United States & Canada

THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.

The CDMA SO004 mobile phones have been designed to comply
with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by governmental authorities. These limits
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
international scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless
of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant
guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more information on
SAR, please refer to the safe and efficient use chapter in the User
Guide.

The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone

model when tested for use by the ear is 0.87 W/kg*, and when
worn on the body is 0.56 W/kg* for speech and 0.58 W/kg* for
data calls. Body worn measurements are made while the phone
is in use and worn on the body with a Sony Ericsson accessory
supplied with or designated for use with this phone. It is therefore
recommended that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original
accessories be used in conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones.

**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the
US, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (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 (i.e., by the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC
equipment authorization meet the government requirement for safe
exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on file at the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on FCC ID PY7A5880007.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile

phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by Sony
Ericsson for use at the ear is 0.69 W/kg (10g).

FCC Statement for the USA

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any change or modification not expressly approved by Sony
Ericsson may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
