Use of charging devices that are not Sony Ericsson 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 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. Replace the battery only with another Sony Ericsson
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 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 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.
4
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 communication. 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 the 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 the 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
5
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.
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, Sony Ericsson 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 phone from known,
reliable sources.
6

US Safety Guidelines
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (i.e.,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. Body worn measurements are made while the phone is in
use and worn on the body with an Ericsson or Sony Ericsson
accessory. The design and composition of an accessory can affect
the body worn Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels for the phone.
14
Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation
about, the body worn SAR levels when the phone is used with non-
Ericsson or non-Sony Ericsson accessories.
Consumer Update on Wireless Phones
Supplied by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) - Center for Devices
and Radiological Health
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be
sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to
emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
15
replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the following:
•Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless phones;
•Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary for device function; and
•Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of thefederal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety
to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following
agencies belong to this working group:
•National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
•Environmental Protection Agency
•Federal Communications Commission
•Occupational Safety and Health Administration
•National Telecommunications and Information
•Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well. FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in
the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit
RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for
safety questions about wireless phones. FCC also regulates the
base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While
these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those
they can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the
subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
16
What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS”
phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to
measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF
exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission
safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and
other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power
levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety
limits.
What are the results of the research done
already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have
yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that
low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed
increased tumor development used animals that had been
genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals
so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions
under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with
certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health.
17
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful
health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none
of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures,
since the average period of phone use in these studies was around
three years.
Enter the title of your concept here.
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the
data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals
would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that
is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years’
follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the
time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors
develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation
of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.
Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about
the possible health effects of wireless
phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high
priority animal studies are conducted to address important
questions about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy
18
(RF). FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project
since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has
been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that
has driven the establishment of new research programs around the
world. The Project has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues. FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,
and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the
latest research developments around the world.
How can I find out how much
radiofrequency energy exposure I can get
by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health
and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues
that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the
FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives
19
directions for locating the FCC identification number on your
phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online
listing.
What has FDA done to measure the
radiofrequency energy coming from
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless
handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists
and engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for
Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in
the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the
heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-
simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in
tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is
measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement
is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies with
safety guidelines.
What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radiofrequency energy from my
wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not
know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few
simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person
20
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
•If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more distance between your body
and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to
take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the
measures described above would apply to children and teenagers
using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use
and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source
will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones
at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom
distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using a
wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
21
What about wireless phone interference
with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from
wireless telephones. This test method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to
ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no
interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and
a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to assess
the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Hearing Aid Compatibility and New
Technologies
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may
be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have
not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine
if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider
about its return and exchange policies and for information on
hearing aid compatibility.
Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating
This model handset was designed to comply with the requirements
set forth in Section 20.19 of the Federal Communication
23
Commission's (FCC) rules governing hearing aid compatibility
(HAC), for the reduction of RF interference to hearing aids. The
Microphone (M) rating is defined and labeled on the handset box.
Devices meeting HAC compliance must have a minimum M3 rating
or above as defined by the FCC in accordance with the latest ANSI
Standard C63.19-2007. The (M) rating refers to lower RF emission
levels of the handset. Some hearing aids are also provided an (M)
rating, and are more immune than others to interference. To
determine the (M) rating of your hearing aid, please contact your
hearing health professional. More information about digital
wireless devices and hearing aid compatibility can be found at
www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
Important Information
United States & Canada
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
The Series mobile phones have been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to
not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and
health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests
for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phone models, they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more
24
information on SAR, please refer to the safe and efficient use
chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this
phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.81 W/kg*, and
when worn on the body is 0.35 W/kg* for speech and 1.17 W/kg*
for data calls. Body worn measurements are made while the phone
is in use and worn on the body with a Sony Ericsson accessory
supplied with or designated for use with this phone. It is therefore
recommended that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original
accessories be used in conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones.
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the
US, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure*. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (i.e., by the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC
has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC
equipment authorization meet the government requirement for
safe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on file at
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID PY7A7880001. Additional information on SAR can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.phonefacts.net.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
**This paragraph is only applicable to authorities and customers
in the United States.
