phone” chapter gives a quick overview of the main
functions of the phone, shortcuts and general

card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that
keeps track of your phone number, the services
included in your subscription, and your phonebook
information.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, phonebook entries may be saved in the phone
memory.

ANTENNA
Only use an a ntenna that ha s been specifically de signed
by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss
of performan ce and SAR level s ab ove t he r ecomme nded
limits (see below).
EFFICIENT USE
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 , t h us shorteni ng talk
and standb y t imes.
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).
Govern m ents around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(Intern at ional Comm ission on No n- Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodi c and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels include a
64Additional information
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, reg ard less of a ge and he alt h, a nd to a ccou nt f or
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 det erm i ned at the highest certified pow er
level in laboratory co nditions, but the actual S AR 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.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelin es do not mean tha t the re a re v ari ati ons in saf et y .
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.
Before a phon e mode l is avai lab le f or sal e to t he pub li c, i t
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are pe r f or m ed
in positions and locations (that i s , at t h e ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is
positioned a minimum of 20 mm from the body without
any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used
with the original Sony Ericsson bo dy worn acce ssory
intended for this phone. Use of other accessories may
Page 66
not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
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

DRIVING
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use
of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use
handsfre e solutions. We recommen d t hat you use on ly
Ericsson or S ony Ericsson handsfree s ol ut ions intended
for use with your product. Please note that because of
possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle m anufacture r s forbid the u se 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 bef ore making or answerin g a call if driving
conditions so require.
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and othe r i m planted eq ui pment. Plea se
avoid placing the mo bi le phone ov er t he pacemaker, for
example, in your breast pocket. When using the mobile
phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a
.
minimum di stance of 6 inc hes (15 cm) is kept between
the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of
interf erence is limit ed. If you have any reason to suspect
that int er fer ence is t aki ng pl ac e, i mme diat el y tur n of f you r
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more
information.
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 mu nicipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
POWER SU PP LY
Connect t he AC power adapter on ly to designated powe r
sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is
positione d so that it will not be subjected to dama ge or
stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
Additional information65
Page 67
from any pow er s ource before attempti ng t o 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 pho nes operat e using ra dio signals, which ca n not
guarantee connecti on unde r all cond iti ons. Th erefore you
should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for
essential communications (for example, medical
emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
networks or whe n cer t ain net wo rk s erv ices and /or mo bi le
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
66Additional information
response centers all have a role to play in implem enting
this capability.
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. Alwa ys review with a n
emergency response center all locat ion data you ha ve,
including intersecting streets, as well as any landmarks,
to assist in locating you.
Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work with
the entir e communications indu st r y t o improve location
features f or em er gency 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.

you use your mobile phone for the first time. The battery
can only be charged in temperatures between +41°F
(+5°C) and +113°F (+45°C).
