    We are going to press and hold the power button
    .
    We will feel a vibration. We will see the Lenovo and Android logos ("POWERED BY Android"). Now after a moment, the phone will power up with a chime sound. Once the phone plays a chime, it will have been started up for the first time. The first option will read, "Start your Lenovo adventure".

    We are required to choose a language
    .
    In this video, "English" is the default option. We may wish to choose a different language. For the first phone set-up, it is not recommended to choose a language that is not the first or primary language for the user.

Questions and Answers

How to rerun start up wizard please?

So the genius in the phone shop turned on the phone and skipped out the setup wizard now I can't find it to run it again. Any ideas on how to rerun it rather than going and finding each section to update the info?
