Assembly
Your device only supports nano SIM cards. The nano SIM card and the memory card
share the same holder but have separate slots in the holder. Make sure you don’t
confuse the two. The combined SIM/Memory card slot allows you to use either a
memory card, or an additional SIM card.
To prevent data loss, make sure you turn off your device or unmount the memory card before
you drag out the holder to remove the nano SIM card (or cards) or memory card from the
device.

finger nail.
2Firmly place a single SIM card in the correct orientation in position one as
shown in the illustration.
3Firmly place the additional SIM card in the correct orientation in position two as
shown in the illustration.

above.
Screen protection
Before using your device, remove the transparent protection film by pulling up on the
protruding tab.
It is recommended to protect your device with a Sony-branded screen cover or
protector intended for your Xperia™ model. The use of third party screen protection
accessories may prevent your device from working by covering sensors, lenses,
speakers, or microphones and it can invalidate the warranty.
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 some accounts and personalise your device. For example, if you
have a Google™ account, you can sign in to it here and get set up straight away.

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 is mandatory if you want
to:
•Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.
•Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
•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.
To set up a Google™ account on your device
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Accounts & services > Account sync > Add account >
Google.
3Follow 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. Or you can go online and create an account at
www.google.com/accounts
.

To remove a Google™ account
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Tap Settings > Accounts & services > Account sync > Google.
3Select the Google™ account that you want to remove.
4Tap > Remove account.
5Tap Remove account again to confirm.
If you remove your Google™ account, any security features that are linked to your Google™
account will no longer be available.
If you are lending your device to someone to use for an extended period, it is recommended
that you remove your Google™ account from the device.
Charging your device
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by
Sony or an authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart
the device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that voids your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending
on how long your device was in the box before you purchased it, the battery level
may be quite low. 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. To read more about how to improve the battery
performance, see
Battery and power management
on page 30.
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 outwards. 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.

Device security
Making sure your device is protected
You can prevent other people from using your device without your permission. For
example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google™
account or screen lock information can use the device. To make sure that your device
is protected, it is important that you set a secure screen lock and add your Google™
account to your device. It is crucial that you remember both your screen lock
information and your Google™ account credentials. To make sure your device is
protected, you can:
•Set a secure screen lock on your device, that is, a PIN, password, or pattern or
fingerprint screen lock to prevent anyone from resetting your device. For more
information, see
Screen lock
on page 13.
•Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen
and/or wiped. For more information, see
Why do I need a Google™ account?
on
page 10.
•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 erase a lost
device. For more information, see
Finding a lost device
on page 21 .
Verifying the ownership of your device
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 some of the required credentials:
Factory Data Reset
protection
You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to perform a Factory Data
Reset.
Protection by my
Xperia
If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter 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™ Device
Manager
If you remotely reset your device using this service, you must enter the
username and password for a Google™ account. 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.
Software repair If you use the Xperia™ Companion software to perform a software repair, you’re
asked to 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. 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
Fingerprint functionality is not available in the US market.
There are several ways to unlock the screen. The security level of each lock type is
listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
•Swipe – no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
•Pattern – draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
•PIN – enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
•Password – enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.
13

•Fingerprint – place your registered finger on the power key to unlock your device
It is very important that you remember your screen unlock 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 specific lock screen type for all EAS
accounts for enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company
or organisation to check what network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.

Unlocking your device automatically
The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to
unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for
example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you’re carrying it with
you.
To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the
following steps in the order given:
•Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi® connection to
limit data traffic charges.
•Make sure that all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order
to ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date
Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.
•Enable Smart Lock.
•Set when you want your device to unlock automatically.
The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may change over
time due to updates from Google™.
The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country or region.
To enable Smart Lock
1Make sure that you’ve set a pattern, PIN or password for your screen lock.
2From your Home screen, tap .
3Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Trust agents.
4Drag the slider beside Smart Lock (Google) to the right.
5Tap the back arrow next to Trust agents.
6Find and tap Smart Lock.
7Enter your pattern, PIN or password. You need to enter this screen lock any
time you want to change your Smart Lock settings.
8Select a Smart Lock type.
Setting when to keep the device automatically unlocked
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
•Trusted devices — Keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® device is
connected.
•Trusted places — Keep your device unlocked when you're in a trusted location.
•On-body detection — Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying your device
with you.
16

You have to manually unlock your device when you don't use it for 4 hours and after
you restart it.
Connecting to trusted Bluetooth® devices
You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a "trusted" device and keep
your Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth®
devices that you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home
entertainment system, a Bluetooth® watch, or a fitness tracker, you can add them as
trusted devices and bypass the added security of a lockscreen 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 Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen
locks and you need your PIN, pattern or password to unlock it.
To add a trusted Bluetooth® device
1Make sure your device is paired and connected to the Bluetooth® device that
you want to add as a trusted device.
2In the Smart Lock menu, tap Trusted devices.
3Tap Add trusted device > Bluetooth.
4Tap a device name to select it from the list of connected devices. Only paired
devices appear in this list.
5Depending on the security of your connection, you may need to manually
unlock your device before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.
To remove a trusted Bluetooth® device
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Smart Lock > Trusted
devices.
3Tap the device that you want to remove.
4Tap Remove trusted device.
Making sure you're secure when using trusted devices
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.
When your device can't determine that 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 meters. If
someone takes your Xperia™ device while it's near a trusted device, they may be
able to access your Xperia™ device if the trusted device has unlocked it.
Connecting to trusted places
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.
17
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

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 area that you have added as a trusted location. This
feature can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 80 meters. Also be aware that
location signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialised

Keeping your device unlocked while you’re carrying it
Using the On-body detection feature, you can have your device stay unlocked when
you have it on you, for example, if you're carrying it in your hand, pocket or bag. The
accelerometer in your device keeps your device unlocked when it senses that it's
being carried. The device locks when the accelerometer detects that the device has
been put down.
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.
To enable On-body detection
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Smart Lock > On-body
detection.
3Drag the slider beside Off to the right, then tap Continue.
Using On-body detection
When you use the On-body detection feature, you need to be aware of the following
behaviours:
•When your device senses that it's on your body, it stays unlocked after you unlock it.
•Any time you put your device down and it senses that it's no longer on your body,
your device locks automatically.
•After you put your device down, for example, if you place it on a table, your device
can take up to one minute to lock.
•After you get into a car, bus, train or other land vehicles, your device can take
between 5 and 10 minutes to lock.
•Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or other non-land based vehicles),
your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if needed.
•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.
To turn off On-body detection
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Smart Lock > On-body
detection.
3Drag the slider beside On to the left.

SIM card protection
You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN
(Personal Identity 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 more times than the maximum number of attempts
allowed, your SIM card will become 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.
To set up a SIM card lock
1From the Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Set up SIM card lock.
3Select a SIM card.
4Drag the slider beside Lock SIM card to the right.
5Enter the SIM card PIN and tap OK. The SIM card lock is now active and you
will be prompted to enter this lock every time you restart the device.
To remove a SIM card lock

2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Set up SIM card lock.

2Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Set up SIM card lock.
3Select a SIM card.
4Tap Change SIM PIN.
5Enter the old SIM card PIN and tap OK.

2Enter a new PIN code and tap .
3Re-enter the new PIN code and tap .
If you enter an incorrect PUK code too many times, you need to contact your network operator
to get a new SIM card.
Using multiple SIM cards
Your device works with one or two SIM cards inserted. You get incoming
communication to both SIM cards and you can select from which number you want
to place outgoing communication. Before you can use both SIM cards, you need to
enable them and select the SIM card that will handle data traffic.
You can forward calls that come in on SIM card 1 to SIM card 2 when SIM card 1 is
unreachable, and vice versa. This function is called Dual SIM reachability. You must
enable it manually. See
Forwarding calls
on page 68.
To enable or disable the use of two SIM cards
1From the Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Dual SIM settings.
