Using your iPhone

Lesson 1:

Turning on, calling, and adding contacts with your iPhone

To turn on your iPhone you need to locate the button on the top right of your phone.

Press and hold the button until you see the apple logo appear on the screen. The apple logo indicates that your phone is loading. It may take a minute or two for the operating system to load.

Once your phone is on, you will see the iPhone interface as shown in the previous photo. There are many applications already downloaded onto your iPhone but for now all we want to do is add contacts and make a call.

To make a call, locate the green icon with the white phone. It is located on the bottom of your screen.

 Touch the icon to open the application. You will see this screen with the keypad open up.

Before you place any calls, you may want to add some contacts to your phone so you don't have to keep dialing the same numbers over and over again. To add a contact press the icon that says 'Contacts'. It is located at the bottom of the screen directly in the middle.

You will now see a screen that looks like this.

Now, press the plus sign at the top-right corner of the screen to begin adding contacts.

To add the first name of your contact press the text-box next to the word 'First'.

 A keyboard will appear at the bottom of the screen. When finished typing the first name press 'return' on the keyboard to move on to the next text-box.

When you are finished typing in contact info hit cancel at the top left of the screen (don't worry, your information will be saved) and you will now see your new contact. Press the new contact name you have just created to see all of the info you just typed in. To call your new contact, simply touch the phone number and the phone will begin dialing.

If you wish to call a new number that is not in your contacts, use the 'Keypad'. The keypad icon is located right next to the contact icon at the bottom of your screen. To call, dial a number and hit the green call button.
