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™.

•Synchronize email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.

•Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

•Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web browser.

•Identify yourself as the authorized 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 .

2Find and tap Settings > Accounts > Add account > Google.

3Follow 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 only be replaced by Sony or an authorized Sony repair center. 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 the 26page.

If your device gets exposed to water, wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth and shake the device at least 15 times with the USB port facing downward. Repeat the procedure if moisture is still visible in the USB port. Only insert the USB cable into the USB port after the port has completely dried.

To dry the USB port

1Using a microfiber cloth, wipe away any excess moisture from your device.

2With the device held firmly and the USB port facing downward, shake the device vigorously at least 15 times.

3If moisture is still visible in the USB port, shake the device again several times.

4Use a microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture from the USB port.

To charge your device

1Plug the charger into a power outlet.

2Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a computer).

3Plug 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.

4When 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.

Red	The battery is charging and the battery charge level is less than 15%

Orange	The battery is charging and the battery charge level is less than 90%

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 on 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 screen lock to prevent anyone from resetting your device. For more information, see Screen lock on page 11 .

•Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen and/or wiped. For more information, see Why do I need a Google™ account? on page 8 .

•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 Finding a lost device on page 17 .

Verifying the ownership of your device

When your device is protected, you need to either unlock your screen with your PIN, password, pattern, or enter your Google™ account information depending on the protection features you are using. Below are examples of protection features and some of the required credentials:

Factory Data	You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to perform a Factory Data Reset.
Reset protection
Protection by my	If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter the username and
Xperia	password for a Google™ account associated with the service. The device must be
	connected to the Internet before the setup process can be completed. Otherwise, you will
	not be able to use your device after the reset.
Android™	If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter the username and
Device Manager	password for a Google™ account. The device must be connected to the Internet before
	the setup process can be completed. Otherwise, you will not be able to use your device
	after the reset.
Software repair	If you use the Xperia™ Companion software to perform a software repair, you’re asked to
	enter your Google™ account username and password when you start the device after the
	repair is complete.

For Android™ Device Manager, it is necessary to enter information from a Google™ account. This can be any Google™ account which you have set up on the device. If you cannot provide the relevant account information during a setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all.

Screen lock

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

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

– enter an alpha-numeric password 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 organization to check what network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.

Unlocking Your Device Automatically

The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you’re carrying it with you.

To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the following steps in the order given:

•Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi® connection to limit data traffic charges.

•Make sure all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order to ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.

•Enable Smart Lock.

•Set when you want your device to unlock automatically.

The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may change over time due to updates from Google™.

The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country, or region.

To Enable Smart Lock

1Make sure you’ve set a pattern, PIN, or password for your screen lock.

2From your Home screen, tap .

3Find and tap Settings > Security > Trust agents.

4Drag the slider beside Smart Lock (Google) to the right.

5Tap the back arrow next to Trust agents.

6Find and tap Smart Lock.

7Enter your pattern, PIN, or password. You need to enter this screen lock every time you want to change your Smart Lock settings.

8Select a Smart Lock type.

Setting When to Keep the Device Automatically Unlocked

You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:

•Trusted devices – keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® device is connected.

•Trusted places – keep your device unlocked when you' re in a trusted location.

•On-body detection – Keep your device unlocked when you' re carrying your device with you.

You have to manually unlock your device when you don' t use it for 4 hours and after you restart it.

Connecting to Trusted Bluetooth® Devices

You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a "trusted" device and keep your Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth® devices you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home entertainment system, a Bluetooth® watch, or a fitness tracker, you can add them as trusted devices and bypass

the added security of a lockscreen to save time. This feature is suitable if you’re normally in a relatively secure place when you use these devices. In some cases, you may still need to manually unlock your device before a trusted device can be connected.

It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.

As soon as a trusted Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks and you need your PIN, pattern, or password to unlock it.

To Add a Trusted Bluetooth® Device

1Make sure your device is paired and connected to the Bluetooth® device you want to add as a trusted device.

2In the Smart Lock menu, tap Trusted devices.

3Tap Add trusted device > Bluetooth.

4Tap a device name to select it from the list of connected devices. Only paired devices appear in this list.

5Depending on the security of your connection, you may need to manually unlock your device before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.

To Remove a Trusted Bluetooth® Device 1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices.

3Tap the device you want to remove.

4Tap Remove trusted device.

Making Sure You're Secure when Using Trusted Devices

Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security capabilities. There' s a chance someone could keep your Xperia™ device unlocked by imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no longer nearby. Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection is secure from someone trying to imitate it.

When your device can' t determine that you' re using a secure connection, you' ll get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.

Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device, the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors, Bluetooth® connections can work over distances of up to 325 feet (100 meters). If someone takes your Xperia™ device while it' s near a trusted device, they may be able to access your Xperia™ device if the trusted device has unlocked it.

Connecting to Trusted Places

When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lockscreen security on your Xperia™ device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature to work, you must have an Internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi® ) and allow your device to use your current location.

To set up trusted places, first make sure high-accuracy location mode or battery-saving location mode is enabled on your device before you add home or custom locations.

The exact dimensions of a trusted location are an estimate and may extend beyond the physical walls of your home or other area you have added as a trusted location. This feature can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 260 feet (80 meters). Also, be aware that location signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialized equipment could unlock your device.

Keeping Your Device Unlocked while You’re Carrying It

Using the On-body detection feature, you can have your device stay unlocked when you have it on you, for example, if you' re carrying it in your hand, pocket, or bag. The accelerometer in your device keeps your device unlocked when it senses that it' s being carried. The device locks when the accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.

The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

To enable On-body detection 1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > On-body detection.

3Drag the slider beside Off to the right, then tap Continue.

Using On-body Detection

When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following behaviors:

•When your device senses that it' s on your body, it stays unlocked after you unlock it.

•Any time you put your device down and it senses that it' s no longer on your body, your device locks automatically.

•After you put your device down, for example, if you place it on a table, your device can take up to one minute to lock.

•After you get into a car, bus, train, or other land vehicle, your device can take between 5 and 10 minutes to lock.

•Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or other non-land-based vehicles), your device may not lock automatically, so be sure to lock it manually if needed.

•When you pick up your device again or get out of the vehicle, just unlock it once and your device then stays unlocked for as long as you have it on you.

To turn off On-body detection 1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > On-body detection.

3Drag the slider beside On to the left.

Finding the identification number of your device

Your device has a unique ID (identification) number. You should keep a copy of this number. You may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™ Care support service and need to register your device.

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

2Place your fingernail just under the tip on the label tray, then drag out the tray. The ID number is displayed on the tray.

To View the Device ID Number via the Device Settings 1 From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > About tablet > Status.

3Scroll to IDID to view the ID number.

Finding a lost device

If you have a Google™ account, the “Protection by my Xperia” web service can help you locate and secure your device if you ever lose it. If you have activated this service on your device or at myxperia.sonymobile.com , you can:

•Locate your device on a map.

Lockdown Mode

Lockdown mode is a feature of the Protection by my Xperia service. It gets enabled when unusual activity is detected on your device. Once your device goes into lockdown mode, you must sign in to your Google™ account to reactivate your device and recover it from lockdown mode.

To prevent your device from being used or sold by thieves, lockdown mode does the following:

•Stops or disables all running applications.

•Limits access to notifications.

•Disables USB and Bluetooth® connections.

If you delete your Google™ account permanently via your Google™ Account Settings page at https://myaccount.google.com , it becomes impossible to recover your device from lockdown mode or deactivate the Protection by my Xperia service. If, for some reason, you delete your Google™ account in this way, you only have a limited amount of time in which to restore it.

Actions that trigger lockdown mode

Lockdown mode is triggered in the following situations:

•During a factory reset procedure.

•When Xperia™ Companion is used to wipe out user data.

•When the Google™ account that was used to activate Protection by my Xperia on your device gets removed from your device (but not permanently deleted).

•When someone removes or tampers with security features on your device, for example, when someone tries to input the credentials for the Google™ account that you’ve used to activate Protection by my Xperia on your device but fails more than three times in a row.

If you don't want lockdown mode to get triggered by any of the above actions or situations, you can deactivate the Protection by my Xperia service.

To Recover the Device from Lockdown Mode

1On the lockdown screen, tap Authenticate.

2To complete the recovery procedure, sign in using the Google™ account that was used to activate the Protection by my Xperia service.

Make sure you have a working Internet connection when recovering your device from lockdown mode.

2Find and tap Settings > Security > Protection by my Xperia.
