1 Press and hold down ①.

2 Enter your SIM card PIN (Personal Identification Number), if requested, and select OK.

3 Select a language.

4 Follow the instructions that appear.

If you want to correct a mistake when you enter your PIN, press C.

SIM card

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you get from your network operator, contains information about your subscription. Always turn off your phone and detach the charger before you insert or remove the SIM card.

You can save contacts on the SIM card before you remove it from your phone.

PIN

You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services and functions in your phone. Your PIN is supplied by your network operator. Each PIN digit appears as *, unless it starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911. You can see and call an emergency number without entering a PIN.

! If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. See SIM protection on page 56.

Standby

After you have turned on your phone and entered your PIN, the name of the network operator appears. This view is called standby. Your phone is now ready for use.

Using other networks

Making and receiving calls, using messaging and data transfer, for example, Internet-based services, outside your home network (roaming) may incur additional costs. Contact your operator for more information.

Help

In addition to this User guide, Feature guides and more information are available at www.sonyericsson.com/support.

There are also help functions and a User guide in your phone. See the following instructions on how to access them.

To access the User guide in your phone

- Select Menu > Settings > User help > User guide.

To view tips and tricks

- Select Menu > Settings > User help > Tips and tricks.

Supported services and features

Some of the services and features described in this User guide are not supported by all networks and/or service providers in all areas. Without limitation, this applies to the GSM International Emergency Number 112. Please contact your network operator or service provider to determine availability of any specific service or feature and whether additional access or usage fees apply.

Charging the battery

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy it.

To charge the battery

Diagram showing two mobile phones connected to a charger, with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating charging or discharging.

1 Connect the charger to the phone.
2 Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Maximising battery performance

- Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.

• If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks. This consumes power. If you cannot move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily.
• Turn off 3G and Bluetooth™ wireless technology when you do not need these functions.
• Do not cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call.

Go to www.sonyericsson.com/support to learn more about how to maximise your battery's performance.

Tips on 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. You can also use the self-timer to make sure that the phone is steady when the photo is taken.

Get closer

By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can avoid relying on the zoom. Try to 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 object. 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.
