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.

• Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.

N

o

t

for

C

• 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 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 your
mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss

m

of performance and SAR levels above the recommended

m

limits (see below).

o

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 when the front and/or
back cover is removed from the unit.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 1

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.

2 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

N

o

t

for

C

o

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.

Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone’s
compliance with the radio frequency exposure guidelines.
For example, the Federal Communication Commission in

c

r

the U.S. requires that some manufacturers’ accessories

e

shall be tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so with

m

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.

l

a

U

s

e

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
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches
(15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential 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;

N

o

t

for

o

C

• 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.

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

m

manufacturer of your device to determine if they are

m

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
and park before making or answering a call if driving
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

c

r

areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit

e

into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

m

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

Charge the battery for 12 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.
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.

N

o

t

for

o

C

• 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.

Optimum Use

TTY communications can be conducted from moving
vehicles, however, it may be dangerous to operate a
vehicle and communicate on your mobile phone at the
same time. You may experience a higher character error
rate of the TTY conversation while in motion. For the
highest quality communications, it is best to remain
stationary.

The TTY feature works in most signal strength areas. You
may experience a higher character error rate in low signal
coverage areas. You may be able to move the cellular

Preparing Your Phone for WAP

Before you can start using the WAP browser, you need to
make sure that your access settings are set correctly. You
need to set up your User ID and WAP Gateway address.

Depending on your network service provider, you can
receive the access settings you need in different ways.

• When you buy your phone together with a WAP
subscription. Your service provider has already entered
all the WAP settings you need.

• Manually. Your service provider will give you the
settings you need. You can then enter them yourself.

Entering the WAP Settings Manually

The WAP settings you enter will be associated with one
of the WAP profiles. If you want to use more than one
WAP profile, you need to specify the settings for each
profile. See “Using WAP Profiles” on page 72.

Using WAP Profiles

Your phone comes with three WAP profiles to help
simplify your browsing. You can, for example, associate

72 WAP Browsing

one profile to your service provider’s WAP page and one
to your company’s intranet. Instead of having to enter the
access settings, when you want to switch between your
service provider’s WAP page and your company’s
intranet, you can simply switch profiles. It is important to
remember two things about the WAP profiles:

• You can set a different homepage for each WAP
profile. When you switch profiles, the homepage
changes to the homepage set for that profile.

• A saved bookmark may not work with all WAP
profiles. When you save a bookmark, it is associated

c

r

with the WAP profile that you are currently using. If

e

you cannot access a bookmark, you may solve the

problem by switching profiles and then accessing the
bookmark again.

Making Data and Fax Calls

You can use your phone in Wireless Modem Operation
when it is powered on with a serial interface cable
attached from your phone to your computer.

Your mobile phone contains a modem similar to the
modems you use to connect your computer to your home
or office telephone service. Rather than connecting to
standard telephone lines, however, the modem in your
mobile phone allows you to connect your computer to the
mobile telephone system. In places where mobile
network service providers provide the necessary support,
you can use your mobile phone to send or receive faxes,
upload or download data files, or access the Internet.

C

o

m

This chapter will assist you with setting up your computer
and phone to handle data, fax, and Internet calls on the
mobile network.

Differences Between Data, Fax, and
Internet Calls

Your mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet
calls, but each type of call requires corresponding
software that must be running on your computer.

78 Making Data and Fax Calls

N

o

t

for

Data Calls

Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between
two computers. While the data connection is in place,
files can be transferred between the connected computers,
according to the capabilities of the software in use. When
a data call is made, the connection will remain in place
until it is closed by one of the computers involved. To
make or receive data calls with your mobile phone, you
must have a properly configured communications
program running on your computer.

c

r

e

Fax Calls

m

Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax
message has been sent, your fax software or the
originating fax machine will terminate the call. To make
or receive fax calls with your mobile phone, you must
have a properly configured fax program running on your
computer.

Internet Calls

Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers
(ISP) when you want to use email or access websites on
the World Wide Web. To make Internet calls, you must

l

a

i

U

s

e

have an account with an ISP and a properly configured
Internet access program (browser) running on your
computer. When your software is installed and set up to
dial your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing
procedure. Once a connection to your ISP is established,
it will remain in place until you disconnect or until it is
automatically disconnected due to the degradation of
signal quality or due to inactivity.

Throughout this chapter, references to data/fax/

Note!

internet will be referred to as data.

Before You Start

Before setting up your phone for data operation, do the
following:

• You must have a serial interface cable (RS 232 data
cable DRS-11) to connect your mobile phone to your
computer. For more information about ordering this
and other accessories, see “Ordering Accessories” on
page 84.

• Confirm that your mobile service provider supports
digital data services in your planned usage area.

N

o

t

for

o

C

• Verify that you have the necessary subscription.

The availability of digital mobile voice service

Note!

does not necessarily imply that your mobile
service provider supports digital data operation.

Setting Up Your Computer

To operate properly with the modem in your mobile
phone, make sure that your computer has the following
hardware and software:

• A functional serial port

• An operating system that supports data access
software, such as Windows 95 or Windows 98

m

• Appropriate fax (class 2.0), Internet access, or file

transfer software

Note!

Initial Setup

Successful first-time setup of your phone and computer
for data operation involves the following steps:

1 Connect your computer to your

phone with your DRS-11 serial
interface cable. The cable has a plug
on one end that matches the
receptacle on the bottom of your
mobile phone. The other end of the
cable has a 9-pin female connector that matches the
standard 9-pin serial interface port connector. Connect
one end of the cable to your mobile phone and the
other end to the serial port on your computer.

If you are trying to connect to a 25-pin serial

interface port on your computer, you will need
an adapter. You can purchase a 25-pin serial
interface port adapter at most computer supply
stores.

2 Install your modem control software (driver).

The modem driver that you need for your mobile
phone is available at www.SonyEricsson.com
to this web site for help with installing drivers for
different operating systems.

Making and Receiving Data and Fax Calls

When your phone and computer are properly set up, you
can send a fax, or initiate data calls, as with any other

1 Plug one end of the serial

interface cable into your
phone.

2 Plug the other end of the

serial interface cable into the
serial port on your computer.

3 Plug the charger cable into

the bottom of the connector.

4 Plug the charger cable into the wall outlet.

Achieving Best Performance

Charging your Battery

Both your mobile phone and your laptop computer
batteries should be well-charged before starting data
operation. This will help you avoid interruptions due to
loss of power.

You can charge your phone’s battery with an Sony
Ericsson or Ericsson charger during data/fax operation as
previously described.

Signal Strength

It is important to maintain a good signal path between the
phone and the mobile telephone system when making
data calls. Signals will generally be stronger when the

N

o

t

for

o

C

phone is in an upright position. If you are indoors, your
signal will generally be stronger when the phone is near a
window.

In a Vehicle

It is possible to receive data calls when inside your
vehicle. Operation from a moving vehicle may not be
satisfactory because data may be lost when your call is
transferred from one mobile base station to another. Be
sure to give full attention to driving and pull off the road
and park before making or receiving calls, if driving
conditions so require.

Transmission Disturbances

m

Brief interruptions of mobile telephone signals that would

m

not be bothersome during a voice call may cause
problems during data operation, depending upon the error
correction capabilities of the software being used. Such
interruptions are uncommon during stationary operation,
but can be caused by vehicles or people passing nearby,
especially in areas of low signal strength. You can use the
signal strength indicator on your phone to verify that you
have a good signal path.
