Guidelines for Safe and
Efficient Use
Please read this information before using your mobile
phone.
Recommendations
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place.
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme high or low
temperatures.
• 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 use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft,
• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area
above your car’s air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only
Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should perform
service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically
designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas could damage your mobile phone
and may violate regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended 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.
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.
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 intended 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.
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.
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 6 inches (15 cm) 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 the manufacturer of the
device.
CHILDREN
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.
Disposing of the Product
Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of
electronic products.
Power Supply
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.
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).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when
certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
Battery Use and Care
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your
mobile phone for the first time. The battery should only be charged in
temperatures between +41°F (+5°C) and +113°F (+45°C).
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 talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission
conditions when using the mobile phone. If the mobile phone is used
near a base station, less power is required and talk and standby times
are prolonged.
• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
• Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries and chargers
intended for use with your mobile phone. Other chargers may not
charge sufficiently or may produce excessive heat. Using other
batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal
object. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,
never above +140°F (+60°C). For maximum battery
capacity, use the battery in room temperature.
• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the
battery.
• Keep out of children’s reach.
• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries or call your
local Sony Ericsson Call Center for information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste.
Use a battery disposal facility if available.
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 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 an, for this Product, Sony Ericsson
authorised 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 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.
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.
