60Additional information
• 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.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product.
Only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel
should perform service.
• Do not direct the infrared ray at anyone's
eye and make sure that it does not disturb
any other 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 y our
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.
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), 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 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 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.
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
supplied with or designated for use with this 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 contain 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/.
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 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.
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
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.
Emergency Response Center Location
Technology
Using wireless technology to help find you in case of
an emergency is a goal shared by the entire wireless
industry, local phone companies and the emergency
response centers. Your phone may support an emergency
positioning system being implemented by some service
providers. But the complexity of mobile communication
technology, combined with related implementation
technologies, means that your wireless carrier, the local
phone companies, and emergency response centers all
have a role to play in implementing this capability.
So even if your phone supports this technology and
even if the locating features works in one area there
is no guarantee that it will work in all areas for all calls
to emergency response centers. Always review with
an emergency response center all location data y ou
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.
Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s) including
operation, coverage, or range of the network services
provided by network carriers independent of Sony
Ericsson.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before
you use your mobile phone for the first time. The battery
can 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 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
