Additional information
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
• 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 authorised
personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifical
ly
designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone.
Use of unauthorised or modified antennas co
uld
damage your mobile phone and may violate regulation
s,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels a
bove
the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other pho
ne.
Do not cover the top of the phone when in use, as th
is
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
SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitt
er and
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radi
o waves
or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelin
es,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNI
RP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Rad
iation
Protection) and IEEE (The institute of Electric
al and
Electronics Engineers Inc.) through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wav
e
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 acco
unt
for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit o
f
measurement for the amount of radio frequency ener
gy
absorbed by the body when using a mobil
e phone.
The SAR value is determined at the highest cer
tified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the act
ual
SAR level of the mobile phone while operating c
an be
well below this value.
This is because the mobile phone is designed to use
the minimum power required to reach the network.
