Detach the cover for the nano SIM card and memory card slots.
2
With the gold coloured contacts facing down, insert the nano SIM card into the
nano SIM card slot.

Re-attach the cover.
Do not insert a nano card which has been cut from a micro SIM card or a standard SIM card.
The size of such a cut card may be slightly different and could therefore damage your device,
if inserted.
To insert the memory card
1
Detach the cover for the nano SIM card and memory card slots.
2
With the gold coloured contacts facing down, insert the memory card into the
memory card slot, then re-attach the cover.

Starting your device for the first time

when you purchase it, for example, Gmailâ„¢, Google Mapsâ„¢, YouTubeâ„¢ and the
Play Storeâ„¢ application, which gives you access to the Google Playâ„¢ online store
for downloading Androidâ„¢ applications. To get the most out of these services, you
need a Googleâ„¢ account. For example, a Googleâ„¢ account is mandatory if you want
to:
•
Download and install applications from Google Playâ„¢.
•
Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar.

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 21.
