synchronization account and back up your old contacts to it. If you do not want existing contacts  
saved on your memory card or SIM card to be synchronized, then you should import these  
contacts from the memory card or SIM card to your new phone before you set up the  
synchronization account.

Battery  
Your Android™ phone keeps you connected and updated wherever you are. This affects  
the battery life of your phone. Below are some tips on how to prolong battery life while still  
staying connected and up to date.  
Battery performance  
Standby time is the amount of time the battery can power your phone when calls are not being  
received or made. The more time your phone is in standby, the longer the battery lasts.  
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:  
Charge your phone often.  
Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. Turn off all data connections by  
disabling the Data traffic option from the status bar when you're not using the Internet.  
Set synchronization applications (used to synchronize your email, calendar and contacts),  
to synchronize manually. You can also synchronize automatically but increase the intervals.  
Check the battery usage menu in the phone to see which applications use the most power.  
Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming applications  
such as YouTube™. Some Android Market™ applications also consume more power. Limit  
your use of such applications if your battery is running low.  
Increase the interval between updates or set the interval to manual for Facebook™ and  
Twitter™ updates.  
Turn off GPS, Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can turn  
them on and off more easily by adding the Power control widget to your Home screen. You  
do not need to turn off 3G.  
11

Lower the screen display brightness level.  
Turn off your phone or use Flight mode if you are in an area with no network coverage.  
Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.  
Use a handsfree device to listen to music. This consumes less battery than when you listen  
through the phone's loudspeakers.  
Visit www.sonyericsson.com/support or go to the Sony Ericsson Support  
application  
in your phone for an extended User guide. Here you can also find a video on how to  
maximize the battery performance.  
Lowering the screen display brightness and keeping the Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® enabled even  
though not in use, have a minor impact on the available battery life.  
To turn off all data connections

From the Home screen, drag the status bar downwards to open the Notification

Charging the battery  
The phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. It may take a few minutes  
before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the phone to a power  
source. You can still use your phone while it is charging.  
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a  
certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level  
below 100 percent.

Sensors  
Your phone includes a light sensor and a proximity sensor. The light sensor detects the  
ambient light level and adjusts the brightness of the screen accordingly. The proximity  
sensor turns the touch screen off when your face touches the screen. This prevents you  
from unintentionally activating phone functions when you are engaged in a call.  
Home screen  
The Home screen is the starting point of your phone. You can personalize the Home screen  
by adding widgets, or by changing the wallpaper and the applications in the corners.  
15  
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.  
   
When you add more than one widget, the Home screen extends beyond the screen width.  
The corners on the Home screen are used to access applications or bookmarks quickly.  
You can add any application or bookmark to the corners.  
When you go to the Home screen, some applications may continue to run in the background. If  
you do not want applications to run in the background, you should exit each application you have  
opened before going to the Home screen.  
A widget is a part of an application on the Home screen. It displays important information from  
a particular application. For example, the Sony Ericsson Timescape™ widget displays incoming  
messages and the Media widget allows you to start playing music directly.

Without a memory card you can't use the camera, nor can you play or download music files and  
video clips.  
Formatting the memory card  
The memory card in your phone may be formatted in order to, for example, free memory.  
All content on the memory card will be lost. Make sure you have made backups of everything  
you want to save before formatting the memory card. To backup your content you can copy it to  
your computer. For more information, refer to the chapter Connecting your phone to a  
computeron page 69 .

You can disable all data connections over 2G/3G networks with your phone to avoid any  
unwanted data downloads and synchronizations. Contact your service provider if you need

charges may apply. Contact your network operator for more information.  
Applications may sometimes use the Internet connection in your home network without any  
notification, for example, when sending search and synchronization requests. Additional charges  
may apply for data roaming. Consult your service provider.

Network settings  
Your phone automatically switches between networks depending on availability. Some  
network operators allow you to switch networks manually, for example, if you are travelling  
abroad and want to use a particular network.  
To save battery, you can limit your phone to only use GSM networks. Data downloads and  
uploads will however be slower. If you are going to download or upload large amounts of  
data, we recommend that you change to another network mode or connect to the Internet  
through a Wi-Fi® network.

Phonebook  
In the Phonebook application, you can enter information for your personal contacts, for  
example, phone numbers and email addresses. When you view a contact, you get quick  
access to all communication with that contact.  
If you have set up your phone for use with a synchronization service account, you can  
synchronize your phone contacts with the account contacts. When you create or import  
contacts, you are asked to select if you want to synchronize the newly created or imported  
contacts with the account, or if you only want to use them in the phone (Phone contact). See  
Synchronizing on page 59.  
To view your contacts  
From the Home screen, tap  
to open the Phonebook application.  
If you have not set up your phone for synchronization with a web service, or imported SIM  
contacts, you can choose to do so the first time you open the Phonebook application. If you  
want to use the contacts you import from your SIM/memory card with a synchronization service,  
you need to set up the synchronization with the service before you import the contacts from the  
SIM/memory card.  
Getting contacts into your phone  
If you want to transfer contacts from your old phone to your new phone using any of the methods  
described below you should first refer to the User guide of your old phone. Also, remember that  
you need to back up your old contacts first before you can import them to your new phone. You  
can do this either by synchronizing your old phone contacts with a synchronization account, or  
by exporting the contacts to your SIM card or to a memory card.  
You can get existing contact information into your phone using several methods:  
Use a synchronization service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™. This way,  
you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone and from a computer.  
Import contacts from a SIM card. You may not be able to transfer all information from one  
phone to another using this method because of limited memory on the SIM card. Also,  
some phones do not support the export of contacts to a SIM card.  
Import contacts from a memory card. Please note that it is not always possible to transfer  
contacts from one phone to another using this method, since some phones do not support  
the import or export of contacts from/to a memory card.  
Use a Bluetooth™ connection to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Both phones  
need to be switched on. In some phones, Bluetooth™ only works when a SIM card is  
inserted.  
You can send contacts via messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all phones  
support the sending of contacts via messaging services.

the contacts you want to use in the phone. If you synchronize your contacts with more than  
one account, you can join contacts in your phone to avoid duplicates.

Messaging  
Using text and multimedia messaging  
You can send and receive text messages from your phone using SMS (Short Message  
Service). If your subscription includes MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), you can also  
send and receive messages that contain media files, for example, pictures and videos. A  
single text message may contain up to 160 characters. If you exceed 160 characters, then  
all your single messages are linked and sent together. You are charged for each 160-  
character message sent. When you view your messages, they appear as conversations,  
which means that all messages to and from a particular person are grouped together.  
To send multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings in your phone. See Internet

applications through Android Market™, but if you want to continue using the application,  
the download and payment of the full version must be made through the manufacturer's  
website.  
Google Checkout™ – Google Checkout is an online payment processing service. It offers,  
for example, information about your purchase history and gives you protection from credit  
card fraud by not giving your full credit card number to the vendor. You can use your Google  
email account to log in to Google Checkout from your phone. If you do not have a Google  
Checkout account, you can sign up for a new account from your phone. Payment can be  
made with a credit, debit, or gift card. Some vendors may also accept payment through  
your phone billing account.  
It may not be possible to buy applications through Android Market™ in all countries or regions.  
Downloading from Android Market™  
You can download all kinds of applications from Android Market™, including free  
applications. If you pay for an application through Google Checkout, the application is tied  
to your Google account so that it can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any  
device.  
Before you download applications  
Before you start downloading from Android Market™, make sure that you have a working  
Internet connection.  
Also, remember that you might incur data traffic charges when you download content to  
your phone. Contact your operator for more information.

the download will start automatically.  
Premium SMS – pay using SMS when you are in your home country. You do not have to

Bluetooth™ wireless technology  
Turn on the Bluetooth™ function in your phone and create wireless connections to other  
Bluetooth™ compatible devices such as computers, handsfree accessories, and phones.  
Bluetooth™ connections work better within a 10 meter (33 feet) range, with no solid objects  
in between. In some cases you have to manually pair your phone with other Bluetooth™  
devices. Remember to set your phone to discoverable if you want other Bluetooth™  
devices to detect it. Alternatively, you can send files to other devices by email, or transfer  
them to your computer using a USB cable connection.  
Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth® devices vary.

Pairing with another Bluetooth™ device  
When you pair your phone with another device, you can, for example, connect your phone  
to a Bluetooth™ handsfree or a Bluetooth™ car kit and use these devices to make and  
receive calls.  
Once you have paired your phone with a Bluetooth™ device the phone will remember this  
pairing. When pairing the phone with a Bluetooth™ device, you may need to enter a  
passcode. Your phone will automatically try the generic passcode 0000. If this does not  
work, refer to your Bluetooth™ device documentation for the device passcode. You do not  
need to re-enter the passcode the next time you connect to a paired Bluetooth™ device.  
Some Bluetooth™ devices, for example, most Bluetooth™ headsets, require you to both  
pair and connect with the other device.  
You can pair your phone with several Bluetooth™ devices, but you can only connect to  
one Bluetooth™ profile at the same time.

Tips when using the camera  
Rule of thirds  
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you  
achieve a better result.  
Hold it steady  
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it  
against a solid object.  
Get closer  
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the viewfinder with your subject.  
Stay within the flash range  
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range  
is about four steps from the subject.  
Consider variety  
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos.  
Try different positions.  
Use a plain background  
A plain background helps highlight your subject.  
Keep your lens clean  
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.  
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft  
cloth to clean the lens.

Location services  
You can get your location determined either by using wireless networks or GPS technology.  
Wireless networks technology determines your position fast but accuracy may vary. If you  
use GPS technology it may take a little longer, but it will find your exact position. You can  
enable both wireless networks and GPS to benefit from both technologies when trying to  
find your position.  
Using GPS technology  
Your phone has a GPS receiver that uses satellite signals to calculate your location. Some  
GPS features use the Internet. Data rates and charges may apply.  
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you  
have a clear view of the sky. If the GPS receiver does not find your location after a few  
minutes, you should move to another location. To help the search, stand still and do not  
cover the GPS antenna. The position of the GPS antenna is shown in the image below. The  
first time you use the GPS receiver, it may take up to 10 minutes before your location is  
found.  
If you cannot use some GPS features, see I cannot use Internet-based services on page 97.  
Sony Ericsson does not warrant the accuracy of any location services, including but not limited  
to navigational services.
