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.cn or

wap.SonyEricsson.com.

Available services

Some services and functions described in this user’s

guide are network- or subscription-dependent.

Because of this, all 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.

Note: Sony Ericsson advises users to back up their

personal data information.

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, among other things.

Note: Make sure that your information is saved to

the SIM card before you remove it from another

phone. For example, phonebook entries may have

been saved in the phone memory.

Assembly

Before you can use your phone you need to:

• Insert the SIM card.

• Attach and charge the battery.
