• Samsung display and model description
• Display of the operator logo or Samsung logo
• Configuration home screen

In the configuration start screen you can do the following:

1. Change the language

2. Access special functions for people with disabilities

3. Continue with configuration

To change the language with which the initial configuration of the equipment will be carried out, you must do the following:

1. Select the arrow for the current language

2. Choose the language you want

3. Select the OK option

The special accessibility functions allow you to configure help options for people with some visual impairment. To configure them, you must do the following:

1. Select the Accessibility option on the home screen

2. Choose the option you want

Screen Reader: Allows you to configure an assistant with a virtual voice so that it can be an auditory indicator of what is shown on the screen.

Visibility enhancements: allows you to configure screen options to improve image contrast, enlarge the font size, or enlarge sections of the screen as if you had a magnifying glass.

To configure the virtual voice assistant you must activate the Voice assistant option. The system will ask for confirmation and after it the text on the screen will automatically be converted to speech.

The most important functions to configure are:

Magnification Window: enlarges the section that is selected on the screen, such as the magnifying glass function

Font size and style: allows you to configure the size and options of the font (font, bold) with which the text is displayed on the screen.

Screen Zoom: allows you to enlarge the entire screen by a desired percentage.

To continue with the configuration after having enabled the special functions or changing to the required language, you must do the following:

1. Select the Next arrow displayed on the home screen.

2. Read the privacy policy and select the option "I have read and accept all of the above."

3. Select the Next option.

The displayed screen will allow you to indicate whether as part of the configuration procedure you will be transferring from your old Smartphone to the new one. It is recommended at this point that the option "Skip for now" is selected and that after performing the initial configuration, the necessary information is restored.

It is important that you select the Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect to configure the equipment. Internet connection during the initial setup procedure is important to connect to Google and Samsung servers.

If you do not select a Wi-Fi network, internet access will be taken from your SIM card as long as you have an active data plan. In case you do not have internet access, all registration steps on the indicated servers will be skipped. This is not recommended since some of the equipment's operating options will be lost.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network at this point you must do the following:

1. Select the network with which you want to make a connection.

2. Enter the password to access the network.

3. Verify that the connection has been successful, showing the legend “Connected” under the selected network.

4. Select the Next option to continue.

The computer will connect to the Google servers and download the necessary updates to continue with the configuration procedure.

After downloading the corresponding updates, you will be asked to enter your Google account. Enter your Gmail email address and select Next.

If you do not have a Google account, in this step you can create one by selecting the "Create account" option. Skipping account creation or registration is not recommended as important computer functions such as syncs, email access, and application download will be lost.

After entering your email, the security policies and conditions of use of Google services will be displayed. After reading them, you must select the "I accept" option to continue. The information will be verified and will be registered in the corresponding server.

After a few seconds the computer will ask you to configure the way in which it will protect your computer. Setting this feature is important to prevent your computer from being easily accessed by third parties.

Among the most common forms of protection is the use of a PIN (a series of numbers), a password (an alphanumeric text) or a pattern (a figure formed by the union of certain points on the screen). However, depending on your Smartphone model, other forms of biometric protection such as fingerprint registration or facial recognition may be available.

Select the option you want and follow the options on the screen to make the corresponding settings. If you do not want to use a form of protection (not recommended) select the "Not now" option.

On the next screen you can consult the privacy policy and use of Google services to which you can access through your Gmail account entered previously.

Once you have read them, you must confirm that you agree. To do this, you must scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the "OK" option.

Now the equipment will show a screen requesting access to the Samsung account. Having a Samsung account is necessary to access necessary functions of the device such as cloud synchronizations and access to applications developed by Samsung.

Depending on the model of your Smartphone and the country where you purchased it, it is likely that you have free storage in the

cloud. If you do not configure or enter your account you will not be able to access this function.

Among the most important Samsung applications are Samsung Find My Mobile to locate your device in case of theft or loss

and Samsung Members to access news, tips for use, promotions, perform a unit diagnosis, apply optimizations to the operation or even report problems to the Samsung technical team.

If you do not have a Samsung account yet, select the "Create account" option and follow the instructions on the screen. If you already have one, you must do the following:

1. Enter your email address and password and select the login option.

You have now completed the initial setup of your Smartphone. Select the Finish option to have your computer load the user interface with the applications pre-installed on the computer.

From now on, you will be able to download other applications you want from the Play Store (as long as you have set up a Google account) and restore the information from your old computer with the above-mentioned methods.
