Introduction
To get the most up-to-date User guide for your accessory, go to
www.sonyericsson.com/support.
LiveView™ micro display mirrors and displays the events that happen in your phone, so
you never miss what is going on. On your LiveView™ screen, you can view notifications
such as text messages, multimedia messages, incoming calls, calendar event reminders,
updates from friends on Facebook™, and tweets.
You decide what you want to keep track of by selecting the notification categories in the
LiveView™ application.
LiveView™ uses a Bluetooth™ connection to communicate with your phone.
The LiveView™ device lets you open notifications on both the mini display and on your
phone so that you can first read the notification on the mini display before, for example,
replying to it using your phone.
LiveView™ only displays events that happen in your phone after LiveView™ is connected.
This User guide focuses on using LiveView™ with a Sony Ericsson Android™ mobile phone.

LiveWare™ manager
Before using your LiveView™ device, make sure LiveWare™ manager is installed on your
phone. LiveWare™ manager detects smart Sony Ericsson accessories and identifies what
software should be used with them. It then takes you to Android Market™ to download the
appropriate software. LiveWare™ manager requires Android™ version 2.0 or later. If you
are using an older version than Android™ 2.0 (typically 1.6), you need to update it to the
latest official software version. See To check the phone software version on page 4.
If LiveWare™ manager is not installed in your phone, you should download it by searching for
pname:com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware in Android Market™ or by scanning the barcode
provided in this User guide. See Barcode on page 6.
