54 Important information
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please follow these guidelines. Failure
to do so might entail a potential
health risk or product malfunction. If
in doubt as to its proper function,
have the product checked by a
certified service partner before
charging or using it.
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 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, 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.
• 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.
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. Use for intended
purpose only. Turn off the phone before removing
the battery. Only Sony Ericsson service partners
should remove or replace the battery of a Bluetooth
handsfree. Performance depends on temperatures,
signal strength, usage patterns, features selected
55Important information
and voice or data transmissions. Avoid danger by
using appropriate Sony Ericsson batteries and
chargers.
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 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 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
communications. 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 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
56 Important information
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.
Malware
Malware (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.
Accessories
Use 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.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
In the US, compatible Sony Ericsson phones may
offer compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of
necessary accessory). For more information call the
Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center on 877 878
1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or go to
www.sonyericsson-snc.com.
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 Center.
Disposing of the battery
Check local regulations or call a Sony
Ericsson Call Center for information.
Never use municipal waste.
Memory card
If your product comes complete with a removable
memory card, it is generally compatible with the
mobile phone 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 your
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.

Limited warranty
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, Nya
Vattentornet, SE-221 88 Lund, Sweden (Sony
Ericsson), or its local affiliated company, provides
this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone,
original accessory delivered with your mobile
phone, and/or your mobile computing product
(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. This
Limited Warranty will last for a period of one (1)
year as from the original date of purchase of the
Product.
What we will do
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to
operate under normal use and service, due to
defects in design, materials or workmanship, Sony
Ericsson authorized distributors or service partners,
in the country* where you purchased the Product,
will, at their option, either repair or replace the
Product in accordance with the terms and
conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the
right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the
conditions below.
Please note that some of your personal settings,
downloads and 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
handing in your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or
replacement.
Conditions
1 This 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.
2 If 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.
Repair or replacement may involve the use of
functionally equivalent reconditioned units.
Replaced parts or components will become the
property of Sony Ericsson.
3 This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal tear and wear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other
than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for
use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does this
warranty cover any failure of the Product due to
59Important information
accident, software or hardware modification or
adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from
liquid.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and
discharged more than a hundred times. However, it
will eventually wear out – this is not a defect and
corresponds to normal wear and tear. 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.
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.
4 Since 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.
5 This 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.
6 The 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.
7 Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will
void the warranty.
8 THERE 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.
*Geographical scope of the warranty
If you have purchased your Product in a country
member of the European Economic Area (EEA) or in
Switzerland or the Republic of Turkey, and such
Product was intended for sale in the EEA or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, you can have your
Product serviced in any EEA country or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, under the warranty
conditions prevailing in the country in which you
require servicing, provided that an identical
Product is sold in such country by an authorised
Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if your
Product is sold in the country you are in, please call
the local Sony Ericsson Call Center. Please observe
that certain services may not be possible elsewhere
than in the country of original purchase, for
example due to the fact that your Product may
have an interior or exterior which is different from
equivalent models sold in other countries. Please
note in addition that it may sometimes not be
possible to repair SIM-locked Products.
