before charging or using it.

Recommendations for care and safe use of our products

Do not use a damaged device, such as a device with a cracked display or badly dented back cover, as

it may cause injury or harm. Please contact an authorised Sony Mobile repair partner to investigate a

damaged device.

• Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place.

• Use a soft damp cloth to clean your device.

• Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

• Do not use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including

excess depths and/or pressures of liquid and/or dust) or expose to excess humidity.

• For optimum performance, the product should not be operated in temperatures below -

10°C(+14°F) or above +45°C(+113°F). 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 the product.

• Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony authorised personnel

should perform service.

• Consult with authorised 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.

• Be careful where you place your device. Avoid exposing the display to excessive pressure, for

example, by placing it in a pocket and sitting on it or by bending down quickly to pick up something.

Such pressure may cause the display to crack.

• Caution: Cracked or broken displays may create sharp edges or splinters that could be harmful upon

contact.

• Do not use a Bluetooth Headset in positions where it is uncomfortable or will be subject to pressure.

• Do not expose your device or your accessories to magnetic mediums (diskettes, credit cards, etc.).

• Avoid contact against your skin for longer periods. The heat generated when your device is

transmitting can irritate your skin. It is recommended to use a headset for long phone calls.

Children

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.

Charging

The use of charging devices that are not Sony-branded may pose increased safety risks.

• Only connect the charger to power sources as indicated on the device.

• Charge the battery in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).

• When charging your device using the USB cable, make sure the USB cable is positioned so that it will

not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Disconnect the power supply when the device is fully charged. When a power supply is connected,

there is a small drain of power.

• Remove the charger from the outlet by holding on to the adapter rather than the USB cable. Doing so

reduces the risk of damage to the cable.

• Unplug the charger before cleaning it to reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use the charger outdoors or in damp areas.

• Do not charge the device near to inflammable material as the heat can cause a fire.

Do not attempt to alter or modify the USB cable or the plug. Do not force the plug if it does not fit into a

power outlet as this may result in electric shock. Instead, have a qualified electrician install the correct type

of socket.

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 battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or

other hazard.

Personal medical devices

Mobile devices and devices with radio transmitters may affect implanted medical equipment. Before using

the device in close proximity to personal medical devices, please consult a physician and the medical

device manufacturer.

• Consult with authorised medical staff and refer to the instructions provided by the medical device

manufacturer before using the product near pacemakers or other medical devices or equipment.

• If you are in close proximity to a pacemaker or other medical devices, or you are in a hospital, or you

have a pacemaker or a cochlear implant, or you are using a hearing aid, please consult authorised

physicians and refer to instructions from the medical device manufacturer before you use the product.

• Keep a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) between your device and the medical device to reduce

the risk of interference.

• Turn off your device if you suspect interference.

• Do not carry your device in your breast pocket.

Driving

In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of mobile devices in their vehicles unless a

handsfree kit with an external antenna is used.

• 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.

• Give full attention to driving at all times and follow local laws about the use of mobile devices while

driving.

• Do not place your device, or install wireless equipment, in the area above an air bag in a car.

• Do not transport or store explosives, inflammable liquids or gas in a compartment in your vehicle where

you have mobile devices or accessories.

GPS/Location based functions

Some devices 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.

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.

Some 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.

Devices with 3D viewing capabilities

When viewing 3D images shot with a 3D viewing-capable device, you may experience discomfort in the

form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea when the images are viewed on a 3D-compatible monitor. To prevent

these symptoms, we recommend that you take regular breaks. However, you need to determine for

yourself the length and frequency of the 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. For additional information, refer to the operating instructions included with the 3D device or

3D software you are using with this device.

*Conditions Apply

Conditions

1. This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for this Device issued by a Sony

authorised dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, is presented with the device 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 Device from the dealer.

2. If Sony repairs or replaces the Device, the repair for the defect concerned, or the replaced device 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 Device that is due to:

• Normal wear and tear.

• Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including liquid

damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such use).

• Misuse or failure to use in accordance with the Sony instructions for use and maintenance of the device.

Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Device 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 cannot 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.

4. Since the cellular system on which the Device 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 device failures caused by installations, modifications, or repair or opening

of the Device performed by a non-Sony authorised person.

6. The warranty does not cover device 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 Device.

7. Sony disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, for failures caused to the Device 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 Device and any

peripheral devices connected to it, as available, and update it regularly, to better protect your device. It

is understood, however, that such software will never fully protect your Device 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.

8. Tampering with any of the seals on the Device will void the warranty.

9. 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 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,

or the consumer’s rights against the dealer arising from their sales / purchase contract.
