Sony Ericsson P800 User Guide

							Troubleshooting171This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. No networkThis indicates that no network is within range. The reason for 
this is either:
1. You are in an area that is not covered by a network.
2. The received signal is too weak, possibly because you are 
being shielded from the signal. Move to obtain a sufficiently 
strong signal. Check your display signal strength indicator.System failureIn case of a system failure, your P800 will flash an animated 
warning. To recover, please restart the P800 like this:
1. Press and hold the On/Off button at least 10 seconds to turn 
the P800 off.
2. Restart as normal: Press the On/Off button to turn on your 
P800. 
						

							172Guidelines for safe and efficient useThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Guidelines for safe and efficient usePlease read this information before using your mobile phone.
Important: To avoid hearing impairment, answer call or lower 
volume before placing this product to the ear.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.
• Turn your product off in places where posted notices instruct 
you to do so and in places where mobile phones are 
prohibited including aircraft and hospitals.
• Do not place your product or install wireless equipment in 
the area above your cars air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Only Sony 
Ericsson authorised personnel should perform service.• If your mobile phone is equipped with infrared, never direct 
the infrared ray at anyones eye and make sure that it does not 
disturb any other infrared units.
AntennaOnly use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony 
Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of unauthorised 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).Efficient UseHold 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.Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SARYour 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). 
						

							Guidelines for safe and efficient use173This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. 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.Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phones 
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 you are not using an accessory that contain 
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/
.
DrivingPlease check if local laws/regulations restrict the use of mobile 
phones while driving or require drivers to use handsfree 
solutions. We recommend that you use only Ericsson or Sony 
Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with your product. 
						

							174Guidelines for safe and efficient useThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and 
park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so 
require.
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.Personal Medical DevicesMobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers 
and other implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile 
phone over the pacemaker, e.g. in your breast pocket. When 
using the mobile phone, place it at the ear opposite the 
pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept 
between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of 
interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that 
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your mobile 
phone. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of 
the device.
ChildrenDO 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 CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT 
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING 
HAZARD.Disposing of the Product Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. 
Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic 
products.Power SupplyConnect the AC power adapter only to designated power 
sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is 
positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or stress. To 
reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power 
source before attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter 
must not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter the cord 
or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper 
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 
						

							Guidelines for safe and efficient use175This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Emergency CallsMobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot 
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should 
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential 
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or 
when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are 
in use. Check with your local service provider.
Using wireless technology to help find you in case of an 
emergency is a goal shared by the entire wireless industry, local 
phone companies and the emergency response centers. Your 
phone includes technology which represents the first step 
towards that goal. However, the complexity of mobile 
communication technology, combined with related 
implementation technologies means that this locating feature 
may not work in all cases, even if you are able to speak with an 
emergency response center. Always review with an emergency 
response center all location data you have, including 
intersecting streets, as well as any landmarks, to assist in 
locating you. Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work 
with the entire communications industry to improve location 
features for emergency response.
Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s) including 
operation, coverage, or range of the network services provided 
by network carriers independent of Sony Ericsson.
Battery InformationWe recommend that you charge the battery for 4 hours before 
you use your mobile phone for the first time. The battery can 
only be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and 
+45°C (+113°F).
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time 
could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used.
The talk and standby times depend on usage conditions and 
network configurations when using the mobile phone. If the 
mobile phone is used near a base station, less power is required 
and talk and standby times are prolonged.
