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 62.

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.

It may take 30 minutes for the battery icon to appear on the screen.  
To charge the phone using the power adapter  
Connect your phone to a power outlet using the USB cable provided and the power  
adapter.  
To charge the phone using a computer  
Connect your phone to a USB port on a computer using the USB cable provided.  
If your phone is powered off it will turn on automatically when you connect it to a computer using  
the USB cable.  
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.  
Note  
To charge your phone, Sony Ericsson strongly recommends that you use only  
Sony Ericsson branded original batteries, a power supply which is in accordance  
with specification YD/T 1591-2006 (a Communications Industry standard of P. R.  
China) , and the USB cable supplied with your phone. The use of third-party products  
may decrease the performance of your phone and/or pose a risk to your health or safety  
You can charge the battery for more or less than 3 hours. Interrupted charging does not damage  
the battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features  
selected and voice or data transmissions. The stand-by time for this battery is up to 415 hours  
in GSM network; up to 485 hours in UMTS network (the test results are based on GSMA battery  
life test technology).  
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use with your mobile phone. If  
you use other batteries you may not be able to charge your phone.  
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.

Your phone has a function to speed up the entry of Chinese characters. Whenever you  
enter a stroke or a Pinyin letter, a candidate row of the most frequently used characters  
containing that stroke or relating to that letter appears at the bottom of the screen.  
Stroke input

grouped into 5 stroke categories.  
Components

After entering the first two strokes of the desired character, the component and character  
candidates that started with that stroke are displayed in the candidate row. Using  
components is a fast method for entering complex characters.  
Pinyin input

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.

Setting up an Internet connection using Sony Ericsson PC Companion  
Sony Ericsson PC Companion lets you access the Internet using a cable connection  
between your phone and a computer. When you connect the two devices using an  
approved cable, the How to connect wizard in the PC Companion guides you through the  
process. An Internet connection is established automatically in one of three ways:  
If there is an Internet data account under Internet settings that corresponds to your current  
operator, the connection will be established automatically.  
If there is no Internet data account under Internet settings that corresponds to your current  
operator, the application creates a phone data account.  
If there is insufficient space to save the Internet data in your phone, you will be asked to
