Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your mobile
phone.
These instructions are intended for your safety. Please
follow these guidelines. If the product has been subject to
any of the conditions listed below or you have any doubt
as

to its proper function make sure you have the product
checked by a certified service partner before charging or using it. Failure
to do so might entail a risk of product malfunction or even a potential
hazard to your health.

Recommendations for safe use of product (mobile
phone, battery, charger and other accessories)

• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean

and dust-free place.

• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.

• Do not expose your product to extr emely high or low

temperatures. Do not expose the battery to temperatures
above +60°C (+140°F).

• Do not expose your product to open flames

or

lit tobacco products.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.

• Do not paint your product.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your product.

Only Sony

Ericsson authorized personnel should

perform service.

• Do not use your product near medical equipment

without requesting permission from your treating physician
or

authorized medical staff.

• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas showing

the sign “turn off two-way radio”.

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 BECOME DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.

Power supply (Charger)

Connect the AC power adap ter 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. T he AC
power adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter
the cord or plug. If the plug does 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 fe w 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 inte nded for use with
your mobile phone. Using o ther batteries and chargers could be
dangerous.
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 the mobile phone
is being used.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery. Do not put the
battery into your mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Do

not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal object.
Doing 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 pacemakers and other
implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the
pacemaker, e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile p hone,
use

it at the ear on the opposite side of the body to 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 in formation.
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 has been
installed.
Always pay full attention to drivin g and pull off the road and park
before

making or answering a call if driving condition s so require.

Emergency calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. You shou ld therefore never rely solely
upon

any mobile phone for essential c ommunications (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
your mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR leve ls
above

the established limits (see below).

thus

Radio frequency (RF) exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.
When

it is turned on, it emits low level s 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
(Intern ational Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and
IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through
periodic and thorough evaluati on 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 a ctual SAR level of the mobile phone while
it

is 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.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not
mean that there are variations in safety. While th ere may be differences in
SAR levels among mobile phones, all Son y
are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
For phones sold in the US, before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communica tions
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requi rement for safe exposure. The tests are perfor med
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 oper ation, 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 mobile phone models
