Why do I need a Google™ account?

Your Xperia™ device from Sony runs on the Android™ platform developed by

Google™. A range of Google™ applications and services is available on your device

when you purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™ and Google

Play™, the online store for downloading Android™ applications. To get the most out

of these services, you need a Google™ account. For example, a Google™ account is

mandatory if you want to:

•

Download and install applications from Google Play™.

•

Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar.

•

Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

•

Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks.

For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to

Charging your device

Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by

Sony or an authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart

this device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your

warranty.

The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending

on how long it was in the box before you purchased it, the battery level may be quite

low. It is therefore recommended that you charge the battery for at least 30 minutes

before starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it

is charging. Read more about how to improve the battery performance in

Battery and

power management

on page 160.

GUID GUID-B501CA3C-BFC1-4AD2-A803-96B32D053043

Title Charging your device

Version 3.1.1

To charge your device

Plug the charger into a power outlet.

Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a

computer).

Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with

the USB symbol facing up. The notification light illuminates when charging

begins.

When the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable from your device by

pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not to bend the connector.

If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light

illuminates and the charging icon appears.

Multiple user accounts

Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in

separately to the device and use it. Multiple user accounts work well in situations

where you share the same device with other people or lend your device to someone

to use for a while. The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the

owner of the device. Only the owner can manage the accounts of other users. Apart

from the owner account, there are two different types of accounts:

•

Regular User: This account type is suitable for someone who regularly uses your

device.

•

Guest User: Enable the guest account option for someone who just wants to use your

device temporarily.

Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can allow

downloads from sources other than Google Play™.
