Assembly
Your device only supports nano SIM cards. The nano SIM card and the memory card
share the same holder but have separate slots in the holder. Make sure you don’t
confuse the two. The combined SIM/Memory card slot allows you to use either a
memory card, or an additional SIM card.
To prevent data loss, make sure you turn off your device or unmount the memory card before
you drag out the holder to remove the nano SIM card (or cards) or memory card from the
device.

Screen protection
Before using your device, remove the transparent protection film by pulling up on the
protruding tab.
It is recommended to protect your device with a Sony-branded screen cover or
protector intended for your Xperia™ model. The use of third party screen protection
accessories may prevent your device from working by covering sensors, lenses,
speakers, or microphones and it can invalidate the warranty.
Starting your device for the first time
The first time you start your device, a setup guide opens to help you configure basic
settings, sign in to some accounts and personalise your device. For example, if you
have a Google™ account, you can sign in to it here and get set up straight away.

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 the
Play Store™ application, which gives you access to the Google Play™ 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™.
•
Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.
•
Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•
Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
•
Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperia™ or
Android™ Device Manager services.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to
http://support.google.com
It is crucial that you remember your Google™ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google™ account.
If you fail to give your Google™ username and password in such situations, your device is
locked. Also, if you have more than one Google™ account, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.
.
To set up a Google™ account on your device
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Accounts & services > Account sync > 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

To remove a Google™ account
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Tap Settings > Accounts & services > Account sync > Google.
3
Select the Google™ account that you want to remove.
4
Tap > Remove account.
5
Tap Remove account again to confirm.
If you remove your Google™ account, any security features that are linked to your Google™
account will no longer be available.
If you are lending your device to someone to use for an extended period, it is recommended
that you remove your Google™ account from the device.
Charging your device
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by
Sony or an authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart
the device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that voids your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending
on how long your device was 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. To read more about how to improve the battery
performance, see
Battery and power management
on page 30.
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 outwards. 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.

Device security
Making sure your device is protected
You can prevent other people from using your device without your permission. For
example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google™
account or screen lock information can use the device. To make sure that your device
is protected, it is important that you set a secure screen lock and add your Google™
account to your device. It is crucial that you remember both your screen lock
information and your Google™ account credentials. To make sure your device is
protected, you can:
•
Set a secure screen lock on your device, that is, a PIN, password, or pattern or
fingerprint screen lock to prevent anyone from resetting your device. For more
information, see
•
Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen
Screen lock
and/or wiped. For more information, see
page 10.
•
Activate either the “Protection by my Xperia” or the Android™ Device Manager web
service. Using one of these services, you can remotely locate, lock or erase a lost
device. For more information, see
Verifying the ownership of your device
Certain protection features require you to either unlock your screen with your PIN,
password, pattern, or enter your Google™ account information. Below are examples
of protection features and some of the required credentials:

at all.
You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to perform a Factory Data
Reset.
If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter the
username and password for a Google™ account associated with the service.

Screen lock
Fingerprint functionality is not available in the US market.
There are several ways to unlock the screen. The security level of each lock type is
listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
•
Swipe – no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
•
Pattern – draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
•
PIN – enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
•
Password – enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.

•
Fingerprint – place your registered finger on the power key to unlock your device
It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you
forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and
messages.
If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS) account on your Xperia™
device, the EAS security settings may limit the lock screen type to only a PIN or password.
This occurs when your network administrator specifies a specific lock screen type for all EAS
accounts for enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company
or organisation to check what network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.
