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 +14°F(-10°C) or above
+113°F(+45°C). Do not expose the battery to
temperatures above +140°F(+60°C).

•

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. Only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel
should perform service.

•

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 the 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 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. If it does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by an electrician. 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.

3

Use of charging devices that are not Sony Ericsson branded may
pose increased safety risks.

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 +41°F(+5°C)
and +113°F(+45°C). 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. Only Sony Ericsson service
partners should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of
batteries that are not Sony Ericsson branded may pose increased
safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony Ericsson
battery that has been qualified with the product per the standard
IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of
interference by keeping a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 cm)
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 the vehicle manufacturer's
representative to be sure that the 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.

4

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 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 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.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson could
damage the 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 the 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 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.

For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure,
go to: www.sonyericsson.com/health.

Flight mode

Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the device, can be
enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in
other areas where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorization before enabling
Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.

Malware

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

Accessories

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories and certified
service partners. Sony Ericsson does not test third-party
accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio
performance, loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third­party accessories and parts may pose a risk to your health or
safety or decrease performance.

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

In the US, compatible Sony Ericsson phones may offer
compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of necessary accessory).
For more information call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center
on 877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or go to
www.sonyericsson-snc.com.

Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment
and batteries

The crossed-out bin symbol on batteries and electronic equipment
means that electronic equipment and batteries should not be
disposed of with household waste, but should be left at an
appropriate collection point for recycling. By recycling our
products, you will help to prevent potential negative consequences
for the environment and human health. Check local regulations and
the location of collection points for used electronic equipment and
batteries by contacting your local city office, your household waste
disposal service, the shop where you purchased the product, by
calling a Sony Ericsson Contact Center or at
www.sonyericsson.com/recycling. Do not attempt to remove
internal batteries. Internal batteries must only be removed by a
waste treatment facility or trained service professional.

Memory card

If the product comes complete with a removable memory card, it is
generally compatible with the handset purchased but may not be
compatible with other devices or the capabilities of their memory
cards. Check other devices for compatibility before purchase or

7

use. If the product is equipped with a memory card reader, check
memory card compatibility before purchase or use.

Memory cards are generally formatted prior to shipping. To
reformat the memory card, use a compatible device. Do not use
the standard operating system format when formatting the memory
card on a PC. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
device or contact customer support.

For Devices Supporting 3D Viewing capabilities

In viewing 3D images shot with this phone on a 3D-compatible
monitor, you may experience discomfort in the form of eye strain,
fatigue, or nausea. To prevent these symptoms, we recommend
that you take regular breaks. However, you need to determine for
yourself the length and frequency of breaks you require, as they
vary according to the individual. If you experience any type of
discomfort, stop viewing the 3D images until you feel better, and
consult a physician as necessary. Also refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the device or software you have
connected or are using with this phone. Note that a child’s
eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly children
below the age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist
before letting your child view 3D images, and make sure he/she
observes the above precautions when viewing such images.

Warning!

If the device requires an adapter for insertion into the handset or
another device, do not insert the card directly without the required
adapter.

Precautions on memory card use

•

Do not expose the memory card to moisture.

•

Do not touch terminal connections with your hand or any metal
object.

•

Do not strike, bend, or drop the memory card.

•

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the memory card.

8

•

Do not use or store the memory card in humid or corrosive
locations or in excessive heat such as a closed car in summer, in
direct sunlight or near a heater, etc.

•

Do not press or bend the end of the memory card adapter with
excessive force.

•

Do not let dirt, dust, or foreign objects get into the insert port of
any memory card adapter.

•

Check you have inserted the memory card correctly.

•

Insert the memory card as far as it will go into any memory card
adapter needed. The memory card may not operate properly
unless fully inserted.

•

We recommend that you make a backup copy of important data.
We are not responsible for any loss or damage to content you
store on the memory card.

•

Recorded data may be damaged or lost when you remove the
memory card or memory card adapter, turn off the power while
formatting, reading or writing data, or use the memory card in
locations subject to static electricity or high electrical field
emissions.

Protection of personal information

Erase personal data before disposing of the product. To delete
data, perform a master reset. Deleting data from the phone
memory does not ensure that it cannot be recovered.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant against recovery of information
and does not assume responsibility for disclosure of any
information even after a master reset.

Loudness warning!

Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing.

Limited Warranty

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund,
Sweden, (Sony Ericsson) or its local affiliated company, provides
this Limited Warranty for your phone, original accessory delivered
with your phone, and/or your mobile computing product
(hereinafter referred to as “Product”).

Should your Product need warranty service, please return it to
the dealer from whom it was purchased, or contact your local
Sony Ericsson Contact Center (national rates may apply) or visit
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. This Limited Warranty will last for a period of one (1)
year as from the original date of purchase of the Product.

What we will do

If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under
normal use and service, due to defects in design, materials or
workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorized distributors or service
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product,
will, at their option, either repair or replace the Product in
accordance 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 and
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 technical 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.

This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of
purchase for this Product issued by a Sony Ericsson authorized
dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, 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 repair for
the defect concerned, or the replaced Product shall be warranted
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
failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware
modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from
liquid.

A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged more
than a hundred times. However, it will eventually wear out – this is
not a defect and corresponds to normal wear and tear. When the
talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to
replace the battery. Sony Ericsson recommends that you use
only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.

Minor variations in display brightness and color may occur
between phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots 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 authorized 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
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST

12

13

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 consumer’s statutory
rights under applicable legislation in force, nor the consumer’s
rights against the dealer arising from their sales / purchase
contract.

*Geographical scope of the warranty

If you have purchased your Product in a country member of the
European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland or the Republic of
Turkey, and such Product was intended for sale in the EEA or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, you can have your Product serviced in
any EEA country or in Switzerland or in Turkey, under the warranty
conditions prevailing in the country in which you require servicing,
provided that an identical Product is sold in such country by an
authorized Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is
sold in the country you are in, please call the local Sony Ericsson
Contact Center. Please observe that certain services may not be
available outside the country of original purchase, for example,
due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior
which is different from equivalent models sold in other countries.
Please note in addition that it may sometimes not be possible to
repair SIM-locked Products.

** In some countries/regions additional information (such as a
valid warranty card) may be requested.
