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 personalize 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

Accounts and services
Sign in to your online service accounts from your device to get easy access when you're
on the move. For example, you can integrate contacts from your Google™ account into
your Contacts, so you have everything in one place. You can sign up to new online
services from your device as well as from a computer.
Google™ account
Having a Google™ account is key to using a range of applications and services with your
Android™ device. You need a Google™ account, for example, to use the Gmail™
application in your device, to chat with friends using Hangouts™, and to synchronize the
calendar application on your device with your Google Calendar™. You also need a
Google™ account to download applications and games, music, movies, and books from
Google Play™.
Microsoft®Exchange ActiveSync®account
Synchronize 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.
Facebook™ account
Facebook™ is a social networking service that connects you with friends, family, and
colleagues around the world. Set up Facebook to work on your device so that you can
stay in touch from anywhere.
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.
