•Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products.
•Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product.
•Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony
authorised personnel should perform service.
•Consult with authorised medical staff and the instructions of the medical device
manufacturer before using the product near pacemakers or other medical devices or
equipment.
•Discontinue use of electronic devices, or disable the radio transmitting functionality of the
device, where required or requested to do so.
•Do not use where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
•Do not place the product, or install wireless equipment, in the area above an air bag in a
car.
•Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or splinters that could be
harmful upon contact.
•Do not use a Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is uncomfortable or will be subject to
pressure.
•Avoid contact against your skin for longer periods. The heat generated when your device is
transmitting can irritate your skin. It is recommended to use a headset for long phone calls.
Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with mobile
devices or accessories. They could hurt themselves or others. Products may contain
small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the charger to power sources as marked on the product. Do not use outdoors or in
damp areas. Do not alter or subject the cord to damage or stress. Unplug the unit before
cleaning it. Never alter the plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by an electrician. When a power supply is connected there is a small drain of power. To
avoid this small energy waste, disconnect the power supply when the product is fully
charged. Use of charging devices that are not Sony branded may pose increased safety
risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully charge the battery before
initial use. Use for the intended purpose only. Charge the battery in temperatures between
+5°C(+41°F) and +45°C(+113°F). Do not put the battery into your mouth. Do not let the
battery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off the product before removing the 3

battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features
selected and voice or data transmissions. Only Sony service partners should remove or
replace built-in batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony branded may pose increased
safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony battery that has been qualified with
the product per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Personal medical devices
Mobile devices / devices with radio transmitters may affect implanted medical equipment.
Reduce risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches) between the
Sony product and the medical device. Use the Sony device at your right ear, when
applicable. Do not carry the device in your breast pocket. Turn off the device if you suspect
interference. For use in proximity to personal medical devices, please consult a physician
and the device manufacturer.
Driving
In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of mobile devices in their vehicles
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the installation. Check with the
vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that a mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree
will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full attention should be given to driving
at all times and local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving
must be observed.
GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining functionality is
provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony 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
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely upon Sony Mobile devices
for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all networks, or when
certain network services and/or mobile device features are used. Please note that some
Sony devices are not capable of supporting voice calls, including emergency calls.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony could damage the mobile device, reduce
performance, and produce Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels above the established
limits. Do not cover the antenna with your hand as this affects call quality, power levels and
can shorten talk and standby times.
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When the mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree functionality is turned on, it emits low levels
of radio frequency energy. International safety guidelines have been developed through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted
4

levels of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio frequency energy absorbed by the
body when using a mobile device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but because the device is designed to use the minimum
power necessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well below this
value. There is no proof of difference in safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must be certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). When required, tests are performed when the device is
placed at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-worn operation, the device has been
tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the device or when properly used with an appropriate Sony accessory and worn
on the body. When operating with “Hotspot” functionality engaged, a separation distance of
10 mm was used.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure, go to:
http://
blogs.sonymobile.com/about-us/sustainability/health-and-safety/sar/
.
Flight mode
Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) functionality, if available in the device,
can be enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in other areas
where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such environments, please seek proper
authorisation before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm device. Malware or harmful
applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs. While the
device does employ security measures to resist such efforts, Sony does not warrant or
represent that the device will be impervious to the introduction of malware. You can however
reduce the risk of malware attacks by using care when downloading content or accepting
applications, refraining from opening or responding to messages from unknown sources,
using trustworthy services to access the Internet, and only downloading content to the
mobile device from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony branded original accessories and certified service partners. Sony does not
test third-party accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio performance,
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-party accessories and parts may pose a risk
to your health or safety or decrease performance.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

to get further information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony 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 two (2) years as from the original
date of purchase of the Product for your mobile device, and for a period of one (1) year
following the original purchase date of the Product for all original accessories (such as the
battery, charger or handsfree kit) which may be delivered with your device.
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 authorised distributors or service
partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either
repair, replace or refund the purchase price of the Product in accordance with the terms and
conditions stipulated herein.
Sony 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 Product is repaired or replaced. At present, Sony may be prevented by

and will not reimburse you for any such loss. You should always make backup copies of all
the information stored on your Sony Product such as downloads, calendar and contacts
before handing in your Sony Product for repair or replacement.
Conditions
1. This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for this Product issued
by a Sony authorised dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, is
presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced. Sony 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 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.
3. This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product that is due to:
•Normal wear and tear.
•Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded
(including liquid damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such
use).
•Misuse or failure to use in accordance with the Sony 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, or acts of God.
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 the
battery. Sony recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour may occur between devices. There
may be tiny bright or dark dots on the display. It occurs 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 devices. 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, Sony 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 authorised person.
9
This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of
accessories or other peripheral devices which are not Sony branded original accessories
intended for use with the Product.
Sony disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, for failures caused to
the Product or peripheral devices as a result of viruses, trojan horses, spyware, or other
malicious software. Sony strongly recommends that you install appropriate virus protection
software on your Product and any peripheral devices connected to it, as available, and
update it regularly, to better protect your device. It is understood, however, that such
software will never fully protect your Product or its peripheral devices and Sony disclaims
all warranties, whether express or implied, in case of failure by such antivirus software to
fulfil its intended purpose.
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 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 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.
Country specific terms
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 authorised Sony distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in the country you are in,
please call the local Sony Contact Center. Please observe that certain services may not be
