Using the touchscreen

A protective plastic sheet is attached to the screen of your phone when you buy it.

You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the

touchscreen might not function properly.

When your phone is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to

save battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on

the touchscreen when you are not using it. You can also set personal locks to protect

your subscription and make sure only you can access your phone content.

Your phone screen is made from glass. Do not touch the screen if the glass is cracked or

shattered. Avoid trying to repair a damaged screen yourself. Glass screens are sensitive to

drops and mechanical shocks. Cases of negligent care are not covered by the Sony warranty

service.
