PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identity Number) for your SIM card to start your phone and activate services. When you enter your PIN, each digit appears as *, unless it starts with the same digits as an emergency number, for example 112. This allows for emergency calls without entering a PIN. Press to correct mistakes.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, PIN blocked appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) % 73 SIM card lock.

Battery

Some functions use more battery power than others and may cause a need for more frequent re-charging. If talk time or standby time becomes noticeably shorter, you may have to replace the battery. Only use approved batteries from Sony Ericsson % 84 Battery.
