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™ application, which gives you access to the Google Play™ 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:
•
Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•
Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.
•
Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•
Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
•
Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the my Xperia™ or
Android™ Device Manager services.

It is crucial that you remember your Google™ account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google™ account.
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, make sure to enter the details for
the relevant account.

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
the device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that voids your warranty.
The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending
on how long your device was in the box before you purchased it, the battery level
may be quite low. It is therefore recommended that you charge the battery for at least
30 minutes before starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your
device while it is charging. To read more about how to improve the battery
