Phone did not appear in visual studio

问题:

I am new to Windows Phone 8 development. I have registered (unlocked) my phone in Windows Phone Developer registration. And I can see the phone in File Explorer. But when I launch MSVC 2013 Update 2 and open DirectX 3D shooting game sample, I can only see a plenty of emulators in dropbox and I don't see my phone.

What could be wrong?

I did not register as a Windows phone developer yet because it requires me to pay, but I hope I should be able to launch Microsoft's samples on real device without paying?

Did you google this?
