iPhone iOS7 Setup and

Activation

HelloWhen the device is turned on, the first screen you will see is the

iPhone Hello screen. On this screen you will see a small blue “i” with a circle around it. If you tap on this you will see a box pop up that

provides the MEID.

LanguageOn the this screen you will

be asked to choose a language.

CountryYou will be asked to choose a country.

Wi-Fi/iTunes

• The next option is to connect to a Wi-Fi network if you have one. If you have a Wi-Fi network where you're activating, your iPhone tap on it and enter the Wi-Fi network’s password (if it has one). Your iPhone will remember the password going forward and you will be able to connect to that network any time you are in range.

• If you don't have a Wi-Fi network nearby, swipe to the bottom of this screen. There you will see an option to use iTunes. Tap that and plug your iPhone into your computer with the provided USB cable. It is best you do this on the computer you're going to sync your phone with going forward.

Location ServicesOn this screen you will be asked if you

want to Enable or Disable location services.

• Set Up As New iPhone - This is your choice if you haven't had an iPhone, iPad, or iPod before. This means you're starting completely from scratch.

• Restore from iCloud Backup - If you haven't had an iOS device before this doesn't apply to you. However, if you've used iCloud to backup your data, apps, and other content from other devices, choose this to download the data from your iCloud account to your iPhone.

• Restore from iTunes Backup - Again, this won't work if you haven't had an iPhone, iPod, or iPad before. If you have you can install your apps, music, settings, and other data on your new iPhone from the backups that already exist on your PC. This isn't required--you can always set up as new if you want--but it's an option that makes the transition to a new device smooth.
