CHILDREN
KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH. 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.
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources as
marked on the product. Make sure the cord is position ed so tha t it wi ll
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.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers intended for use
with your mobile phone. Other chargers may not be designed to the
same safety and performanc e standards.
Battery
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your
mobile phone for the first time. A new battery or one that has not been
used for a long time could have reduced ca pa ci ty the fi rs t fe w ti me s i t
is used. The battery should only be char ged in te mperat ures b etwe en
+5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use
with your mobile phone. Using other batteries and chargers could be
dangerous.
The talk and standby times depend on several different conditions
such as signal strength, operating temperature, application usage
patterns, features selected and voice or data transmissions when
using the mobile phone.
77
Page 80
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 78 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery. Do not allow
the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic
if swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short- circuit an d damag e the batt ery.
Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
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 your physician and the
manufacturer of the device.
Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use of mobile
phones while driving or re quire dri vers to us e handsfre e solutions. We
recommend that you use only Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions
intended for use with your product.
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manuf acturers 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.
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).
78
Page 81
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 79 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular
networks, or when certain network services and/or mobile phone
features are in use. Check with your local service provider.
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of antenna devices not
marketed by Sony Ericsson specifically for this model could damage
your mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established 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 po wer le vel than n eeded, th us
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 leve ls 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 thoro ugh evaluati on of scienti fic
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 al l persons, regardless o f 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 absor bed by the body when using a
mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power 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.
79
Page 82
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 80 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
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 radi o freq uency exposu re
guidelines.
For phones sold in the U.S., before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it 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 performed in positions
and locations (that is, at the 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 15 mm from the b ody witho ut an y
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original
Sony Ericsson body worn accessory intended for this phone. Use of
other accessories may 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 found, together with more information on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
For phones sold in the U.S., you can use your TTY terminal with your
Sony Ericsson mobile phone (with the necessary accessory). For
information on Accessible Solutions for individuals with special needs
call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center at 877 878 1996 (TTY)
or 877 207 2056 (voice), or visit the Sony Ericsson Special Needs
Center at www.SonyEricsson-snc.com.

www.SonyEricsson.com to get further information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson
warrants this Product to be free from defects in design, material and
workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer, and
for a subsequent period of one (1) year.
What we will do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under

workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorised distributors or service
82
Page 85
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 83 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product,
will, at their option, either repair or re pl a c e the Pr odu ct i n acco r dan ce
with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a
handling fee if a returned Product is found not to be under warranty
according to the conditions below.
Please note that some of your personal settings, downloads or other
information may be lost when your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired
or replaced. At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented by
applicable law, other regulation or techni cal restrictions from making a
backup copy of certain downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take any
responsibility for any lost information of any kind and will not
reimburse you for any such loss. You should always make backup
copies of all the information stored on your Sony Ericsson Product
such as downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in your
Sony Ericsson Product for repair or replacement.
Conditions
1 The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to
the original purchaser by a Sony Ericsson authorised dealer,
specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, for this
Product, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced.
Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this
information has been removed or changed after the original
purchase of the Product from the dealer.
2 If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or
replaced Product shall be warran ted for the remaining time of the
original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of
repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the
use of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts
or components will become the property of Sony Ericsson.
3 This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to
normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, including but not limited to
use in other than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and
maintenance of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any

83
Page 86
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 84 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from
liquid. A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times. However, it will eventually wear out – this is
not a defect. When the talk-time or standby time is noticeably
shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only ba tteries and chargers approved
by Sony Ericsson. Minor variations in display brightness and color
may occur between phones. There may be tiny b rig ht o r dar k do ts
on the display. These are called defective pixels and occur when
individual dots have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two
defective pixels are deemed acceptable. Minor variations in
camera image appearance may occur between phones. This is
nothing uncommon and is not regarded as a defective camera
module.
4 Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is
provided by a carrier independent from Sony Ericsson, Sony
Ericsson will not be responsible for the operation, availability,
coverage, services or range of that system.
5 This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by
installations, modifications, or repair or opening of the Product
performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorised person.
6 The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been
caused by use of accessories or other peripheral devices which
are not Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended for
use with the Product.
7 Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the
warranty.
8 THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED
WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON
OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
84
Page 87
J230A-UG-EN.book Page 85 Tuesday, February 14, 2006 9:37 AM
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST
PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO THE FULL EXTENT
THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration of
implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you.
The warranty provided does not affect the con sumer's sta tutor y righ ts
under applicable legislation in force, n or the consumer’s righ ts against
the dealer arising from their sales / purchase contract.
