Notice regarding use of your water

In order for your phone to be water resistant, all covers must be firmly closed.
Do not use your phone in the following conditions:
>1m
Ocean water Swimming
pool water*
Diving
Hot water Sand/mud Other liquid
chemicals
* Swimming pool water may contain chemicals that impact your phone's ability to
resist water.
For more information, read the User guide in the phone, or go to
www.sonymobile.com.
IP (Ingress Protection) rating
Your phone has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to
measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP
rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The
second digit indicates how resistant the phone is to water. The higher the numbers,
the higher the respective protection.
The IP ratings of your phone are IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X. This means that your phone is
dust protected and is protected against the effects of immersion and low pressure
water stream. So you can use the phone in extreme weather conditions, for example,
when it's snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high. You can also use the
phone in dusty or sandy environments, and when your fingers are wet. See the table
for more details.

Android™ – what and why?
An Android™ phone can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you
can customise it to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete
applications, or enhance existing applications to improve functionality. You can also
integrate applications on your Android™ phone with other applications and with
online services that you use. For example, you can back up your phone contacts,
access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of
your appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ phones are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
and your phone supports this new software, you can update your phone to get new
features and the latest improvements.
New software releases may not be compatible with all phones.
Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there
are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.
