Finding the identification number of your device

Your device has a unique ID (identification) number. In your device, this number is

referred to as the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity). You should keep a

copy of this number. You may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™

Care support service and need to register your device. Also, if your device is stolen,

some network providers can use this number to stop the device from accessing the

network in your country.

To view your IMEI number

Detach the cover of the micro SIM card slot.

Place a fingernail under the right or left edge of the label tray, then drag the

tray outwards to view your IMEI number.

You can also open the phone dialer on your device and enter

*#06#

Battery and power management

Your device has an embedded battery. You can keep track of your battery

consumption and see which applications are using the most power. You can remove

or restrict apps and activate a number of power saving modes to get more out of

your battery. You can also view an estimate of how much battery time is left and

adjust your battery settings to improve performance and make your battery last

longer.
