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, 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 / 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

This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

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 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

This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

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 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 authorization before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN

functionality even in Flight mode.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm

your device. Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,

worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs. While the

This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

device does employ security measures to resist 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,

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 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 (voice), or go to
