Charging the battery

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. It may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the phone to a power source. You can still use your phone while it is charging.

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.

To charge the phone using the power adapter

•Connect the phone to a power outlet using the USB cable and the power adapter.

To charge the phone using a computer

1Connect the phone to a USB port on a computer using the USB cable included in the phone kit.

2Tap Charge phone.

Maximizing battery performance

You can use the following methods to improve your battery performance:

•Decrease the brightness of the screen.

•Charge your phone frequently. 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 can't move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily.

•Turn off 3G, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, and the Wi-Fi™ connection when you do not need these functions.

Go to www.sonyericsson.com/support to learn more about how to maximize the battery performance.

SIM card

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you get from your network operator, contains information about your subscription. Always turn off your phone and detach the charger before you insert or remove the SIM card.

You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services and functions in your phone. Each PIN digit appears as *, unless it starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911. You can call an emergency number without entering a PIN.

Memory

You can save content on a memory card and in the phone memory. Music, video clips, and photos are saved on the memory card while applications, contacts, and messages are saved in the phone memory.

Memory card

You may have to purchase a memory card separately.

Your phone supports a microSD™ memory card, which is used for media content. This type of card can also be used as a portable memory card with other compatible devices.

Without a memory card you can't use the camera, nor can you play or download music files and video clips.

Formatting the memory card

The memory card in your phone may be formatted in order to, for example, free memory.

All content on the memory card will be lost. Make sure you have made backups of everything you want to save before formatting the memory card. To backup your content you can copy it to your computer. For more information, refer to the chapter Connecting your phone to a computeron page 57 .

To format the memory card

1From the Home screen, drag upwards.

2Find and tap Settings > SD card, USB Mass Storage & phone storage > Unmount SD card.

3After you have unmounted the memory card, tap Format SD card > Erase everything.

Stereo portable handsfree

1Connect a portable handsfree.

2To answer a call, press the call handling key. If you are listening to music, it stops when you receive a call and resumes when the call has ended.

3To end a call, press the call handling key.

If a portable handsfree is not included with the phone, you may purchase it separately.

Notification LED

The Notification LED (Light emitting diode) is located at the top of the phone. It provides information on the phone status and on pending notifications.

LED status

Flashing red	The battery level is low.

Orange	The battery is charging. The level is between low and full

Flashing green	There is a pending message or a missed call notification.

Sensors

Your phone includes a light sensor and a proximity sensor. The light sensor is used to detect backlight for automatic LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The proximity sensor turns the touch screen off when your face touches the screen. This prevents you from unintentionally activating phone functions when you are engaged in a call.
