These instructions are intended for your safety. Please
follow these 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 product (mobile

• Do not use your product near medical equipment 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.
• Do not place your product or install wireless

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.
Battery
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.
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 U.S, 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 on/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, on:
www.sonyericsson.com/health.
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 visit the Sony Ericsson Special
Needs Center at www.sonyericsson-snc.com.

Limited Warranty
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, SE-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 Call Center (national rates may apply) or visit
www.sonyericsson.com to get further information.
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.
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 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

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.
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/regions/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.
