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 extreme 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 your product.
Only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should
perform service.
• Do not use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft,
or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
• Do not use your product in an area where
a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
• Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car's air bag.
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.
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 c an only be charged in tempe ratures 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.
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 c ontacts on the b attery touch anot her
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 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 your physician and the
manufacturer of the device.
Driving
Please verify whether 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).
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 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.
For phones sold in t he U.S., before a ph one model is availa ble 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.
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.
