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.

2Find and tap Settings > Add account > Google.

3Follow the registration wizard to create a Google™ account, or sign in if you already have an account.

You can also sign in to or create a Google™ account from the setup guide the first time you start your device. Or you can go online and create an account at www.google.com/accounts.
