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.

Accounts and services
Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when
you're on the move. You can sign up to new online services from your device as well
as from a computer.
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.
®
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.
Using multiple user accounts
To add a new user
1
Make sure you are logged in as the owner, that is, the user who set up the
device for the first time.
2
Drag the status bar downwards, then tap
3

4
Tap OK > Set up now. An icon representing the newly added user appears on
the lock screen.

•
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

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.
Notes on USB cable usage and battery charging
•
To charge your device, Sony strongly recommends that you use only Sony branded
original batteries, a power supply and the USB cable supplied with your device. The
use of third-party products may decrease the performance of your device 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 device. 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 890 hours (the test results are based
on GSMA battery life test technology).
Battery notification light status
Green The battery charge level is greater than 90%
Flashing red The battery level is low
Orange The battery is charging and the battery charge level is less than 90%
To check the battery level
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > About tablet > Status > Battery level.
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 WLAN 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. Some applications 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 WLAN 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.
To activate STAMINA mode
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Power management.
3
Tap next to STAMINA mode, then tap Activate.

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.

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.
