Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your mobile

phone.

Recommendations

•Always treat your product with care and keep it in

a clean and dust-free place.

•Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture

or humidity.

•Do not expose your product to extreme high or low

temperatures.

•Do not expose your product to open flames or lit

tobacco products.

•Do not drop, throw, or try to bend your product.

•Do not paint your product.

•Do not use your product when in, or around

aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.

•Do not use your product in an area where a

potentially explosive atmosphere exists.

•Do not place your product or install wireless

equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.

•Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only

Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should perform

service.

•If your mobile phone is equipped with infrared,

never direct the infrared ray at anyone’s eye and

make sure that it does not disturb any other

infrared units.

Antenna

Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed

by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of

unauthorized or modified antennas could damage your

mobile phone and may violate regulations, causing loss

of performance and SAR levels above the recommended

limits (see below).

Notfor CommercialUse

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Efficient Use

•Hold your mobile phone as you would any other

phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in

use, as this affects call quality and may cause the

phone to operate at a higher power level than

needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.

•Do not use the mobile phone with the front and/or

back cover removed from the unit.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure

and SAR

Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and

receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio

frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio

frequency fields).

Governments around the world have adopted

comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed

by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)

and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation

of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted

levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.

The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to

account for any variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of

measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy

absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The

SAR value is determined at the highest certified power

level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of

the mobile phone while operating can be well below this

value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to

use the minimum power required to reach the network.

Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more

likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.

Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure

guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.

While there may be differences in SAR levels among

mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models

are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

Notfor CommercialUse

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone’s

compliance with the radio frequency exposure guidelines.

For example, the Federal Communication Commission

in the U.S. requires that some manufacturers’ accessories

shall be tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so with

respect to its products. To avoid causing loss of

performance or radio frequency exposure levels above the

permissible limits it is recommended that you only use

Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original accessories intended

for use with the mobile phone. If you wear the mobile

phone on your body while it is transmitting, and you

do not use a Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original body

worn accessory, please ensure that the mobile phone is

positioned a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body and

that you are not using an accessory that contains any

metal.

A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile

phone model is included with the material that comes

with this mobile phone. This information can also be

found, together with more information on radio

frequency exposure and SAR, on:

www.SonyEricsson.com.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from

RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may

not be shielded against the RF signals from your mobile

phone, therefore:

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)

inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld

wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential

interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations

are consistent with the independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone is

turned ON;

•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference.

•If you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some

hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may

want to consult your service provider or call your local

Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult

the manufacturer of your device to determine if they

are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your

physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any

regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted

notices so require.

Driving

Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use

of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use

handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use

Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended

for use with your product. Please note that because of

possible interference to electronic equipment, some

vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones

in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external

antenna supports the installation.

Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road

and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions so require.

Children

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH

YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORIES.

THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS,

OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE

MOBILE PHONE OR ACCESSORY. YOUR

MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY
