40 Important Information
CHILDREN
KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH.
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.
Power supply (Charger)
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.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers
intended for use with your mobile phone. Other
chargers may not be designed to the same safety
and performance standards.
Battery
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
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. The battery should only be charged
in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C
(+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries
intended for use with your mobile phone. Using
other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
The talk and standby times depend on several
different conditions such as signal strength,
operating temperature, application usage patterns,
features selected and voice or data transmissions
when using the mobile phone.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing
the battery. Do not allow the battery to be put
into the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic
if swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on
the battery touch another metal object. This could
short-circuit and damage the battery. Use the
battery for the intended purpose only.
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 your
physician and the manufacturer of the device.
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 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 give full attention to driving and pull off
the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.

41Important Information
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 in all areas,
on all cellular networks, or when certain network
services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of
antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson
specifically for this model could damage your
mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce
SAR levels above the established limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top 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.
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.
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.
For phones sold in the U.S., 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, on:
www.sonyericsson.com/health.

Limited Warranty
Sony Ericsson 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 to get further information.
OUR WARRANTY
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty,
Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free from
defects in design, material and workmanship at the
time of its original purchase by a consumer, and for
a subsequent period of one (1) year.
WHAT WE WILL DO
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails
to operate under normal use and service, due

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

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

44 Important Information
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 authorized 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/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.
