Inserting the SIM Card
Your SIM card contains a computer chip with your service details and

it from contact with static electricity.

To avoid corrupting the memory of the SIM card, always switch off your phone
before removing or inserting your SIM card.
1 Remove the battery pack.
2 Slide the tab in the direction of the arrow
to unlock the tray.
3 Lift up the tray and slide the SIM card into
the tray.
(You can also find a brief explanation on
the SIM card holder.)
4 Close the tray with the SIM card inserted.
5 Slide the tab in the direction of the arrow
to lock the tray.

Note
Position the SIM card with the gold contacts facing up and the angled corner to the
upper left as you insert it into the SIM card holder.

3 Charge the battery pack independently.
Make sure that the back of the battery pack (the side with the

facing up when connecting.

Charging indicator on the battery pack
A red light comes on when charging starts. The light turns green,
after about 3 hours, when charging is complete. But, it may vary
depending on certain conditions e.g. If your phone is switched on or
temperature is beyond operational range. As an energy saving
measure, disconnect the AC adaptor from the mains socket and from
the phone after charging.
The battery icon on the display indicates charging status. When the
battery is almost completely charged, the battery icon shows all bars.
However, this display shows an approximate indication only, check the
indicator on the battery pack (refer to the above) to confirm whether or not
the battery pack is fully charged.
Important
• If the red light on the battery pack blinks, reconnect the AC adaptor and reinsert
the phone (or the battery pack). If you repeat this process several times and the
indicator continues blinking, the battery pack might be defective. Stop charging
the battery pack immediately and replace it.
• Use only the Sony-specified CMD-MZ5 battery pack and charger. Your battery is
equipped with short circuit protection. If you short your battery accidentally,
charge the battery immediately to unlock the short circuit protection.
Usage time
When your battery pack is nearly discharged the battery icon on the
display blinks and the phone beeps to inform you that only a short
amount of calling time remains.

Switching on Your Phone
To switch your phone on/off, keep pressed.
Entering PIN
For security reasons, your SIM card is protected with
a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is
supplied with your SIM card. Enter your PIN with
the keys (the PIN appears in code as ) and
press the Jog Dial (or
) to confirm your entry.
Getting
Started
If you do not enter a PIN code, your phone will automatically switch off
after approximately 2 minutes. It is possible but not recommended to
disable the PIN code prompt (see “Main Menu Operations-Settings-
Security” page 66).
Note
If the Personal lock has been set, there are some cases that you need to additionally
input the security code.
Warning
You only have 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN. After the third attempt, your SIM
is blocked and you must enter your PUK code (Personal Unblocking Key). (see also
“Troubleshooting” page 103).
If necessary, you can obtain your PUK code from your Network Operator/Service
Provider.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls (112, 999, etc.) are possible when you have network
coverage even if there is no SIM card in the phone (even if the keys are
locked). The support of this feature depends on the Network Operator.

Connecting to the Network
After successfully entering your PIN code, your phone searches for an
available GSM network. The network search is automatic, but may take a
few seconds (see also “Main Menu Operations-Settings-Preferences” page
64).
You are ready to make and receive calls when the
Network Operator's name appears on the display.
The following indicates the strength of the received network signal. If the
signal is very weak, there is a risk of losing service.
Strong signal Weak signal No service
If you cannot obtain service
One reason for failure to obtain network service is that the reception
strength may be too weak. Try moving to a higher elevation, to a window
or open space. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the antenna.
Roaming
If you are out of range of your “Home” Network Operator, especially
when you are abroad, another Network Operator may be selected
automatically, subject to signal strength and roaming agreements between
Network Operators. Contact your Network Operator/Service Provider for
details.
