nano SIM card facing up.
Insert the nano SIM card holder back into the device.
Re-attach the nano SIM card slot cover.

Remove the cover of the memory card slot, then press against the edge of the
memory card and release it.
Draw the card outwards to remove it fully.
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 some 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. And you can download Internet and Wi-Fi® settings.
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.

until the options menu opens.
It may take a while for the device to shut down.
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 are 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™, read the article.
To set up a Google™ account on your device
From your Home screen, tap .
Find and tap Settings > Add account > Google.
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
The battery is partly charged when you buy the device. You can still use your device
while it is charging. Read more about the battery and how to improve the
performance in Battery and power management on page 111.

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
appears.

Multiple user accounts
Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in
separately to the device and use it. For example, different users can have different
home screen setups, wallpaper and general settings, as well as separate memory
storage. So they can install their own applications and store files, such as music and
photos that only they can access. Multiple user accounts work well in situations
where different family or group members share the same device.
The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device.
The owner is the administrator or primary user. Once you are logged in as the owner,
you can add, change and delete other users via the Settings menu. You can also add
restricted profiles which have restricted access to apps and content from your
account. Altogether, you can add a maximum of seven new users or restricted
profiles. As the owner, your account cannot be deleted.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can access the
external SD card.

Different behaviours for settings
Settings can behave in three different ways when a device has multiple users:
•
•
•
Some settings can be changed by any user and affect all users, including the owner,
for example, language, Wi-Fi®, Airplane mode, NFC and Bluetooth®.
Some settings affect only the individual user’s space, for example, automatic data
syncing, screen lock, various accounts added, and wallpaper.
Some settings are visible only to the owner and affect all users, for example, VPN
settings.
