Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of
children. Do not allow children to play
with mobile phones 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 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.

Limited Warranty
Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund, Sweden,
(Sony Ericsson) or its local affiliated company
provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone
and original accessory delivered with your mobile
phone (hereinafter referred to as “Product”).
Should your Product need warranty service, please
return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased,
or contact your local Sony Ericsson Call Center
(national rates may apply) or visit
www.sonyericsson.com/cn to get further information.
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 Ericsson
authorised distributors or service partners, in the
country/region* where you purchased the Product,
will, at their option, either repair or replace the
Product in accordance with the terms and conditions
stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson 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 or other information may be lost when
your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired or replaced.
At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented by
applicable law, other regulation or technical
restrictions from making a backup copy of
certain downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take
any responsibility for any lost information of any
kind and will not reimburse you for any such loss.
You should always make backup copies of all the
information stored on your Sony Ericsson Product
such as downloads, calendar and contacts before
handing in your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or
replacement.
CONDITIONS
1The warranty is valid only if the original proof of
purchase issued to the original purchaser by a
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
is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use
of functionally equivalent reconditioned units.
Replaced parts or components will become the
property of Sony Ericsson.
3This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal wear and tear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other than
the normal and customary manner, in accordance
with the Sony Ericsson 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,
acts of God or damage resulting from liquid.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times. However, it will
eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When
the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter,
it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers
approved by Sony Ericsson.
Minor variations in display brightness and color may
occur between phones. There may be tiny bright or
dark dots on the display. These are called defective

pixels and occur when individual dots have
malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two
defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
Minor variations in the appearance of the camera
image may occur between phones. This is not
uncommon in digital cameras and does not mean
that the camera is defective in any way.
4Since the cellular system on which the Product is to
operate is provided by a carrier independent from
Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson will not be responsible
for the operation, availability, coverage, services or
range of that system.
5This warranty does not cover Product failures caused
by installations, modifications, or repair or opening
of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson
authorised person.
6The warranty does not cover Product failures which
have been caused by use of accessories or other
peripheral devices which are not Sony Ericsson
branded original accessories intended for use with
the Product.
7Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will
void the warranty.
8THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER THAN
THIS PRINTED 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 ERICSSON 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/regions/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.
* In some countries/regions additional information
is requested. If so, this is clearly shown on the valid
proof of purchase.
