Setup guide
The first time you start your phone, a setup guide helps you get things started with all
essential phone settings. Take the opportunity to enter the settings so you can use the
phone to the full. You can also learn some of the phone's functions in this setup guide.
The setup guide helps you with:
•
Basic phone settings such as language, Internet, time and date.
The wireless network connection or Wi-Fi™ settings, speed up the connection and
decrease data transfer costs.
•
Application settings such as email setup, online service accounts, and transfer of your SIM/
memory card contacts. You can enter your personal details for all the available online
service accounts in one place.
To use the contacts you import from your SIM/memory card with a synchronization account, you
need to set up the synchronization account first. If you do not want your SIM/memory card
contacts to be synchronized, then you should import the contacts from the SIM/memory card
before you set up the synchronization account.
If you skip the setup guide, you can set up the phone or change the settings later from the
Settings menu.

certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level
below 100 percent.

The Home screen is the starting point of your phone. You can personalize the Home
screen by adding widgets, or by changing the wallpaper and the applications in the corners.
When you add more than one widget, the Home screen extends beyond the screen width.
The corners on the Home screen are used to access applications or bookmarks quickly.
You can add any application or bookmark to the corners.
When you go to the Home screen, some applications may continue to run in the background. If
you do not want applications to run in the background, you should exit each application you have
opened before going to the Home screen.
A widget is a part of an application on the Home screen. It displays important information from
a particular application. For example, the Sony Ericsson Timescape™ widget displays incoming
messages and the Media widget allows you to start playing music directly.

Telephone Typewriter (TTY)
Telephone Typewriter (TTY) is a telecommunications device for deaf or speech impaired
people which allows text communication on a standard phone call to be transmitted to
another phone. If you use a TTY (Telephone Typewriter) device, you can enable your phone
to communicate with it.
In the Phonebook application, you can enter information for your personal contacts, for
example, phone numbers and email addresses. When you view a contact, you get quick
access to all communication with that contact.
If you have set up your phone for use with a synchronization service account, you can
synchronize your phone contacts with the account contacts. When you create or import
contacts, you are asked to select if you want to synchronize the newly created or imported
contacts with the account, or if you only want to use them in the phone (Phone contact). See
Synchronizing on page 58.
To view your contacts
•
From the Home screen, tap to open the Phonebook application.
If you have not set up your phone for synchronization with a web service, or imported SIM
contacts, you can choose to do so the first time you open the Phonebook application. If you
want to use the contacts you import from your SIM/memory card with a synchronization service,
you need to set up the synchronization with the service before you import the contacts from the
SIM/memory card.
Getting contacts into your phone
You can get existing contact information into your phone in several different ways.
•
You can use a synchronization service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™.
This way, you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone, or by using a computer.
If you want to use contacts with a synchronization account later, but you want to transfer
the contacts using any of the methods below, make sure you set up the synchronization
before you transfer the contacts to your phone.
•
You can import contacts from a SIM card. Not all information may be possible to transfer
from one phone to another this way, due to the limited memory on a SIM card. Also, some
phones do not support export of contacts to a SIM card.
•
You can import contacts from a memory card. It may not be possible to transfer contacts
from one phone to another this way, since some phones do not support import or export
of contacts to a memory card.
•
You can use a Bluetooth™ connection. If you want to use this method for transferring
contacts from one phone to another, note that some phones need to have a SIM card
inserted to use the Bluetooth™ function.
•
You can send contacts using messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all
phones support sending of contacts using messaging services.

Tips when using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you
achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it
against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range
is about four steps from the subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos.
Try different positions.
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
cloth to clean the lens.

You can get your location determined either by using wireless networks or GPS technology.
Wireless networks technology determines your position fast but accuracy may vary. If you
use GPS technology it may take a little longer, but it will find your exact position. You can
enable both wireless networks and GPS to benefit from both technologies when trying to
find your position.
Using GPS technology
Your phone has a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Some
GPS features use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you
have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few
minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not
cover the GPS antenna. The position of the GPS antenna is shown in the image below. The
first time you use the GPS receiver, it may take up to 10 minutes before your location is
found.
If you cannot use some GPS features, see I cannot use Internet-based services on page 94.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services, including but not limited
to navigational services.
