Android™ – what and why?
Your Xperia smartphone from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android phones
can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you can customise them
to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete applications, or enhance
existing applications to improve functionality. On Google Play™ you can download a
range of applications and games from a constantly growing collection. You can also
integrate applications on your Android™ phone with other applications and with
online services that you use. For example, you can back up your phone contacts,
access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of
your appointments, and engage in social networking.
Your Android™ phone is pre-loaded with Google™ services. To get the most out of the
provided Google™ services, you should have a Google™ account and sign in to it when you
first start your phone. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in
Android™.
Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there
are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.

Battery
Your phone has an embedded battery.
Charging the battery
Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before you turn on the phone for the first
time. When you connect the phone charger cable to a power source, such as a USB
port or a phone charger, it may take a few minutes before the battery icon
appears on the screen. You can still use your phone while it is charging. Charging the
phone over a long period of time, for example, overnight, does not damage the
battery or the phone.
The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a
certain time when the phone charger is connected. This is to extend battery life and may result
in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.

To charge the phone
1Plug the phone charger into a power outlet.
2Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
3Plug the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your phone, with
the USB symbol facing up. The battery status LED lights up when charging
starts. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the LED lights up after you connect the phone charger cable to a power
source.
4When the battery status LED is green, the phone is fully charged. Disconnect
the USB cable from your phone by pulling it straight outwards. Make sure not
to bend the connector when removing the cable from the phone.
Use the charger and USB cable provided with the phone to ensure faster charging.

Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•Charge your phone often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery.
•Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. When you're not using the
Internet, you can save power by disabling all data connections over mobile networks.
This setting does not prevent your phone from transmitting data over other wireless
networks.
•Turn off GPS, Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can
turn them on and off more easily by adding the Quick settings widget to your Home
screen.
•Use the Power Saver feature to reduce battery consumption. You can select the
power saving mode that best suits the way you use your phone. You can also
customise the settings of each power saving mode.
•Set your synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and
contacts) to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically, but
increase the synchronisation intervals.
•Check the battery usage menu in the phone to see which applications use the most
power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
applications, such as YouTube™. Some applications downloaded from Google
Play™ may also consume more power.
•Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•Lower the screen display brightness level.
•Turn off your phone or activate the Airplane mode setting if you are in an area with
no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available
networks, and this consumes power.
•Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices demand
less battery power than the phone's loudspeakers.
•Keep your phone in standby whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time
during which the phone is connected to the network and is not being used.
•Disable any live wallpaper.
•Go to www.att.com/tutorials to get the latest battery performance tips for your phone
model.

Tips on using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in,
you achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning
it against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the camera screen view
with your subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical
photos. Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets
and bags. This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with
fingerprints. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens.

Using location services to find your
position
Use your phone to find out where you are. There are two methods: GPS and wireless
networks. Enable the wireless networks option if you only need your approximate
location, and want it fast. If you want a more exact position, and have a clear view of
the sky, enable the GPS option. In situations where the wireless network connection
is weak, you should enable both options to ensure that your location is found.
Sony does not warrant the accuracy of any location services including but not limited to
navigational services.
To enable GPS
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Tap Settings > Location services.
3Mark the GPS satellites checkbox.
Using GPS
Your phone has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that uses satellite signals
to calculate your location.
When you use features that require the GPS receiver to find your location, make sure you have
a clear view of the sky.
Getting the best performance
The first time you use the GPS it can take 5 to 10 minutes for your location to be
found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and
don't cover the GPS antenna (the highlighted area in the image). The GPS signals can
pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as
buildings and mountains. If your location isn't found after a few minutes, move to
another location.

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 or the manufacturer of this
phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return
or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating
This model handset was designed to comply with the requirements set forth in
Section 20.19 of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) rules governing
hearing aid compatibility (HAC), for the reduction of RF interference and magnetic
coupling (T-coil) to hearing aids. The Microphone (M) rating and T-coil (T) rating is
defined and labeled on the handset box. Devices meeting HAC compliance must
have a minimum M3 and/or T3 rating or above as defined by the FCC in accordance
with the latest ANSI Standard C63.19. The (M) rating refers to lower RF emission
levels of the handset. The (T) rating refers to the magnetic coupling between the
handset and the T-coil compatible hearing aid. 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.

not represented in the list below, please contact your local dealer. (Calls
are charged according to national rates, including local taxes, unless the
phone number is a toll-free number.)
If your product needs service, please contact the dealer from whom it
was purchased, or one of our service partners. For warranty claims, save
proof of purchase.
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 to liquid or moisture or excess humidity.
•For optimum performance, the product should not be
operated in temperatures below +14°F(-10°C) or above
+113°F(+45°C). Do not expose the battery to temperatures
above +140°F(+60°C).
2
•Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products.
•Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product.
•Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the
product. Only Sony authorized personnel should perform
service.
•Consult with authorized medical staff and the instructions of the
medical device manufacturer before using the 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 the product, or install wireless equipment, in the area
above an air bag in a car.
• Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or
splinters that could be harmful upon contact.
•Do not use the 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 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 branded may impose increased safety risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully charge
the battery before initial use. Use for intended purpose only. Charge the
battery in temperatures between +41°F (+5°C) and +113°F (+45°C). 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,
3
features selected and voice or data transmissions. Only Sony service
partners should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of batteries that
are not Sony branded may pose increased safety risks. Replace the
battery only with another Sony 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
Phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of
interference by keeping a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 cm) 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. In the event of use in proximity to personal medical devices,
please consult a physician and the device 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
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.
GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location
determining functionality is provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony
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
phones for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all
4
areas, on all networks, or when certain network services and/or phone
features are used.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony 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 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 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 accessory and worn on the body. When operation with “Hotspot”
functionality is engaged, a separation distance of 10mm is used.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure, go to:
www.sonymobile.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 authorization before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN
functionality even in Flight mode.

Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm your
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 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 phone from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony branded original accessories and certified service
partners. Sony 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 Xperia phones may offer compatibility with
TTY terminals (with use of necessary accessory). For more information
call the Sony 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
and batteries
This symbols on the electronic product or on its packaging indicates that
the electronic product, including the battery, should not be treated as
household waste. Instead, it should be handed over to the applicable
collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
Do not attempt to remove internal batteries. Internal batteries must only
be removed by a waste treatment facility or trained service professional.
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human health,
which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this
product. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural
resources. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product, by calling a Sony
Contact Center or at www.sonymobile .com/recycling.

Memory card
If the product comes complete with a removable memory card, it is
generally compatible with the handset 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 the
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.
SIM card
If your phone is equipped with a standard-sized SIM card slot, inserting
an incompatible SIM card (for example, a micro SIM card, a micro SIM
card with a non-Sony adapter, or a standard SIM card cut into a micro
SIM card size) in the SIM card slot may damage your SIM card or your
phone permanently. Sony does not warrant and will not be responsible
for any damage caused by use of incompatible or modified SIM cards.
For Devices Supporting 3D Viewing capabilities
In viewing 3D images shot with this phone on a 3D-compatible monitor,
you may experience discomfort in the form of eye strain, fatigue, or
nausea. To prevent these symptoms, we recommend that you take
regular breaks. However, you need to determine for yourself the length
and frequency of breaks you require, as they vary according to the
individual. If you experience any type of discomfort, stop viewing the 3D
images until you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also
refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device or software
you have connected or are using with this phone. Note that a child’s
eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly children below the
age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your
child view 3D images, and make sure he/she observes the above
precautions when viewing such images.
Warning!
If the device requires an adapter for insertion into the handset or another
device, do not insert the card directly without the required adapter.
7

Limited Warranty
Sony Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund, Sweden, (Sony) or
its local affiliated company, provides this Limited Warranty for your
phone, original accessory delivered with your 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 Contact
Center (national rates may apply) or visit www.sonymobile.com to get
further information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony 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 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 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 Product is repaired or replaced.
At present Sony may be prevented by applicable law, other regulation or
technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain downloads.
Sony 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 Product such
as downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in your Sony
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 authorized dealer specifying the date of
10
purchase and serial number**, is presented with the Product to be
repaired or replaced. Sony 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 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.
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 instructions for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does
this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to 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 recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved
by Sony.
Minor variations in display brightness and color may occur between
the phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots on the display. It
occurs when individual dots have malfunctioned and cannot 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, Sony 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 authorized 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
branded original accessories intended for use with the Product.
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
11
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 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 authorized Sony
distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in the country you are in,
please call the local Sony Contact Center. Please observe that certain
services may not be available outside 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.

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 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 0.96 W/kg*,
and when worn on the body is 1.13 W/kg* for speech and
1.32 W/kg* for data calls. 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 accessory and
worn on the body. For devices which include “WiFi hotspot”
functionality, SAR measurements for the device operating in
WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of

10mm. Use of third-party accessories may result in different
SAR levels than those reported.
**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 PY7PM-0140. 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.

CE MODÈLE DE TÉLÉPHONE A ÉTÉ CERTIFIÉ CONFORME
AUX EXIGENCES GOUVERNEMENTALES RELATIVES À
L'EXPOSITION AUX ONDES RADIOÉLECTRIQUES.
Les téléphones mobiles de la ont été conçus pour répondre
aux normes de sécurité en vigueur en matière d'exposition aux
ondes radioélectriques. Votre téléphone sans fil est un émetteur
et un récepteur radio. Il est conçu de manière à ne pas dépasser
les limites* d'exposition à l'énergie des fréquences radio (RF)
établies par les autorités gouvernementales. Ces limites fixent les
niveaux maximaux d'énergie RF auxquels peut être soumis le
grand public. Ces lignes directrices sont basées sur des normes
qui ont été élaborées par des organisations scientifiques
internationales par le biais d'évaluations périodiques et
approfondies des études scientifiques. Ces normes prévoient
une marge de sécurité visant à assurer la protection de tous les
individus, peu importe leur âge et leur état de santé.
Les lignes directrices relatives à l'exposition aux ondes
radioélectriques utilisent une unité de mesure appelée « Taux
d'absorption spécifique » (TAS). Les tests de TAS sont effectués
selon des méthodes standardisées dans lesquelles le téléphone
émet dans toutes les bandes de fréquences utilisées, à la plus
forte puissance pour laquelle il a été homologué. Bien que le
TAS puisse être différent d'un modèle de téléphone à un autre,
tous les appareils sont conçus pour respecter les lignes
directrices relatives aux ondes radioélectriques. Pour en savoir
plus sur le TAS, reportez-vous au chapitre sur l'utilisation
efficace et sans danger du guide de l'utilisateur.
Le TAS le plus élevé relevé par les autorités pour ce modèle de
téléphone est de 0.96 W/kg* lorsqu'il est testé en utilisation près
de l'oreille, et de 1.13 W/kg* pour les appels vocaux et de
1.32 W/kg* pour les transmissions de données lorsqu'il est porté
sur le corps. En mode d’utilisation porté sur le corps, le
téléphone a été testé lorsqu’il est à au moins 15 mm du corps et
à l’écart de toute pièce en métal, ou lorsqu’il est utilisé de façon

adéquate avec un accessoire Sony et porté sur le corps. Pour
les appareils munis de la fonctionnalité « point d'accès WiFi »,
les mesures du TAS de l'appareil en mode WiFi ont été prises à
une distance de sécurité de 10 mm. L'utilisation d'accessoires
tiers peut produire des niveaux de TAS différents de ceux
relevés.
**Avant qu'un modèle de téléphone ne soit mis en vente
auprès du public aux États-Unis, la Commission fédérale des
communications (CFC) doit le tester et certifier qu'il respecte les
limites fixées dans les exigences gouvernementales d'exposition
sans danger*. Pour chaque modèle, les tests sont effectués en
position et aux endroits d'usage (c.-à-d. près de l'oreille et porté
sur le corps), tel que requis par la CFC. La CFC a accordé une
autorisation d'équipement pour ce modèle de téléphone, après
que tous les niveaux de TAS indiqués aient été évalués et
considérés conformes aux lignes directrices de la CFC en
matière d'exposition aux radiofréquences. Même s'il peut y avoir
des différences entre les niveaux de TAS des différents
téléphones, tous les téléphones mobiles auxquels la CFC a
accordé une autorisation d'équipement répondent aux normes
gouvernementales en matière d'exposition sans danger. La CFC
conserve dans ses dossiers l'information relative aux TAS relevés
pour ce modèle de téléphone. Vous pouvez la consulter au
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid sous la rubrique « Display Grant »,
après avoir effectué une recherche sur CFC ID PY7PM-0140.
Vous trouverez des renseignements supplémentaires concernant
le TAS sur le site Web de la Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) au http://www.phonefacts.net.
* Aux États-Unis et au Canada, la limite de TAS des
téléphones mobiles utilisés par le public est de 1,6 watt/kg
(W/kg) en moyenne sur un gramme de tissus. Cette norme
comporte une marge importante de sécurité afin d'assurer une
protection supplémentaire et de tenir compte de toute variation
dans les mesures.

ESTE MODELO DE TELÉFONO HA SIDO CERTIFICADO
CONFORME A LOS REQUISITOS GUBERNAMENTALES PARA
LA EXPOSICIÓN A ONDAS DE RADIO.
Los teléfonos móviles de la Serie han sido diseñados según
los requisitos de seguridad aplicables para la exposición a ondas
de radio. Su teléfono inalámbrico es un transmisor y receptor de
radio. Está diseñado para no superar los límites* de exposición a
energía de radiofrecuencia (RF) fijados por las autoridades
gubernamentales. Estos límites establecen los niveles permitidos
de energía de RF para la población general. Las especificaciones
se basan en los estándares desarrollados por organizaciones
científicas internacionales mediante evaluaciones periódicas y
minuciosas de estudios científicos. Los estándares incluyen un
margen de seguridad destinado a garantizar la seguridad de
todas las personas, independientemente de la edad y de la
salud.
Las especificaciones de la exposición a ondas de radio
emplean una unidad de medida conocida como la Tasa
específica de absorción (SAR, por su sigla en inglés). Las
pruebas de SAR se llevan a cabo mediante el uso de métodos
estandarizados con la transmisión telefónica al más alto nivel de
energía registrado en todas las bandas de frecuencia utilizadas.
Aunque es posible que haya diferencias entre los niveles de SAR
de los diferentes modelos de teléfonos, todos están diseñados
para cumplir con las especificaciones correspondientes de la
exposición a ondas de radio. Para obtener más información
sobre SAR, consulte el capítulo sobre uso seguro y eficaz que se
encuentra en la Guía del usuario.
Según se reportó a las autoridades, el valor más alto de SAR
de este modelo de teléfono cuando se probó usándolo cerca del
oído es de 0.96 W/kg* y al usarlo en el cuerpo es de 1.13 W/kg*
para hablar y 1.32 W/kg* para llamadas de datos. Para su uso
cerca del cuerpo, el teléfono ha sido probado para su

cuando se utiliza correctamente con el accesorio adecuado
Sony. En lo que respecta a los dispositivos que cuentan con la
funcionalidad “Zona activa WiFi”, las medidas SAR del
dispositivo que funciona, en modo de zona activa WiFi, se
tomaron mediante el uso de una distancia de separación de 10
mm. El uso de accesorios de terceros puede resultar en niveles
de SAR diferentes a aquellos que se reportaron.
**Antes de que un modelo de teléfono se encuentre disponible
para la venta al público en los Estados Unidos, la Comisión
federal de telecomunicaciones (FCC) debe aprobarlo y certificar
que no supera el límite establecido por el requisito adoptado por
el gobierno para una exposición segura*. Las pruebas se llevan a
cabo en posiciones y ubicaciones (es decir, cerca del oído y
cerca del cuerpo) según lo requiere la FCC para cada modelo.
La FCC ha otorgado una Autorización de equipo para este
modelo de teléfono con todos los niveles de SAR reportados, los
cuales fueron evaluados conforme a las especificaciones de
exposición a RF de la FCC. Aunque es posible que haya
diferencias entre los niveles de SAR de los diferentes teléfonos,
todos los teléfonos móviles que cuentan con una autorización de
equipo de la FCC cumplen con los requisitos gubernamentales

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
information
The Series mobile phones have been designed to comply
with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio
waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines
that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised 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 information on SAR, please refer to the safety
chapter in the User Guide.
SAR data information for residents in countries that have
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
which is 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for
example European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested by
Sony for use at the ear is 0.70 W/kg (10g).

Información importante
Latinoamérica y América del Sur
Información acerca de la exposición a ondas de radio y la
Tasa específica de absorción (SAR)
El teléfono móvil ha sido diseñado para cumplir con los
requisitos de seguridad aplicables de exposición a las ondas de
radio. Dichos requisitos se basan en directrices científicas que
establecen márgenes de seguridad con el fin de evitar perjuicos
a todas las personas, independientemente de su edad o estado
de salud.
Las directrices de exposición a ondas de radio utilizan una
unidad de medida denominada coeficiente de absorción
específica o SAR. Las pruebas de SAR se líevan a cabo
utilizando métodos normalizados, con el teléfono transmitiendo
en el nivel más elevado de potencia autoridado en todas las
bandas de frecuencia utilizadas.
Aunque puede existir diferencias entre los niveles de SAR de
diferentes modelos de teléfono, todos han sido diseñados para
cumplir las directrices pertinentes sobre exposición a ondas de
radio.
Para obtener más información sobre el SAR, consulte el
capítulo sobre seguridad en la guía del usuario.
Información sobre datos de SAR para residentes de países en
los que se haya adoptado el limite de SAR recomendado por la
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP, Comisión internacional de protección contra la
radiación no ionizantes (ICNIRP, International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection), es 2 W/kg promedio por
cada diez (10) gramos de tejido (por ejemplo, la Unión Europea,
Japón, Brasil y Nueva Zelanda):
El valor de SAR más elevado para este modelo de teléfono
cuando Sony realizó la prueba para su uso en la oreja era de
0,70 W/kg (10g).

Informações sobre SAR (Taxa de Absorção Específica) e
exposição à radiofreqüência
O celular foi projetado para cumprir os requisitos de
segurança aplicáveis para exposição à radiofreqüência. Esses
requisitos têm como base diretrizes científicas que incluem as
margens de segurança para garantir a segurança de todas as
pessoas, independentemente da idade e da saúde.
As diretrizes de exposição à radiofreqüência usam uma
unidade de medida conhecida como SAR ou Taxa de Absorção
Específica. Os testes de SAR são conduzidos por métodos
padronizados com a transmissão telefônica em seu nível
certificado de energia mais alto em todas as faixas de freqüência
usadas.
Embora possa haver diferenças entre os níveis de SAR de
vários modelos de telefone, todos foram projetados para atender
as diretrizes relevantes de exposição à radiofreqüência.
Para obter mais informações sobre SAR, consulte o capítulo
de segurança do Guia do Usuário.
