What is Android?

Android is your phone's operating system. Since it's
developed by Google™, your phone is preloaded
with several Google™ services, such as Google
Maps™ and Google™ web search. To use some of
the services provided by Google™, you need a
Google account. With a Google account you can
access Android Market™ – an application store
providing both free and paid applications for easy
download to your phone.

What is different about Android?

Android™ is an open system, which means that
you're not limited to using applications and services
from only one provider.

Google™ account

Use Gmail™ to send emails, Google Talk™ to chat
with friends, and Android Market™ to download
applications.

To add an account

1

From your Home screen, tap .

2

Tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add
account.

3

Tap the account type you want to add and then
follow the registration wizard.

Basic settings

The first time you start your phone, a setup guide
explains basic phone functions and helps you enter
essential settings. You can also access the setup
guide later.

To access the setup guide

1

From the Home screen, tap

Transferring contacts
from your old phone

When you buy a new phone, one of the first
challenges is to transfer your contacts and phone
numbers from your old phone. This procedure can
sometimes be complicated. In this section we give
you the big picture and outline solutions based on
the type of your old phone. We also tell you where
you can find detailed step-by-step instructions.

My old phone is a non­Android™ phone

Sony Ericsson

Transfer the contacts from your old Sony Ericsson
phone to your new phone in a few steps:

1

New phone: Connect your new phone to an

Internet-connected PC using a USB cable.

2

New phone: If prompted, tap the screen to launch

the installation of PC Companion on the PC.

3

PC: In PC Companion, select the option to

transfer or synchronize your contacts.

4

With your old phone and its USB cable at hand,
follow the instructions on the PC screen to transfer
your contacts from the old phone to your new one.

To view detailed step-by-step instructions, visit

www.sonyericsson.com/support/contacts.

Nokia

Transfer the contacts from your old Nokia
Symbian™ phone to your new phone in a few steps.

This method only works for Nokia phones using
the S60 platform.

1

New phone: Connect your new phone to an

Internet-connected PC using a USB cable.

2

New phone: If prompted, tap the screen to launch

the installation of PC Companion on the PC.

3

PC: In PC Companion, select the option to

transfer or synchronize your contacts.

4

With your old phone and its USB cable at hand,
follow the instructions on the PC screen to transfer
your contacts from the old phone to your new one.

To view detailed step-by-step instructions, visit

www.sonyericsson.com/support/contacts.

iPhone™

Transfer your iPhone™ contacts to your new phone
via a Google™ account:

1

Connect your iPhone to a PC and start the
iTunes™ application. Click the Info tab in
iTunes™ and select to sync the phone with
Google™ Contacts.
If you use a Mac® computer, you'll need to export
your contacts in vCard format from the Mac®
Address Book into a vCard file, and then import
the vCard file into your Google™ account.

2

Once your iPhone contacts are moved to your
Google™ account, you'll need to synchronize
your new phone with your Google™ account.

To view detailed step-by-step instructions, visit

www.sonyericsson.com/support/contacts.

Other phone

Transfer the contacts from your old phone to a
computer and then use Google Sync™ to transfer
the contacts to your new phone.

1

Old phone: Transfer the contacts from your old

phone to a computer. The most practical way to
do this is by using a memory card.

2

Make a note of where you copy the contacts file.
This kind of file is usually in vCard (.vcf) or a .csv
format.

3

Computer: Go to www.google.com/contacts and

sign in, or create a new Google™ account. Click
Import and browse to the location of the contacts
file, then click Open. Your contacts are now
stored in your Google account.

4

New phone: Set up your Google account to work

in the phone and then synchronize your contacts.

You can also use a mobile phone management
software application to transfer the contacts to
a computer.

To view detailed step-by-step instructions, visit

www.sonyericsson.com/support/contacts.

My old phone is an
Android™ phone

Transfer the contacts from your old Android phone
directly to your new phone with Google sync™:

1

Synchronize the contacts from your old phone
with your Google™ account, if you haven't done
so already. You can only synchronize contacts
that are saved as Google™ account contacts.

2

Set up your Google account to work in the new
phone. As part of the setup, your contacts get
downloaded to the phonebook application in the
phone.

If you have contacts in your phonebook that are
not saved as Google™ account contacts, you
must first export them to a memory card and
then import them again and save them as
Google™ account contacts in your phone.

features, please contact your network operator.

You can also contact our Contact Centers. If your country/region
is not represented in the list below, please contact your local
dealer. (Calls are charged according to national rates, including
local taxes, unless the phone number is a toll-free number.)

If your product needs service, please contact the dealer from
whom it was purchased, or one of our service partners. For
warranty claims, save proof of purchase.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please follow these guidelines. Failure to do so might entail a
potential health risk or product malfunction. If in doubt as to
its proper function, have the product checked by a certified service
partner before charging or using it.

Recommendations for care and safe use of our products

•

Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place.

•

Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

•

Do not expose to liquid or moisture or excess humidity.

•

For optimum performance, the product should not be
operated in temperatures below -10°C(+14°F) or above
+45°C(+113°F). Do not expose the battery to
temperatures above +60°C(+140°F).

•

Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products.

•

Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product.

•

Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the
product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel
should perform service.

•

Consult with authorised medical staff and the instructions of the
medical device manufacturer before using the product near
pacemakers or other medical devices or equipment.

•

Discontinue use of electronic devices, or disable the radio
transmitting functionality of the device, where required or
requested to do so.

•

Do not use where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.

•

Do not place the product, or install wireless equipment, in the
area above an air bag in a car.

•

Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or
splinters that could be harmful upon contact.

•

Do not use the Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is
uncomfortable or will be subject to pressure.

Children

Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to play with mobile phones or accessories. They could
hurt themselves or others. Products may contain small parts that
could become detached and create a choking hazard.

Power supply (Charger)

Connect the charger to power sources as marked on the product.
Do not use outdoors or in damp areas. Do not alter or subject the
cord to damage or stress. Unplug the unit before cleaning it. Never
alter the plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by an electrician. When a power supply is connected
there is a small drain of power. To avoid this small energy waste,
disconnect the power supply when the product is fully charged.

2

3

Use of charging devices that are not Sony Ericsson branded may
pose increased safety risks.

Battery

New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully
charge the battery before initial use. Use for the intended purpose
only. Charge the battery in temperatures between +5°C(+41°F)
and +45°C(+113°F). Do not put the battery into your mouth. Do not
let the battery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off the
product before removing the battery. Performance depends on
temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features selected
and voice or data transmissions. Only Sony Ericsson service
partners should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of
batteries that are not Sony Ericsson branded may pose increased
safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony Ericsson
battery that has been qualified with the product per the standard
IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Mobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce
risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of
15 cm(6 inches) between the phone and the device. Use the phone
at your right ear. Do not carry the phone in your breast pocket.
Turn off the phone if you suspect interference. For all medical
devices, consult a physician and the manufacturer.

Driving

Some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of phones in their
vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports
the installation. Check with the vehicle manufacturer's
representative to be sure that the mobile phone or Bluetooth
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full
attention should be given to driving at all times and local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving
must be observed.

4

GPS/Location based functions

Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location
determining functionality is provided “As is” and “With all faults”.
Sony Ericsson does not make any representation or warranty as to
the accuracy of such location information.

Use of location-based information by the device may not be
uninterrupted or error free and may additionally be dependent on
network service availability. Please note that functionality may be
reduced or prevented in certain environments such as building
interiors or areas adjacent to buildings.

Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner which causes
distraction from driving.

Emergency calls

Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely
upon mobile phones for essential communication. Calls may not be
possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network
services and/or phone features are used.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson could
damage the phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established limits. Do not cover the antenna with your
hand as this affects call quality, power levels and can shorten talk
and standby times.

Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR)

When the phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, it emits low
levels of radio frequency energy. International safety guidelines
have been developed through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons and to account for any
variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile

phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but because the phone is designed
to use the minimum power necessary to access the chosen
network, the actual SAR level can be well below this value. There is
no proof of difference in safety based on difference in SAR value.

Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must be certified
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). When
required, tests are performed when the phone is placed at the ear
and when worn on the body. For body-worn operation, the phone
has been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the
body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when
properly used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory and
worn on the body.

For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure,
go to: www.sonyericsson.com/health.

Flight mode

Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the device, can be
enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in
other areas where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorisation before enabling
Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm
the mobile phone or other computers. Malware or harmful
applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other
unwanted programs. While the device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant or
represent that the device will be impervious to the introduction of
malware. You can however reduce the risk of malware attacks by
using care when downloading content or accepting applications,
refraining from opening or responding to messages from unknown
sources, using trustworthy services to access the Internet, and
only downloading content to the mobile phone from known,
reliable sources.

5

6

Accessories

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories and certified
service partners. Sony Ericsson does not test third-party
accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio
performance, loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third­party accessories and parts may pose a risk to your health or
safety or decrease performance.

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

In the US, compatible Sony Ericsson phones may offer
compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of necessary accessory).
For more information call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center
on 877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or go to
www.sonyericsson-snc.com.

Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment

Electronic equipment and batteries should not be included
as household waste but should be left at an appropriate collection
point for recycling. This helps prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health. Check local
regulations by contacting your local city office, your household
waste disposal service, the shop where you purchased the product
or calling a Sony Ericsson Contact Center. Do not attempt to
remove internal batteries. Internal batteries shall be removed only
by a waste treatment facility or trained service professional.

Disposing of the battery

Check local regulations or call a Sony Ericsson Contact
Center for information. Never use municipal waste.

Memory card

If the product comes complete with a removable memory card, it is
generally compatible with the handset purchased but may not be
compatible with other devices or the capabilities of their memory
cards. Check other devices for compatibility before purchase or
use. If the product is equipped with a memory card reader, check
memory card compatibility before purchase or use.

7

Memory cards are generally formatted prior to shipping. To
reformat the memory card, use a compatible device. Do not use
the standard operating system format when formatting the memory
card on a PC. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
device or contact customer support.

Warning!

If the device requires an adapter for insertion into the handset or
another device, do not insert the card directly without the required
adapter.

Precautions on memory card use

•

Do not expose the memory card to moisture.

•

Do not touch terminal connections with your hand or any metal
object.

•

Do not strike, bend, or drop the memory card.

•

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the memory card.

•

Do not use or store the memory card in humid or corrosive
locations or in excessive heat such as a closed car in summer, in
direct sunlight or near a heater, etc.

•

Do not press or bend the end of the memory card adapter with
excessive force.

•

Do not let dirt, dust, or foreign objects get into the insert port of
any memory card adapter.

•

Check you have inserted the memory card correctly.

•

Insert the memory card as far as it will go into any memory card
adapter needed. The memory card may not operate properly
unless fully inserted.

•

We recommend that you make a backup copy of important data.
We are not responsible for any loss or damage to content you
store on the memory card.

•

Recorded data may be damaged or lost when you remove the
memory card or memory card adapter, turn off the power while
formatting, reading or writing data, or use the memory card in
locations subject to static electricity or high electrical field
emissions.

8

Protection of personal information

Erase personal data before disposing of the product. To delete
data, perform a master reset. Deleting data from the phone
memory does not ensure that it cannot be recovered.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant against recovery of information
and does not assume responsibility for disclosure of any
information even after a master reset.

Loudness warning!

Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing.

Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this
information has been removed or changed after the original
purchase of the Product from the dealer.

2.

If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repair for
the defect concerned, or the replaced Product shall be warranted
for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety
(90) days from the date of repair, whichever is longer. Repair or
replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent
reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become
the property of Sony Ericsson.

3.

This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to
normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, including but not limited
to use in other than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and
maintenance of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any
failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware
modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from
liquid.

A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged more
than a hundred times. However, it will eventually wear out – this is
not a defect and corresponds to normal wear and tear. When the
talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to
replace the battery. Sony Ericsson recommends that you use
only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.

Minor variations in display brightness and colour may occur
between phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots on the
display. These are called defective pixels and occur when
individual dots have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two
defective pixels are deemed acceptable.

Minor variations in camera image appearance may occur
between phones. This is nothing uncommon and is not regarded
as a defective camera module.

4.

Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is
provided by a carrier independent from Sony Ericsson,
Sony Ericsson will not be responsible for the operation,
availability, coverage, services or range of that system.

5.

This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by
installations, modifications, or repair or opening of the Product
performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorised person.

6.

The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been
caused by use of accessories or other peripheral devices which
are not Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended for
use with the Product.

Sony Ericsson disclaims any and all warranties, whether
express or implied, for failures caused to the Product or
peripheral devices as a result of viruses, trojan horses, spyware,
or other malicious software. Sony Ericsson strongly recommends
that you install appropriate virus protection software on your
Product and any peripheral devices connected to it, as available,
and update it regularly, to better protect your device. It is
understood, however, that such software will never fully protect
your Product or its peripheral devices and Sony Ericsson
disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, in case of
failure by such antivirus software to fulfil its intended purpose.

7.

Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the
warranty.

8.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN
OR ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL
SONY ERICSSON OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST
PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS TO THE FULL EXTENT
THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.

Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration

12

13

of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions
may not apply to you.

The warranty provided does not affect the consumer’s statutory
rights under applicable legislation in force, nor the consumer’s
rights against the dealer arising from their sales / purchase
contract.

*Geographical scope of the warranty

If you have purchased your Product in a country member of the
European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland or the Republic of
Turkey, and such Product was intended for sale in the EEA or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, you can have your Product serviced in
any EEA country or in Switzerland or in Turkey, under the warranty
conditions prevailing in the country in which you require servicing,
provided that an identical Product is sold in such country by an
authorised Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is
sold in the country you are in, please call the local Sony Ericsson
Contact Center. Please observe that certain services may not be
available outside the country of original purchase, for example,
due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior
which is different from equivalent models sold in other countries.
Please note in addition that it may sometimes not be possible to
repair SIM-locked Products.

** In some countries/regions additional information (such as a
valid warranty card) may be requested.
