Assembly
Be careful not to lift up the back cover of the device by accident when detaching the cover for
the nano SIM and memory card slots. The back cover should not be removed in any
circumstances.
Don’t confuse the nano SIM card slot with the memory card slot. Inserting a card in the wrong
slot could damage both the card and your device.
To insert the nano SIM cards
1Detach the cover for the nano SIM card and memory card slots.
2With the gold colored contacts facing down, insert the nano SIM card (or cards)
into the relevant nano SIM card slot (or slots).
3Re-attach the cover.
Do not insert a nano card which has been cut from a micro SIM card or a standard SIM card.
The size of such a cut card may be slightly different and could therefore damage your device,
if inserted.
To insert the memory card
1Detach the cover for the nano SIM card and memory card slots.
2With the gold colored contacts facing down, insert the memory card into the
memory card slot, then re-attach the cover.

method, you must first unmount the memory card under Settings > Storage > Unmount SD
card, then follow the rest of the instructions above.
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 online accounts, and personalize your device. For example, if you
have a Sony Entertainment Network account, you can sign in to it here and get set up

purchase it, like 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™.
•Synchronize email, contacts, and the calendar.
•Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to

2Find and tap Settings > Accounts > Add account > Google.

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 authorized Sony repair center. You should never try to open or take apart this
device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. The battery
level may be very low, depending on how long the device was in the box before you
purchased it. 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. Read more about how to improve battery performance in
Battery
and power management on page 20.
To charge your device
1Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
3Plug 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.
4When the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable from your device by pulling
it straight outward. Make sure not to bend the connector.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light
illuminates and the charging icon appears.
