Screen covers and protectors may help you protect your device against damage.
We recommend you use only those screen covers intended for your Xperia™
device. 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
It is 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. For more information on charging, see
page 33.
The first time you start your device, a setup guide helps you to configure basic
settings, personalise your device and sign in to your accounts, for example a
Google™ account.
To turn on your device

Why do I need a Google account?
Your Xperia device runs on the Android platform developed by Google. A range of
Google applications and services are available on your device at purchase, for
example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™ and the Play Store™. To get the
most out of these services, you need a Google account. A Google account enables
you to:
•
Download and install applications from Google Play™.
•
Synchronise your email, contacts and 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 Find my device
services.

http://support.google.com .
It is crucial to remember your Google account user name and password, in case you need to
use it to identify yourself for security reasons. If you fail to give your Google user name and
password in such situations, your device is locked. If you have more than one Google
account, make sure to enter the details for the relevant account.
