Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

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).

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.

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.

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
