Recommendations for care and safe use of our products• Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place.• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or excess humidity.• Do not expose to extreme temperatures. Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). . • Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products. • Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.• Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify your product. Only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should perform service. • Consult with authorized medical staff and the instructions of the medical device manufacturer before using your 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.

73Important information• Do not use where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in the area above an air bag in your car.• Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or splinters that could be harmful upon contact.• Do not use your Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is uncomfortable or will be subject to pressure.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. 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.Personal medical devicesMobile 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.DrivingSome 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.GPS/Location based functionsSome 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

74 Important informationreduced 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 callsCalls 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.AntennaUse 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/health.MalwareMalware (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.AccessoriesUse 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.

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 1This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for this Product issued by a Sony Ericsson authorized dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, 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 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.

Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.Minor variations in display brightness and colour may occur between the 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 camera image appearance may occur between phones. This is nothing uncommon and is not regarded as a defective camera module.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.
