Setup guide
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 Sony Entertainment Network account, you can sign in to it and start enjoying
music, videos and games from the Sony Entertainment Network on your device. Or
you can create a new account directly on your device.
You can also access the setup guide later from the Settings menu. To access the setup guide
on a device with multiple users, you must be logged in as the owner, that is, the primary user.
Sony Entertainment Network with Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited is not available in every
market. Separate subscription required. Additional terms and conditions apply.
To access the setup guide manually
1From the Home screen, tap .
2Tap Settings > Setup guide.
Locking and unlocking the screen
When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to
save battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on
the touch screen when you are not using it.

Accounts and services
Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when
you're on the move. You can sign up to new online services from your device as well
as from a computer.
Microsoft®Exchange ActiveSync®account
Synchronise your device with your corporate Microsoft®Exchange ActiveSync®
account. This way, you keep your work email, contacts and calendar events with you
at all times.
Multiple user accounts
Your device supports multiple user accounts so that different users can log in
separately to the device and use it. For example, different users can have different
home screen setups, wallpaper and general settings, as well as separate memory
storage. So they can install their own applications and store files such as music and
photos that only they can access. Multiple user accounts work well in situations
where different family or group members share the same device.
The user who sets up the device for the first time becomes the owner of the device.
The owner is the administrator or primary user. Once you are logged in as the owner,
you can add, change and delete other users via the Settings menu. You can add a
maximum of seven new users. As the owner, your account cannot be deleted.
Some features are only available to the owner. For example, only the owner can access the
external SD card.
Using multiple user accounts
To add a new user
1Make sure you are logged in as the owner, that is, the user who set up the
device for the first time.
2Drag the status bar downwards, then tap .
3Find and tap Users > Add user or profile > User.
4Tap OK > Set up now. An icon representing the newly added user appears on
the lock screen.
5Tap the icon representing the newly added user, then unlock the screen.
6Follow the setup guide instructions to complete the process.

Different behaviours for settings
Settings can behave in three different ways when a device has multiple users:
•Some settings can be changed by any user and affect all users, including the owner,
for example, language, WLAN, Airplane mode, NFC and Bluetooth®.
•Some settings affect only the individual user’s space, for example, automatic data
syncing, screen lock, various accounts added, and wallpaper.
•Some settings are visible only to the owner and affect all users, for example, VPN
settings.
