Verify your account

After you finish setup, look for an email on your computer at the address you used for your HP webOS Account. If you don't see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail folder in your desktop email program. Click the link in the email to verify your account.

What is an HP webOS Account?

Your HP webOS Account gives you the following benefits:

•Automatic system and software updates are sent to your smartphone.

•An HP webOS Account is automatically created for you on your smartphone. In this account you can store Contacts and Calendar info that you don't store in online accounts like Google or Exchange.

NOTE You cannot access HP webOS Account data on the account website. You can access the data on your smartphone only.

•Info stored in your HP webOS Account, as well as info you have in applications on your smartphone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically backed up to the webOS servers.

•If your smartphone is lost or stolen, open the web browser on your computer, sign in to your HP webOS Account on hpwebos.com/ account and do a remote erase of the info on the smartphone.

NOTE If you want to erase data on your smartphone while you are still in possession of the smartphone—for example, before you give it to someone else—don't do a remote erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the smartphone itself (see Erase data and reset your smartphone).

For detailed information about your HP webOS Account, see Backup.

Although you create an HP webOS Account by entering a valid email address, setting up an HP webOS Account is different from setting up email on your smartphone. To set up email, see Set up email. To change your HP webOS Account information after you have set it up, see Update your HP webOS Account settings.

Charge the battery

When the battery is very low, the battery icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon appears full and changes to green .

WARNING Use only chargers that are approved by HP with your smartphone. Failure to use a charger approved by HP may increase the risk that your smartphone will overheat, catch fire or explode, resulting in property damage, serious bodily injury or death. Use of unapproved third-party power supply accessories may damage the device and void the Limited Warranty for the product.

Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your smartphone until the battery icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen is full to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

See Maximising battery life for tips on making your battery's power last longer.
