Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with

mobile phones or accessories. They could hurt themselves or others.
Products may contain small parts that could become detached and create a choking
hazard.

Power supply (Charger)

Connect the charger to power sources as marked on the product. Do not use
outdoors or in damp areas. Do not alter or subject the cord to damage or stress.
Unplug the unit before cleaning it. Never alter the plug. If it does not fit into the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by an electrician. When a power supply is
connected there is a small drain of power. To avoid this small energy waste,
disconnect the power supply when the product is fully charged. Use of charging
devices that are not Sony Mobile Communications Inc. branded may pose
increased safety risks.

GPS/Location based functions

Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining
functionality is provided "As is" and "With all faults". KDDI/Sony Mobile
Communications Inc. does not make any representation or warranty as to the
accuracy of such location information.

Use of location-based information by the device may not be uninterrupted or error
free and may additionally be dependent on network service availability. Please note
that functionality may be reduced or prevented in certain environments such as
building interiors or areas adjacent to buildings.

Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner which causes distraction from
driving.

Emergency calls

Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely upon mobile
phones for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all
networks, or when certain network services and/or phone features are used.

Flight mode

Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the device, can be enabled in Flight
mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in other areas where radio
transmissions are prohibited. In such environments, please seek proper
authorisation before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm the mobile phone
or other computers. Malware or harmful applications can include viruses, worms,
spyware, and other unwanted programs. While the device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, KDDI/Sony Mobile Communications Inc. does not
warrant or represent that the device will be impervious to introduction of malware.
You can however reduce the risk of malware attacks by using care when
downloading content or accepting applications, refraining from opening or
responding to messages from unknown sources, using trustworthy services to
access the Internet, and only downloading content to the mobile phone from known,
reliable sources.

Accessories

Use only Sony Mobile Communications Inc. branded original accessories and
certified service partners. Sony Mobile Communications Inc. does not test third­party accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio performance,
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-party accessories and parts may
pose a risk to your health or safety or decrease performance.

Battery

New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully charge the battery
before initial use. Use for the intended purpose only. Charge the battery in
temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +35°C (+95°F). Do not put the battery into
your mouth. Do not let the battery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off the
product before removing the battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal
strength, usage patterns, features selected and voice or data transmissions. Use of
an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Mobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of interference
by keeping a minimum distance of 15cm (6 inches) between the phone and the
device. Use the phone at your right ear. Do not carry the phone in your breast
pocket. Turn off the phone if you suspect interference. For all medical devices,
consult a physician and the manufacturer.

Driving

Some vehicle manufactures forbid the use of phones in their vehicles unless a
handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the installation. Check with the
vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that the mobile phone or Bluetooth
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full attention should
be given to driving at all times and local laws and regulations restricting the use of
wireless devices while driving must be observed.

Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment

Electronic equipment and batteries should not be included as household
waste but should be left at an appropriate collection point for recycling. This
helps prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human
health. Check local regulations by contacting your local city office, your household
waste disposal service, the shop where you purchased the product or calling a Sony
Mobile Communications Inc. call centre. Do not attempt to remove internal batteries.
Internal batteries shall be removed only by a waste treatment facility or trained
service professional.

Disposing of the battery

Check local regulations or call a Sony Mobile Communications Inc. call centre
for information. Never use municipal waste.

Memory Card

If the product comes complete with a removable memory card, it is generally
compatible with the handset purchased but may not be compatible with other
devices or the capabilities of their memory cards. Check other devices for
compatibility before purchase or use. If the product is equipped with a memory card
reader, check memory card compatibility before purchase or use.

Memory cards are generally formatted prior to shipping. To reformat the memory
card, use a compatible device. Do not use the standard operating system format
when formatting the memory card on a PC. For details, refer to the operating
instructions of the device or contact customer support.

Warning!

If the device requires an adapter for insertion into the handset or another device, do
not insert the card directly without the required adapter.

Precautions on memory card use

• Do not expose the memory card to moisture.

• Do not touch terminal connections with your hand or any metal object.

• Do not strike, bend, or drop the memory card.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the memory card.

• Do not use or store the memory card in humid or corrosive locations or in
excessive heat such as a closed car in summer, in direct sunlight or near a heater,
etc.

• Do not press or bend the end of the memory card adapter with excessive force.

• Do not let dirt, dust, or foreign objects get into the insert port of any memory card
adapter.

• Check you have inserted the memory card correctly.

• Insert the memory card as far as it will go into any memory card adapter needed.
The memory card may not operate properly unless fully inserted.

• We recommend that you make a backup copy of important data. We are not
responsible for any loss or damage to content you store on the memory card.

• Recorded data may be damaged or lost when you remove the memory card or
memory card adapter, turn off the power while formatting, reading or writing data,
or use the memory card in locations subject to static electricity or high electrical
field emissions.

Protection of personal information

Erase personal data before disposing of the product. To delete data, perform a
master reset. Deleting data from the phone memory does not ensure that it cannot
be recovered. KDDI/Sony Mobile Communications Inc. does not warrant against
recovery of information and does not assume responsibility for disclosure of any
information even after a master reset.

Loudness warning!

Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing.
