It is recommended to protect your device with a Sony-branded screen cover or a
protector intended for your Xperia™ model. The use of third-party screen protection
accessories may prevent your device from working correctly by covering sensors, lenses,
speakers, or microphones, and can invalidate the warranty.
Starting Your Device for the First Time

your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it is charging. For more

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™.
•Synchronize email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.
