Finding The Identification Number Of Your Device; Finding A Lost Device - Sony Xperia XZs User Manual

Finding the Identification Number of Your Device

Your device has a unique identification number. This number is referred to as the IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity). You should keep a copy of this number. You
may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™ Care support service to
register your device. Also, if your device is stolen, some network providers can use this
number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.
To view your IMEI number on the label strip
1
Open the cover for the nano SIM/Memory card slot.
2
Remove the SIM/Memory Card tray.
3
Drag the strip outward using your fingernail. The IMEI number is displayed on the
strip.
You can also view the IMEI number by opening the phone dialer and entering *#06#.
To view your IMEI number via the device settings
1 From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status > IMEI information.

Finding a Lost Device

If you have a Google™ account, the "Protection by my Xperia" web service can help you
locate and secure your device if you ever lose it. If you have activated this service on your
device, you can:
•
Locate your device on a map.
•
Sound an alert even if the device is in Do not disturb mode.
•
Remotely lock the device and make the device display your contact details to anyone
who finds it.
•
Remotely clear the internal and external memory of the device as a last resort.
If you've cleared the internal memory of the device using the "Protection by my Xperia" web
service, you must sign in to a Google™ account that was previously synced on this device the
next time you turn on the device.
The "Protection by my Xperia" service may not be available in all countries or regions.
