Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please follow these guidelines. Failure to do so might entail a potential health risk or product malfunction. If in doubt as to its proper function, have the product checked by a certified service partner before charging or using it.

Recommendations for care and safe use of our products

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

•Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

•Do not expose to liquid or moisture or excess humidity.

•For optimum performance, the product should not be operated in temperatures below +5°C (+41°F) or above +35°C (+95°F). Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +35°C (+95°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.

•Consult with authorized 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 your 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 the Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is uncomfortable or will be subject to pressure.

Children

Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with mobile phones 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. 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.

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 +35°C (+95°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. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Mobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of 22cm (8.7 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 manufactures forbid the use of phones 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 the mobile phone 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". KDDI/
		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 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 mobile phones for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network services and/or phone features are used.

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 evaluation 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, the phone has been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory and worn on the body. Use of the phone other than as tested may impact SAR and result in non-compliance with such RF exposure limits.
