Either turn off the device, or unmount the memory card under Settings > Storage

& memory > > Advanced > Storage > next to SD card.

Screen Protection

Before using your device, remove the protective film by pulling up on the protruding tab.

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

protector intended for your Xperia™ model. The use of third-party screen protection

accessories may prevent your device from working correctly by covering sensors, lenses,

speakers, or microphones and can invalidate the warranty.

Starting Your Device for the First Time

The first time you start your device, a setup guide helps you configure basic settings,

personalize your device, and sign in to your accounts (like a Google™ account).

To turn on the device

Press and hold down the power key

until the device vibrates.

Enter your SIM card PIN when requested, and then tap .

Wait a while for the device to start.

To Turn off the Device

Press and hold down the power key

until the options menu opens.

In the options menu, tap Power off.

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 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 enables you to do all of the following:

•

Download and install applications from Google Play™.

•

Synchronize your email, contacts, and calendar using Gmail™.

•

Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

•

Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web

browser.

•

Identify yourself as the authorized user after a software repair using Xperia™ Companion.
