Projection modes
You can either project the screen onto a table or onto a wall. Projecting onto a
table lets you take full advantage of the touchscreen functions, while projecting
onto a wall is ideal for viewing multimedia content, for example, watching movies.
You can also change the orientation of the projection mode in case of vertically
displayed apps.
When the temperature of the projector exceeds the normal operating range, a warning
message is displayed in the upper-right corner of the Home screen. The projector will turn
o automatically when it gets too hot.

•Navigate the projected screen using your finger.
The projected image size is 23 inches wide.
The device automatically pauses the projection if it is moved or lifted during operation.

To project onto a wall
1Place the device directly against the wall in the correct orientation as shown
in the illustration. Ensure there are no obstructions above the device or
within the projection area.
2To increase or decrease the projection area, reposition the device further
from or closer to the wall, as shown in the illustration. The projected image
size varies according to the distance from the wall:
•0 cm: 23 inches
•Approximately 9 cm: 40 inches
•Approximately 18 cm: 60 inches
•Approximately 28 cm: 80 inches
Touch functions are only available when the device is placed on a horizontal surface or

To change the projection orientation
1Find and tap Settings > Display > Portrait apps orientation.
2Select the desired orientation setting.
Presence sensor

movement of heat sources. When the Presence Sensor detects someone, your
device wakes up from sleep mode and starts projecting.
The Presence Sensor starts to work when you are using wall projection mode, 10
seconds after your device goes to sleep. You can also set the Presence sensor
manually for table projection mode. The Presence Sensor has a detection range of
110° for up to two meters.

To change the Presence Sensor settings
1Find and tap Settings > Display.
2Tap Presence sensor settings, then select an option.
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™. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google account. For
example, a Google account enables you to do the following:
•Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•Synchronize your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail.
•Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™
web browser.
•Identify yourself as the authorized user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
For more information about Android and Google, go to
support.google.com .
It is crucial to remember your Google account username and password, since in some
situations, you may need it to identify yourself for security reasons. 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, be sure to enter the details for the relevant account.

To set up a Google account on your device
1Find and tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Google.
2Follow 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. Alternatively, you can go online and create an account at
www.google.com/accounts .
To remove a Google account
1Find and tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Google.
2Select the Google account that you want to remove.
3Tap > Remove account.
4Tap 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.

Device security
Ensuring your device is protected
Your device includes security options, strongly recommended in case of loss or
theft:
•Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password, or pattern. For more
information, see Screen Lock on page 12.
•Add a Google™ account to prevent others from using your device if it gets stolen
or wiped. For more information, see Why do I need a Google account? on page 10.
Verifying the ownership of your device
Certain protection features require you to either unlock your screen with your PIN,
password, or pattern, or enter your Google™ account information. Below are
examples of protection features and their required credentials:
Factory data reset
protection You must unlock your screen before you are allowed to
perform a factory data reset.
Xperia™ Companion
software repair You must enter your Google™ account username and
password when you start the device after the repair is
complete.
Screen Lock
There are several screen lock options available. 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 Homescreen.
•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.
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 lockscreen type to only a PIN or password. This occurs when
your network administrator specifies a lockscreen type for all EAS accounts for
enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company or
organization to check what network security policies are implemented for cellular
devices.
