Your first Lumia?
Let’s get started. Set up your new phone, explore your phone’s views and menus, and learn how to
use the touch screen.
Set up your phone
Make the most out of your phone’s features from the get-go.
When you turn your phone on for the first time, your phone guides you to set up your network
connections, phone settings, and Microsoft account in one sitting.
You need a Microsoft account to back up and restore your phone, to buy, install, and update apps,
and to access some Microsoft services, such as:
•Xbox
• Xbox Music and Xbox Video
•OneDrive
•Hotmail
• Outlook
You can use the same username and password on your computer and phone.
1. Turn your phone on, and follow the instructions shown on your phone.
2. When asked, create a Microsoft account. If you already have an account for Microsoft services,
such as Xbox Live.com, Hotmail.com, or Outlook.com, or you have created a Microsoft account on
your Surface tablet or Windows PC, sign in with that username.
Make sure you remember the credentials for the Microsoft account you added to your phone. You
need them if you want to reset your phone or change the reset protection settings. Reset protection
prevents a thief from resetting and reusing your phone if your phone gets stolen.
