Components

The basic building units of Chinese
characters are components that are
made up of strokes. After entering the
first two strokes of the desired character,
the component and character
candidates that started with that stroke
are displayed in the candidate row.
Using components is a fast method for
entering complex characters.

The smaller candidates surrounded by
dotted frames are components, and the
bigger candidates without dotted frames
are characters.

For example, to enter “

信息

”

1 Enter “ ”, “ ” and “ ”.
2 Move the cursor to “ 信 ”, press .

Move the cursor to “ 息 ”, press
again to select “ 息 ”.

Example of using the wild card key

The wild card key , is used to
supplement unclear strokes in entering
characters. If you want to enter “ 互 ”,
but you only know that “一 ” is the first
and the last stroke of the character and
that the total number of strokes is four,
enter , , , . The
character is displayed in the
candidate row.

Personal medical devices

Mobile phones may affect implanted medical
equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping
a minimum distance of 15 cm (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 manufacturers forbid the use of phones
in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an
external antenna supports the installation. Check
with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to
be sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in
your 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.

This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.

73Important information

GPS/Location based functions

Some products provide GPS/Location based
functions. Location determining functionality is
provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony Ericsson
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 ad ditionally
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
communications. Calls may not be possible in all
areas, on all networks, or when certain network
services and/or phone features are used.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by
Sony Ericsson could damage your phone, reduce
performance, and produce 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 your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy.
International safety guidelines have been developed
through periodic and thorough evalu ation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels
of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a

safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons and to account for any variations in
measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when
using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined
at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but because the phone is designed to
use the minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well
below this value. There is no proof of difference in
safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US
must be certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). When required, tests are
performed when the phone is placed at the ear and
when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm your mobile phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,
worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While your device does employ security measures
to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant
or represent that your 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 your mobile phone from known, reliable sources.

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 warranted for
the remaining time of the original warranty period or
for thirty (30) days from the date of repair, whichever
is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use
of functionally equivalent reconditioned units.

approved by Sony Ericsson.

by installations, modifications, or repair or opening
of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson
authorised person.
