Children
Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to play with mobile devices 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 a 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 pose increased safety risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced
capacity. Fully charge the battery before initial use. Use for
the intended purpose only. 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. Turn off the product
before removing the battery. Performance depends on
temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, 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
4
battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or
other hazard.
Personal medical devices
Mobile devices / devices with radio transmitters may affect
implanted medical equipment. Reduce risk of interference
by keeping a minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches)
between the Sony product and the medical device. Use the
Sony device at your right ear, when applicable. Do not carry
the device in your breast pocket. Turn off the device if you
suspect interference. For use in proximity to personal
medical devices, please consult a physician and the device
manufacturer.
Driving
In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of
mobile devices 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 a
mobile device 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
5
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 Sony mobile devices for essential
communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on
all networks, or when certain network services and/or
mobile device features are used. Please note that some
Sony devices are not capable of supporting voice calls,
including emergency calls.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony could
damage the mobile device, reduce performance, and
produce Specific Absorption Rate (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 mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree
functionality 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
6
mobile device. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but because
the device 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 device
is placed at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-
worn operation, the device has been tested when
positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the device or when properly
used with an appropriate Sony accessory and worn on the
body. When operating with “Hotspot” functionality
engaged, a separation distance of 10 mm was used.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency
exposure, go to:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/about-us/
sustainability/health-and-safety/sar/
.
Flight mode
Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (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 authorisation
before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in
Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can
harm device. Malware or harmful applications can include
viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While the device does employ security measures to resist
7
such efforts, Sony does not warrant or represent that the
device will be impervious to the 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 the mobile device 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, 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 Mobile devices 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

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.
13
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 authorised distributors or
service partners, in the country/region* where you
purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair,
replace or refund the purchase price of 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

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
14
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
that is due to:
•Normal wear and tear.
•Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations,

•Misuse or failure to use 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, or acts of God.
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 the battery. Sony
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers
approved by Sony.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour may
occur between devices. There may be tiny bright or dark
dots on the display. It occurs 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 devices. This is nothing uncommon and is
not regarded as a defective camera module.
15
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 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 branded original accessories
intended for use with the Product.
Sony disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or
implied, for failures caused to the Product or peripheral
devices as a result of viruses, trojan horses, spyware, or
other malicious software. Sony strongly recommends that
you install appropriate virus protection software on your
Product and any peripheral devices connected to it, as
available, and update it regularly, to better protect your

never fully protect your Product or its peripheral devices
and Sony disclaims all warranties, whether express or
implied, in case of failure by such antivirus software to
fulfil its intended purpose.
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 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
16
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.
