About this user’s guide

For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your phone” chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions of the phone, shortcuts and general information.

More information and downloads are available at

Phonebook

This means that you can retrieve a number from

the phonebook instead of entering the number again.

Saving a number

When you want to save a phone number, you use the Add number function in the phonebook menu. If you have already made and received calls, you can find these numbers in the Add numbers list.

Every phone number you save also gets a position

number. If you want to, you can choose to sort your phonebook entries according to their position number instead of the name.

If you intend to use your phone both at home and

abroad, it is a good idea to save all phone numbers as international phone numbers, i.e. with the + sign, followed by the country/region code, the area code and the phone number. Press and hold to enter the + sign.

Trusted certificates

To establish a secure connection when using certain WAP services, for example banking or WAP shopping, you need certificates in your phone.

WAP security settings

Your phone has support for WAP secure browsing. Security for a connection between a WAP gateway and a WAP service provider is the responsibility of the WAP service provider.

The different types of certificates are as follows:

• Server certificates are used to identify a WAP

gateway to the phone and to show that it is certified by a trusted authority. The server certificate is checked against trusted certificates that are stored in the phone. If the phone cannot verify the identity of a server, you are given the

Turning on security

When you turn on security, the connection between your phone and the WAP gateway is secure.

options to terminate or continue the connection.

• Trusted certificates are used to verify the WAP

gateway that you are trying to connect to. Your phone may already contain trusted certificates when you buy it. You can also download trusted certificates from WAP pages.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your mobile phone.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Always check the volume settings before putting the product to your ear. Loud ring signals could damage your hearing.

• 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 close your product with an object inserted between keypad and display; this may damage your product.

• Do not paint your product.

• Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission.

66 Additional information

• 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.

• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should perform service.

ANTENNA

Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of unauthorised 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.

Page 67

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.

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.

DRIVING

Please check if local laws and regulations of your country/region restrict the use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use only 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.

Additional information 67

Page 68

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, place it at the ear opposite 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 the

manufacturer of the device.

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.

68 Additional information

DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT

Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

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

We recommend that you fully charge the battery 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. Under normal conditions the stand-by time for this battery is 80-200 hours.

• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

• Use only 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 liquid.

• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch

another metal object. This could short-circuit and

damage the battery.

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery in room temperature.

• Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery.

• Keep out of children’s reach.

• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.

• 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.

Limited Warranty

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, S-221 88 Lund, Sweden, (Sony Ericsson), provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone and original accessory delivered with your mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as “Product”).

Should your Product need warranty service, please return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased, or contact your local Sony Ericsson Customer Care Centre (national rates may apply) or visit www.SonyEricsson.com.cn to get further information.

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 your personal settings/downloads might be lost when the Product is repaired or replaced.

70 Additional information

CONDITIONS

1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof of

purchase issued to the original purchaser by an, for this Product, Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial number*, 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 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.

Page 71

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.

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 Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended for use with the Product.

Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.

7. 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.

* In some countries/regions additional information is requested. If so, this is clearly shown on the valid proof of purchase.
