repair partner to investigate a damaged device.

•Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place.

•Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

•Do not use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including excess depths and/or pressures of liquid and/or dust) or expose to excess humidity.

•For optimum performance, the product should not be operated in temperatures below -10°C(+14°F) or above +45°C(+113°F). Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +60°C(+140°F).

•Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products.

•Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product.

•Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony authorised personnel should perform service.

•Consult with authorised medical staff and the instructions of the medical device manufacturer before using the product near pacemakers or other medical devices or equipment.

•Discontinue use of electronic devices, or disable the radio transmitting functionality of the device, where required or requested to do so.

•Do not use where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.

•Do not place the product, or install wireless equipment, in the area above an air bag in a car.

•Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or splinters that could be harmful upon contact.

•Do not use a Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is uncomfortable or will be subject to pressure.

•Avoid contact against your skin for longer periods. The heat generated when your device is transmitting can irritate your skin. It is recommended to use a headset for long phone calls.

Children

Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with mobile devices 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 branded may pose increased safety risks.

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 +45°C(+113°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. Only Sony service partners should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony branded may pose increased safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony battery that has been qualified with the product per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Mobile devices / devices with radio transmitters may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches) between the Sony product and the medical device. Use the Sony device at your right ear, when applicable. Do not carry the device in your breast pocket. Turn off the device if you suspect interference. For use in proximity to personal medical devices, please consult a physician and the device manufacturer.

Driving

In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of mobile devices 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 a mobile device 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.

GPS/Location based functions

Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining functionality is provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony 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 Sony Mobile devices for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network services and/or mobile device features are used. Please note that some Sony devices are not capable of supporting voice calls, including emergency calls.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony could damage the mobile device, reduce performance, and produce Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels above the established limits. Do not cover the antenna with your hand as this affects call quality, power levels and can shorten talk and standby times.

Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

When the mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree functionality is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy. International safety guidelines have been developed through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted
