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/support.
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
Important information
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
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.

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.
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.
• 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
Please check local regulations
for disposal of batteries or call
your local Sony Ericsson Call
Center for information.
Please recycle waste batteries.
