guidelines. If the product has been
subject to any of the conditions listed
below or you have any doubt as to its
proper function make sure you have
the product checked by a certified service partner
before charging or using it. Failure to do so might
entail a risk of product malfunction or even a
potential hazard to your health.
Recommendations for safe use of

atmosphere exists.
• 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 BECOME 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 does
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.
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
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 on the 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.
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 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 has been installed.
Always pay 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 it is
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.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (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 it
is 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.
For phones sold in the US, before a phone model
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
For body-worn operation, this phone has been
tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
when the handset is positioned a minimum of
15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the phone or when used with the original
Sony Ericsson accessory intended for this phone
and worn on the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information about this
mobile phone model is included with the material
accompanying this mobile phone. This information
can also be found, together with more information
on radio frequency exposure and SAR, at
www.sonyericsson.com/health.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
For phones sold in the US, you can use your TTY
terminal with your Sony Ericsson mobile phone
(with the necessary accessory). For information on
Accessible Solutions for individuals with special
needs call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center
on 877-878-1996 (TTY) or 877-207-2056 (voice), or

Should your Product need warranty service, please
return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased,
or contact your local Sony Ericsson Call Center
(national rates may apply) or visit
www.sonyericsson.com to get further information.
OUR WARRANTY
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty,
Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free from
defects in design, material and workmanship at the
time of its original purchase by a consumer, and for
a subsequent period of one (1) year.
WHAT WE WILL DO
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to
operate under normal use and service, due to defects
in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson
authorised distributors or service partners, in the
country/region* where you purchased the Product,
will, at their option, either repair or replace the
Product in accordance with the terms and
conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the
right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the
conditions below.
Please note that some of your personal settings,
downloads or other information may be lost when
your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired or replaced.
At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented by
applicable law, other regulation or technical
restrictions from making a backup copy of certain
downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take any
responsibility for any lost information of any kind
and will not reimburse you for any such loss. You
should always make backup copies of all the
information stored on your Sony Ericsson Product
such as downloads, calendar and contacts before
handing in your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or
replacement.
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 ninety (90) 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
than the normal and customary manner, in
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 nonSony 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.
8 THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER THAN
THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO
EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON OR ITS
LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO
THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE
DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitation of the duration of implied
warranties, so the preceding limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.
The warranty provided does not affect the
consumer's statutory rights under applicable
legislation in force, nor the consumer’s rights
against the dealer arising from their sales /
purchase contract.
