Your iPhone may have been activated at the time of purchase. If it isn’t activated,
contact your iPhone retailer or cellular service provider.
For more information about iPhone, go to www.apple.com/iphone.
Setting Up iPhone
Before you can use iPhone, you must set it up in iTunes. During setup, you can create a

ÂÂ If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to
the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or ). You can prevent iPhone from
using cellular data in Settings. See “Network” on page 199.
If a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone can’t connect to
the Internet.
Note: The 3G (UMTS) cellular network supports simultaneous voice and data

communications on GSM models. For all other network connections (EDGE or GPRS
on GSM models, or EV-DO or 1xRTT on a CDMA model), you can’t use Internet services
while you’re on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some countries or
regions, Wi-Fi hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require
a fee. To join a Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open
Safari to see a webpage that allows you to sign up for service.

Joining a Wi-Fi Network
The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.
Turn on Wi-Fi: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.
Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects
networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks).
If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear
with a lock icon).
Once you join a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically connects to it whenever
the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, iPhone
joins the one last used.
When iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the
top of the screen shows the connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger
the connection.
For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 195.

Cleaning iPhone
Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause
stains, such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPhone, disconnect
all cables and turn off iPhone (press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button, then
slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting
moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, compressed air,
aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPhone. The front cover
of iPhone 3GS and the front and back covers of iPhone 4 are made of glass and have
an oleophobic coating. To clean these surfaces, simply wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and
rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may
scratch the glass.

Syncing and File Sharing
4
About Syncing
Syncing copies information from your computer or online account to iPhone, then
keeps the information in sync by copying changes made in one location to the other.
You use iTunes on your computer to sync contacts, calendars, and other information;
iOS apps; photos and videos; and music and other iTunes content. By default, syncing
occurs whenever you connect iPhone to your computer.
You can also configure iPhone to access accounts with online service providers such as
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and others. Your information on those
services is synced over the air.
Syncing Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, and other online service providers sync
information—which might include contacts, calendars, browser bookmarks, and notes
(iPhone 3GS or later)—via your Internet connection (over the air), so that you don’t
have to connect iPhone to your computer. The Internet connection can be over your
cellular network or your local Wi-Fi network.
Some service providers—including MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange—push

information updates. This means that syncing happens whenever any information is
changed. The Push setting in Fetch New Data must be turned on (it’s on by default).
For iPhone 3G users, iPhone must also be awake or connected to your computer or
a power adapter. Other providers sync by periodically “fetching” changes that have
occurred. Use the Fetch setting to determine how frequently this happens. See “Fetch
New Data” on page 209.
For information about setting up accounts on iPhone, see “Adding Mail, Contacts, and
Calendar Accounts” on page 25.

iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without affecting
email account settings on your computer.
Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See “Adding Mail,
Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 25.
Purchases you make on iPhone in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back
to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the

ÂÂ Call John Appleseed at home
ÂÂ Call John Appleseed, mobile
Dial a number Say “call” or “dial,” then say the number.
For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. If you speak only the
first name and you have more than one contact with that name, iPhone asks which of
those contacts you want to call. If there’s more than one number for the person you’re
calling, say which number to use. Otherwise, iPhone asks you.
When voice dialing a number, speak each digit separately—for example, say “four one
five, five five five, one two one two.”
Note: For the “800” area code in the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.”

Call Forwarding
You can set iPhone to forward incoming calls to a different number. For example, if
you’re going to an area with no cellular coverage, you may want to forward calls to a
number where you can be reached.
Note: FaceTime calls are not forwarded.
On GSM models, use the Call Forwarding setting to forward incoming calls to
another number.
Forward incoming calls (GSM models):

1 In Settings, choose Phone > Call Forwarding, then turn on Call Forwarding.
2 On the “Forward to” screen, enter the phone number you want calls forwarded to.
When Call Forwarding is on, the call forwarding ( ) icon appears in the status bar
(GSM models). You must be in range of the cellular network when you set iPhone to
forward calls, or calls won’t be forwarded.
On a CDMA model, you turn call forwarding on or off by dialing special codes.
Turn on call forwarding (CDMA model): Enter *72 on the Phone keypad, followed by
the number you’re forwarding calls to, then tap Call.
Turn off call forwarding (CDMA model): Enter *73 on the Phone keypad, then tap Call.
Call Waiting
Call waiting lets you know if you receive another call when you’re on the phone. You
can ignore the incoming call, put the current call on hold and answer the incoming
call, or end the current call and answer the incoming call. If call waiting is off when
you’re on the phone, incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
On GSM models, use the Call Waiting setting to turn call waiting on or off.
Turn call waiting on or off (GSM models): In Settings, choose Phone > Call Waiting,
then turn Call Waiting on or off.
On a CDMA model, call waiting is on by default. You can disable call waiting for a call
by entering a special code before dialing the number.
Disable call waiting during a call (CDMA model): Enter *70, then dial the number.
To disable call waiting for a subsequent call, you must again enter *70 before dialing
the number.
Caller ID
Caller ID displays your name or phone number to the person you call, if the recipient’s
equipment has that capability and you haven’t blocked caller ID on your phone service.
Note: When you make a FaceTime call, your phone number is displayed even if caller ID
is turned
off or blocked.
On GSM models, use the Show My Caller ID to turn caller ID on or off.

Turn call ID on or off (GSM models): In Settings, choose Phone > Show My Caller ID,
then turn Show My Caller ID on or off.

On a CDMA model, caller ID is on by default. You can block your ID for a call you’re
making by entering a special code before dialing the number.

available, however, you cannot:
ÂÂ Make or receive FaceTime video calls
ÂÂ Send or receive email
ÂÂ Sync your contacts, calendars, or bookmarks with MobileMe or Exchange
ÂÂ Purchase music or apps
Other third-party apps that use data roaming may also be disabled.
If Data Roaming is turned off, you can still make and receive phone calls, and send and
receive text messages. Voice roaming charges may apply. Visual voicemail is delivered
if there’s no charge; if your carrier charges for delivery of visual voicemail when
roaming, turning Data Roaming off prevents the delivery of visual voicemail.
Important: If Data Roaming is turned on, you may incur charges when roaming
outside your carrier’s network for the use of any of the features listed above, as well
as for delivery of visual voicemail. Check with your carrier for information about
roaming charges.
You can also turn off cellular data to prevent any cellular data usage.
Turn off Cellular Data: In Settings, choose General > Network, then tap the Cellular
Data switch to turn it off.
Set iPhone to add the correct prefix when dialing from another country: In Settings,
tap Phone, then turn International Assist on. This lets you make calls to your home
country using the numbers in your contacts and favorites, without having to add a
prefix or your country code. International Assist works for U.S. telephone numbers only.
When you make a call using International Assist, “International Assist” appears on the
iPhone screen, alternating with the “calling …” message, until your call is connected.
Note: International Assist may not be available in all areas.

Set the carrier to use: In Settings, tap Carrier, then select the carrier you prefer. This
option is available only when you’re traveling outside your carrier’s network. You can
make calls only on carriers that have roaming agreements with your iPhone service
provider. For more information, see “Carrier” on page 196.
Get voicemail when visual voicemail isn’t available: Dial your own number (on
a CDMA model, dial your number followed by #), or touch and hold “1” on the
numeric keypad.
You can use Airplane Mode to turn off cellular services and then turn Wi-Fi on to get
access to the Internet, while preventing voice roaming charges.
Use airplane mode to turn off cellular services: In Settings, tap Airplane Mode to turn
it on, then tap Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on. See “Airplane Mode” on page 193.
Incoming phone calls are sent to voicemail. To make and receive calls again and get
your voicemail messages, turn airplane mode off.

About Camera
With iPhone, you have a great still camera and video camera (iPhone 3GS or later)
wherever you go. iPhone 4 has a main camera that takes photos and high-definition
video, an LED flash for photos and videos taken with the main camera, and a front
camera that lets you make FaceTime video calls and take photos and videos of yourself.
The main camera is on the back of iPhone. You use the screen to control the camera
and to see the photo or video you’re taking. Tap-to-focus lets you tap anywhere on
the screen to focus on a specific object or area of your shot and automatically adjust
the exposure. The macro autofocus feature (about 10 cm) and a 5x digital zoom let
you take great close-ups. (The video and tap-to-focus features are available only on
iPhone 3GS or later.)
If location services is turned on, photos and videos (iPhone 3GS or later) are tagged
with location data—including your current geographical coordinates provided by
GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell-tower information. You can use location data with some apps and
photo-sharing websites to track and post where you took the photos. For example, the
Photos app organizes photos by places.

WARNING: For important information about driving and navigating safely, see the
Important Product Information Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/iphone.
Maps provides street maps, satellite photos, a hybrid view, and street views of
locations in many of the world’s countries and regions. You can get traffic information
and detailed driving, public transit, or walking directions. Find and track your current
(approximate) location, and use your current location to get driving directions to or
from another place. The built-in digital compass lets you see which way you’re facing.
(iPhone 3GS or later).
Important: Maps, directions, and location-based apps depend on data services. These

data services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas,
resulting in maps, directions, or location-based information that may be unavailable,
inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on iPhone to your
surroundings, and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
If location services is turned off when you open Maps, you may be asked to turn it
on. You can use Maps without turning on location services. See “Location Services” on
page 200.

Finding Your Current Location
A quick tap finds your current (approximate) location.
Find your current location and turn tracking mode on: Tap .
Your current location is indicated by a blue marker. If your location can’t be

determined precisely, a blue circle also appears around the marker. The size of the
circle depends on how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the
circle, the greater the precision.
As you move around, iPhone updates your location, adjusting the map so that the
location indicator remains in the center of the screen. If you tap again until it is no
longer highlighted, or if you drag the map, iPhone continues to update your location
but stops centering it, so the location information may move off the screen.
iPhone uses location services to determine your location. Location services uses
available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned
on), and GPS (may not be available in all locations). When an app is using location
services, appears in the status bar. Location services may not be available in all
countries or regions.
If location services is turned off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on. You can’t find and
track your current location if location services is turned off. See “Location Services” on

Compass

Getting Compass Readings

The built-in compass (iPhone 3GS or later) shows which direction you’re facing, along
with the geographical coordinates of your current location. You can choose magnetic
north, or have Compass adjust the declination to show true north.
Important: The accuracy of the digital compass may be negatively affected by

magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by the
close proximity of the magnets contained in the iPhone earbuds. The digital compass
should be used only for basic navigation assistance and should not be solely relied on
to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
You need to calibrate the compass the first time you use it, and you may need to
recalibrate it occasionally after that. iPhone alerts you if calibration is needed.
Note: If location services is turned off when you open Compass, you may be asked to
turn it on. You can use Compass without turning on location services. See “Location
Services” on page 200.

Calibrate iPhone: Wave iPhone in a figure eight. You may be asked to move away
from a source of interference.
See the direction you’re facing: Hold iPhone level to the ground. The compass needle
rotates to point north. Your current direction appears at the top of the screen. The
coordinates of your current location are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Switch between true north and magnetic north: Tap and tap the setting you want.
Compass and Maps

The Compass app lets you find your current location in Maps. Maps also uses the built-
in compass to show the direction you’re facing.

Join Networks” on or off.
When you’re trying to access the Internet, by using Safari or Mail for example, and you
aren’t in range of a Wi-Fi network you‘ve previously used, this option tells iPhone to
look for another network. iPhone displays a list of all available Wi-Fi networks that you
can choose from. (Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.) If “Ask
to Join Networks” is turned off, you must manually join a network to connect to the
Internet when a previously used network or a cellular data network isn’t available.

Change an account’s settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then make the changes you want.

Changes you make to an account’s settings on iPhone aren’t synced to your computer,
so you can configure your accounts to work with iPhone without affecting the account
settings on your computer.
Stop using an account service: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then turn an account service (such as Mail, Calendars, or Notes) off.
If an account service is off, iPhone doesn’t display or sync information with that
account service until you turn it back on.
Adjust advanced settings: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account,
then do one of the following:
ÂÂ To set whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on iPhone or

account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.
Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account with your iPhone.
All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced with the
account are removed from iPhone. However, deleting an account doesn’t remove the
account or its associated information from your computer.
Fetch New Data

This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo!,
and any other push accounts on iPhone. Push accounts deliver new information to
iPhone whenever new information appears on the server (some delays may occur).
You might want to turn Push off to suspend delivery of email and other information, or
to conserve battery life.
When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, data can still be
fetched—that is, iPhone can check with the server and see if new information is
available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested.
For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too often.

Turn Push on: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then tap to turn
Push on.
Set the interval to fetch data: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data,
then choose how often you want to fetch data for all accounts.

Universal Access Features
In addition to the many features that make iPhone easy to use for everyone,
accessibility features (iPhone 3GS or later) are designed to make it easier for users
with visual, auditory, or other physical disabilities to use iPhone. These accessibility
features include:
ÂÂ VoiceOver
ÂÂ Zoom
ÂÂ Large Text
ÂÂ White on Black
ÂÂ Mono Audio
ÂÂ Speak Auto-text
ÂÂ Support for braille displays
With the exception of VoiceOver, these accessibility features work with all iPhone
apps, including third-party apps you download from the App Store. VoiceOver works
with all apps that come preinstalled on iPhone, and with many third-party apps.
For more information about iPhone accessibility features, go to

www.apple.com/accessibility.
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or off in Accessibility settings on iPhone.

You can also turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes when iPhone is connected
to your computer.
235
Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:
3 In the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section.
4 Select the accessibility features that you want to use and click OK.
Large Text can only be turned on or off using iPhone settings. See “Large Text” on
page 249.
You can turn closed captioning on or off in iPod settings. See “Videos” on page 105.
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone without
seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which
may be influenced by the Region Locale setting.
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as it’s selected. When an
element is selected, it’s enclosed by a black rectangle (for the benefit of those who can
see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing
rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor. If text is selected, VoiceOver reads the
text. If a control (such as a button or switch) is selected and Speak Hints is turned on,
VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for you—for
example, “double-tap to open.”
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and then selects and speaks
the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver
also lets you know when the screen changes to landscape or portrait, and when it is
locked or unlocked.
236 Chapter 29    Accessibility

Setting Up VoiceOver
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver
is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn
VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and
tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-Click
Home” on page 251.
Note: You can’t use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

Turn spoken hints on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
and tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. When Speak Hints is turned on, VoiceOver may
tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for you—for example, “double-
tap to open.” Speak Hints is turned on by default.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, and adjust the Speaking Rate slider.
Add speaking rate to the rotor: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap to
turn on “Include in Rotor.”
You can choose the kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set VoiceOver to
speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear both characters and
words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then speaks the whole word
when you finish it by entering a space or punctuation.
Choose typing feedback: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Typing Feedback. You can choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing
for software keyboards and for an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see “Using an Apple
Wireless Keyboard” on page 44).
Use phonetics In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then
tap the Use Phonetics switch to turn it on.
Use this feature when you type or read character-by-character,
to help make clear which characters were spoken. When Use
Phonetics is turned on, Voiceover first speaks the character,
then speaks a word beginning with the character. For example,
if you type the character “f,” VoiceOver speaks “f,” and then a
moment later, “foxtrot.”
Use pitch change In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then
tap the Use Pitch Change switch to turn it on.
VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a
lower pitch when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher
pitch when speaking the first item of a group (such as a list or
table) and a lower pitch when speaking the last item of a group.
Chapter 29    Accessibility 237

By default, VoiceOver uses the language that’s set for iPhone. You can set a different
language for VoiceOver.
Set the language for iPhone: In Settings, choose General > International > Language,
then select a language and tap OK. Some languages may be influenced by the Region
Local setting. In Settings, choose General > International > Region Format and select
the format.
Set the language for VoiceOver: In Settings, choose General > International >
Voice Control, then choose the language.
If you change the language for iPhone, you may need to reset the language for
VoiceOver.
Set the rotor options for web browsing: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Web Rotor. Tap to select or deselect options. To change the position of an
item in the list, touch next to the item, then drag up or down.
Select the languages available in the Language rotor: In Settings, choose General
> Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor and tap to select the language or
languages you want to appear in the Language rotor. To change the position of a
language in the list, touch next to the language and drag up or down.
The Language rotor is always available when you’ve selected more than one language.
VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have different effects.
These and some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control
individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and
three-fingers gestures to tap or flick. For best results when using two- and three-finger
gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and
holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are
in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger. Then VoiceOver gestures resume.
You can use different techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
enter a two-finger tap using two fingers from one hand, or one finger from each hand.
You can also use your thumbs. Many find the “split-tap” gesture especially effective:
instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with
one finger, then tap the screen with another finger. Try different techniques to discover
which works best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
When VoiceOver is turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you
a chance to practice VoiceOver gestures before proceeding.

Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done.
If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigating and Reading

ÂÂ Tap: Speak item.
ÂÂ Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
ÂÂ Flick up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Rotor Control” on
page 240.
ÂÂ Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
ÂÂ Two-finger flick up: Read all from the top of the screen.
ÂÂ Two-finger flick down: Read all from the current position.
ÂÂ Two-finger “scrub”: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a
“z”) to dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen.
ÂÂ Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
ÂÂ Three-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
ÂÂ Three-finger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
ÂÂ Four-finger flick up: Select the first element on the screen.
ÂÂ Four-finger flick down: Select the last element on the screen.
Activating
ÂÂ Double-tap: Activate the selected item.
ÂÂ Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.
ÂÂ Split-tap: An alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping is to touch an item
with one finger, then tap the screen with another to activate an item.
ÂÂ Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”):
Activate the item.
ÂÂ Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the subsequent gesture as
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting your finger,
drag your finger to slide a switch.
ÂÂ Two-finger double-tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice

Rotor Control
The rotor control is a virtual dial that you can use to change the results of up and
down flick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
The current setting appears on the screen and is spoken aloud.
The effect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading
text in an email you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text
spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you flick up or down. If you’re
browsing a webpage, you can use the rotor setting to hear all the text (either word-by-
word or character-by-character), or to jump from one element to another of a certain
type, such as headers or links.
The following lists show the available rotor options, depending on the context of what
you’re doing.

next by flicking left or right with a single finger. Elements are selected from left-to-
right, top-to-bottom. Flick right to go to the next element, or flick left to go to the
previous element.
Use four-finger gestures to select the first or last element on a screen.
ÂÂ Select the first element on a screen: Flick up with four fingers.
ÂÂ Select the last element on a screen: Flick down with four fingers.
“Tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Double-tap anywhere on
the screen.
“Double-tap” a selected item when VoiceOver is turned on: Triple-tap anywhere
on the screen.
Speak the text of an element, character-by-character or word-by-word: With
the element selected, flick up or down with one finger. Flick down to read the next
character, or flick up to read the previous character. Use phonetics to have VoiceOver
also speak a word beginning with the character being spoken. See “Setting Up
VoiceOver” on page 237.
Twist the rotor control to have VoiceOver read word-by-word.
Adjust a slider: With a single finger, flick up to increase the setting or down to
decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.
Scroll a list or area of the screen Flick up or down with three fingers. Flick down to page
down through the list or screen, or flick up to page up. When
paging through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items
displayed (for example, “showing rows 5 through 10”).
You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of
paging through it. Double-tap and hold. When you hear a
series of tones, you can move your finger up or down to scroll
the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your finger.
Use a list index Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side.
The index can’t be selected by flicking between elements;
you must touch the index directly to select it. With the index
selected, flick up or down to move along the index. You can
also double-tap, then slide your finger up or down.
Reorder a list Some lists, such as Favorites in Phone, and Web Rotor and
Language Rotor in Accessibility settings can be reordered.
Select on the right side of an item, double-tap and hold
until you hear a sound, then drag up or down. VoiceOver
speaks the item you’ve moved above or below, depending
on the direction you’re dragging.
Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.

Rearrange the Home screen: On the Home screen, select the icon you want to move.
Double-tap and hold the icon, then drag it. VoiceOver speaks the row and column

You can hear iPhone status information by touching the top of the screen. This
information can include the time, battery life, Wi-Fi signal strength, and more.
Making Phone Calls with VoiceOver

Double-tap the screen with two fingers to answer or end a call. When a phone call
is established with VoiceOver on, the screen displays the numeric keypad by default,
instead of showing call options. This makes it easier to use the keypad to respond to a
menu of options when you reach an automated system.
Display call options: Select the Hide Keypad button in the lower-right corner and
double-tap.
Display the numeric keypad again: Select the Keypad button near the center of the
screen and double-tap.
Entering and Editing Text

When you enter an editable text field, you can use the onscreen keyboard or an
external keyboard connected to iPhone to enter text.
There are two ways to enter text in VoiceOver—standard typing and “touch” typing.
With standard typing, you select a key, then double-tap the screen to enter the
character. With touch typing, you touch to select a key and the character is entered
automatically when you lift your finger. Touch typing can be quicker, but may require
more practice than standard typing.

VoiceOver also lets you use the editing features of iPhone to cut, copy, or paste in a
text field.
Enter text:
1 Select a text field to bring up the onscreen keyboard.
You may need to double-tap to bring up the keyboard, if it doesn’t appear
automatically. VoiceOver will tell you if the text field “is editing” or if you need to
“double-tap to edit.”
If the field already contains text, the insertion point is placed either at the beginning
or at the end of the text. Double-tap to move the insertion point to the opposite end.
VoiceOver tells you the position of the insertion point.
2 Use the keyboard to type characters:
ÂÂ Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by flicking left or right, then double-
tap to enter the character. Or move you finger around the keyboard to select a key
and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another
finger to enter the character. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again
when the character is entered.
ÂÂ Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter
the character. If you touch the wrong key, move your finger on the keyboard until
you select the key you want. VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you
touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you lift your finger.
Note: Touch typing works only for the keys that actually enter text. Use standard
typing for other keys such as Shift, Delete, and Return.
VoiceOver tells you when it thinks you’ve misspelled a word.

Choose standard or touch typing: With VoiceOver turned on and a key selected on
the keyboard, use the rotor to select Typing Mode, then flick up or down.
Move the insertion point: Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the
insertion point by character, by word, or by line. By default, VoiceOver moves the
insertion point character-by-character.
Flick up or down to move the insertion point forward or backward in the text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character
that the insertion point moves across.
When moving the insertion point by word, VoiceOver speaks each word as you
move across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the end of
the traversed word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. When moving
backward, the insertion point is placed the end of the word preceding the traversed
word, before the space or punctuation that follows it. To move the insertion point
past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence, use the rotor to switch back to
character mode.

When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move
across it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the
next line (except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point
is moved to the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion
point is placed at the beginning of the line that’s spoken.
Delete a character: Select the , then double-tap or split-tap. You must do this
even when touch typing. To delete multiple characters, touch and hold the Delete
key, then tap the screen with another finger once for each character your want to
delete. VoiceOver speaks the character as it’s deleted. If Use Pitch Change is turned on,
VoiceOver speaks deleted characters in a lower pitch.
Select text: Set the rotor to Edit, flick up or down to choose Select or Select All, then
double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is selected
when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text is selected.
Pinch apart or together to increase or decrease the selection.
Cut, copy, or paste: Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected, flick up or
down to choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.
Undo: Shake iPhone, flick left or right to choose the action to undo, then double-tap.
Enter an accented character: In standard typing mode, select the plain character,
then double-tap and hold until you hear a sound indicating alternate characters have
appeared. Drag left or right to select and hear the choices. Release your finger to enter
the current selection.
Change the language you’re typing in: Set the rotor to Language, then flick up or
down. Choose “default language” to use the language specified in International settings.
Note: The Language rotor appears only if you select more than one language in the
VoiceOver Language Rotor setting. See “Setting Up VoiceOver” on page 237.

and-drag gesture, described below), iPhone automatically returns to that magnification
when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the
screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t
lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once
you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
Move around the screen: When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers.
Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more
of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of
the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see “Using an Apple Wireless
Keyboard” on page 44), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the
center of the display.
Large Text
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail,
Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point,
or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap
the text size you want.

White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone screen, which may make it
easier to read the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a
photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the
“White on Black” switch.
Mono Audio
Mono Audio combines the sound of the left and right channels into a mono signal
played on both sides. This enables users with hearing impairment in one ear to hear
the entire sound signal with the other ear.
Turn Mono Audio on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the
Mono Audio switch.

Speak Auto-text
Speak Auto-text speaks the text corrections and suggestions iPhone makes when
you’re typing.
Turn Speak Auto-text on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap
the Speak Auto-text switch.
Speak Auto-text also works with VoiceOver or Zoom.

Hearing Aid Compatibility
The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones.
These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard
for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings: an “M” rating for reduced
radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that don’t
operate in telecoil mode, and a “T” rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids
operating in telecoil mode. These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where
four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC
rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
For current iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, go to

www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings aren’t a guarantee that a particular hearing aid works
with a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t
meet particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone,
use them together before purchasing them.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the
wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing
aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in
different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear
any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Backing Up iPhone
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information
on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software
restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. See “Updating and Restoring
iPhone Software” on page 256.
Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content and
other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and apps that you
download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded
apps and data, and other information on iPhone. After you restore iPhone, you need to
sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on iPhone.
See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 257.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with
iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPhone when you:
ÂÂ Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPhone each time you connect iPhone to your computer.
See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 57. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPhone
that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. You can also sync manually by
clicking Sync in iTunes. Note that iTunes creates a backup only once each time
iPhone is connected to your computer, before the first sync that occurs. If you sync
again, iTunes doesn’t create another backup.
ÂÂ Update iPhone
iTunes backs up iPhone before updating iPhone, even if it isn’t configured to sync
with iTunes on that computer.
ÂÂ Restore iPhone (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPhone before restoring it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
Removing a Backup
You can remove a backup of iPhone from the list of backups in iTunes. You may want
to do this, for example, if a backup was created on someone else’s computer.
Remove a backup:
1 In iTunes, open iTunes Preferences.
ÂÂ Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
ÂÂ Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
2 Click Devices (iPhone doesn’t need to be connected).

4 Confirm you wish to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
5 Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
Updating and Restoring iPhone Software

You can use iTunes to update or restore iPhone software.
ÂÂ If you update, the iPhone software is updated. Your downloaded apps, settings, and
data aren’t affected.
Note: In some cases, an update may also involve restoring iPhone.
ÂÂ If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, settings are restored
to their default, and all data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded
apps, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. If
you’ve backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data from
the backup at the end of the restore process.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but it isn’t erased
from iPhone. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
