the SIM slot, press and push inward until the end. After that, you can push the special slot out and put a SIM card in it. The oblique corner of the SIM card will help you with this, which will tell you exactly how to place it in the hole. As the further technical description states, it is necessary to carefully return the slot along with the SIM card to the iPhone.
After this necessary component has found its place in your iPhone, you can begin the long-awaited interaction with the device: make and receive calls, listen to music, surf the Internet or work with applications.
If you first decided to make a call to a friend and brag about a new acquisition, but there were problems with this, and you still don’t want to look into the technical description, please note that it is best to use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to make a call. With their help, you will get quick access to a regular or a list of favorite contacts and much-needed things like a numeric keypad.
After dialing a number and during a conversation, the screen displays buttons for all the actions that you can currently perform. If you need to run any program, click the "Home" button, and there you can already go to the desired application.
If another friend called you during a conversation or you yourself decided to talk with someone urgently, use the second call function. To put the first person to standby and talk with the second, press Hold + Reply. To perform the reverse action, use the “Off. Call ”+“ Reply ”. If you are going to make a second call during the first, just click on the “Add” button. To switch between the interlocutors you will need a button “Replace”. Then the active call will be put on hold, and the second will become active. If you still have any questions regarding the conversation mode, take a look at the technical description, where you will find all the details along with the illustrations.
Good luck
