recommend you use only those screen covers intended for your Xperia™ device. 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

It is 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, see
Charging your device on page 34.
The first time you start your device, a setup guide helps you to configure basic
settings, personalise your device and sign in to your accounts, for example a
Google™ account.
7RWXUQRQWKHGHYLFH

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:
ವ Download and install applications from Google Play™.
ವ Synchronise your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail™.
ವ Chat with friends using the Duo™ application.
ವ Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
ವ Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
ವ Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperia™ or
Android™ Device Manager services.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to
http://support.google.com.
It is crucial that you remember your Google™ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google™ account.
If you fail to give your Google™ username and password in such situations, your device is
locked. Also, if you have more than one Google™ account, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.
7RVHWXSD*RRJOHറDFFRXQWRQ\RXUGHYLFH
Find and tap 6HWWLQJV > $FFRXQWV V\QF > $GGDFFRXQW > *RRJOH.
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. Alternatively, you can go online and create an account at
www.google.com/accounts.

Making sure your device is protected
Your device includes several security options, strongly recommended in case of loss
or theft.
These options are as follows:
ವ Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password or pattern to prevent
anyone from accessing or resetting your device.
ವ Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen or
wiped.
ವ Activate either the “Protection by my Xperia” or the Android™ Device Manager web
service. Using one of these services, you can remotely locate, lock or clear a lost
device.
9HULI\LQJWKHRZQHUVKLSRI\RXUGHYLFH
Certain protection features require you to either unlock your screen with your PIN,
password, pattern, or enter your Google™ account information. Below are examples
of protection features and their required credentials:
Factory Data You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to perform a
Reset Factory Data Reset.
protection
Protection by If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter
my Xperia the username and password for a Google™ account associated with
the service. The device must be connected to the internet before the
setup process can be completed. Otherwise, you will not be able to
use your device after the reset.
Android™ If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter
Device the username and password for a Google™ account. The device
Manager
must be connected to the internet before the setup process can be
completed. Otherwise, you will not be able to use your device after
the reset.
Software repair You must enter your Google™ account username and password
when you start the device after the repair is complete.
For Android™ Device Manager, it is necessary to enter information from a Google™ account.
This can be any Google™ account which you have set up on the device as an owner. If you
cannot provide the relevant account information during a setup process, you won't be able to
use the device at all.
Screen lock
There are several screen lock options available. The security level of each lock type is
listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
ವ Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
ವ Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
ವ PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
ವ Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.
It is very important that you remember your screen lock pattern, PIN or password. If
you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as
contacts and messages. If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®
(EAS) account on your Xperia™ device, the EAS security settings may limit the lock
screen type to only a PIN or password. This occurs when your network administrator
specifies a lock screen type for all EAS accounts for enterprise security reasons.

network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.

Unlocking your device automatically
The Smart Lock feature lets you set your device to unlock automatically in certain
situations, for example, when connected to a Bluetooth® device or when carrying it
with you. When Smart Lock is enabled you still need to unlock your device manually
after restarting, and after leaving the device inactive for 4 hours.
Choose from the following Smart Lock settings:
ವ 2QERG\GHWHFWLRQ: Keep your device unlocked when carrying it with you.
ವ 7UXVWHGSODFHV: Keep your device unlocked when in a familiar, secure location, such
as your home.

device is connected.
ವ 7UXVWHGIDFH: Unlock your device by looking at it.
ವ 7UXVWHGYRLFH: Use voice recognition to unlock your device from the lock screen or

The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™, so its functionality may be changed or
updated over time. Furthermore the feature may not be available in every market, country or
region.

Using the On-body detection feature, you can keep your device unlocked while
you're carrying it in your hand or in a pocket or bag. The accelerometer in your device
keeps your device unlocked while it senses that it's being carried. The device locks
when the accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.
When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following
behaviours:
ವ Any time you put your device down and it senses that it's no longer being carried, it
locks automatically.
ವ The device can take up to one minute to lock.
ವ After you get into a car, bus, train or other land vehicle, your device can take between
5 and 10 minutes to lock.
ವ Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land based vehicle),
your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if needed.
12
ವ When you pick up your device again or get out of the vehicle, just unlock it once and
your device then stays unlocked for as long as you have it on you.
The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your
device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay
unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is less
secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

You can designate a connected device as trusted and keep your Xperia™ device
unlocked while connected. If you have a device that you connect to regularly using
Bluetooth® or NFC, for example, a home entertainment system or a fitness tracker,
you can add it as a trusted device and bypass the added security of the lock screen
to save time. This feature is suitable if you’re normally in a relatively secure place
when you use these devices. In some cases, you may still need to manually unlock
your device before a trusted device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted
devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks and you
need your PIN, pattern or password to unlock it.

Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security
capabilities. There's a possibility that someone could keep your Xperia™ device
unlocked by imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no
longer nearby. Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection
is secure from someone trying to imitate it.
13
When your device can't determine whether you're using a secure connection, you'll
get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before
the trusted device can keep it unlocked.
Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device,
the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors,
Bluetooth® connections can work over distances up to 100 metres.
&RQQHFWLQJWRWUXVWHGSODFHV
When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lock screen security on your Xperia™
device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature to
work, you must have an internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi) and allow your
device to use your current location.
To set up trusted places, first make sure that high accuracy location mode or battery-
saving location mode is enabled on your device before you add home or custom
locations.
The exact dimensions of a trusted location are an estimate and may extend beyond the
physical walls of your home or other areas that you have added as a trusted locations. This
feature can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 80 metres. Also be aware that
location signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialised
equipment could unlock your device.

SIM card protection

You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN
(Personal Identification Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked
to the card is protected against misuse, meaning that you have to enter a PIN every
time you start your device.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You
then need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and
PUK are supplied by your network operator.

Finding the identification number of your device

Your device has a unique identification number. This number is referred to as the IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity). You should keep a copy of this number.
You may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™ Care support service
to register your device. Also, if your device is stolen, some network providers can use
this number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.
For devices with two SIM cards, there are two IMEI numbers, one for each SIM card slot.

Charging your device
Always use an original Sony charger and USB Type-C™ cable intended for your specific
Xperia™ model. Other chargers and cables may increase charging time, not charge at all, or
may even damage your device. Make sure all USB ports and connectors are completely dry,
before inserting the USB Type-C™ cable.
A wall socket charger will charge your device faster than charging via your computer.
You can still use your device while charging.
If the battery is depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes for your device to respond to
the charging. During this time, the screen may remain completely dark, not showing
the charging icon. Also note that it can take up to 4 hours for a completely drained
battery to be fully charged.
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that can only be replaced by an
authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart the device yourself.
Doing so can cause damage and void your warranty.
7RFKDUJH\RXUGHYLFH
Plug the charger into a power outlet.

Plug one end of the USB Type-C™ cable into the charger (or into the USB port
of a computer).
Plug the other end of the cable into the USB Type-C™ port on your device. 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.
It is important to use the USB Type-C™ cable (provided) when charging your device as other
types of USB cables can damage your device.
If the battery is completely depleted, it may take a few minutes before the notification light
illuminates and the charging icon appears.

Battery and power management

Your device has an embedded battery. To get the most use from it, keep track of the
power consumed by different apps and features. Background power saving features
are activated by default to help you reduce battery consumption, and additional
power saving modes are available to help you reduce battery consumption further
when necessary.
Power saving features lower the priority for certain non-essential device functions,
such as higher grade image performance, network activities such as location
services, app synchronisation and background Wi-Fi scanning. If you do not want an
application to be affected, you can exempt it in the Battery optimisation menu. Phone
calls and SMS are not affected.
System updates may change the power saving features available on your device.

The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
ವ Lower the screen brightness level, see Screen settings on page 57.
ವ Turn off Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi and location services when you don't need these
features.
ವ Turn off your device or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no or low
network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available
networks, and this consumes power.
ವ Use a Wi-Fi network instead of roaming when abroad. Roaming is scanning for
your home network and puts additional demands on your battery as your
device must transmit with a higher output power, see Wi-Fi on page 46.
ವ Change the synchronisation settings for your email, calendar and contacts, see
Synchronising with online accounts on page 53.
ವ Check the applications that have a high battery consumption and consider the
battery saving tips provided on your device for these applications.
ವ Change the notification level for an application, see Notifications on page 27.
ವ Turn off the location-sharing permission for an application, see Application
settings on page 58.
ವ Uninstall applications that you are not using, see Application screen on
page 22.
ವ Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices
consume less battery than your device's loudspeakers.
ವ Restart your device every now and then.

Backing up and restoring content
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on
the internal memory of your device. If your device is damaged, lost or stolen, the data
stored on its internal memory may be impossible to recover. It is recommended to
use the Xperia™ Companion software to make backups which save your data safely
to an external device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating
your device software to a newer Android version.
The Xperia™ Backup & restore application is recommended for backing up data
before you do a factory data reset. With this application you can back up data to an
online account, an SD card or to an external USB storage device that you have
connected to your device using a USB host adapter.
With the Google Backup & restore application, you can back up data to a Google
server.

Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specific
application. For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the
Home navigation key, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app screen
from being minimised. You can also use this feature when you lend your device to
another person to make it harder for them to access more than one application. For
example, you can lend your device to somebody to take a photo and pin the screen
to the Camera application so that the person can't easily use other apps such as
Email.
Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from unpinning a
screen and accessing your device. To protect your data, you should set up your device to
request a screen lock PIN, password or pattern before someone can unpin the screen.

Multiple user accounts

Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in
separately to the device and use it. Multiple user accounts work well in situations
where you share the same device with other people or lend your device to someone
to use for a while. The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the
owner of the device. Only the owner can manage the accounts of other users. Apart
from the owner account, there are two different types of accounts:
ವ Regular User: This account type is suitable for someone who regularly uses your
device.
ವ Guest User: Enable the guest account option for someone who just wants to use your
device temporarily.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can allow
downloads from sources other than Google Play™.
$ERXWWKH5HJXODU8VHUDFFRXQW
By adding Regular User accounts, you can allow different users to have different
home screens, wallpapers and general settings. They also get separate access to
applications and memory storage for files such as music and photos. You can add up
to seven regular user accounts on your device.

NFC
Use Near Field Communication (NFC) to share data with other devices, such as
videos, photos, web page addresses, music files or contacts. You can also use NFC
to scan tags that give you more information about a product or service as well as
tags that activate certain functions on your device.
NFC is a wireless technology with a maximum range of one centimetre, so the
devices sharing data must be held close to each other. Before you can use NFC, you
must first turn on the NFC function, and the screen of your device must be active.
The NFC detection area is located on the back of the device. Hold your device close
to another device or an NFC reader so that the NFC detection areas touch each
other.
NFC may not be available in all countries or regions. Using certain apps, some NFC functions
can be enabled even when the device is switched off. Note that not all devices support this
feature.

Once you pair your device with another Bluetooth® device, your device remembers
this pairing. When pairing your device with a Bluetooth® device for the first time, you
may need to enter a passcode. Your device will automatically try the generic
passcode 0000. If this does not work, refer to the user guide for your Bluetooth®
device to get the device passcode. You do not need to re-enter the passcode the
next time you connect to a previously paired Bluetooth® device.
Some Bluetooth® devices, for example, most Bluetooth® headsets, require you to both pair
and connect with the other device.
You can pair your device with several Bluetooth® devices, but you can only connect to one
Bluetooth® profile at the same time.

information to determine your approximate location. If you're not within a clear line of
sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi
function. And if you're not within range of a network, your device can determine your
location using your mobile network.
In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location
services.
