Google™. A range of Google™ applications and services is available on your device
when you purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™ and Google
Play™, the 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:
ವ Download and install applications from Google Play™.
ವ Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar.
ವ Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
ವ Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to
www.sonymobile.com/support.

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.
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
this device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your
warranty.
The battery is partly charged when you buy the device. You can still use your device
while it is charging. Read more about the battery and how to improve the
performance in Battery and power management on page 126.

Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a

the USB symbol facing up. The notification light illuminates when charging
begins.
When 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.

Memory and storage

Your device has different types of memory and storage possibilities for photos, apps
and other files:
ವ The internal storage is about GB and is used to store downloaded or transferred
content along with personal settings and data. Examples are alarm, volume and
language settings, emails, bookmarks, contacts, calendar events, photos, videos and
music.
ವ You can use a removable memory card of up to GB to get more storage space.
Most applications can read data from a memory card but only certain apps can save
files to this type of memory. You can, for example, set the camera application to save
photos directly to the memory card.
ವ The dynamic memory (RAM) is about GB and cannot be used for storage. RAM is
used to handle running applications and the operating system.
You may have to purchase a memory card separately.

Backing up and restoring content

Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on
the internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or
if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever.
It is recommended to use the PC Companion or the Sony Bridge for Mac applications
to make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an external
device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device
software from one version to another.
Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick
backup of basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external
USB storage device by using the Backup & Restore application.

Using your device in wet and dusty conditions

To ensure the water resistance of your device, all covers, including the covers for the micro
USB port, the SIM card slot and the memory card slot, must be firmly closed.
Your smart device is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress
Protection (IP) ratings IP65 and IP68, as explained in the table below. To view more
specific IP information about your device, go to www.sonymobile.com/global-en/
legal/testresults/ and click on the relevant device name.
These specific IP ratings mean that your device is dust resistant and is protected
against low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of immersion for 30
minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 metres deep.
You can use your device:
ವ in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach.
ವ when your fingers are wet.
ವ in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining.
ವ in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 1.5 metres or less, for example, in a fresh water
lake or river.
ವ in a chlorinated swimming pool.
Even if your device is resistant to dust and water, you should avoid exposing it
unnecessarily to environments with excessive dust, sand and mud or to moist
environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The waterproof ability of the
micro USB port, the SIM card slot, the memory card slot and the headset jack cannot
be guaranteed in all environments or conditions.
Never immerse your device in salt water or let the micro USB port or headset jack
come in contact with salt water. For example, if you’re at the beach, remember to
keep your device away from the sea water. Also, never expose the device to any
liquid chemicals. For example, if you’re washing dishes by hand using liquid
detergent, avoid bringing your device in contact with the detergent. After exposure to
non-fresh water, rinse your device using fresh water.
Normal wear and tear along with damage to your device can reduce its ability to
resist dust or moisture. After using the device in water, dry off the areas around all
133
covers, including the covers for the micro USB port, the SIM card slot and the
memory card slot.
If the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be impacted until the water
has completely dried. Please note that the drying time can be up to three hours
depending on the environment. During this time, you can, however, use other
features in the device that do not utilise the speaker or microphone. All compatible
accessories, including batteries, chargers, handsfree devices and micro USB cables,
are not waterproof and dust resistant on their own.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use
of your device (including use in environments where the relevant IP rating limitations
are exceeded). If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer
to our Customer support service for help. Also, for warranty information, refer to the
Important information which can be accessed via the Setup guide in your device.
,3,QJUHVV3URWHFWLRQUDWLQJ

Your device has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to
