CHILDREN

KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH. DO NOT ALLOW
CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR
ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES
OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE
THE MOBILE PHONE OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE
PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL
PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.

Power supply (Charger)

Connect the AC power adapter only to designated 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.

Battery

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.

56

This is the Internet version of the user’s guide © Print only for private use.

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, 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.

Emergency calls

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).

This is the Internet version of the user’s guide © Print only for private use.

57

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.

Radio frequency (RF) exposure and SAR

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.

58

This is the Internet version of the user’s guide © Print only for private use.

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
i

ntended 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.

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

For phones sold in the U.S., you can use your TTY terminal with your
Sony Ericsson mobile phone (with the necessary accessory). For
information on Accessible Solutions for individuals with special needs
call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center at 877 878 1996 (TTY)
or 877 207 2056 (voice), or visit the Sony Ericsson Special Needs
Center at www.SonyEricsson-snc.com.

extent permitted by, when applicable, statutory consumer rights.

Limited Warranty

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, S-221 88 Lund, Sweden,
(Sony Ericsson), provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone
and original accessory delivered with your mobile phone (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, 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

61

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 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 non-Sony 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.
