The SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer
chip that keeps track of your phone number, the
services included in your subscription, and your
phonebook information, among other things.
Tip: Verify that your information is saved to the
SIM card before you remove it from another phone.
For example, phonebook entries may be saved in
the phone memory.

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.
• 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.
60Additional information
• 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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the 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 body worn accessory intended
for this phone. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF 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 Ericsson or 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.
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.
62Additional information
DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
Your mobile phone should not be placed
in municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
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.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
The battery should 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.
• War ning! 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 Customer Care Center for
information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal
waste. Use a battery disposal facility if available.
