Water resistance
In order for your device to be water resistant, the covers for the micro USB port, the
micro SD card, the micro SIM card and the headset connector must be firmly closed.
Avoid exposing your device to environments with excessive dust or moisture. Normal
wear and tear along with damage to your device can reduce its ability to resist dust
or moisture. Do not use your device in the following conditions:
>1m
Ocean water Swimming pool Diving
Hot water Sand/mud Other liquid
chemicals
Never submerge the device, the micro USB port, the micro SD card, the micro SIM
card or the headset connector in water, expose the device to any liquid chemicals, or
expose your device to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. If
water or liquid gets on the micro USB port, the micro SD card, the micro SIM card
and the headset connector, wipe it off with a dry cloth. The water resistance of the
micro USB port, the micro SD card, the micro SIM card and the headset connector is
not guaranteed in all environments or conditions.
If water gets on the speaker, dry the speaker for approximately three hours before
using it again.
All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, handsfree devices, micro
USB cables, micro SIM cards and microSD™ cards are not dust and water resistant
on their own.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use
of your device. If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer
to our Customer support service for help.
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. The higher the numbers,
the higher the respective protection.
The IP ratings of your device are IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X. This means that your device is
dust protected and is protected against the effects of immersion and low pressure
water stream. So you can use the device in extreme weather conditions, for example,
when it's snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high. You can also use the
device in dusty or sandy environments, and when your fingers are wet. See the table
for more details.

Android™ – what and why?
Your Xperia™ from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android devices can perform
many of the same functions as a computer and you can customise them to your own
needs. For example, you can add and delete applications, or enhance existing
applications to improve functionality. On Google Play™ you can download a range of
applications and games from a constantly growing collection. You can also integrate
applications on your Android™ device with other applications and with online
services that you use. For example, you can back up your contacts, access your
different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your
appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ devices are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
and your device supports this new software, you can update your device to get new
features and the latest improvements.
Your Android™ device is pre-loaded with Google™ services. To get the most out of the
provided Google™ services, you should have a Google™ account and sign in to it when you
first start your device. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in
Android™.
New software releases may not be compatible with all devices.
Applications
An application is a program on your device that helps you perform a task. For
example, there are applications to make calls, take photos and download more
applications.
