your mobile phone. Other chargers may not be designed to the same
safety and performance standards.
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.
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 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).
Efficient use
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:
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

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund, Sweden,
(Sony Ericsson) or its local affiliated company, 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 for
further information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants
the mobile phone 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. All original accessory delivered with the
mobile phone will be warranted within six (6) months from the date of
purchase.
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/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 and other
information may be lost when your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired 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.
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 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 nonSony 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.
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/regions 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.
If you have purchased your Product in a country/region 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/region or in Switzerland or in Turkey, under the warranty
conditions prevailing in the country/region in which you require servicing,
