RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE 
AND SARYour mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and 
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low leve ls of radio 
frequency energy (also known as radio waves or r adio 
frequency fields). 
Governments around the world have adopted 
comprehensive international safety  guidelines, 
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. I CNIRP 
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiat ion 
Protection), through periodic and thorough evaluat ion 
of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitte d 
levels of radio wave exposure for the general pop ulation. 
All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are de signed to 
operate within these stringent levels. The levels in clude 
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 measur e-
ment for the amount of radio frequency energy abso rbed 
by the body when using a mobile phone. Th e SAR value 
is determined at the highest certified power level in  labo-
ratory  conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile  
phone while operating can be well below this va lue. 
This is because the mobile phone is designed to  use 
the minimum power required to reach the netw ork. 
Therefore, the closer you are to a base statio n, 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 amo ng 
various mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile  phone 
models are designed to meet radio frequency  exposure 
guidelines. Accessories can significantly affect a mobile p hones 
compliance with the radio frequency exposure guide lines. 
For example, the Federal Communication Commis sion in 
the U.S. requires that some manufacturers accessor ies 
shall be tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so w ith 
respect to its products. To avoid causing loss of 
performance or radio frequency  exposure levels  above 
the permissible limits it is recommended that you o nly 
use Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original acc essories 
supplied with or designated for use with this m obile 
phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your body w hile 
it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony Ericss on 
or Ericsson original body worn accessory, please en sure 
that the mobile phone is positioned a minimum of 1.5 cm 
from your body and that you are not using an  accessory 
that contain any metal.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for th is mobile 
phone model is included with the material that  comes 
with this mobile phone. This information can also b e 
found, together with more information on radio fre quency 
exposure and SAR, on www.SonyEricsson.com/.

62 Additional informationDRIVINGPlease check if local laws and regulations restrict the use 
of mobile phones while driving or require drive rs to use 
handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use  only 
Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions inte nded 
for use with your product. Please note that be cause of 
possible interference to electronic equipment, some 
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phon es 
in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an ex ternal 
antenna supports the installation. 
Always give full attention to driving and pull off th e road 
and park before making or answering a call if dr iving 
conditions so require. PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICESMobile phones may affect the operation of card iac 
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please  
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacema ker, 
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the m obile phone, 
place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a m inimum 
distance of 6 inches (15 cm) is kept between t he mobile 
phone and the pacemaker, the risk of inter ference is 
limited. If you have any reason to suspect that int erference 
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.

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 O R ITS 
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PAR TS THAT 
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKI NG 
HAZARD.DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT Your mobile phone should not be placed 
in municipal waste. Please check local

EMERGENCY CALLSMobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot 
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore  
you should never rely solely upon any mobi le 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.Emergency Response Center Location 
TechnologyUsing 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 emerge ncy 
response centers. Your phone may support an e mergency 
positioning sy stem being implemented by some s ervice 
providers. But the complexity of mobile comm unication 
technology, combined with related implementation 
technologies, means that your wireless carrier , the local 
phone companies, and emergency response centers a ll 
have a role to play  in implementing this capability .
So even if your phone supports this technology  and  
even if the locating features works in one area  there 
is no guarantee that it will work in all areas fo r all calls 
to emergency  response centers. Always review w ith 
an emergency response center all location da ta you 
have, including intersecting streets, as well as any 
landmarks, to assist in locating you. Sony Ericsson is committed to continuing to work w
ith 
the entire communications industry to improve loc ation 
features for emergency response.
 Sony Ericsson is not liable for any service(s) in cluding 
operation, coverage, or range of the   network  services 
provided by network carriers independent of Sony  
Ericsson.
BATTERY USE AND CAREWe recommend that you fully charge the batter y before 
you use your mobile phone for the first time . The battery 
can only be charged in temperatures between +41 °F 
(+5°C) and +113°F (+45°C). 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 the actua l 
transmission conditions when using the mob ile phone. 
If the mobile phone is used near a base station, less 
power is required and talk and standby times a re 
prolonged. 
 Warning!  May  explode if disposed of in fire.
 Use only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson bra nded original 
batteries and chargers intended for use with you r mobile 
phone. Other chargers may not charge sufficiently  or 
may produce excessive heat. Using other batterie s and 
chargers could be dangerous.
