Finding a lost device using Android™ Device Manager

Manager. You can use it in parallel with, or as an alternative to, the Protection by my
Xperia service. If you lose your device, you can use Android™ Device Manager to:
•
Find and show where your device is located.
•
Ring or lock your device, erase everything on it, or add a phone number to the lock
screen.
