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.

for

• 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

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.

• 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

for

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

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 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;

for

• 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

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.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use 3

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.

4 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

for

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

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.

for

• 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.

Disposing of the Battery

The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries or call your local Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center for information.

• Shorter tags may cause a lower recognition rate. For example, the name “Tom” can easily be confused with “Tim”.

• Record your voice using the same tone and inflection as you would when normally speaking. Try not to overpronounce or speak too slowly when recording.

• When using Portable handsfree devices, you can easily activate voice dialing by pressing the button near the microphone until you hear a prompt.

Troubleshooting

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.

• You spoke too late or too soon – speak immediately after the tone.

• You may want to re-record the voice command.

Troubleshooting

My phone does not turn On.

My phone does not ring when a call is received.

My signal strength varies.

Speech sounds garbled or distorted.

Recharge or replace the battery.

Check for Ringer Off () or Silent Mode () icons on the standby screen.

This is a common occurrence. Transmitters are set in geographic areas, and coverage is not 100% all of the time. Signal strength varies as you travel between cells.

Reduce the volume of your speaker by pressing the lower side volume key until the speech sounds clearer.
