Getting to know your phone
About this user’s guide
The “Getting to know your phone” chapter gives a
quick overview of the main functions of the phone,
shortcuts and general information.
More information and downloads are available at
www.SonyEricsson.com/ or wap.SonyEricsson.com/
Available services
Some services and functions described in this user’s
guide are network or subscription-dependent, which
means that all menus may not be available in your

This symbol indicates that a service or
function is network or subscription-
dependent.
Please consult your network operator for
more information about your subscription.
Assembly
Before you can use your phone you need to:
• Insert the SIM card.
• Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and
battery information” on page 5.
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the
charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.
The SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that
keeps track of your phone number, the services
included in your subscription, and your Phonebook
information, among other things.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, Phonebook entries may be saved in the
phone memory.

Turning the phone on
To turn on the phone
Press and briefly hold the on/off button on the top of
the phone.
Note: When you turn on the phone it takes up to 40
seconds to begin operating.
Note: If your service provider requires the use of a

screen noted above will appear, and you will find the
default PIN in the collateral material developed by
your service provider. Otherwise, the PIN: screen
will not appear, and the standby screen will be
