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 use in environments where relevant IP rating
limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including excess
depths and/or pressures of liquid and/or dust) or expose
to excess humidity.

•

For optimum performance, the product should not
be operated in temperatures below -10°C(+14°F) or
above +45°C(+113°F). Do not expose the battery to
temperatures above +60°C(+140°F).

•

Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products.

•

Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product.

•

the product. Only Sony authorised personnel
should perform service.

•

Consult with authorised 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.

Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not

allow children to play with mobile devices 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 devices / devices with radio transmitters may affect
implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of interference
by keeping a minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches)
between the Sony product and the medical device. Use the
Sony device at your right ear, when applicable. Do not carry
the device in your breast pocket. Turn off the device if you
suspect interference. For use in proximity to personal
medical devices, please consult a physician and the device
manufacturer.

Driving

In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of
mobile devices 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 a
mobile device 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

5

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 Sony mobile devices for essential
communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on
all networks, or when certain network services and/or
mobile device features are used. Please note that some
Sony devices are not capable of supporting voice calls,
including emergency calls.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony could
damage the mobile device, reduce performance, and
produce Specific Absorption Rate (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 mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree
functionality 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
