Supported services and features
Some of the services and features described in this User guide are not supported by all networks
and/or service providers in all areas. Without limitation, this applies to the GSM International
Emergency Number 112. Please contact your network operator or service provider to determine
availability of any specific service or feature and whether additional access or usage fees apply.
Charging the phone
Your phone battery is partly charged when you but it. There are two ways to charge the
battery.
It may take 30 minutes for the battery icon to appear on the screen.
To charge the phone using the power adapter
•
Connect your phone to a power outlet using the USB cable provided and the power
adapter.
To charge the phone using a computer
•
Connect your phone to a USB port on a computer using the USB cable provided.
If your phone is powered off it will turn on automatically when you connect it to a computer using
the USB cable.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level
below 100 percent.
Note
•
To charge your phone, Sony Ericsson strongly recommends that you use only
Sony Ericsson 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
You can charge the battery for more or less than 3 hours. Interrupted charging does not damage
the battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features
selected and voice or data transmissions. The stand-by time for this battery is up to 415 hours
in GSM network; up to 485 hours in UMTS network (the test results are based on GSMA battery
life test technology).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use with your mobile phone. If
you use other batteries you may not be able to charge your phone.
Maximising battery performance
•
Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.
•
If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks.
This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your
phone temporarily.
•
Turn off 3G and Bluetooth™ wireless technology when you do not need these functions.
