Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM

card before you remove it from another phone. For

example, phone book entries may be saved in the

phone memory.

ANTENNA

Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed

by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of

unauthorized 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), through periodic and thorough evaluation of

scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted

levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.

All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to

operate within these stringent levels. 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.

Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone's

compliance with the radio frequency exposure

guidelines. To avoid causing loss of performance or radio

frequency exposure levels above the permissible limits, it

is recommended that you only use Sony Ericsson or

Ericsson original accessories intended for use with the

mobile phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your

body while it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony

Ericsson or Ericsson original body-worn accessory,

please ensure that the mobile phone is positioned a

minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) from your body and that you

are not using an accessory that contains any metal.

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.

Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more

likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.

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

62 Additional information

various 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

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, for

example, in your breast pocket. When using the mobile

phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a

minimum distance of 6 inches (15 cm) 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.

DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT

Your mobile phone should not be placed

in municipal waste. Please check local

regulations for disposal of electronic

products.

Additional information 63

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 (for example, 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.

Emergency Response Center Location

Technology

Using wireless technology to help find you in case of

an emergency is a goal shared by the entire wireless

industry, local phone companies and the emergency

response centers. Your phone may support an

emergency positioning system being implemented by

some service providers. But the complexity of mobile

communication technology, combined with related

implementation technologies, means that your wireless

carrier, the local phone companies, and emergency

response centers all have a role to play in implementing

this capability.

So even if your phone supports this technology and

even if the locating features works in one area there is no

guarantee that it will work in all areas for all calls to

emergency response centers. Always review with an

emergency response center all location data you have,

including intersecting streets, as well as any landmarks,

to assist in locating you.

Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work with

the entire communications industry to improve location

features for emergency response.

Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s) including

operation, coverage, or range of the network services

provided by network carriers independent of Sony

Ericsson.

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 +41°F

(+5°C) and +113°F (+45°C).

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.

64 Additional information

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 Ericsson or 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
