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
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 36.
The first time you start your device, a setup guide helps you to configure basic settings,
personalize your device, and sign in to your accounts, for example a Google™ account.
