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™.
•
Synchronize email, contacts and the calendar using Gmail™.
•
Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
•
Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™ web
browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorized 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.

Charging your Device
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by
Sony or an authorized Sony repair center. 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 the device is shipped from the factory. The battery
level may be very low, depending on how long the device was in the box before you
purchased it. 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. Read more about how to improve battery performance in
and power management on page 18.
