Screen protection
Before using your device, remove the transparent protection film by pulling up on the

It is recommended to protect your device with a Sony-branded screen cover or

accessories may prevent your device from working by covering sensors, lenses,
speakers, or microphones and it can invalidate the warranty.
Starting your device for the first time
The first time you start your device, a setup guide opens to help you configure basic
settings, sign in to online accounts and personalise your device. For example, if you
have a Sony Entertainment Network account, you can sign in to it here and get set up
straight away.
You can also access the setup guide later from the Settings menu. To access the setup guide
on a device with multiple users, you must be logged in as the owner, that is, the primary user.
To turn on the device
Make sure that the battery is charged for at least 30 minutes before you turn on the device for
the first time.

Why do I need a Googleâ„¢ account?
Your Xperiaâ„¢ device from Sony runs on the Androidâ„¢ platform developed by
Googleâ„¢. A range of Googleâ„¢ applications and services is available on your device
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 using Gmailâ„¢.
•
Chat with friends using the Hangoutsâ„¢ application.
•
Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chromeâ„¢ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperiaâ„¢
Companion.
•
Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperiaâ„¢ or
Androidâ„¢ Device Manager services.
For more information about Androidâ„¢ and Googleâ„¢, go to
http://support.google.com
.
It is crucial that you remember your Googleâ„¢ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Googleâ„¢ account.
If you fail to give your Googleâ„¢ username and password in such situations, your device is
locked. Also, if you have more than one Googleâ„¢ account, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.
To set up a Googleâ„¢ account on your device
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Find and tap Settings > Accounts > Add account > Google.
3
Follow the registration wizard to create a Googleâ„¢ account, or sign in if you
already have an account.
You can also sign in to or create a Googleâ„¢ account from the setup guide the first time you
start your device. Or you can go online and create an account at
www.google.com/accounts
.
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 22 .
To charge your device
1
Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2
Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
3
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.
4
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.
