How To Use Emergency Contact Information – Sony Xperia Z3
Learn how to use emergency contact information on your Sony Xperia Z3. You can add and edit ICE (In Case of Emergency) information in the Contacts application. You can enter medical details, such as allergies and medications that you are using, plus information about relatives and friends who can be contacted in case of an emergency.
