IMEI number

Every device has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You should keep a copy of this number. If your device is stolen, your network provider can use your IMEI number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country.

To view your IMEI number in the device

1From your Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status.

3Scroll to IMEI to view the IMEI number.

Setting a screen lock

There are several ways to lock the screen on your device. For example, you can use the Face Unlock feature, which uses a picture of your face to unlock the screen. You can also set a screen unlock pattern, a number-based PIN lock, or a text-based password.

It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages. Refer to Sony customer support for more information.

To set a screen lock

1From your Home screen, tap > Settings > Security > Screen lock.

2Select an option.

To set up the Face Unlock feature

1From your Home screen, tap > Settings > Security > Screen lock.

2Tap Face Unlock, then follow the instructions in your device to capture your face.

3After your face is successfully captured, tap Continue.

4Select a backup lock method and follow the instructions in the device to complete the setup.

The Face Unlock feature is less secure than a screen lock pattern, PIN, or password. Someone who looks similar to you could unlock your device.

For best results, capture your face in an indoor area that is well lit but not too bright, and hold the device at eye level.

To unlock the screen using the Face Unlock feature

1Activate the screen.

2Look at your device from the same angle you used to capture your Face Unlock photo.

If the Face Unlock feature fails to recognise your face, you need to draw the backup pattern or enter the PIN to unlock the screen.
