KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH. DO NOT ALLOW
CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR M OBILE PHONE OR IT S
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 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 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 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.
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.
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 phone,
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 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 has been installed.
Always pay 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 in all conditions. You should therefore never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications (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 Ericsson specifically for this model could damage
your mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above
the established limits (see below).
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the
top of the phone when it is 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 Specific
Absorption Rate (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 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 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 US, before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (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 accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information about this mobile phone model
is included with the material accompanying this mobile phone. This
information can also be found, together with more information on radio
frequency exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com/health.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
For phones sold in the US, 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 on 877 878 1996 (TTY) or
877 207 2056 (voice), or visit the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center at

Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident,
software or hardware modification or adjustment, acts of God or
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 colour 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, 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.
Sony Ericsson disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or
implied, for failures caused to the Product or peripheral devices as a
result of viruses, trojans horses, spyware, or other malicious software.
Sony Ericsson strongly recommends that you install appropriate virus
protection software on your Product and any peripheral devices
connected to it, as available, and update it regularly, to better protect
your device. It is understood, however, that such software will never
fully protect your Product or its peripheral devices and Sony Ericsson
disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, in case of failure
by such antivirus software to fulfill its intended purpose.
7 Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.

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.
