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. 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. Use of charging devices that are not Sony
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 +5°C(+41°F) and +45°C(+113°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. Only
Sony service partners should remove or replace built-in
batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony branded may
pose increased safety risks. Replace the battery only with
another Sony battery that has been qualified with the
product per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified
4
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 15 cm(6 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 use in proximity to personal medical
devices, please consult a physician and the device
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 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”. Sony 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.
5
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.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony 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
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
6
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 accessory and
worn on the body. When operating with “Hotspot”
functionality engaged, a separation distance of 10mm was
used.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency
exposure, go to: www.sonymobile.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 authorisation before enabling Bluetooth or
WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can
harm the mobile 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 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
7
from opening or responding to messages from unknown
sources, using trustworthy services to access the Internet,
and only downloading content to the mobile phone from
known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony branded original accessories and certified
service partners. Sony does not test third-party
accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure,
radio performance, loudness, electric safety and other
areas. Third-party accessories and parts may pose a risk
to your health or safety or decrease performance.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
In the US, compatible Sony Xperia phones may offer
compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of necessary
accessory). For more information call the Sony 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
Contact Center or at www.sonymobile .com/recycling. Do
8
not attempt to remove internal batteries. Internal batteries
shall be removed only 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 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.
SIM card
If your phone is equipped with a standard-sized SIM card
slot, inserting an incompatible SIM card (for example, a
micro SIM card, a micro SIM card with a non-Sony
adapter, or a standard SIM card cut into a micro SIM card
size) in the SIM card slot may damage your SIM card or
your phone permanently. Sony does not warrant and will
not be responsible for any damage caused by use of
incompatible or modified SIM cards.
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.
9
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.

Limited Warranty
Sony Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund,
Sweden, (Sony) or its local affiliated company, provides
this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone, original
accessory delivered with your mobile 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 Contact Center (national rates may
apply) or visit www.sonymobile.com to get further
information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony
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.
13
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 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 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 Product is repaired or replaced. At present, Sony
may be prevented by applicable law, other regulation or
technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain
downloads. Sony 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 Product such as
downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in your
Sony 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 authorised
dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial
number**, is presented with the Product to be repaired or
replaced. Sony 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 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
14
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.
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
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
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers
approved by Sony.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour may
occur between phones. There may be tiny bright or dark
dots on the display. It occurs 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,
Sony will not be responsible for the operation, availability,
coverage, services or range of that system.
