Your phone and accessories

Your Google™ Nexus S™ phone comes with a number of accessories, including a headset, USB cable, and charger. For safety reasons, the battery is not shipped inside the phone, so you need to insert it and charge it fully before using your phone. This guide describes the parts of your phone, how to install and charge the battery, how to turn the phone on and off, and other useful information.

For more information about using the Android™ mobile technology platform that runs on your phone, including the basics of using it to place phone calls and how to use its applications to browse the web, read email, and so on, visit your carrier's support site and refer to the Android User's Guide, available from http://www.nexusshelp.com.

Open the phone's back cover

▶ Hold the device firmly and locate the cover release latch. The release latch has a small indentation, just large enough to insert a fingernail and is located above the camera lens. Place your fingernail in the opening and firmly lift the cover off the device.
