colored contacts facing down.

You must use a micro SIM card for your device to work correctly. Some standard-size SIM cards allow you to detach an integrated micro SIM card. Once you detach the micro SIM card from the standard-size SIM card, you cannot reattach it and use the standard-size SIM card again. If you do not have a micro SIM card, or if your current SIM card does not contain a detachable micro SIM card, contact your service provider for information on how to collect or exchange your SIM card.

Starting your device for the first time

You can also access the setup guide later from the Settings menu.

To turn on the device

Make sure the battery is charged for at least 30 minutes before you turn on the device for the first time.

Why do I need a Google™ account?

Your Xperia™ device from Sony runs on the Android™ platform developed by Google™. A range of Google™ applications and services is available on your device when you purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™, and Google Play™—the online store for downloading Android™ applications. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google™ account. For example, a Google™ account is mandatory if you want to:

• Download and install applications from Google Play™.

• Synchronize email, contacts, and the calendar.

• Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

• Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks.

For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to

www.sonymobile.com/support

To set up a Google™ account on your device

1 From your Homescreen, tap

2 Find and tap Settings > Add account > Google. 3 Follow the registration wizard to create a Google™ account, or sign in if you

already have an account.

You can also sign in to or create a Google™ account from the setup guide the first time you start your device. Or you can go online and create an account at

www.google.com/accounts

Charging your device

Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by Sony or an authorized Sony repair center. You should never try to open or take apart this device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your warranty.

This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending on how long it has been in the box before you purchased it, the battery level may be quite low. It is therefore recommended that you charge the battery for at least 30 minutes before starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it is charging. Read more about the battery and how to improve the performance in

and power management

on page 113.

Battery

To charge your device

1 Plug the charger into a power outlet. 2 Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a

computer).

3 Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with the

USB symbol facing up. The notification light illuminates when charging begins.

4 When the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable from your device by pulling

it straight outward. Make sure not to bend the connector.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light illuminates and the charging icon appears.

Internet and MMS settings

To send multimedia messages, or to access the Internet when there is no available WiFi® network, you must have a working mobile data connection with the correct Internet and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are some tips:

• For most mobile networks and operators, Internet and MMS settings come pre-installed

on your device. You can then start using the Internet and send multimedia messages right away.

• In some cases, you get the option to download Internet and MMS settings the first time

you turn on your device when a SIM card is inserted. It is also possible to download these settings later from the Settings menu.

• You can manually add, change or delete Internet and MMS settings on your device at

any time. If you change or delete an Internet or MMS setting by mistake, download the Internet and MMS settings again.

• If you cannot access the Internet over a mobile network or if multimedia messaging is not

working, even though the Internet and MMS settings have been downloaded successfully to your device, refer to the troubleshooting tips for your device at

www.sonymobile.com/support/

If STAMINA mode is activated to save power, all mobile data traffic gets paused when the screen is off. If this causes connection problems, try excluding some applications and services from being paused, or deactivate STAMINA mode temporarily. For more information, see
