Using other networks

You may incur additional costs when you roam outside of your home network. For example, if you make calls or use messaging and Internet-based services in another network, you may have to pay more. Contact your operator for more information.

Help

In addition to this User guide, more information is available at www.sonyericsson.com/cn.

There are also help functions and a User guide in your phone. See the following instructions on how to access them.

To access the User guide in your phone

Select Menu > Settings > User help > User guide.

Supported services and features

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.

1

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.
