Fixed dialing
The Fixed Dialing function allows calls to be
made only to certain numbers saved on the
SIM card. If an attempt is made to call other
numbers, the message Number not permitted. appears

allows fixed numbers to be saved. The fixed numbers
are protected by your PIN2.
• Partial numbers can be saved. For example, storing
0123456 allows calls to be made to all numbers
starting with 0123456.
• Numbers that include question marks can be saved.
For example, storing 01234567?0, allows calls to be
made to numbers from 0123456700 to 0123456790. To
enter a question mark, press and hold .
Note: Calls to the international emergency number
112 can still be made, even when Fixed Dialing is on.
Closed user groups
The Closed User Group function is a way of

The SIM card lock
The SIM card lock protects your subscription, but not
your phone itself, from unauthorized use. If you
change SIM cards, the phone still works with the new
SIM card.
Most SIM cards are locked at the time of purchase.
If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a “PIN”
(Personal Identity Number) every time you turn on
your phone.
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a
row, the SIM card is blocked. This is indicated by the
message PIN blocked.. To unblock it you need to enter
your “PUK” (Personal Unblocking Key). Your PIN
and PUK are supplied by your operator.
The phone lock protects the phone against
unauthorized use if it is stolen and the SIM card is
exchanged. It is not on when you buy the phone. You
can change the phone lock code (0000) to any four- to
eight-digit personal code. The phone lock can be set to

• 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 or
areas posted with “turn off two-way radio”.
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in use.
This affects call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than needed, thus
shortening talk and standby times.
• 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.
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, for example,
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for
the general population. All Sony Ericsson mobile
phone models are designed to operate within these
stringent levels. 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
station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level
will decrease.
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 various mobile phones, all Sony
Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to meet
radio frequency 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/.
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. Therefore, the closer you are to a base
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 Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions
intended for use with your product. Please note that
because of possible interference with 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.
