Getting started

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.
