About this user’s guide

For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your phone”

chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions

of the phone, shortcuts and general information.

More information and downloads are available at

www.SonyEricsson.com or wap.SonyEricsson.com.

Note: Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are used

interchangeably to refer to internet services.

Available services

Some services and functions described in this user’s

guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because

of this, some menus may not be available in your phone.

This symbol indicates that a service or

function is network or subscription-

dependent.

Please consult your network operator for

more information about your subscription.

The SIM card

When you register as a subscriber with a network

operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)

card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps

track of your phone number, the services included in

your subscription, and your phonebook information.

Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM card

before you remove it from another phone. For example,

phonebook entries may be saved in the phone memory.

Assembly

Before you can use your phone you need to:

• Insert the SIM card.

• Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and battery

information” on page 4.

Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the charger

before you insert or remove a SIM card.

the connectors facing each other (label side up).

3. Place the back cover into the bottom of the phone

and slide it up until it clicks into place.

appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK
