Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before
using your phone.

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

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 (phone, battery, charger and
other accessories)

• Always treat your product with care and keep it in

a clean and dust-free place.

• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

• 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 the battery to temperatures
above +140°F (+60°C).

• Do not expose your product to open

flames or lit tobacco products.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.

This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.

71Important information

• Do not attempt to disassemble

or modify your product. Only
Sony Ericsson authorized
personnel should perform service.

• Do not close your product with an

object inserted between keypad and
display if you have a clamshell phone; this may
damage your product.

• 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 equipment in the area above
an air bag in your car.

• Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create

sharp edges or splinters that could be harmful upon
contact.

CHILDREN

KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN´S REACH.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH YOUR PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD
ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE PHONE OR
ACCESSORY. YOUR 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 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 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 +41°F (+5°C) and +113°F
(+45°C).

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries
intended for use with your 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
phone is being used.

Turn off your 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

Phones may affect the operation of pacemakers
and other implanted equipment. Please avoid
placing the phone over the pacemaker, for example
in your breast pocket. When using the phone, use
it at the ear on the opposite side of the body to the
pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 6 inches
(15 cm) is kept between the 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 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 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 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.

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

Phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. You should
therefore never rely solely upon any phone for
essential communications (for example medical
emergencies).

Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas,
on all cellular networks, or when certain network
services and/or 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 phone,
reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above
the established limits (see below).

Efficient use

Hold your 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.

This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.

73Important information

Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your 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, for example
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 phone.
The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the phone while it is operating can be
well below this value. This is because the 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 phones, all Sony Ericsson 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

and worn on the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

Limited Warranty

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB,
SE-221 88 Lund, Sweden, (Sony Ericsson) or its local
affiliated company, provides this Limited Warranty for
your phone, original accessory delivered with your
phone, and/or your mobile computing product
(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.

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. This
Limited Warranty will last for a period of one (1) year
as from the original date of purchase of the Product.

What we will do

If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to
operate under normal use and service, due to defects
in design, ma terials or workmansh ip, Sony Ericsson
authorized distributors or service partners, in the
country* 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 and 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.

77Important information

Conditions

1 This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original

proof of purchase for this Product issued by
a Sony Ericsson authorized 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 repair for the defect concerned, or the 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 tear and wear, 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 more than a hundred times. However,
it will eventually wear out – this is not a defect and
corresponds to normal wear and tear. 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 the 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 camera image appearance may
occur between phones. This is nothing uncommon
and is not regarded as a defective camera module.

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
authorized 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.

78 Important information

This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.

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.

*Geographical scope of the warranty

If you have purchased your Product in a country
member of the European Economic Area (EEA) or
in Switzerland or the Republic of Turkey, and such
Product was intended for sale in the EEA or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, you can have your Product
serviced in any EEA country or in Switzerland or in
Turkey, under the warranty conditions prevailing in
the country in which you require servicing, provided
that an identical Product is sold in such country by
an authorized Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out
if your Product is sold in the country you are in,
please call the local Sony Ericsson Call Center.
Please observe that certain services may not be
possible elsewhere than in the country of original
purchase, for example due to the fact that your
Product may have an interior or exterior which
is different from equivalent models sold in other
countries. Please note in addition that it may
sometimes not be possible to repair SIM-locked
Products.

** In some countries/regions additional information
(such as a valid warranty card) may be requested.
