Power supply (Charger)
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated
powe r sou rces as marked on t he 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

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 standa rds.
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 be en used for a
long time could have reduced capacity the first few
times it is used. The battery should only be charged
in tempe ratures betwee n +5°C ( +41 °F) and +45°C
(+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries

Turn off your mobile phone before removing the
battery. Do not allow the battery to be put into
the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on the
battery touch an other metal object. This could
short-circuit and damage the battery. Use the
battery for the intended purpose only.
Personal medical devices
Mobi le phon es may affect the ope rati on of card iac
pacema kers and o ther impla nted equipment. Pl ease

e.g . in you r brea st pock et. Whe n usin g the mobile
phone, p lace it at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
If a minimum d istance of 15 cm (6 inche s) is ke pt
between th e mobile ph one and the pacemake r,
the risk of in terference is limited. If you have any
rea son to susp ect that interf erenc e is taking pla ce,
immediately turn off your mobile phone. Contact
your cardiologist for more in formation.
For other medical devices, please consult your
phy sici an and the m anuf acturer of t he devi ce.
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.
Pl ease n ote th at becau se of po ssible i nter feren ce
to elec tronic equipment, some vehicle manu factu rers
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
can not gua ran tee con nect ion un der all co ndi tion s.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications (e. g.
med ica l emerg enci es).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all a reas,
on all cellular networks, or when certain network
se rvices and/o r mobil e phone fea ture s ar e in use.

Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and r eceiver . When it is turned on, i t emits low level s
of radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fi elds).
Governments around th e world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed b y scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation P rotection) and IE EE (The Institute of
Elec trical and Electronics Engi neers Inc.), throu gh
periodic an d thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels
of radio wave exposure for t he general population.
The l evels incl ude a sa fety m arg in de signed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and h ealth, and to acc ou nt for any va riation s in
meas urement s.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
meas ureme nt for the a mount of radio fre quency
energ y abso rbe d by t he body w hen us ing a mobile
phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
ce rtif ied p owe r leve l in lab orat ory c on diti ons , bu t
the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating can be well below this value. This is
becau se the mobil e pho ne is design ed t o use th e
minimum power requ ired to r each th e ne twork.
Varia tions in SAR below the radio frequency
exp osure guidelines do not m ean that there are
vari ations in s afe ty. While there m ay be di fferen ces
in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony
Ericsson mobile p hone models are designed to
meet radio frequency e xposure guid elines.
For phon es sold in the U.S., be fore a phone model
is av ailab le fo r sa le t o the public , it mus t be tes te d
and certified to the FCC that it does not exce ed the
limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed i n positions and locations (that i s, at t he
ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for ea ch model. For bo dy wor n operat ion, th is phone
has been tested an d meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when the handset is positioned a
