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

The CDMA SOX02 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

The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this
phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.61 W/kg*,
and when worn on the body is 0.76 W/kg* for speech and

0.71 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 PY7A5880011.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website

* 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.

This mobile phone model CDMA SOX02 has been designed
to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure
to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
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 safety

SAR data information for residents in countries that have
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission of Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
which is 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for
example European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by Sony
Ericsson for use at the ear is 0.52 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
