Notice regarding use of your water
>1m
resistant phone
In order for your phone to be water resistant, all covers must be firmly closed.
Do not use your phone in the following conditions:
Ocean water Swimming
Diving
pool water*
Hot water Sand/mud Other liquid
chemicals
* Swimming pool water may contain chemicals that impact your phone's ability to
resist water.
For more information, read the User guide in the phone, or go to
www.sonymobile.com.
IP (Ingress Protection) rating
Your phone has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to
measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP
rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The
second digit indicates how resistant the phone is to water. The higher the numbers,
the higher the respective protection.
The IP ratings of your phone are IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X. This means that your phone is
dust protected and is protected against the effects of immersion and low pressure
water stream. So you can use the phone in extreme weather conditions, for example,
when it's snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high. You can also use the
phone in dusty or sandy environments, and when your fingers are wet. See the table
for more details.

Android™ – what and why?
An Android™ phone can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you
can customise it to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete
applications, or enhance existing applications to improve functionality. You can also
integrate applications on your Android™ phone with other applications and with
online services that you use. For example, you can back up your phone contacts,
access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of
your appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ phones are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
and your phone supports this new software, you can update your phone to get new
features and the latest improvements.
New software releases may not be compatible with all phones.
Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there
are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.

Battery
Charging the battery
Your phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. When you connect the
phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB port or a phone charger, it
may take a few minutes before the battery icon
still use your phone while it is charging. Charging the phone over a long period of
time, for example, overnight, does not damage the battery or the phone.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time when the phone charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result
in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.
To charge the phone

1
Plug the phone 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 phone, with
the USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging
starts. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the LED lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power
source.
4
When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect
the USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not
to bend the connector when removing the cable from the phone.
Use the charger and USB cable provided with the phone to ensure faster charging.
Notes on USB cable usage and battery charging
•
To charge your phone, Sony strongly recommends that you use only Sony branded
original batteries, a power supply which is in accordance with specification YD/T
1591-2006 (a Communications Industry standard of P. R. China), and the USB cable
supplied with your phone. The use of third-party products may decrease the
performance of your phone and/or pose a risk to your health or safety
Actual charging times may vary. When tested in laboratory conditions, the approximate
charging time for an empty battery is around 3 hours when utilizing the charger recommended
by Sony for your phone. Interrupted charging does not damage the battery. Performance
depends on temperature, signal strength, usage patterns, features selected and voice or data
transmissions. The standby time for this battery is up to 300 hours in GSM network; up to 400
hours in CDMA 2000 network (the test results are based on GSMA battery life test
technology).
Use only Sony branded original batteries intended for use with your mobile phone. If you use
other batteries you may not be able to charge your phone.

Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
16
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
•
Charge your phone often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery.
•
Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. When you're not using the
Internet, you can save power by disabling all data connections over mobile networks.
This setting does not prevent your phone from transmitting data over other wireless
networks.
•
Turn off GPS, Bluetooth™ and WLAN when you don't need these features. You can
turn them on and off more easily by adding the Quick settings widget to your Home
screen. You do not need to turn off 3G.
•
Use the Power Saver feature to reduce battery consumption. You can select the
power saving mode that best suits the way you use your phone. 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 the phone to see which applications use the most
power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
applications. Some applications also consume more power.
•
Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your phone or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with
no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone 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 the phone's loudspeakers.
•
Keep your phone in standby whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time
during which the phone is connected to the network and is not being used.
•
Disable any live wallpaper.
•

Using the touchscreen
A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen of your phone when you buy it.
You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the
touchscreen might not function properly.
When your phone 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 your phone content.
Your phone 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.
