The E2363 Series mobile phones have been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by international scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more information on SAR, please refer to the Important Information chapter in the User Guide. The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone model when tested for use by the ear is 1.20 W/kg*, and when worn on the body is 1.20 W/kg*. For body-worn operation, the phone has been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly used with an appropriate accessory and worn on the body. For devices which include WiFi hotspot functionality, SAR measurements for the device operating in WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of 10 mm. Use of third-party 2 accessories may result in different SAR levels than those reported.
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure*. The tests are performed in positions and locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

Why do I need a Google account?
Your Xperia device from Sony runs on the Android platform developed by Google. A range of Google applications and services is available on your device when you purchase it, for example, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube and Google Play, the online store for downloading Android applications. To get the most out of these services, you need a Google account. For example, a Google account is mandatory if you want to:
Download and install applications from Google Play. Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar. Chat with friends using the Hangouts application. Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks. For more information about Android and Google, go to www.sonymobile.com/support.

Charging your device Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by Sony or an authorised Sony repair centre. You should never try to open or take apart this device yourself. Opening the device can cause damage that will void your warranty. The battery is partly charged when the device is shipped from the factory. Depending on how long your device was in the box before you purchased it, the battery level may be quite low. It is therefore recommended that you charge the battery for at least 30 minutes before starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it is charging. To read more about how to improve the battery performance, see Battery and power management on page 123. After immersing your device in water or after getting the USB port wet, wait until the USB port is dry before inserting a USB cable into the port to charge your device. If you don't want to wait for the port to dry naturally, you can try shaking any excess moisture from the USB port and then use a micro-fibre cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture. To charge your device 1 Plug the charger into a power outlet. 2 Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a computer). 3 Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your device, with the USB symbol facing up. The notification light illuminates when charging begins. 4 When the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable from your device by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not to bend the connector. The USB connector does not go all the way into the USB charging port on your device. Part of the USB connector is still visible when its connected to the charger. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the notification light illuminates and the charging icon appears. Battery notification light status Green The battery charge level is greater than 90%

Memory and storage Your device has different types of memory and storage options. The internal storage is about 4 GB and is used to store downloaded or transferred content along with personal settings and data. Some examples of data stored to the internal storage are alarm, volume and language settings; emails; bookmarks;
calendar events; photos; videos and music. You can use a removable memory card with a storage capacity of up to 32 GB to get more storage space. Media files and some apps (with their data) can be moved to this type of memory to free up internal storage. Some apps, for example, the Camera app, can save data directly to a memory card. When installing an app, you can choose to install it on either the internal storage or the memory card. If the internal storage is full while the memory card has a lot of available space, it is a good idea to install apps on the memory card. The dynamic memory (RAM) is about 2 GB and cannot be used for storage. RAM is used to handle running applications and the operating system. You may have to purchase a memory card separately. Read more about the use of memory in Android devices by downloading the White paper for your device at www.sonymobile.com/support.

Using your device in wet and dusty conditions To ensure the water resistance of your device, all covers, including the covers for the micro USB port, the SIM card slot and the memory card slot, must be firmly closed. Your smart device is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection (IP) ratings IP65 and IP68, as explained in the table below. To view more specific IP information about your device, go to www.sonymobile.com/global-en/
legal/testresults/ and click on the relevant device name. These specific IP ratings mean that your device is dust resistant and is protected against low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of immersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 metres deep. You can use your device:
in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach. when your fingers are wet. in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when its snowing or raining. in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 1.5 metres or less, for example, in a fresh water lake or river. 129 This is an Internet version of this publication. Print only for private use. in a chlorinated swimming pool. Even if your device is resistant to dust and water, you should avoid exposing it unnecessarily to environments with excessive dust, sand and mud or to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The waterproof ability of the micro USB port, the SIM card slot, the memory card slot and the headset jack cannot be guaranteed in all environments or conditions. Never immerse your device in salt water or let the micro USB port or headset jack come in contact with salt water. For example, if youre at the beach, remember to keep your device away from the sea water. Also, never expose the device to any liquid chemicals. For example, if youre washing dishes by hand using liquid detergent, avoid bringing your device in contact with the detergent. After exposure to non-fresh water, rinse your device using fresh water. Normal wear and tear along with damage to your device can reduce its ability to resist dust or moisture. After using the device in water, dry off the areas around all covers, including the covers for the micro USB port, the SIM card slot and the memory card slot. If the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be impacted until the water has completely dried. Please note that the drying time can be up to three hours depending on the environment. During this time, you can, however, use other features in the device that do not utilise the speaker or microphone. All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, handsfree devices and micro USB cables, are not waterproof and dust resistant on their own. Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use of your device (including use in environments where the relevant IP rating limitations are exceeded). If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer to our Customer support service for help. Also, for warranty information, refer to the Important information which can be accessed via the Setup guide in your device. IP (Ingress Protection) rating Your device has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The second digit indicates how resistant the device is to water. Resistance to solid objects and dust Resistance to water IP0X: No special protection IPX0. No special protection IP1X. Protected against solid objects
> 50 mm in diameter IPX1. Protected against dripping water IP2X. Protected against solid objects >
12.5 mm in diameter IPX2. Protected against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees from normal position IP3X. Protected against solid objects >
2.5 mm in diameter IP4X. Protected against solid objects > 1 mm in diameter IP5X. Protected against dust; limited ingress (no harmful deposit) IPX3. Protected against spraying water IPX4. Protected against splashing water IPX5. Protected against water jet spray for at least 3 minutes IP6X. Dust tight IPX6. Protected against heavy jet spray for at least 3 minutes IPX7. Protected against the effects of immersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes IPX8. Protected against the effects of continued immersion in water depths greater than 1 metre.
