age your
product.
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not use your product near medical equipmen
t
without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or aro
und
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 authorised
personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only 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 belo
w).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phon
e.
Do not cover the top of the phone when in use, as
this affects call quality and may cause the ph
one to
operate at a higher power level than needed, thus
shortening talk and standby times.
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 wa
ves
or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopte
d
comprehensive international safety guideline
s,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical an
d
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic an
d
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wa
ve
exposure for the general population. The levels incl
ude
a safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to accou
nt
for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency ener
gy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile
phone.
The SAR value is determined at the highest certifie
d
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR
level of the mobile phone while operating can be we
ll
below this value. This is because the mobile phon
