Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of
children. Do not allow children to play
with mobile phones or accessories.
They cou ld hurt the mselves or others.
Products may contain small parts that could
become detached and create a choking hazard.
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the charger to power sources as marked
on the product. Do not use outdoors or in damp
areas. Do not alter or subject the cord to damage
or stress. Unplug the unit before cleaning it. Never
alter the plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by an electrician. When
power supply is connected there is a small drain
This
is
the Internet version of the use
of power. To avoid this small energy waste,
disconnect the power supply when the product
is fully charged. Use of charging devices that are
not Sony Ericsson branded may impose increased
safety risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced
capacity. Fully charge the battery before initial use.
Use for intended purpose only. Charge the battery
in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C
(+113°F). Do not put the battery into your mouth.
Do not let the battery contacts touch another metal
object. Turn off the product before removing the
battery. Performance depends on temperatures,
signal strength, usage patterns, features selected
and voice or data transmissions. The stand-by time
for this battery is up to 400 hours. Only Sony Ericsson
service partners should remove or replace built-in
batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony Ericsson
branded may pose increased safety risks.
Note: The environmental protection period
(EPUP) of battery is 5 years.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect implanted medical
equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping
a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) between
the phone and the device. Use the phone at your
right ear. Do not carry the phone in your breast
pocket. Turn off the phone if you suspect
interference. For all medical devices, consult
a physician and the manufacturer.
Driving
Some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of
phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit
with an external antenna supports the installation.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your mobile phone
or Bluetooth handsfree will not affect the electronic
systems in your vehicle. Full attention should be
given to driving at all times and local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices
while driving must be observed.
GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based
functions. Location determining functionality
is provided “As is” and “With all faults”.
Sony Ericsson does not make any representation
or warranty as to the accuracy of such location
information.
Use of location-based information by the device
may not be uninterrupted or error free and may
additionally be dependent on network service
availability. Please note that functionality may be
reduced or prevented in certain environments such
as building interiors or areas adjacent to buildings.
Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner
which causes distraction from driving.
Emergency calls
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions.
Never rely solely upon mobile phones for essential
communications. Calls may not be possible in all
areas, on all networks, or when certain network
services and/or phone features are used.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by
Sony Ericsson could damage your phone, reduce
performance, and produce SAR levels above the
established limits. Do not cover the antenna with
your hand as this affects call quality, power levels
and can shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy.
International safety guidelines have been developed
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels
of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
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 because the phone is designed to
use the minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well
below this value. There is no proof of difference
in safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US
must be certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). When required, tests are
performed when the phone is placed at the ear and
when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,
the phone has been tested when positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when
properly used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson
accessory and worn on the body.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency
exposure go to: www.sonyericsson.com/cn.
Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm your mobile phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,
worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While your device does employ security measures
to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not
warrant or represent that your device will be
impervious to introduction of malware. You can
however reduce the risk of malware attacks by
using care when downloading content or accepting
applications, refraining from opening or responding
to messages from unknown sources, using
trustworthy services to access the Internet, and
only downloading content to your mobile phone
from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories
and certified service partners. Sony Ericsson does
not test third-party accessories. Accessories may
influence RF Exposure, radio performance, sound
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Thirdparty accessories and parts may pose a risk to your
health or safety or decrease performance.
Disposal of old electrical
and electronic equipment
Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as household
waste but should be left at an
appropriate collection point for recycling. This
helps prevent potential negative consequences
for the environment and human health. Check local
regulations by contacting your local city office, your
household waste disposal service, the shop where
you purchased the product or calling a Sony Ericsson
Call Center.
Disposing of the battery
Check local regulations or call
a Sony Ericsson Call Center for
information. Never use municipal
waste.

CONDITIONS
1 The warranty is valid only if the original proof
of purchase issued to the original purchaser by
a Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the
date of purchase and serial number**, for this
Product, is presented with the Product to be
repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the
right to refuse warranty service if this information
has been removed or changed after the original
purchase of the Product from the dealer.
2 If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product,
the repaired or replaced Product shall be warranted
for the remaining time of the original warranty
period or for thirty (30) days from the date of repair,
whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may
involve the use of functionally equivalent
reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components
will become the property of Sony Ericsson.
3 This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal wear and tear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other

accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions
for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does
this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to
accident, software or hardware modification or
adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from
liquid.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times. However, it will
eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When
the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter,
it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only batteries and
chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
Minor variations in display brightness and color
may occur between phones. There may be tiny
bright or dark dots on the display. These are called
defective pixels and occur when individual dots
have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two
defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
Minor variations in the appearance of the camera
image may occur between phones. This is not
uncommon in digital cameras and does not mean
that the camera is defective in any way.
4 Since the cellular system on which the Product
is to operate is provided by a carrier independent
from Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson will not be
responsible for the operation, availability, coverage,
services or range of that system.
5 This warranty does not cover Product failures caused
by installations, modifications, or repair or opening
of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson
authorised person.
6 The warranty does not cover Product failures which
have been caused by use of accessories or other
peripheral devices which are not Sony Ericsson
branded original accessories intended for use with
the Product.
7 Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will
void the warranty.
