Your phone and accessories

Your Google™ Nexus One™ phone comes with a number of

accessories, including a headset and a protective pouch. 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.google.com/phone.
