Getting started
About this user’s guide
For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your phone” chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions of the phone, shortcuts and general information.
More information and downloads are available at www.SonyEricsson.com or wap.SonyEricsson.com.
Note: Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are used interchangeably to refer to internet services.
Available services
Some services and functions described in this user’s guide are networkor subscription-dependent. Because of this, some menus may not be available in your phone.
This symbol indicates that a service or function is network or subscriptiondependent.
Please consult your network operator for more information about your subscription.
The SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with a network operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your phonebook information.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM card before you remove it from another phone. For example, phonebook entries may be saved in the phone memory.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
•Insert the SIM card.
•Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and battery information” on page 4.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.

3.Place the back cover into the bottom of the phone and slide it up until it clicks into place.
4.Connect the charger to the phone at the flash symbol. The flash symbol on the charger plug must face upwards.
