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.
For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to

http://support.google.com.

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.

To set up a Google™ account on your device

1

From your Home screen, tap .

2

Find and tap

Settings > Accounts > Add account > Google.

3

Follow the registration wizard to create a Google™ account, or sign in if you

already have an account.

You can also sign in to or create a Google™ account from the setup guide the first time you

start your device. Or you can go online and create an account at

www.google.com/accounts

.

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

performance, see

Battery and power management on page 29 .

If your device gets exposed to water, wipe it dry with a microfibre cloth and shake the

device at least 15 times with the USB port facing downwards. Repeat the procedure

if moisture is still visible in the USB port. Only insert the USB cable into the USB port

after the port has completely dried.
