Synchronizing wirelessly with a Microsoft® Exchange Server
By using a Wi-Fi™ connection or a 2G/3G mobile data connection you can synchronize wirelessly with a Microsoft® Exchange Server, for example, to synchronize with company e-mails calendars and contacts. To be able to synchronize wirelessly with a Microsoft®
Exchange Server, your company or organization must have an e-mail server that is running
Microsoft® Exchange Server with Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®.
Setting up a Microsoft® Exchange Server connection
Before you can start to synchronize with, or access information from, a Microsoft®
Exchange Server, you need to set up a Microsoft® Exchange Server connection in your phone. You may need the following information from your network administrator:
•
Microsoft® Exchange Server name (must be the Microsoft® Outlook® Web access server name)
• Domain name
• User name and password that you use at work
If you have synchronized e-mail messages with your computer before, you must change the existing local synchronization setup in Microsoft® ActiveSync® in your phone. You must also change what types of information to synchronize before you can synchronize wirelessly with a Microsoft® Exchange Server.
To set up a Microsoft® Exchange Server connection
Perform these steps only if you have not previously synchronized your e-mails, calendars or contacts.
1 Tap > E-mail > Setup E-mail.
2 Enter your e-mail address and tap Next.
3 Unmark the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet check box, then tap Next.

Starting a Microsoft® Exchange Server synchronization in your phone
Before you start synchronizing with a Microsoft® Exchange Server, make sure your phone has been set up with a data connection to the Internet or a Wi-Fi™ connection so that you can synchronize wirelessly. Your phone automatically starts synchronization when you finish setting up a Microsoft® Exchange Server connection.
If you connect your phone to an office computer using a USB or Bluetooth™ connection, you can use this connection to the computer to access the network and download Microsoft®
Outlook® e-mails and other information to your phone.
To start a wireless Microsoft® Exchange Server synchronization manually

Automatic synchronizations with a Microsoft® Exchange Server using
Direct Push
You can use Direct Push technology to receive new e-mail messages in your phone as soon as they arrive in your inbox on the Microsoft® Exchange Server. This feature also works for items such as contacts, calendar entries and tasks.
You need a GPRS mobile data connection or a Wi-Fi™ connection in your phone to make
Direct Push work. You also need to perform a full synchronization between your phone and the Microsoft® Exchange Server before the Direct Push feature can be enabled.
When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi™ connections are turned on at the same time, the Direct Push feature will always use the Wi-Fi™ to download information.
The Direct Push feature works for your phone only if your company is using Microsoft® Exchange
Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®.
To enable Direct Push
1 Tap > ActiveSync.
2 Tap Menu > Schedule.

Getting connected
Bluetooth™ technology
The Bluetooth™ function creates a wireless connection to other Bluetooth™ devices, for example, handsfree devices. A range within 10 metres (33 feet), with no solid objects in between, is recommended.
Bluetooth™ modes
The Bluetooth™ functionality in your phone can be set in different modes:
• On – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth™ enabled devices.
• Off – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned off. You can neither send nor receive information over a Bluetooth™ link. Turn off Bluetooth™ functionality when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft or in hospitals.
• Visible – Bluetooth™ functionality is turned on, and other Bluetooth™ enabled devices can detect your phone.
By default, Bluetooth™ functionality is turned off. To have it turned on by default, you need to activate Bluetooth™ functionality, then turn off your phone. The next time you turn on your phone, Bluetooth™ functionality will be on.
To turn on Bluetooth™ functionality and make your phone visible
1 Tap > Settings > Bluetooth™.
2 On the Mode tab, mark Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices check boxes.

Once you have entered a passcode, there is no need to re-enter it again. Creating a Bluetooth™ partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices recognize each other automatically when they are close enough and have the
Bluetooth™ function on.
To accept a Bluetooth™ partnership

Tips on using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it against a solid object. You can also use the self-timer to make sure that the phone is steady when the photo is taken.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can avoid relying on the zoom. Try to fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range is about four steps from the subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the object. Take some vertical photos. Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens.

Location services
Your phone is equipped with a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. By using location service applications in your phone you can then see your position on a map, or get driving directions from your position. Some location services may download data from the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited to navigational services.
Using the internal GPS receiver
When you use location services that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not cover the GPS antenna. The position of the GPS antenna is shown in the image below.
The first time you use the GPS receiver it may take up to 10 minutes before your location is found. If you want to get an approximate position fast, you could use the Fast GPS application.
You do not have to turn on the GPS receiver manually. The location based services and applications you are using will automatically enable the internal GPS receiver when needed.
Some location services use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.
FastGPS
FastGPS speeds up the time of your GPS positioning by downloading the latest satelite data from the Internet.
To use FastGPS
