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, www.SonyEricsson.com/fun

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. For instructions on copying your SIM card

information to your phone, see “Phonebook” on page

28.

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.

4 Getting started

SIM card and battery information

It may take up to 30 minutes before an icon

appears when charging if the battery is

completely discharged.

1. Insert the SIM card. Make sure the SIM card is placed

under the metal clips.

2. Place the battery on the back of the phone with 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.

4. Connect the charger to the phone at the lightning bolt

symbol. The lightning bolt symbol on the charger plug

must face upwards.

5. It may take up to 30 minutes before the battery

charging icon appears in the display. Wait

approximately 4 hours or until the icon indicates that

the battery is fully charged. If you do not see the

battery icon after this time, press any key or the center

select key to activate the display. The display will

“sleep” during charging.

6. Remove the charger by tilting the plug upwards.

Note: You have to insert the SIM card and charge the

battery before you can use the phone.

Getting started 5

Holding the Phone

Hold your mobile phone

as you would any other

telephone.

Internal Antenna

Your phone is equipped

with an internal antenna.

For best reception, try to hold your phone so your hand

does not cover the internal antenna.The antenna is

located on the back of the phone under the Sony

Ericsson logo.

Turning On the Phone

Press and hold NO until you hear a

tone. Enter your Personal Identity

Number (PIN), if you have one for

your SIM card. Your PIN is

provided by your network

operator.

If you make a mistake while

entering your PIN, delete the

wrong number by pressing .

If your PIN starts with the same digits as an emergency

number, for example 911, the digits are not hidden

with an * when you enter them. This is so that you can

see and call an emergency number without entering a

PIN. See “Emergency calls” on page 26 for more

information.

Note: If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row,

the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked

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

(Personal Unblocking Key). Your PUK is provided by

your network operator.

Helpful Hints

When you power on your phone, you have

the option of viewing Helpful Hints. If you

select View Now, you will see a short demonstration of

how some of the keys work. You can choose to view

Helpful Hints later or you can select to not view them.

To select to not view them, scroll to NeverAskAgain

using your navigation key and press YES.

You can always access Helpful Hints by pressing

from the standby screen (as long as they have not been

deleted).
