charging or using it. Failure to do so might lead to risk
for product malfunction or even a potential hazard to your health.
Recommendations for safe use of product (mobile
phone, battery, charger and other accessories)
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
• War ning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or
humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extremely high or low
temperatures. Do not expose the battery to
temperatures above +60°C (+140°F).
• Do not expose your product to open flames or lit
• Do not close your product with an object inserted between

products with a clamshell design>
• Do not use your product near medical equipment or in hospitals
without requesting permission from your treating physician or
authorized medical staff.
• Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas
showing the sign "turn off two-way radio".
• Do not use your product in an area where a potentially explosive
atmosphere exists, for example, at a petrol station, oil depot or
chemical plant.
• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the
area above an air bag in your car.
CHILDREN
KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH. 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.
Power supply (Charger)
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.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers intended for use
with your mobile phone. Other chargers may not be designed to the
same safety and performance standards.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your
mobile phone for the first time. 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 battery should only be charged in temperatures
between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use
with your mobile phone. Using other batteries and chargers could be
dangerous.
Talk and standby times depend on several different conditions such
as signal strength, operating temperature, application usage
patterns, features selected and voice or data transmissions when the
mobile phone is being used. Under normal conditions, the stand-by
time for this battery is up to 300 hours.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery. Do not put
the battery into your mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. Doing this could short-circuit and damage the
battery. Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
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, use it at the ear opposite side of the body to the
pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) 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 your physician and the
manufacturer of the device.
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 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.
Emergency calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. You should therefore never rely solely
upon any mobile phone for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular
networks, or when certain network services and/or mobile phone
features are in use. Check with your local service provider.
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of antenna devices not
marketed by Sony Ericsson specifically for this model could damage
your mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established 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) 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.
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.
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/cn.
This symbol indicates that all electrical and electronic
equipment included shall not be treated as household
waste. Instead it shall be left at the appropriate

equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will
help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment
and human health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate waste handling of this product. The recycling of
