WELCOME HOME TO MOTOROLA ANDROID

Switching from an Apple or Blackberry phone? Get all

your important information set up on your new Motorola

Android smartphone in a few easy steps. The Welcome

Home To Motorola Android application transfers

contacts, email addresses, calendar meetings, events,

tasks, music, playlists, photos, and videos from your old

phone to your new Motorola smartphone.

To migrate data from your old phone to your Motorola

smartphone:

1Use your computer browser to navigate to

www.markspace.com/welcomehome/, and download

the free Microsoft® Windows® or Apple Macintosh

version of the Welcome Home To Motorola

application to your computer.

2Install and run the application on your computer.

3Follow the application instructions on your computer

to transfer data from your old phone to your Motorola

smartphone.

The Welcome Home To Motorola application will prompt

you to connect your old phone to the computer with a

USB cable, and backup the data you want to transfer.

5Let’s go

Next, you will be instructed to install the

Welcome

Home: Motorola Android

app on your Motorola

smartphone, connect the smartphone to your computer

with a USB cable, then transfer and unpack the data

onto the Motorola smartphone.

Wi-Fi connect

If you want to use a Wi-Fi network for even faster

Internet access, touch the status bar at the top of the

home screen and drag it down. Touch the

Wi-Fi

networks available

notification to select a preferred

network.

You can also touch Menu >

Settings

Wireless &

networks

Wi-Fi settings

to search for and connect to

wireless networks. There’s more in “Wi-Fi networks” on

page 43.

Wi-Fi enhanced connectivity

Wi-Fi Enhanced Connectivity offers a seamless

transition between connections when you switch from

the Verizon network to a Wi-Fi network.

When you launch an Internet-capable app like the

browser, your smartphone scans for available Wi-Fi

networks even when Wi-Fi is turned off, and prompts

you to connect to an available Wi-Fi network. If you have

a usage-based data plan, you can save on your

subscribed monthly data allowance by using a Wi-Fi

connection rather than the Verizon network.

Cool content & more

Browse and download thousands of the coolest apps on

the planet from Android Market™.

Download new apps with “Browse & install apps” on

page 12. An optional microSD memory card can be

installed in your smartphone—you can load it up with

photos, videos, and music from your computer (see

“Memory card” on page 46).

Remove the rear cover

If you need to access the micro SIM card or

insert/remove a microSD memory card, please follow

these rear cover removal instructions.

Insert the rear cover removal tool (packaged with your

smartphone) in the hole near the back camera lens to

unlock the rear cover, and slide the cover down at the

same time to remove.

6Touchscreen & keys
