SAR InformationFCC StatementDeclaration of ConformitySony ST27a UMTS HSPA Band 1 2 5 GSM GPRS/EDGE850/900/1800/1900

Important InformationUnited States & CanadaTHIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED INCOMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTSFOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.The Series mobile phones have been designed to complywith applicable safety requirements for exposure to radiowaves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by governmental authorities. Theselimits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standards that weredeveloped by international scientific organizations throughperiodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. Thestandards include a safety margin designed to assure thesafety of all individuals, regardless of age and health.The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods withthe phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in allused frequency bands. While there may be differencesbetween the SAR levels of various phone models, they are alldesigned to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radiowaves. For more information on SAR, please refer to the safeand efficient use chapter in the User Guide.The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for thisphone model when tested for use by the ear is 1.10 W/kg*,and when worn on the body is 0.96 W/kg* for speech and1.14 W/kg* for data calls. For body-worn operation, the phonehas been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm fromthe body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone orwhen properly used with an appropriate Sony accessory andworn on the body. For devices which include “WiFi hotspot”functionality, SAR measurements for the device operating inWiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of2

10mm. Use of third-party accessories may result in differentSAR levels than those reported.**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public inthe US, it must be tested and certified by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceedthe limit established by the government-adopted requirementfor safe exposure*. The tests are performed in positions andlocations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required bythe FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an EquipmentAuthorization for this phone model with all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposureguidelines. While there may be differences between the SARlevels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCCequipment authorization meet the government requirement forsafe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on fileat the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant sectionof http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCCID PY7PM-0100. Additional information on SAR can be foundon the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association(CTIA) website at http://www.phonefacts.net.* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobilephones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates amargin of safety to give additional protection for the public andto account for any variations in measurements.**This paragraph is only applicable to authorities andcustomers in the United States.3

Keep out of the reach of children. Do notallow children to play with mobile phones or accessories.They could hurt themselves or others. Products maycontain small parts that could become detached andcreate a choking hazard.Power supply (Charger)Connect the charger to power sources as marked on theproduct. Do not use outdoors or in damp areas. Do notalter or subject the cord to damage or stress. Unplug theunit before cleaning it. Never alter the plug. If it does not fitinto the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by anelectrician. When a power supply is connected there is asmall drain of power. To avoid this small energy waste,disconnect the power supply when the product is fullycharged. Use of charging devices that are not Sonybranded may pose increased safety risks.BatteryNew or idle batteries can have short-term reducedcapacity. Fully charge the battery before initial use. Use forthe intended purpose only. Charge the battery intemperatures between +5°C(+41°F) and +45°C(+113°F).Do not put the battery into your mouth. Do not let thebattery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off theproduct before removing the battery. Performancedepends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns,features selected and voice or data transmissions. OnlySony service partners should remove or replace built-inbatteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony branded maypose increased safety risks. Replace the battery only withanother Sony battery that has been qualified with theproduct per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified4 battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage orother hazard.Personal medical devicesMobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment.Reduce risk of interference by keeping a minimum distanceof 15 cm(6 inches) between the phone and the device. Usethe phone at your right ear. Do not carry the phone in yourbreast pocket. Turn off the phone if you suspectinterference. For use in proximity to personal medicaldevices, please consult a physician and the devicemanufacturer.DrivingSome vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of phones intheir vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an externalantenna supports the installation. Check with the vehiclemanufacturer's representative to be sure that the mobilephone or Bluetooth handsfree will not affect the electronicsystems in the vehicle. Full attention should be given todriving at all times and local laws and regulations restrictingthe use of wireless devices while driving must be observed.GPS/Location based functionsSome products provide GPS/Location based functions.Location determining functionality is provided “As is” and“With all faults”. Sony does not make any representation orwarranty as to the accuracy of such location information.Use of location-based information by the device may notbe uninterrupted or error free and may additionally bedependent on network service availability. Please note thatfunctionality may be reduced or prevented in certainenvironments such as building interiors or areas adjacentto buildings.5 Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner whichcauses distraction from driving.Emergency callsCalls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never relysolely upon mobile phones for essential communication.Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all networks, orwhen certain network services and/or phone features areused.AntennaUse of antenna devices not marketed by Sony coulddamage the phone, reduce performance, and produceSAR levels above the established limits. Do not cover theantenna with your hand as this affects call quality, powerlevels and can shorten talk and standby times.Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR)When the phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, itemits low levels of radio frequency energy. Internationalsafety guidelines have been developed through periodicand thorough evaluation of scientific studies. Theseguidelines establish permitted levels of radio waveexposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designedto assure the safety of all persons and to account for anyvariations in measurements.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body when using amobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highestcertified power level in laboratory conditions, but becausethe phone is designed to use the minimum powernecessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR6 level can be well below this value. There is no proof ofdifference in safety based on difference in SAR value.Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must becertified by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). When required, tests are performed when thephone is placed at the ear and when worn on the body.For body-worn operation, the phone has been testedwhen positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the bodywithout any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or whenproperly used with an appropriate Sony accessory andworn on the body. When operating with “Hotspot”functionality engaged, a separation distance of 10mm wasused.For more information about SAR and radio frequencyexposure, go to: www.sonymobile.com/health.Flight modeBluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the device,can be enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibitedonboard aircraft or in other areas where radiotransmissions are prohibited.
