Protecting the screen
At purchase, there are two sheets of plastic film on the front of your device. You can peel off the outer, or disposable, sheet of film when you start using the device. It is not recommended to peel off the inner, or second, sheet of film as it protects your screen from damage and scratching.
Assembly
Your device supports genuine nano SIM cards only. Inserting an unsupported SIM card
(including larger SIM cards or SIM cards cut to nano SIM card size) may permanently damage your SIM card or device. Sony does not warrant and will not be responsible for any damage caused by use of unsupported or modified SIM cards.
Make sure you place the nano SIM card (or cards) in the nano SIM card holder before inserting the nano SIM card (or cards) into the device. Also, don't confuse the nano SIM card slot with the memory card slot.
To insert the nano SIM cards
If you insert the nano SIM card while the device is powered on, the device restarts automatically.

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 the
Play Store™ application, which gives you access to the Google Play™ 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 www.sonymobile.com/support.
To set up a Google™ 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 Google™ account, or sign in if you already have an account.
You can also sign in to or create a Google™ 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 the device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that voids your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending on how long your device 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. To read more about how to improve the battery performance, see Battery and power management on page 22.

To dry the USB port
1 Using a micro-fibre cloth, wipe away any excess moisture from your device.
2 With the device held firmly and the USB port facing downwards, shake the device vigorously at least 15 times.
3 If moisture is still visible in the USB port, shake the device again several times.
4 Use a micro-fibre cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture from the USB port.
