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. 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.
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
+35°C (+95°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. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk
of interference by keeping a minimum distance of 22cm (8.7 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 manufactures forbid the use of phones 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 the mobile phone 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". KDDI/
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 communication. Calls may not be
possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network services
and/or phone features are used.
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. Use of the phone
other than as tested may impact SAR and result in non-compliance
with such RF exposure limits.

Flight mode
Bluetooth and 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 the
mobile phone or other computers. Malware or harmful applications
can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While the device does employ security measures to resist such efforts,
KDDI/Sony Ericsson does not warrant or represent that the 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 the mobile phone
from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only KDDI original accessories. KDDI/Sony Ericsson 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.
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 centre. Do not attempt to remove internal batteries.
Internal batteries shall be removed only by a waste treatment facility
or trained service professional.
Disposing of the battery
Check local regulations or call a Sony Ericsson call centre for
information. Never use municipal waste.
Memory Card
If the 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 the 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.
