On www.SonyEricsson.com/support there is
a support section where help and tips are only
a few clicks away. Here you find the latest
computer software updates and tips on how
to use your product more efficiently.
Guidelines for Safe
and Efficient Use
Please read this information before using
your mobile phone.
Recommendations
• 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.
85
Page 86
Additional information
• 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.
• 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.
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.
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 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
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.
This symbol on the product or on its
packaging indicates that this product shall
not be treated as household waste. Instead
it shall be handed over to the applicable collection
point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of
correctly, you will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health,
which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate
waste handling of this product. The recycling of
materials will help to conserve natural resources.
For more detailed information about recycling of this
product, please contact your local city office, your
household waste disposal service or the shop where
you purchased the product
Power supply
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.
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.
• 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
Page 89
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
Please check local regulations for
disposal of batteries or call your local
Sony Ericsson Call Center for information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal
waste. Use a battery disposal facility if available.
Additional information
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 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.
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 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.
Page 91
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 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.
*EUROPEAN UNION (EU)
If you have purchased your Product in an EU country
you can have your Product serviced, under the
conditions set out above, within the warranty period in
any EU country where an identical Product is sold by
an authorised Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if
your Product is sold in the EU 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 EU countries. It may not be
possible to repair SIM-locked Products.
