personnel should perform service.
• Do not direct the infrared ray at anyone's
eye and make sure that it does not disturb
any other infrared units.
• To avoid hearing impairment, accept the call before
holding your product (or portable handsfree device) to
your ear.
ANTENNA
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed
by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of
unauthorised or modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss
of performance and SAR levels above the recommended
limits (see below).
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone.
Do not cover the top of the phone when in use, as this
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk
and standby times.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE
AND SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or
radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
62Additional information
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of
the mobile phone while operating can be well below this
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to
use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more
likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among
mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone's
compliance with the radio frequency exposure
guidelines. For example, the Federal Communication
Commission in the U.S. requires that some
manufacturers' accessories shall be tested, and Sony
Ericsson has done so with respect to its products. To
avoid causing loss of performance or radio frequency
exposure levels above the permissible limits it is
recommended that you only use Sony Ericsson or
Ericsson original accessories intended for use with the
mobile phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your
body while it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony
Ericsson or Ericsson original body worn accessory,
please ensure that the mobile phone is positioned a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body and that you are not
using an accessory that contain any metal.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile
phone model is included with the material that comes
with this mobile phone. This information can also be
found, together with more information on radio frequency

Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use
of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use
handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use only
Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended
for use with your product. Please note that because of
possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in
their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, e.g.
in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone,
place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the mobile
phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is
limited. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more
information.
For other medical devices, please consult the
manufacturer of the device.
CHILDREN
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD
ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR
ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
Your mobile phone should not be placed in
municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
POWER SUPPLY
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power
sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is
positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or
stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from any power source before attempting to clean it. The
AC power adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp
areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit
into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you
should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
networks or when certain network services and/or mobile
phone features are in use. Check with your local service
provider.
Emergency Response Center Location Technology
Using wireless technology to help find you in case of an
emergency is a goal shared by the entire wireless
industry, local phone companies and the emergency
response centers. Your phone may support an
emergency positioning system being implemented by
some service providers. But the complexity of mobile
communication technology, combined with related
implementation technologies, means that your wireless
carrier, the local phone companies, and emergency
response centers all have a role to play in implementing
this capability.
64Additional information
So even if your phone supports this technology and
even if the locating features works in one area there is no
guarantee that it will work in all areas for all calls to
emergency response centers. Always review with an
emergency response center all location data you have,
including intersecting streets, as well as any landmarks,
to assist in locating you.
Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work with
the entire communications industry to improve location
features for emergency response.
Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s)
including operation, coverage, or range of the network
services provided by network carriers independent of
Sony Ericsson.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
The battery can only be charged in temperatures
between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
A new battery or one that has not been used for a
long time could have reduced capacity the first few times
it is used.
The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the mobile phone. If
the mobile phone is used near a base station, less power
is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
• Use only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded original
batteries and chargers intended for use with your mobile
phone. Other chargers may not charge sufficiently or
may produce excessive heat. Using other batteries and
chargers could be dangerous.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another
metal object. This could short-circuit and damage the
battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme
temperatures, never above +60°C (+140°F).
For maximum battery capacity, use the
battery at room temperature.
• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery.
• Keep out of children’s reach.
• Use the battery for the intended purpose
only.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
DISPOSING OF THE BATTERY
Please check local regulations for disposal
of batteries or call your local Sony Ericsson
Customer Care Center for information.
The battery should never be placed in
municipal waste. Use a battery disposal
facility if available.

Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in
the EU country you are in, please call the local Sony
Ericsson Customer Care Centre. Please observe that
