power sources as marked on the product. Make sure
the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected
to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug the unit from any power source before
attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must
not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter
the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers
intended for use with your mobile phone. Other
chargers may not be designed to the same safety
and performance standards.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
A new battery or one that has not been used for a
long time could have reduced capacity the first few
times it is used. The battery should only be charged
in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C
(+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries
intended for use with your mobile phone. Using other
batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
The talk and standby times depend on several
different conditions such as signal strength, operating
temperature, application usage patterns, features
selected and voice or data transmissions when using
the mobile phone.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the
battery. Do not allow the battery to be put into the
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery. Use the battery for the intended
purpose only.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
Important information
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile
phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept
between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the
risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately
turn off your mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist
for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult your
physician and the manufacturer of the device.
Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the
use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers
to use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you
use only Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended
for use with your product.
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless
a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the
installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas,
on all cellular networks, or when certain network
services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of antenna
devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson specifically
for this model could damage your mobile phone,
reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above
the established limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in
use, as this affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels
of radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of 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 the
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below this value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
Page 65
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in
safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels
among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone
models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
For phones sold in the U.S., before a phone model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the 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 (that is, at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn
operation, this phone has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset
is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body
without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone
or when used with the original Sony Ericsson body
worn accessory intended for this phone. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile
phone model is included with the material that comes
with this mobile phone. This information can also
be found, together with more information on radio
frequency exposure and SAR, on:
www.sonyericsson.com.

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, and for
a subsequent period of one (1) year.
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
authorised 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 or 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
Important information
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 The warranty is valid only if the original proof of
purchase issued to the original purchaser by a
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 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 hundreds of times. However, it will
eventually wear out - this is not a defect. When
the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter,
it is time to replace your 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 nonSony Ericsson authorised 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 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.
