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 your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your phone or
Bluetooth handsfree will not affect the electronic
systems in your 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 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
communications. 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 your 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 your 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.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm your phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include
viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted
programs. While your device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson
does not warrant or represent that your device
will be impervious to 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 your 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, sound 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 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.

73Important information
Disposal of old electrical
and electronic equipment
Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as household
waste but should be left at an
appropriate collection point for recycling. This
helps prevent potential negative consequences
for the environment and human health. Check
local regulations by contacting your local city
office, your household waste disposal service,
the shop where you purchased the product
or calling a Sony Ericsson Call Center.
Disposing of the battery
Check local regulations or call
a Sony Ericsson Call Center for
information. Never use municipal
waste.
Memory Card
If your 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 your product is equipped with
a memory card reader, check memory card
compatibility before purchase or use.
The memory card is 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.
Warning!
If your 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.
• 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,
or turn off the power while formatting, reading or
writing data, or when you 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.

Limited Warranty
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB,
Nya Vattentornet, 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
Call 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* 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.

75Important information
Please note that some of your personal settings,
downloads and other information may be lost when
your Sony Ericsson Product is repaire d 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 tear and wear, 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 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 the 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, av ailability, 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 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 Call Center. Please
observe that certain services may not be possible
elsewhere than in 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.
