Entering your PIN

Some SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile operator.

If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap enter.

If you enter the wrong PIN three times, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unblock it with the PUK (PIN Unlocking Key) obtained from your mobile operator.

Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running in no time.

On the Keep your life in sync screen, be sure to sign in with your Microsoft account so you can use services such as Windows Store, SkyDrive®, and more. If you don't have a Microsoft account, tap create one and follow the onscreen instructions.

You can also create a Microsoft account from your computer by going to signup.live.com.

Account setup

Depending on the type of email account that you set up, other items such as contacts, calendar, or other information can appear on your phone as well. And when you sign in to your social networking accounts, you'll also get your friends' status updates and see the pictures they've posted.
