To charge the battery

It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery icon appears when charging.

1 Connect the charger to the phone. The symbol

on the charger plug must face upwards.

2 It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery

icon appears on the screen.

3 Wait approximately 4 hours or until the battery

icon indicates that the battery is fully charged. If you do not see the battery icon after this time, press a key to activate the screen.

4 Remove the charger by tilting the plug

upwards.

Some functions use more battery power than others and may cause a need for more frequent re-charging. However, talk-time or standby time may become noticeably shorter due to wear and you may have to replace your battery. Only use approved batteries from Sony Ericsson

You may need a PIN (Personal Identity Number) to activate the services in your phone. The PIN is associated with your SIM card, and not with the phone. Your PIN is provided by your network operator. When you enter your PIN, each digit appears as *, unless your PIN starts with the same digits as an emergency number, for example 112. This is so that you can see and call an emergency number without entering a PIN.

If you make a mistake while entering your PIN,

delete the number by pressing

If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key),
