Setting Up Your Essential Phone
Upon powering up your device for the first time, you will be asked
to set up your new Essential Phone.
Follow the prompts to select a default language, connect to a Wi-
Fi network, add accounts, and more. The screen will also ask you
to sign in to your account to take advantage of the various
Android features on your Essential Phone.
This step can be skipped, if desired. Tap “Skip” when prompted to
sign in to an account.
Signing In Later
If you skipped the account sign-in process, you’re always free to
enter an account later. To do this, follow these steps:
1. From a Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom to open
the App Drawer button.
2. Open the Settings app and tap “Accounts.” Then tap “+
Add Account.”
3. Follow the prompts provided.
Factory Reset Protection:
By signing into your account, Factory Reset Protection will be
activated. This will prompt the system to ask for your login
information when your phone is turned on after a Factory Reset.
This protects your personal details should your device ever be
lost or stolen.
