Setup guide
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 Sony Entertainment Network account, you can sign in to it and start enjoying
music, videos and games from the Sony Entertainment Network on your device. Or
you can create a new account directly on your device.
You can also access the setup guide later from the Settings menu. To access the setup guide
on a device with multiple users, you must be logged in as the owner, that is, the primary user.
Sony Entertainment Network with Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited is not available in every
market. Separate subscription required. Additional terms and conditions apply.
To access the setup guide manually

From the Home screen, tap .
2

Setting a screen lock
Accounts and services
Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when
you're on the move. For example, you can integrate contacts from your Google™
account into your Contacts, so you have everything in one place. You can sign up to
new online services from your device as well as from a computer.
Google™ account
Having a Google™ account is key to using a range of applications and services with
your Android™ device. You need a Google™ account, for example, to use the
Gmail™ application in your device, to chat with friends using Hangouts™, and to
synchronise the calendar application on your device with your Google Calendar™.
You also need a Google™ account to download applications and games, music,
movies and books from Google Play™.
Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account
Synchronise your device with your corporate Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync
account. This way, you keep your work email, contacts and calendar events with you
at all times.
®
Facebook™ account
Facebook™ is a social networking service that connects you with friends, family and
colleagues around the world. Set up Facebook to work on your device so that you
can stay in touch from anywhere.
Multiple user accounts
Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in
separately to the device and use it. For example, different users can have different
home screen setups, wallpaper and general settings, as well as separate memory
storage. So they can install their own applications and store files such as music and
photos that only they can access. Multiple user accounts work well in situations
where different family or group members share the same device.
The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device.
The owner is the administrator or primary user. Once you are logged in as the owner,
you can add, change and delete other users via the Settings menu. You can add a
maximum of seven new users. As the owner, your account cannot be deleted.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can access the
external SD card.

for example, language, Wi-fi®, Airplane mode, NFC and Bluetooth®.
•
Some settings affect only the individual user’s space, for example, automatic data
syncing, screen lock, various accounts added, and wallpaper.
•
Some settings are visible only to the owner and affect all users, for example, VPN
settings.

Battery
Your device has an embedded battery.
Charging the battery
Your battery is partly charged when you buy your device. It may take a few minutes
before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the charger cable
to a power source, such as a USB port or a charger. You can still use your device
while it is charging. Charging your device over a long period of time, for example,
overnight, does not damage the battery or the device.
To charge your device
11
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
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 lights up when charging starts.
4
When the notification light is green, the device is fully charged. Disconnect the
USB cable from your device by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not to
bend the connector when removing the cable from the device.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light
lights up after you connect the charger cable to a power source.

Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•
Charge your device often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery.
•
Turn off Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® connections when you don't need these features.
You can turn them on and off more easily from the Notification panel by dragging
down the status bar.
•
Use the STAMINA mode and Low battery mode features to reduce battery
consumption. You can select the power saving mode that best suits the way you use
your device. You can also customise the settings of each power saving mode.
•
Set your synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and
contacts) to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically, but
increase the synchronisation intervals.
•
Check the battery usage menu in your device to see which applications use the most
power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
applications, such as YouTube™. Some applications downloaded from Google
Play™ may also consume more power.
•
Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your device or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with
no network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available
networks, and this consumes power.
•
Use a Sony™ original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices
demand less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.
•
Keep your device in standby whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time
during which your device is connected to the network and is not being used.
•
Disable any live wallpaper.
If you are using a device with multiple users, some tips may only be applicable to the owner,
that is, the primary user of the device.
To access the battery usage menu
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management > Battery.
Using the STAMINA mode feature
Activate the STAMINA mode feature to pause your Wi-Fi® connection, data traffic
and several power consuming applications when your screen is inactive. You can
also set up an applications list to allow some applications to keep running when your

screen is inactive. Once the screen becomes active again, all paused functions are
resumed.
If you are using a device with multiple users, you may need to log in as the owner, that is, the
primary user, to activate or deactivate the STAMINA mode feature.

1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management.
3

Estimating the standby time of your device
Standby time refers to the amount of time the battery can last when your device is
connected to the network but is not in active use. STAMINA mode, when activated,
continuously evaluates the remaining standby time, which can vary depending on
how you use your device. STAMINA mode is more effective in lengthening the
standby time if you keep the screen of your device locked. If you rarely lock the
screen, you may not see much improvement in battery performance.
When you use your device for the first time, the estimated standby time may not be accurate
since there is no previous usage history to estimate from.
To view the estimated standby time
1
From your Home screen, tap
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management.
.
Using Low battery mode
You can activate the Low battery mode feature to save power when the battery level
is low. This feature helps you to adjust the settings for screen brightness and data
traffic so that you can reduce battery consumption.
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can
adjust the settings for Low battery mode as well as activate or deactivate the feature. Changes
made by the owner affect all other users.
To activate Low battery mode
1

Using the touchscreen
A protective plastic sheet is already attached to the screen of your device when you
buy it. You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the
touchscreen might not function properly.
When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to
save battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on
the touchscreen when you are not using it. You can also set personal locks to protect
your subscription and make sure only you can access content on your device.
The device screen is made from glass. Do not touch the screen if the glass is cracked or
shattered. Avoid trying to repair a damaged screen yourself. Glass screens are sensitive to
drops and mechanical shocks. Cases of negligent care are not covered by the Sony warranty
service.
