Do not cover the antenna with your handas this affects call quality, power levels and can shortentalk and standby times.Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR)When the mobile device or Bluetooth handsfreefunctionality is turned on, it emits low levels of radiofrequency energy. International safety guidelines have beendeveloped through periodic and thorough evaluation ofscientific studies. These guidelines establish permittedlevels of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include asafety margin designed to assure the safety of all personsand to account for any variations in measurements.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body when using amobile device. The SAR value is determined at the highestcertified power level in laboratory conditions, but because6the device is designed to use the minimum powernecessary to access the chosen network, the actual SARlevel 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 the deviceis placed at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-worn operation, the device has been tested whenpositioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without anymetal parts in the vicinity of the device or when properlyused with an appropriate Sony accessory and worn on thebody. When operating with “Hotspot” functionalityengaged, a separation distance of 10 mm was used.For more information about SAR and radio frequencyexposure, go to: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/about-us/sustainability/health-and-safety/sar/.Flight modeBluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)functionality, if available in the device, can be enabled inFlight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or inother areas where radio transmissions are prohibited.
