Charging the battery

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy it.

It may take 30 minutes for the battery icon to appear on the screen.

To charge the battery

1Connect the charger to the phone.

2Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Note

•If there are two USB cables in the kit (a USB cable for charging and a USB cable for data transfer), the USB cable for charging is only intended for charging your phone. Do not use it for transferring data. The USB cable for the USB charger is only intended for connection

to the AC adapter to charge your phone. It must not be used for connection to a PC. It can only be used for charging your phone. Never use it for charging accessories.

USB cable for charging

USB cable for transferring

•If there is only one USB cable in the kit, it is intended for charging your phone as well as transferring data.

•If there is only one USB cable for the USB charger in the phone kit, this USB cable is only intended for charging your phone.

•To charge your phone, Sony Ericsson strongly recommends that you use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries, a power supply which is in accordance with specification YD/T 1591-2006 (a Communications Industry standard of P. R. China), and the USB cable supplied with your phone. The use

of third-party products may decrease the performance of your phone and/or pose a risk to your health or safety.

You can charge the battery for more or less than 3

hours. Interrupted charging will not damage the battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features selected and voice or data transmissions. The stand-by time for this battery is up to 430 hours in GSM network; up to 446 hours in UMTS network (the test results are based on GSMA battery life test technology).

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use with your mobile phone. If you use other batteries you may not be able to charge your phone.

Maximising battery performance

•Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.

•If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks. This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily.

•Turn off 3G and Bluetooth™ wireless technology when you do not need these functions.

•Do not cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call.

Go to www.sonyericsson.com/support to learn more about how to maximise the battery performance.

After entering the first two strokes of the desired character, the component and character candidates that started with that stroke are displayed in the candidate row. Using components is a fast method for entering complex characters.
