Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

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 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.

N

o

t

for

C

o

m

• 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 authorized personnel should perform
service.

• If your mobile phone is equipped with infrared,

never direct the infrared ray at anyone’s eye and

c

r

make sure that it does not disturb any other

e

m

infrared units.

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).

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

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.

• Do not use the mobile phone with the front and/or

back cover removed from the unit.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR

C

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

2

N

o

t

for

o

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

m

use the minimum power required to reach the network.

m

Therefore, the closer you are to a base 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
mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

e

r

c

l

a

i

U

s

e

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone’s
compliance with the radio frequency exposure guidelines.
For example, the Federal Communication Commission
in the U.S. requires that some manufacturers’ accessories
shall be tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so with
respect to its products. To avoid causing loss of
performance or radio frequency exposure levels above the
permissible limits it is recommended that you only use
Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original accessories intended
for use with the mobile phone. If you wear the mobile
phone on your body while it is transmitting, and you
do not use a Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original body
worn accessory, please ensure that the mobile phone is
positioned a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body and
that you are not using an accessory that contains any
metal.

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.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your mobile
phone, therefore:

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

c

recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)

r

inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld

e

wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential

m

interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider or call your local
Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.

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
Ericsson or 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

m

and park before making or answering a call if driving

m

conditions so require.

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.

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 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

r

c

a

i

m

Charge the battery for 4 hours before you use your
mobile phone for the first time. The battery can only
be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and
+45°C (+113°F).

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.

e

s

U

l

5

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

If the mobile phone is used near a base station, less power
is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.

Use only Ericsson or 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 extreme temperatures,

never above +60°C (+140°F). For maximum
battery capacity, use the battery in room
temperature.

•Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

• Do not expose the battery to liquid.

• Keep out of children’s reach.

• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the

battery.

• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch

another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.

• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.

Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.

Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!

This mobile phone, like any mobile phone, operates
using radio signals, cellular and landline networks as well
as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee

e

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

connection under all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the mobile
phone must be switched on and in a service area with
adequate cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may
not be possible on all cellular phone networks or when
certain network services and/or mobile phone features
are in use.Check with your local service provider.

Using wireless technology to help provide location
information in case of an emergency is a goal shared by
the entire wireless industry, local phone companies and
the emergency response centers. Your phone includes
technology which represents the first step towards that
goal. However, the technique in its current state,
combined with related implementation technologies
means that the method may not always work , even if
you are able to speak with an emergency response center.
Always review with an emergency response center all
location data you have, including intersecting streets,
as well as any landmarks, to assist in locating you.

Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work with
the entire communications industry to improve location
features for emergency response.

Using Voice Control

Using Voice Control

Before you can start dialing by voice, you need to record
your voice commands (if you want your commands in a
language other than English).

Recording Voice Commands

Your phone comes with a pre-recorded list of voice
commands that match a wide variety of pronunciations.
The default commands are available only in American
English. You can record over (retrain) the current
commands to change the command or the language.
You always have the option to revert to the original
(default) English commands.

Note!

You must record voice tags for your phonebook
contacts to use Voice Activated Dialing.

The Command List is grouped by feature. You can
re-record all of the commands or just those for the
features you intend to use. Please note that some features
are dependent on others. Your phone will notify you
if you are required to record additional commands.

The default Magic Word is “Wake Up”. You can keep

Due to the nature of each individual’s speech
patterns and the process your phone uses to
generate or match a Magic Word, it is possible
for false matches to occur via other sources of

Problems when Recording

If your phone cannot detect speech, one of the following
might have happened:

• you spoke too softly – try speaking more loudly.

• you held the phone too far away – hold it as you

do during a call.

• the voice command was too short – it should be

around one second long.

c

r

• you spoke too late or too soon – speak immediately

e

m

after the tone.

Tips

• Try to record in an area where there is little or no

background noise.

• Try to record your voice with the same equipment

that you normally use with your phone. For

example, if you normally have your phone

connected to a car handsfree device when using

voice commands, record your voice commands

when your phone is in a car handsfree device.

i

U

s

e

55

Using Voice Control

• If you plan to use voice functions handheld mode,

hold the phone up to the ear in the position that
would normally be used on a call.

• Begin speaking after the tone ends.

• Keep in mind that longer voice tags provide a

higher recognition rate.

• Shorter tags may cause a lower recognition rate.

For example, the name “Rob” can easily be
confused with “Bob”.

• Record your voice using the same tone and

inflection as you would when normally speaking.
Try not to over-pronounce or speak too slowly
when recording.

• At anytime during voice recognition, you can

say “cancel” to stop recognition.

• Say “help” at anytime (except during Voice

Answering) to see and hear online help.
