Assembly – Dual SIM

Your device only supports nano SIM cards. Dual SIM devices support the use of one

or two nano SIM cards and a memory card.
Dual SIM devices are not available in all markets or from all operators.
For information on how to check if your device is Single SIM or Dual SIM, see

Finding the IMEI number(s) of your device on page 15.

To prevent data loss, make sure you turn off your device or unmount the memory card

before you drag out the holder to remove the nano SIM card (or cards) or memory card from

the device.

To insert the nano SIM cards and the memory card

Do not cut your SIM card, as this may damage your device.

Drag out the SIM card tray.

Insert the memory card in the correct orientation into the memory card slot,

as shown in the illustration.

Place the main SIM card (SIM1) securely in the SIM card tray, as shown in the

illustration.

Place the second SIM card (SIM2) securely in the SIM card tray, as shown in

the illustration.

Gently push the tray back into the slot until it fits into place.

Screen protection

Before using your device, remove the protection film by pulling up on the protruding tab.

Screen covers and protectors may help you protect your device against damage.

We recommend you use only those screen covers intended for your Xperia™

device. The use of third party screen protection accessories may prevent your

device from working correctly by covering sensors, lenses, speakers, or

microphones and can invalidate the warranty.

Starting your device for the first time

It is 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, see

Charging your device on page 35.
