alter the plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by an electrician. When 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 Ericsson

branded may impose increased safety risks.

Battery

New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced

capacity. Fully charge the battery before initial use.

Use for 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

battery. Performance depends on temperatures,

signal strength, usage patterns, features selected

and voice or data transmissions. The stand-by time

for this battery is up to 390 hours. Only Sony Ericsson

service partners should remove or replace built-in

batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony Ericsson

branded may pose increased safety risks.

Note: The environmental protection period

(EPUP) of battery is 5 years.

Personal medical devices

Mobile phones may affect implanted medical

equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping

a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) between

the phone and the device. Use the phone at your right

ear. Do not carry the phone in your breast pocket.

Turn off the phone if you suspect interference. For

all medical devices, consult a physician and the

manufacturer.

Driving

Some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of phones

in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an

external antenna supports the installation. Check

with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to

be sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth

handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in

your 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.

74 Important information

GPS/Location based functions

Some products provide GPS/Location based

functions. Location determining functionality is

provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony Ericsson

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 mobile phones for essential

communications. Calls may not be possible in all

areas, on all networks, or when certain network

services and/or phone features are used.

Antenna

Use of antenna devices not marketed by

Sony Ericsson could damage your phone, reduce

performance, and produce 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 your phone or Bluetooth handsfree 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 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 phone. The SAR value is determined

at the highest certified power level in laboratory

conditions, but because the phone 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 phone is placed at the ear and

when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,

the phone has been tested when positioned a

minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal

parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly

used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory

and worn on the body.

For more information about SAR and radio frequency

exposure go to: www.sonyericsson.com/cn.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software

that can harm your mobile phone or other computers.

Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,

worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.

While your device does employ security measures

to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant

or represent that your device will be impervious to

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 your mobile phone from known, reliable sources.

75Important information

Accessories

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories

and certified service partners. Sony Ericsson does

not test third-party accessories. Accessories may

influence RF Exposure, radio performance, sound

loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-

party accessories and parts may pose a risk to your

health or safety or decrease performance.

Disposal of old electrical

and electronic equipment

Electronic equipment and batteries

should not be included as household

waste but should be left at an

appropriate collection point for recycling. This helps

prevent potential negative consequences for the

environment and human health. Check local

regulations by contacting your local city office, your

household waste disposal service, the shop where

you purchased the product or calling a Sony Ericsson

Call Center.

Disposing of the battery

Check local regulations or call

a Sony Ericsson Call Center for

information. Never use municipal

waste.

Declaration of substances

When this product is operated under

the conditions in the product manual,

the environmental protection period

(EPUP) is 20 years.

Memory Card

If your product comes complete with a removable

memory card, it is generally compatible with the

handset purchased but may not be compatible with

other devices or the capabilities of their memory

cards. Check other devices for compatibility before

purchase or use. If your product is equipped with a

memory card reader, check memory card

compatibility before purchase or use.

Memory cards are generally formatted prior to

shipping. To reformat the memory card, use a

compatible device. Do not use the standard operating

system format when formatting the memory card on

a PC. For details, refer to the operating instructions

of the device or contact customer support.

Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the date

of purchase and serial number**, for this Product, 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.

2If 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 thirty (30) days from the date of repair, whichever
