Guidelines for Safe and
Efficient Use
Please read this information before using
your mobile phone.
Recommendations
• CAUTION: Holding the phone close to
your ear when using Push To Talk (PTT) or the
speakerphone could damage your hearing.
• Always treat your product with care and keep it in
a clean and dust-free place.
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture
or humidity.
• Do not expose your product to extreme
high or low temperatures.
• Do not expose your product to open
flames or lit tobacco products.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your
product.
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or around
aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
• Do not use your product in an area
where a potentially explosive atmosphere
exists.
S710a_UG_R1A.book Page 80 Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:24 AM
81
Additional information
• Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car's air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your
product. Only Sony Ericsson authorized
personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically
designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas could
damage your mobile phone and may violate
regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the antenna portion of the phone
when in use, as this affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
The antenna portion is located at the bottom of the
keypad. When the phone is open, the antenna is at
the bottom of the phone. When the phone is closed, it
is at the top of the phone.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure
and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels
of radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.) through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of 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 the
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below this value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
S710a_UG_R1A.book Page 81 Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:24 AM
82
Additional information
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences in
SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure 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
(that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned
a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal
parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with
the original Sony Ericsson body worn accessory
intended for this phone. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this
mobile phone model is included with the material that
comes with this mobile phone. This information can
also be found, together with more information on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, at
www.SonyEricsson.com/support.
Driving
Please verify whether local laws and regulations
restrict the use of mobile phones while driving or
require drivers to use handsfree solutions. We
recommend that you use only Ericsson or Sony
Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with
your product. Please note that because of possible
interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle
manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in
their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna supports the installation.
Always pay full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile
phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept
between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the
risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately
turn off your mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist
for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult the
manufacturer of the device.

CHILDREN
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR
COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE
PHONE OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE
OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL
PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND
CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.
Disposing of the product
Your mobile phone should not be placed
in municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic
products.
Power supply
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated
power sources as marked on the product. Make sure
the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected
to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug the unit from any power source before
attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must
not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter
the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Emergency calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular
networks or when certain network services and/or
mobile phone features are in use. Check with your
local service provider.
Battery use and care
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
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.
The battery can only be charged in temperatures
between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
A new battery or one that has not been used for a
long time could have reduced capacity the first few
times it is used.
S710a_UG_R1A.book Page 83 Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:24 AM
84
Additional information
The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the mobile
phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base
station, less power is required and talk and standby
times are prolonged.
•Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
• Use only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson branded
original batteries and chargers intended for use with
your mobile phone. Other chargers may not charge
sufficiently or may produce excessive heat. Using
other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme
temperatures, never above +60°C
(+140°F). For maximum battery capacity,
use the battery at temperature.
• Turn off your mobile phone before
removing the battery.
• Keep out of children's reach.
• Use the battery for the intended
purpose only.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into
the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be
toxic if swallowed.
Disposing of the battery
Please check local regulations for
disposal of batteries or call your local
Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center for
information.
The battery should never be placed in municipal
waste. Use a battery disposal facility if available.
