Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection), through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population. All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to operate within these stringent levels.
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 various mobile phones, all
Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed
to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
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/.
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 only 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.
